Walmart+ Week robot vacuum deals: Few and far between

UPDATE: Jun. 21, 2024, 10:00 a.m. EDT We've pulled all of the best robot vacuum deals live on the fifth day of Walmart+ Week 2024 and will update the list if Walmart adds anything noteworthy throughout the weekend.

Walmart's version of Prime Day didn't quite start with the bang that the internet was expecting. The first day of Walmart+ Week, June 17, unveiled far fewer member-exclusive deals than what we're used to (compared to 2023's Walmart+ Week or Walmart's Black Friday sales), seemingly focusing on other Walmart+ perks like cash back with Walmart+ travel and double fuel savings. And the list of underwhelming deals has stayed pretty stagnant since kickoff.

In terms of robot vacuum deals, a core category for previous Walmart events (and Prime Day, which is coming up next month), most of Walmart's best deals aren't exclusive to Walmart+ Week — they're actually ones we've been seeing for weeks in our biweekly robot vacuum deals tracking.

The best deal added just for Walmart+ Week, the recently-released Roborock Qrevo S for $649.99, has been tricky to find in stock all week, but is also available at Amazon and Roborock's website without having any special membership. Another Walmart+ exclusive robot vacuum deal, the Roomba i4+ for $349.99, isn't one we'd recommend. It's a relatively irrelevant Roomba that does too little even for the sale price point — $350 would likely get you further with another brand.

What is Walmart+ Week?

Walmart+ Week is supposed to be one of Walmart's biggest sale events of the year. The 2024 event is happening weeks ahead of Prime Day, from June 17 to June 23 at 9 p.m. EST, after last year's event took place during the same week that Amazon held Prime Day in July.

Only Walmart+ members can unlock (or even see) Walmart+ Week offerings, the same way that participation in Prime Day is contingent on being a Prime member. Past access to exclusive deals during sale events, the $98/year (or 12.95/month) Walmart+ membership comes with benefits like free Paramount+ streaming, free shipping with no order minimum, and fuel savings at Exxon and Mobil. Unfortunately, those on a free trial can't access the existing Walmart+ exclusive deals either. Even if you sign up for a paid membership today, it seems as if the "paid" perks don't kick in until after the 30-day free trial is up. We'll be sure to update this page if any changes to access happen throughout the sale period.

At any rate, whether it's officially a Walmart+ Week participant or not, a robot vacuum deal is a robot vacuum deal. We're keeping track of the best ones below and will update the list throughout the rest of the event. Deals with a strikeout were either sold out or expired at the time of writing.

Why we like it

We don't know how this botvac hasn't sold out after sitting at this stellar sale price for weeks now, but we're not complaining. This chic gray version of the Shark Matrix RV2300S brings home both automatic emptying and smart mapping — two key features that keep you from having to babysit a robovac — for less than $300. Though it's one of Shark's more basic models, it's still capable of cleaning in Matrix mode, where the vacuum creates a virtual grid and vacuums in a crosshatch pattern to lift debris from multiple angles.
