Prime Day 2021: The 66 Absolute Best Deals (Day 2)

https://theministerofcapitalism.com/blog/prime-day-2021-the-66-absolute-best-deals-day-2/

Amazon’s Prime Day has grown into one of the biggest online shopping holidays of the year, thanks to the tech and retail giant’s massive commercial reach (which is also cause for concern). Rival sales from other retailers are plentiful now too. As we have for many years, members of the WIRED Gear Team are sorting through hundreds of thousands of deals, cross-checking our “Best of” guides, and debating what the absolute greatest Prime Day deals are right now. Below you’ll find our top picks. If you’re new to this shopping holiday, be sure to check our Prime Day shopping tips before you start clicking.

Note: We regularly update articles and strike through items that sell out or rise in price as of publishing, and we mark discounts based on recent product pricing or average price, not MSRP. Be sure to check discounts for yourself. Our picks come from research and our extensive experience reviewing products. You’ll need an Amazon Prime subscription to get most of these deals.

Updated Tuesday: We’ve updated pricing throughout, struck out or removed dead deals, and added new ones like the MacPook pro, Acer Swift 3, Dyson V8, Dyson Air Purifier, Traeger Grill, and more.

WIRED’s Prime Day Stories

It’s actually a great time to buy stuff to cook, clean, or organize your home. There are great deals on Instant Pots, reusable storage bags, and even a Dutch oven.

Instant Pot Duo Plus

It wouldn’t be Prime Day without a few awesome deals on Instant Pots. Lots of Instant stuff is on sale, including its first ever air purifier, but this is the Instant Pot that members of the Gear team use every week, years after our initial purchases. You can even turn it into an air fryer with a lid attachment. It’s awesome.

If you live alone or with just one other person, you might not need the full 6-quart Instant Pot. This smaller version is just as good as the big model, but without forcing you to eat leftovers for days.

A KitchenAid stand mixer is a worthwhile purchase if you love to cook and bake. They’re made to last and look sleek in a kitchen, especially in the red or blue colors that give them a vintage vibe.

Coway Airmega 200M

This is our favorite air purifier for small rooms. It’s rated to clean out the air of a 361-square-foot room, and a built-in air-quality monitor will help it automatically roar to life when it detects pollution. It’s a great price for a simple and reliable air purifier.

Senior associate editor Adrienne So tests new robot vacuums every month, but Roomba vacuums seem to always make their way to the top of her lists. She’s tested several Roombas in the 690 series, and this is the best price you’ll find for one outside of Black Friday or other holiday sales. If you’re looking for a robot vac, now is the time to buy.

Adrienne also recommends this model, which received an update that brought a smart mapping feature from the Roomba i7+. It’ll learn the intricate pathways of your home and will follow them to pick up dirt with its powerful suction. IRobot also has one of the only self-emptying bins that actually works.

Stasher Reusable Bags

We love Stasher bags. They’re better for the environment than single-use Ziploc bags, and they’re dishwasher-friendly. The only downside? They’re usually pretty spendy. So take this opportunity to stock up! You can also get the sandwich size for $9 ($3 off) and the snack bag for $7 ($3 off).

I (Parker Hall) have cooked dozens of casseroles, soups, and other dishes in this Lodge Dutch oven, and I highly recommend it to all. I’ve cooked with fancier pots from Le Creuset at my mom’s house, and I just really can’t tell the difference. This is a steal. They even have Le Creuset-like colors—though not all the colors are discounted the same amount. This also made our guide to cooking in a tiny kitchen.

Roborock S4 Max

Photograph: Roborock

Of all the robot vacuums that Adrienne So has tested, Roborock has emerged as the front-runner. It has an insanely long battery life, remarkable navigation capabilities, and a slightly bigger dust bin than average. This is one robot vacuum that won’t bug you more than it helps you.

The Dyson V8 is our top budget pick among Dyson Vacuums.

Stop throwing La Croix cans in the recycling and make your own sparkling water. The Fizzi doesn’t even need electricity, so you can even use it when camping.

