Amazon Prime Day is an excellent time to get a deal, and even more so when the item you’re purchasing is already a budget-friendly pick even before the discount. And that’s why I’ve found one of the best value robot vacuums for you to pick up this Prime Day.

Robot vacuums don’t need to cost a fortune, although there are plenty of high-end models if you want to spend big bucks. However, if you’re testing the waters and don’t want to commit a lot of money, there are plenty of decent robot vacuums to buy.

My top budget pick is the iLife V3s Pro, which tops our best robot buying guide as the best value robot vacuum. What’s more, with the Prime Day discount of 38%, it’s now only $99 at Amazon.

Our favorite budget robot vacuum cleaner just got cheaper. While it lacks the smarts of more expensive models, the V3s Pro is an excellent robo vac, picking up virtually everything we threw in its path — including pet hair. In our iLife V3s Pro review, we named the Editor's Choice vacuum the best budget cleaner. This Prime exclusive deal brings the price down to the lowest it's ever been.

We loved the iLife V3s Pro when it was tested, and it earned a 4.5-star rating, with our reviewer describing it as a “low-cost powerhouse” that’s “great for multi-pet homes.” And if that’s not enough to get you interested, it looks pretty cool too.

When we tested it, it consistently outperformed other robot vacuums that cost three times as much, performing well in home testing in everyday use, including reaching well against baseboards and picking up bits and pieces from the kitchen floor. However, it might be slower than those more expensive models — it isn't particularly smart, so it'll bump its way around your home randomly until everything is cleaned.

The iLife V3s Pro has a low profile design, making it easy to glide under couches and beds without bumping into the sides. It’s engineered to pick up dirt, crumbs, and debris on tiles, laminate, stone and low pile carpet, with an expected runtime of 90-100 minutes.

Overall, it's an impressive robot vacuum that performs well, and is definitely worth adding to your shopping basket this Prime Day.
