Why You Should Think Twice Before Buying A Roomba At Bed Bath & Beyond

When looking for items with the best price for the best quality, we all have our go-to stores. But, we need to be cautious when visiting certain retailers that may not be advertising the greatest deals on certain products. For example, Bed Bath & Beyond has been a popular retailer for years and is known for selling a wide variety of home items, such as cleaning supplies, cooking utensils, window treatments, and home decor. Although it's a convenient shopping spot for many homeowners — we suggest thinking twice before purchasing a Roomba.

According to Robots, a Roomba is a self-cleaning vacuum that is able to guide itself around your home as it sucks up dirt. Once done, it makes its way back to its charging port to get ready for its next cleaning cycle. It's definitely a handy product for busy homeowners, but it shouldn't be purchased from just anywhere. We'll reveal why it's best to avoid Bed Bath & Beyond, and the retailer that naturally appears to be the better option.

According to Insider, the Roombas at Bed Bath & Beyond are way overpriced. "The Roomba 890 is a full $100 less expensive at Amazon," shopping expert Trae Bodge revealed. "Plus, most Roomba models are exempt from the Bed Bath & Beyond 20% coupon." We did our own digging to see if this was true and found that the Roomba 5150 from Bed Bath & Beyond is currently priced at about $350, while Amazon's is currently only about $285.

We also discovered that the Roomba 3150 is priced at about $342 at Bed Bath & Beyond, and can be purchased at the lower price of $298 on Amazon. Moreover, if you don't mind used items, you can save even more and purchase the product for only $200 — a further $142 decrease. As we scrolled through the retailer's website, we also verified that most Roomba products were labeled as excluded from coupons.