Wi-Fi-enabled security cameras can be immensely useful, but it can be hard to find a brand that hasn’t had a security breach or doesn’t share info with law enforcement. In our testing, we’ve found Arlo cameras to have good picture quality and never really break. An outdoor floodlight adds an extra layer of deterrent to would-be yard invaders, but be sure to place your camera in such a way that you’re not recording public spaces.

Colgage Hum Electric Toothbrush

Photograph: Colgate

Click the coupon on the page to get some of this discount; the rest is taken out at checkout. This is our favorite electric toothbrush. It’s more affordable than any other smart brush we’ve tried when it’s not on sale, and this is the lowest we’ve seen it. It’s slim and light, with accurate tracking via an app that shows you exactly where you’re missing. Better yet, you don’t have to have the app open every single time you use it. You can still collect points (which translate to a few dollars off replacement brush heads) by connecting the brush to your phone every 10 days.

SKG F5 Body Massager

Photograph: SKG

Clip the on-page coupon to see the full discount at checkout. The SKG F5 isn’t too powerful, but it’s a much more affordable Theragun alternative, and it even adds heat to help relax your tight muscles. This is the lowest price we’ve seen.

This is one of our favorite bedside fans for keeping cool at night, and it’s a powerful enough air purifier to keep your bedroom’s air clean.

Ecobee Smart Thermostat

Photograph: Ecobee

Ecobee’s smart thermostat remains our favorite smart thermostat for good reason. It’s super easy to install, and extra sensors pick up the temperature in different parts of your house and adjust your HVAC system accordingly. I (Parker Hall) also like that you can set it to sync up with your power utility, so that it saves money during peak hours. With good temperature scheduling, it also means that you can make it cooler at night if you’re a warm sleeper.

A few Lego sets have been on sale, and quickly gone out of stock. This 216-piece set will be a relatively quick project for nimble-fingered Star Wars fans.

Target’s cat scratch houses are ridiculously cute and often make the rounds on TikTok. This Surf Shop design is a perfect summertime addition for any felines (and owners!) who like to hang ten.

Laptop and Home Office Deals

If you’re going to be working from home long-term, now is a good time to snag some discounts on displays, desks, and other necessities for your home office. See our guide on setting up your own WFH space.

Apple MacBook Pro M1

Photograph: Apple

This is the lowest price we’ve seen yet on Apple’s new MacBook Pro, which features the speedy new M1 chip. Only modestly heavier than the MacBook Air, the Pro gets better battery life, and has a brighter 13-inch screen.

Chromebooks are often underpowered, but not this 13-inch Lenovo, which packs an Intel Core i3 processor. It’d be nice if there was a little more RAM, but the i3 chip, combined with the 4 gigabytes of RAM, should be able to handle most of what the web throws at you.

Acer Swift 5

Photograph: Acer

The Swift 5 is a thin, light powerhouse of a laptop with long battery life. With 16 gigabytes of RAM, a 1-terabyte drive, and an Intel Core i7 processor, this machine won’t stumble editing video, and you still get plenty of ports for all your accessories, old and new. This is a great deal on one of our favorite laptops.

Samsung has come out with a newer version of the Galaxy Chromebook than this, but this is still one of the best we’ve used. The only problem is the battery life, which is pretty bad—you’ll rarely get more than 5.5 hours of juice before a trip to the wall.

Flexispot Standing Desk

Photograph: Amazon

Reviews editor Julian Chokkattu really likes Flexispot’s EN1 standing desk. This version is better than that one, with USB charging ports (two USB-A and one USB-C) and a drawer. You can keep settings for multiple people (there are four height memory buttons), and this one even has a child lock that prevents kids from operating the desk. Click the on-page coupon for the full discount.

This 32-inch monitor is large enough for two full internet tabs to sit side by side, and you also get high resolution (2,560 x 1,440 pixels) and support for AMD’s FreeSync if you plan on gaming. The array of ports on the back include HDMI, DisplayPort, USB-C, USB-A, plus a headphone jack, and it can be VESA mounted if you want to ditch the stand. This ties the cheapest we’ve ever seen it.

