Whether you just finished your big spring cleanup or you're waiting until the last minute, a robot vacuum can help you toward your mission of keeping a cleaner home. It can either keep the place tidy after you finish all the hard work, or help you whip your home into shape while you focus on other things. But for maximum results, you're going to need a good one.

You can get a cheap robot vacuum that will do a decent job, or spend big bucks on a technological behemoth that can also mop your floors and even automatically clean. Today, during Amazon's Big Spring Sale, one of the best brands, Roborock, has solid sales on a whole range of models, so you can get a reliable robot vac for less.

Roborock vacuums discounted during Amazon's Big Spring Sale

What's the deal with Roborock, you ask? The brand consistently puts out solid machines. For instance, the S8 Max V Ultra really wowed Lifehacker's Amanda Blum with its easy setup, substantial suction power, and elevated mopping performance, while the S8 Pro Ultra impressed her with its autonomy, Lidar laser-enabled self-direction, and maneuverability.

Here are the models on sale right now.

The Roborock Qrevo Master is great for pet owners

Typically $1,599.99 but marked down to $799.99 for the shopping holiday, the Qrevo Master is a vacuum-and-mop combo with a bunch of interesting features. It comes with "Intelligent Dirt Detection" that enables it to detect and revisit heavily soiled areas, a dock that self-cleans and won't need to be emptied for seven weeks, a FlexiArm Side Brush that gets into edges and corners, 10,000Pa suction, and, interestingly, "real-time video calls and two-way voice interaction with your pets." The Qrevo Master automatically recognizes pets and you can even use its cameras to check on your animals (or whatever you want, really) while you're away.

The S8+ is a cheaper option with solid specs

If you don't need 10,000Pa suction. Good for you! You get to save even more money. The S8+ has 6,000Pa suction and its self-cleaning dock needs to be refreshed every 60 days or so, but it's $499.99 instead of $999.99 right now. Per the company, it is, "smart enough to stay out of troubles," as it uses 3D mapping technology to map out your home as it cleans.

The Q8 Max is a cheaper options that packs a big punch

Try the Q8 Max or S8 if you only want to spend $259.99 (instead of the usual $599.99) or $349.99 (down from $749.99). Both map your house like the more expensive options and feature a DuoRoller brush that's perfect for picking up hair, but they lack a a self-cleaning dock, so you will have to empty it out after it vacuums or mops.

The Q8 Max+ and Q5 Pro+ self-clean for less

If you liked the price points on the Q8Max or S8 but really want that self-cleaning dock, consider the Q8 Max+, which is $399.99 right now (down from $819.99), or the Q5 Pro+, down to $299.99 (from $$699.99). For a few extra dollars, you get the DuoRoller brush, home-mapping, and object avoidance, plus that self-cleaning dock you don't need to touch for seven weeks. The power is lower—5,500Pa suction on both—but that's the biggest tradeoff compared to the more expensive models.

The Q7 Max+ is right in the middle

Finally, the Q7 Max+ is in the sweet spot in terms of price and function: Normally $869.99, it's $549.99 right now. Though you only get 4,200Pa suction, you don't have to empty the self-cleaning dock for seven weeks, it comes with a 30-level adjustable water flow for mopping, it uses Lidar navigation, and you can set no-mop and no-go zones to make sure it's staying out of those "trouble" spots.
