This Roborock S8 Max Ultra Suddenly Drops $500 on Amazon, Now Priced to Fly Off the Shelves
Roborock is probably the best robot vacuum and mop company, and its flagship products are legendary for reliability and advanced functionality. Most robovacs simply don't measure up: skipping spots, struggling with difficult stains, redepositing dust or requiring constant cleaning and upkeep. That's what makes Roborock S8 Max Ultra such a great upgrade: it's not so much that you're receiving a truly high-quality cleaning device, but this summer's Amazon flash sale temporarily reduces the price by a staggering $500. You now can bring the S8 Max Ultra home for just $799, down from its typical price of $1,299, which is a record all-time low that you simply can't miss out on. See at Amazon If you're tired of compromises most robovacs force you to accept, this is the best choice. Every aspect of this model has been tailored to realize maximum convenience, cleanliness and hygiene in the house. The powerful 8,000Pa suction places it among the top robot vacuum cleaners available, vacuuming hard debris and dust from carpets, tile and even marble floors. Combined with its advanced dual brush cleaning system and dual sonic mopping modules (capable of scrubbing floors at a blazing 4,000 times per minute) the S8 Max Ultra delivers a level of cleanliness you'll notice immediately. One of the most impressive features is the upgraded all-in-one RockDock Ultra: This dock does everything with virtually no effort from sanitizing and drying the mop in 140°F hot water that breaks up tough stains and kills lingering odors to self-refilling and automatic detergent dispensing for 3 full months of no-hands maintenance. Corner cleaning and edge maintenance are typically robot vacuum vulnerabilities, but the S8 Max Ultra doesn't fall into that trap: Its FlexiArm side brush extends far enough to reach concave corners and under pieces of furniture and achieves a full 100% coverage and leaving even the most challenging-to-reach areas spotless. The Extra Edge Mopping System keeps up with this degree of precision, and mops inches away from edges within under 1.7mm accuracy so your floor is treated inch by inch. Navigation is super intelligent on this device, with Roborock's PreciSense LiDAR technology combined with Reactive 3D Obstacle Avoidance: Your robot maps your home in an instant, learns your floorplan, and always avoids everyday objects, cords, and pet toys. Having the ability to create accurate and editable maps guarantees you can always rely on the S8 Max Ultra to clean the right areas and the right way. Few robot vacuum and mop combos hit all the right chords when it comes to power, intelligence and low-maintenance design. With the S8 Max Ultra dropping to $799 for a limited time, there may not be a better opportunity to enjoy the convenience that Roborock is renowned for. See at Amazon

Roborock's Saros Z70 With OmniGrip Still Can't Put Away My Flip-Flops
I spent a few weeks lying in wait around my house, stalking it. My poor OmniGrip got into trouble all the time. I spent a morning wrestling the arm out of our freestanding toilet paper holder in the bathroom. It pulled all the kitchen towels off the rack. The emergency stop button (and the child lock) work, but you still have to pry the item out of its claw. Roborock has acknowledged in an email that there are many weird limitations to OmniGrip. For example, it does not recognize shoes that aren't on a hard surface, so it can't pick up a flip-flop on carpet. Sometimes it picks something up and immediately puts it back down again. If you want to pick something up remotely, you have to position the robot vacuum carefully until the desired object is within a 'blue zone' in the camera view. Even without acknowledging that it's hard to navigate in the app without any dead reckoning, the vacuum failed several times to recognize a crumpled tissue in the blue zone at all. Also, for the time being, the app warns you to be physically near the vacuum. That pretty much negates the 'playing with your lonely pet from the office' ideal use case. After a month in my chaotic house, the Saros Z70's machine learning is so confused that it simply doesn't sort anything at all. Most days, it cleans, then turns around in a circle and says, 'Sorting failed' before returning home to sulk. That's not to say that it can't work; these problems seem like they could be fixed with a few software updates. Unfortunately, it doesn't work well right now . Run Time Screenshot Roborock Saros Z70 via Adrienne So As far as the rest of the robot vacuum goes, the one major difference between the Saros Z70 and the Saros 10R is that the battery life is much shorter on the arm-wielding bot. Whereas the Saros 10R can usually clean the whole first floor of my house in one go, the Saros Z70 often returns to the dock mid-clean to recharge; my 9 am scheduled clean can last until 2 or 3 pm. This isn't a problem for me, but it could be a factor if you start your vacuum after dinner and want it to be done before you go to bed. Roborock has the best navigation system I've tested so far. The proprietary name is StarSight Autonomous 2.0, and it's basically lidar—pulsed lasers that give the robot real-time information as it navigates around your house. It also has a camera on the mechanical arm (hence, why it got tangled up in the toilet paper holder) as well as on the front of the vacuum, but like all Roborock vacuums, it adheres to TÜV Rheinland security standards and the ETSI EN 303 645 cybersecurity standards, so I feel OK with it moving around my house. I am perpetually impressed by how well the Roborock navigates around obstacles; with two kids and a dog, my house is unusually full of stray items. When the Saros Z70 was running, I deliberately stopped picking up as much as I normally do to see if it got tripped up. Other than a few items that no robot vacuum could have coped with, like my daughter's doll's hair, it coped remarkably well.

This eufy Robot Vacuum Is Pretty Much Free on Amazon, and We Really Mean It
Not everyone will spend $1,500 on the most expensive high-end Roborock robot vacuum, but that doesn't mean you have to live in a dirty house or spend weekends sweeping. A few alternatives achieve good results for a fraction of the price and for those who'd like effortless floor cleaning without lifting a finger, the eufy robot vacuum 11S MAX is a top choice in its category. Now, it can be found on Amazon for an all-time low of $159, down from its usual $280 (which is a staggering 43% off). See at Amazon Despite its affordability, the eufy 11S MAX provides actual cleaning power to hardwood floor, tile, and medium-pile carpet. With the new BoostIQ technology, the vacuum booster activates automatically within 1.5 seconds when the machine encounters areas requiring special attention. This feature provides consistent performance so the transition from wooden floors to area rugs is seamless and efficient, and cleans fewer particles than other robots or manual cleaning can handle. You'll notice the thoughtful design choices that make the eufy 11S MAX practical for daily life. Its anti-scratch tempered glass cover not only gives it a modern look, but also protects it from everyday wear and tear. Infrared sensors help the robot avoid unexpected obstacles while drop-sensing technology prevents falls on stairs or uneven surfaces. As the battery runs low, the 11S MAX will automatically return to its charging dock by itself. On a single battery, the model will operate for up to 100 minutes on hardwood flooring, so it has the ability to clean multiple rooms at a time. The decibel level is surprisingly low, roughly comparable to a microwave so it can be used while watching TV or making work calls while the vacuum cleans the floor. Even households with kids or pets will enjoy the quiet and peace. No fiddling with phone apps: everything is done through the included remote or on-hand. This saves unnecessary hassle and is perfect for those who want a hassle-free experience. If you're looking to automate your cleaning routine without shelling out luxury-level cash, this Amazon deal is as practical as it gets. See at Amazon