If you’ve got the desk space, there’s really nothing as glorious as a 49-inch ultrawide. This is the lowest price we’ve ever seen for this monitor, which works well for both gaming and everyday work. The VA panel has a 120-Hz screen refresh rate—great for racing or first-person shooter games—and has a whopping 5,120 x 1,440 resolution. You’ll need a pretty powerful computer to get the most out of this, but if you’ve got one it’s a great deal.

This is our favorite laptop stand for most people. It can get higher than most, and you can adjust it to pretty much any angle you want. It’s also sturdy enough that you don’t have to worry about heavier laptops or tablets.

Nnewvante laptop desk

If you find yourself often typing on the couch or in bed, then get this mini desk. It has a wide surface area to fit most laptops or tablets, and you can elevate one side of it to angle it to your liking. The other end stays put, so you can keep your coffee there. Our Best Laptop Stands guide has more options.

Even with Apple’s recent AirTag launch, Tile is still one of our favorite ways to find all your stuff. I (Parker) have been using this set for about six months, and I never lose my stuff. This 2-pack comes with both a Pro and a Slim tile. The Pro attaches to your keys and the Slim slides in your wallet, making it a perfect one-two combo.

Eero Pro

Photograph: Eero

Amazon-owned Eero makes easy-to-use mesh routers. If you’ve been noticing your internet speeds aren’t up to par, this can fix it. Amazon promises they won’t spy on you.

For a traditional, mesh-less router, this Netgear has support for the latest Wi-Fi 6 standard, which lets you connect more devices and still get enough data throughput to all of them. (Your devices need to support Wi-Fi 6 too.) Still, it’s fast, has broad coverage, and offers up five gigabit Ethernet ports so you can get speedy internet on all your primary devices.

Phones and Tablets

Apple iPad Air

Photograph: Apple

This is the best iPad for most people, especially if you plan on using it for work (see our iPad guide for more details on why we think so). It’s powerful, has a modern design, yet retains features like Touch ID, which is integrated into the side power button. It works with the second-gen Apple Pencil too.

This is our favorite Android camera phone right now. It has an excellent and versatile camera system that lets you snap photos up to 10X zoom in great quality. It also excels in performance and screen quality, and it has an exceptional build. It’s full-featured, and you can read more about it in our review. The standard Galaxy S21 is also on sale for $675 ($135 off) when you add it to your cart; it gets you most of the same features, though the camera quality is a step behind.

OnePlus 8

Photograph: OnePlus

The OnePlus 8 (8/10, WIRED Recommends) uses 2020’s flagship Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, and at this price, it’s one of the cheapest powerful Android phones around. Read our full writeup on this deal.

This is one of the lowest prices we’ve seen on an already cheap phone. It’s one of our favorites under $250. You get nearly three-day battery life, solid performance, and passable cameras. You can read more about it in our review.

Native Union Dock Wireless Charger

Photograph: Native Union

This is our favorite wireless charging stand overall. The fabric won’t scratch your phone, and the steel base with silicone grips prevents it from wobbling around. Plus, the LED that signals it’s charging is on the back, so you don’t have a blinding light right in your face. There’s no power adapter included, but you do get a 6.5-foot-long USB-A to USB-C cable.

This wireless charger will recharge any phone that supports wireless charging, but it’s best paired with select Pixel phones that have the feature. It’s our favorite wireless charger for nightstands (seriously). Plop your phone on it and you’ll be treated to an interface that resembles a smart display. You can have it cycle through your favorite albums from Google Photos, get easy access to Google Assistant, and have your phone screen brighten up in a warm tone right before your alarm goes off to slowly pull you out of sleep.

Reviews editor Julian Chokkattu loves Moment lenses for stepping up his phone photography game. The Gold Flare Anamorphic lens is also discounted. They’re pricey even on sale, though, and you’ll need a Moment case for them to work. See below for case discounts.

This mic plugs right into your iPhone’s charging port and should really improve audio recording outdoors and in the classroom, if you record for notes. It’s also great as a tool for recording yourself as you learn how to play an instrument.

This is a nice, thin case compatible with Moment’s lenses mentioned above, as well as MagSafe. You can get this case in yellow too. For different types of cases and phone types, see the rest of Moment’s Prime Day sales.

