Offering large discounts on certain products is one of the signatures of the company, as is attacking a product category with multiple options at different price points. The mid-tier option of the robot vacuum space is available at Best Buy and Amazon for $399.99. The Jet Bot Plus has a soft brush that's good for hard surfaces, and a self-cleaning station that's borrowed from its pricier, artificial intelligence counterpart. The Jet Bot Plus is a bit more affordable at 50 percent off the regular price of $799.

The Jet Bot Plus has a self-cleaning station that makes it more attractive at this price point, but it lacks some of the deep carpet cleaning you get in other models. It also has a tendency to tangle up long strands of hair, which is something vacuums like the recently updated iRobot Roomba i3 PlusEVO now do better. The Jet Bot Plus is a good value at its current price, and it might be worth it for some.

The lidar sensor in the Jet Bot Plus can be used to map the floors in your home. The clean station is the same as the pricier one.
