With the holiday shopping season now upon us, Black Friday and Cyber Monday are likely the best times to get some big discounts on lots of gifts. This includes several deals in the consumer robotics space, which includes vacuum cleaners and consumer drones.

For the most part, Amazon is matching a lot of the deals we’ve been able to find, but if you have a preferred retailer other than Amazon, here’s what we’ve been able to discover, based on announcements from major manufacturers and retailers.

Please note that prices are subject to change in either direction, and likely have deadlines attached to them (Black Friday, Cyber Monday only, for example, or in-store only).

Also, don’t forget to check out our 2018 Holiday Gift Guide, which features a list of toys, drones, vacuums and books to consider giving as gifts this year.