Headphone and Speaker Deals

From noise-canceling over-ears to nearly indestructible in-ears, some of our favorite headphones and Bluetooth speakers see steep discounts this Prime Day.

Sony WH-1000XM4 Noise-Canceling Headphones

Photograph: Sony

This is the lowest price ever on our favorite wireless headphones. The fourth generation of Sony’s flagship model brings better microphones and even better sound to an already great package. They have long battery life, a comfy fit, and some of the best sound quality for the price.

Bose’s flagship noise-canceling headphones are also cheaper than ever this Prime Day. They have even better microphones than the Sony model above, but slightly worse sound quality. They’re the best headphones for phone calls—even if you’re in a noisy coffee shop or the kids are yelling in the next room, they use special tech to silence the world around you so the person on the other end will hear you clearly.

Jabra’s lifeproof earbuds are cheaper than ever this Prime Day. They boast an IP57 dust- and water-resistance rating and come with noise canceling and four beam-forming mics for flights and calls. The newer Jabra 85T have taken this pair’s spot on our Best Wireless Earbuds list, but they’re still great.

Beats Powerbeats Pro

Photograph: Beats

The full discount is added once you’ve started the checkout process. The Powerbeats Pro by Apple are some of our favorite wireless workout earbuds. They get amazing battery life and sound excellent. The only downside to them might be that if you aren’t working out, they can be a little cumbersome to put on and take off, and their charging cradle is large. They’ve alternated between $200 and a $170 sale price most of this year.

The Beats Flex have fluctuated between this price and $50, but if you want the functionality of more expensive Apple headphones but without spending over $100, these are your best bet. They made our list of the Best Cheap Headphones.

1More ColorBuds

Photograph: 1More

These are our favorite wireless earbuds (8/10, WIRED Recommends) for most people. That’s because they’re affordable (especially on sale), offer up a comfy fit, are sweat-resistant so you can use them for your home workouts, and they manage to sound pretty great for the price. They hold six hours of battery life, but you can pop ’em in the case, which holds another 16 hours.

The 45H are our favorite headphones under $100 for good reason. They have 40 hours of battery life, a comfortable fit, and pretty decent sound. If you need a cheap pair to go with your new phone, check these out.

JBL Boombox

Photograph: JBL

If you miss the boombox era but you’re in love with Spotify or Apple Music, this giant Bluetooth speaker from JBL might strike your fancy. The speaker made our list solely because it’s so unique. It has a familiar handled design and big bass ports on each side, plus a giant battery that makes it capable of 24 hours of playtime. Plus, an IPX7 rating means you don’t have to worry about leaving it out in the rain.

We found this deal at B&H, too. The only reason we don’t regularly tell our readers to buy Bose speakers is their prices. But at this discount, the Soundlink Revolve+ definitely deserves a look. There are cheaper options available from the likes of JBL or Ultimate Ears, but the Soundlink Revolve+ sounds great in all directions thanks to a 360-degree driver system, the IPX4 rating protects it from splashes, and the included handle makes it super easy to tote around, like a lantern full of party jams. It’s the “Fun” pick in our Best Bluetooth Speakers guide.

Be sure to check out our full list of Amazon device deals this Prime Day. Plus, read about all our favorite Kindles, Echos and other smart speakers, Fire tablets, and streaming devices.

Photograph: Amazon

We’ve loved the basic Kindle for years, and now that it comes with a backlight, it’s the model we recommend in our Best Kindles guide. This is the best price we’ve seen in 2021, and it even comes with three months of Kindle Unlimited, which lets you read a huge number of ebooks for free.

If you’re a bathtub or beach reader, the Kindle Paperwhite is worth the extra cash. It features an IPX8 rating, which means you can chuck it in 2 meters of water (not that you should). Otherwise, it’s very similar to the standard Kindle. Read the differences here. You can get the Paperwhite in 8 gigabytes or 32 for $15 more.

The latest Echo Buds (8/10, WIRED Recommends) are a great value at this Prime Day price. Sure, you don’t get the same noise-canceling quality as the most expensive buds from Sony and Apple, but these come with a battery case that wirelessly charges, Alexa onboard, solid sound, and a price less than half as high as those options. They’re a super deal, provided you don’t hate Amazon’s voice assistant.

