It's a new year, and while you're tackling your resolutions, probably the last thing on your mind is cleaning. For the perfect way to get the new year off to a cleaner start, consider investing in one of the best robot vacuums. Amazon's making that easier than ever this weekend with huge discounts on Roombas. 

For instance, the iRobot Roomba 694 is just $159 at Amazon right now. At 42% off, that means you get even more bang for your buck for one of the most affordable vacuum cleaners iRobot offers. It features great cleaning power, geofencing, and scheduling options for a super-low price. If you've got more of a budget to play with, Amazon also has robot vacuum and mop duos on sale like the iRobot Roomba Combo i5+ for $349 and the latest-and-greatest iRobot Roomba Combo j7+ for $699, which remains the reigning champ on our best Roombas list. 

Before you select one of the best robot vacuums, make sure you know what features you need. A self-emptying base will add to the price tag, although it’s great for added convenience and if you suffer from allergies. A mop function is useful if you're looking for a great combo cleaner, or you can opt for a standalone model like the iRobot Braava Jet m6 marked down to $249 at Amazon. 

Here are the best Roomba deals you can get right now.
