Clean up on this Roomba i5 deal, dropping its price to an all-time low
If you need to enlist a little help with all of the spring cleaning you may need to do this year, we've got a great robot vacuum deal for you to consider. Amazon has dropped the price of the Roomba Combo i5 to just $199. This is good for $151 in savings, and $199 is the lowest price this robot vac and mop has seen. Amazon also has this listed as a limited time deal, however, so act quickly to ensure these savings.
The Roomba Combo i5 is one of the more recent releases in the Roomba lineup, and it's one of the better values you'll find among robot vacuum deals while it's at this $199 price point. It delivers some serious suction, but it's also designed for wet floor cleaning. That's right, this Roomba is a vacuum and mop combo, which is something that can be difficult to find for just $199.
As a vacuum, the Roomba i5 pulls in everyday dirt and debris with a four-stage cleaning system. It features dual multi-surface brushes that can adjust to different floor types automatically. They're also designed for homes with pets, and do a good job of avoiding getting tangled with pet hair.
As a mop, the specialized microfiber pad that's part of the Roomba i5 design can tackle footprints, dirt, and dust on a number of different hard floor surfaces. But the Roomba i5 is also super efficient in the way it cleans, as it's able to vacuum and mop simultaneously when working on hard floors. You can fill the i5's tank with a compatible cleaning solution, or you can simply add some water to put it to work as a mop.
The Roomba Combo i5 would make a great addition for anyone who wants it to integrate into a smart home setup. It's able to learn your home and create a smart map for easy cleaning schedules, but with an Alexa-compatible smart home device you can put it through its paces using just your voice.
The Roomba Combo i5 regularly goes for $350, but while this deal at Amazon lasts you can pick it up for just $199. That's more than $150 off, and it's the lowest price yet on the Roomba Combo i5.

The terrific HoverAir X1 selfie drone has plunged to its best price yet
Whether you're sightseeing or taking group selfies, the HoverAir X1 offers a fun, hands-free way to capture your summer vacation. And right now, it's available for around $268.99 ($80 off) at Amazon and B&H Photo, which is the best price we've seen on the selfie drone. Though fairly basic with a max resolution of 2.7K at 30fps, the HoverAir X1 excels at the essentials. The pocket-sized drone is quick and easy to set up – in under 20 seconds, my colleague Thomas Ricker was able to unfold it, power it on, and choose from six preset flight paths: hover, follow, orbit, zoom out, bird's eye, and a customizable mode – before capturing hands-free footage. It also comes with a companion app that lets you adjust distance, altitude, and other settings for each preset. To keep costs down, Zero Zero Robotics omitted some features that pricier drones from rivals like DJI offer, such as obstacle avoidance sensors and a physical controller. The HoverAir X1 also struggles in windy conditions and can't keep up with faster activities like road biking. It lacks GPS too – though the company included a VIO (Visual Inertial Odometry) system to compensate, which works well enough. Still, it does a great job covering everything most users need from a drone, making it a solid choice if you're looking for a budget-friendly, quick, and easy-to-use option. Zero Zero Robotics HoverAir X1 $34923% off $269 The pocketable HoverAir X1 keeps things simple, with a 2.7K at 30fps max resolution and six preset flight modes for easy, hands-free shooting. It lacks GPS and obstacle avoidance, but it launches in seconds and is easy to use. Three more deals worth checking out Amazon's latest Echo Spot is on sale starting at $49.95 ($30 off) at B&H Photo, which is the lowest we've seen it go for this year and $5 shy of the semi-circular smart display's all-time low. The Spot doubles as a great alarm clock that lets you gently wake up with your favorite music, while boasting a customizable 2.83-inch screen that shows useful information like the weather. It also offers Amazon Alexa integration, letting you control smart devices like lights with your voice right from your bed. Read our review. You can pick up the 6.3-inch Google Pixel 9A for $449 ($50 off) from Amazon, Best Buy, and directly from Google, which is its best price to Pixel 9A builds upon its predecessor with more robust IP68 water resistance and a slightly bigger and brighter screen. It also features an impressive camera system for the price and a 5,100mAh battery that should comfortably last over a day, along with seven years of promised OS updates. Read our review.

AST SpaceMobile soars on speculation of strategic tie-up with Jeff Bezos
-- Shares of Ast Spacemobile Inc (NASDAQ:ASTS) climbed 7.1% higher after Wednesday's open, building on a 4.3% gain from the previous session, as investors responded to renewed speculation around a potential strategic tie-up with Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin, or even Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) itself. The rally was triggered by an Instagram post from board member Adriana Cisneros showing herself, ASTS CEO Abel Avellan, and Bezos together, captioned: 'Amazing things are happening at AST & Science + Blue Origin.' The significance of the meeting, which came just days after Blue Origin executives visited ASTS headquarters in Texas, was underscored by subtle details, as Scotiabank (TSX:BNS) pointed out that Cisneros and Avellan wore guest badges and Bezos did not. The setting and context have prompted speculation that discussions may have moved beyond previously disclosed launch logistics to cover broader strategic and financial matters. ASTS already holds a major commercial agreement with Blue Origin for the launch of up to 45 BlueBird Block 2 satellites, with options for 15 more. Each New Glenn launch can carry up to eight satellites, making ASTS one of Blue Origin's top launch customers and a potentially attractive partner for further collaboration. Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket, a reusable heavy-lift vehicle capable of carrying 45 tons to orbit, made its debut in January 2025, reaching orbit but failing on booster recovery. The next launch is scheduled for the third quarter of 2025, and ASTS is expected to be a central customer as it accelerates satellite deployment. Scotiabank analyst Andres Coello weighed in with a note reiterating a 'Sector Outperform' rating and a $45.40 price target, while questioning the narrow interpretation of the meeting. 'Jeff Bezos Met With Abel Avellan and Adriana Cisneros... to Discuss Rockets Only?' he wrote, suggesting that deeper commercial integration or even a strategic stake could be under discussion, particularly given overlapping ambitions with Amazon's Project Kuiper. The Kuiper constellation, Amazon's answer to global broadband, is targeting a fixed service retail model with plans to deploy 3,236 satellites, backed by an investment of up to $16 billion. ASTS, by contrast, is pursuing wholesale direct-to-device broadband and sees long-term revenue of $30 billion by 2033, surpassing the $25 billion forecasted for Kuiper by Scotiabank GBM analyst Nat Schindler, while projecting EBITDA margins of around 90%. As ASTS's first institutional investor and current board member, Cisneros has played a visible role in raising the company's profile and flagging key developments publicly. Her social media post, combined with the high-level nature of the meeting, has been interpreted by markets as a signal that strategic conversations may be gaining momentum. The outsized move in ASTS shares reflects growing investor belief that its relationship with Blue Origin, and by extension Bezos or Amazon, may be evolving into something more significant. With strategic synergies around broadband access, launch logistics, and technology assets, the market is beginning to price in the possibility of a broader commercial or financial alignment.