Echo Show 10

Photograph: Amazon

The swiveling screen of the Echo Show 10 makes it awesome for those with kids who are constantly darting in and out of frame, but it does require a bit more counter space than the smaller Echo Shows. The size does have a benefit when it comes to sound, with the rounded base pumping out a pretty surprising soundstage.

The latest Echo Show looks just like its predecessor, but it features a much better camera and the ability to follow you as you wander around your kitchen or living room. We like this size more than the 5- or 10-inch options because it fits nearly anywhere, and the screen remains big enough that it’s easy to see on the countertop. Read our Echo guide to learn more.

Adrienne So likes how cute the Echo Show kids editions are, and she says they have surprisingly clear sound. This deal also includes a year of Amazon Kids+ (formerly FreeTime Unlimited) content. After the first year, Amazon Kids+ is $3 per month, so definitely note that if you plan to cancel. You can also get it colored black and white with a panda face on it.

Fire TV Stick 4K

Photograph: Amazon

The Fire TV Stick 4K is one of the best streaming devices for your TV. It’s not as great as Roku or Android TV, but Fire TV is still a solid ecosystem, and for $25 this is a great way to upgrade from your TV’s built-in interface. Unsurprisingly, the main menu is geared heavily toward Prime Video content.

This is our favorite Amazon Fire tablet and the best budget tablet. Amazon added more RAM and a brighter screen to the Fire HD 10 earlier this year, making it a much more capable tablet than the 8-inch version. The Plus model with an extra gig of RAM is also on sale for $110 ($70 off), along with a new productivity bundle for $180 ($120 off). The above deal includes a keyboard, along with software tailored to working, making the Fire HD 10 a more capable device—so long as you don’t require Google Sheets or Docs, which don’t work on it.

The Fire HD 8 Kids Edition is our favorite tablet for kids under the age of 7. It’s compact enough for younger hands and well built enough that you won’t worry too much about drops. You also get a no-questions-asked two-year replacement plan, which is helpful for clumsy kiddos.

I (Parker Hall) have been using the Echo Dot with clock as an alarm clock for more than a year now, and it’s become indispensable. It’s the best Alexa speaker for the bedroom. I like that it tells you when you have an alarm set and counts down visually from timers, and it doubles as the best sleep sounds machine I’ve found. It sounds pretty good, too, with enough volume to fill most small rooms with your favorite tunes.

There aren’t a ton of home theater deals this Prime Day, but the ones that exist are pretty impressive, including an OLED TV and one of our favorite soundbars.

Samsung HW-T650 Soundbar

Samsung

Vizio’s easy-to-use soundbar with rotating speakers was originally on this list, and it’s back in stock again! This is a pretty significant discount on a system that sounds great and is especially well-suited for spaces that aren’t otherwise set up to be used with wired speakers.

Just ask Adrienne So, our senior associate editor: A basic soundbar will make your TV or movie viewing experience dramatically immersive. This is a quality bar from Samsung that usually costs a bit more, with a wireless subwoofer for better bass than stand-alone bars.

Big TVs are the new hot ticket for homebuyers, but most of them look pretty bad or cost a lot of money. This 85-inch model from Sony actually looks pretty good, and it’s seriously discounted this Prime Day. We listed the smaller X800H in our Best TVs roundup.

Some peripherals that we really love, like headsets and gaming mice, are on super sale this Prime Day. This is also a pretty good time to buy a late-model gaming laptop.

Razer Viper Ultimate Mouse

Photograph: Razer

This is our favorite mouse with a dock. Razer makes some of the best gaming peripherals, and this wireless mouse offers great features for the price. It has a narrow-body form factor and a really good optical sensor, and you won’t have to deal with annoying cables cluttering up your desk. It even has a compartment to stow the dongle in the mouse itself, which makes it great for people on the go.

The Pulsefire Surge has been one of our favorite gaming mice for a while now. It’s straightforward, unassuming, does everything you need a wired gaming mouse to do, and doesn’t bog you down with too many buttons. Plus, it has lights.The Pulsefire Core is also a great option for $14 less.

