Changes of $20 or more. A row is one store’s lowest price for the model across its colors and bundles, on that store’s first day in the month and on Oct 31. Sale: the store showed a struck-through price on October 31, 2026. New price: the lower price held for at least 14 days. Too early to tell: the drop came later than that. Sale ended: the price went back to what the store usually asked. Price increase: every other rise.

## Real discounts or not?

On October 31, 2026, 41 offers at the stores here showed a struck-through price. We checked each one against what the same store charged in the 30 days before the sale began: the test EU price rules set for a "was" price.

- Real discount: 0 (0%)
- Not a real discount: 8 (100%)
- Too early to check: 33

Too few could be checked yet for a share to say much. Too early to check: the sale began before we had watched the store for 30 days.

## How this report is made

- A price is an offer a buyer could order that day. A sold-out day is no price, a failed check keeps the price before it, and a price our checks hold back as unlikely is left out.
- The price change follows each model at the same store from that store’s first day in the month to its last, and averages the changes (a geometric mean). A store we read on fewer than 14 days of the month is left out of it, so a store new to us never reads as a price drop.
- Only US stores count, at their shelf prices before sales tax.
- The stores in the price change, with the first day we read each: Dreame (brand store) (Oct 1), iRobot (brand store) (Oct 1), MOVA (brand store) (Oct 1), Narwal (brand store) (Oct 1), Roborock (brand store) (Oct 1), and Ecovacs (brand store) (Oct 10).