This bundle isn’t a huge discount, but it does give you a free 128-GB MicroSD card, which is an essential accessory for Switch. The Nintendo Switch has a lot of great games, and the Switch Lite is a cheaper way to play. The only downside is that it’s only made for handheld play. It cannot broadcast to a TV and has no built-in Joy-Cons for motion control. You’ll have to buy them separately if motion control is needed for a game.

SteelSeries Arctis 1

Photograph: Steelseries

This is our top gaming headset under $50, and at $35 it’s a steal. It works on any system and is comfier and sounds better than many expensive headsets. It does have a more plastic build than higher-end Arctis models, but it’s still comfy and works great.

JBL’s Quantum 800s have some of the best spatial surround sound you’ll find, which makes them great for those who spend a lot of time playing first-person shooters or other massive online games, where hearing someone behind you can mean the difference between life and death. The Quantum 800 features active noise cancelling, but the Quantum 600 is also pretty affordable, and the Quantum 300 is a solid alternative if you’re looking for a wired headset.

It’s not the fanciest headset out there, but it sure is reliable. Logitech’s G935 is soft and cushiony, and thanks to its internal surround system, it does a great job of bringing in-game environments to life.

Snappy Cherry MX switches and USB pass-through to charge your devices make the Corsair K95 a solid pick for gamers. It’s the exact opposite of a TKL, or 60 percent, keyboard like the one below. If you want all the media buttons and all the bells and whistles that you can get on a modern keyboard, this is it.

Razer Huntsman Mini Keyboard

Photograph: Razer

This cute little keyboard is our pick for the best mini keyboard. It fits on desks of all shapes and sizes, yet it absolutely crushes most off-the-shelf boards. It has backlit keys and double-braided cables, and it leaves plenty of real estate for an oversize mousepad.

This is our favorite gaming laptop. A 6-Core Intel i7 with an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 graphics card makes last year’s Razor Blade a capable gaming laptop for all but the most intense games. For $1,000, it’s also a good pick for students who are looking for a more powerful computer for coding, or for video or music work.

Dell’s gaming brand makes some of the best gaming laptops and PCs, and the M15 is no different. It’s slim and powerful, and it has an eye-popping screen with a 240-Hz refresh rate. The only catch, historically, has been the price. We reviewed a similar version here and put it on our list of the Best Gaming Laptops, and we think this is a good deal for enthusiasts.

Outdoor and Fitness Deals

Whether you’re building an emergency kit or just stocking up for this year’s camping season, there’s a ton of good outdoor gear for sale right now.

LifeStraw

Photograph: Amazon

If you don’t already have one or several, a Lifestraw is a good thing to stow away in your emergency supplies kit. It’ll filter more than 99.99 percent of bacteria (including E. coli and salmonella), parasites (including Giardia and Cryptosporidium), and microplastics from 1,000 gallons of water, as well as sand, dirt, and other impurities that cause cloudiness.

This is the best all-around fitness watch we’ve tested. There aren’t many affordable smartwatches that come with GPS, which is why we like the Fitbit Charge 4. It’ll also track your sleep habits if you wear it to bed, letting you know how well you’re catching z’s. Senior associate editor Adrienne So gave it an 8/10, WIRED Recommends in her full review at the higher price.

Apple Watch Series 6

Photograph: Apple

The Series 6 is the Best Apple Watch and still one of the Best Fitness Trackers and Best Smartwatches. It pairs perfectly with iPhones and is super easy to pair with Strava, Map My Run, and many other wrist-based workout apps.

We love Baggu’s reusable bags. They’re attractive, pack down small, and are infinitely useful in any travel scenario—if you need to make an emergency stop at the grocery store, contain wet or gross clothes, or simply bought too many souvenirs.

WIRED reviewer Matt Jancer swears by these boxers for hikes and climbs—two of his favorite activities. The material is both breathable and moisture-wicking, so you can give it your all outdoors without feeling gross at the end of the day. These get pricier depending on the color you select.

The Traeger Pro Series 575 is a capable smoker. It lacks some of the bells and whistles of the more expensive Ironwood series (like “supersmoke”), but you’d be hard pressed to find another smoker this good at this price.

If you’d like to check more deals yourself, here are some links to sales going on this week.

Evolution cost of iRobot Roomba: i7+ vs S9+

Robotic vacuum cleaners have long ceased to be an expensive toy for pets who love to ride around the apartment on it. Only 10 years ago, most models basically cleaned hard floors of debris and dust. At the same time, low suction power limited the cleaning of even low-pile carpets. In addition, robots often became entangled in wires on the floor and could hardly overcome even low obstacles. Usually, battery life provided cleaning the medium-sized room. The lack of automatic following to the base for recharging and starting from the breakpoint required its manual carrying. The lack of effective sensors and navigation required the use of virtual walls or magnetic boundary tapes. Of course, all these restrictions significantly reduced the level of cleaning automation. In recent years, developers have successfully solved most of these problems, turning the robot vacuum cleaner into an effective automatic cleaning device. Of course, depending on the price, their functionality varies in a very wide range. But even budget modern models, as a rule, support automatic charging, several modes, provide cleaning the several rooms for one charge, and may not very carefully clean a carpet with a low pile at a suction power of about 20-25 AW.

Introduction

Of course, the functionality and capabilities of premium models are radically different. A few years ago, the American Neato Robotics introduced the Neato Botvac Connected with increased power. The company did not indicate the exact suction power, but some experts indicate in their reviews up to 120 AW. But this value seems too optimistic. Test results showed around 60 AW that much more believable. However, this power has already ensured a sufficiently high cleaning quality even for medium-pile carpets. But already at CES 2018, LG introduced the flagship LG CordZero R9 Master with real suction power up to 120 AW in turbo mode. This model already cleans carpets even with long pile.

Of course, other specs have also radically improved. The list of improvements included a significant increase in runtime, 3D navigation, scheduled cleaning, control via a smartphone, mapping, mopping on some models, etс. Like any segment of consumer electronics, the market for modern robot vacuums has several distinct leaders. As a rule, their innovative models most fully demonstrate trends. As known, the American iRobot introduced in 2002 the first Roomba robot. Since then, the company has confidently dominated the premium segment, periodically introducing innovative models. In September 2018, iRobot introduced a new premium Roomba i7/i7+ with updated brush extractors and imprint navigation with iRobot Home app. But, of course, the self-emptying Clean Base with Automatic Dirt Disposal function became its main sensation. However, the company did not stop there, and in may 2019, introduced a much more powerful D-shaped Roomba s9/s9+ with automatic dirt disposal, and with innovative Imprint Link technology for synchronization with the Braava Jet M6 mop.

Innovations

In fact, the i7 and s9 are positioned as the new generation of Roomba vacuums with a revolutionary extension of automation level. The list of main innovation includes self-emptying Clean Base, Imprint Smart Mapping and Imprint Link technologies, and significantly improved Smart-functions, including Keep Out Zones. As known, a plus in the model name indicates the presence of Clean Base in the package. Traditionally, the compact design of any robot vacuum significantly limits developers when choosing bin. Usually, it holds about 400 ml. As a result, the user is forced to manually empty it after every few cleaning cycles. Of course, this aspect significantly reduces, for example, the pros of scheduled cleaning, and the overall level of automation. Auto-emptying docking station uses a much more capacious bin. Its capacity is approximately 30 times greater than the bin capacity in the robot. After cleaning, Clean Base automatically sucks the debris and dust from Roomba.

The replacement frequency of a significantly more capacious AllergenLock Dirt Disposal Bag usually does not exceed once a month.

Unfortunately, i7+ Clean Base is not suitable for s9+.

Moreover, the s9 Clean Base has a more high-efficiency hypoallergenic filtration system. Of course, Braava is primarily intended for mopping the hard floors, including parquet, tile, linoleum, etc. Nevertheless, the robot has a panel for dry cleaning, for example, a low-pile carpet. Its surface is different from the wet wipe panel, which is shown on the right in the photo.

Unfortunately, the use of Braava reduces the overall automation level due to the need to manually pour water and install the appropriate panel or wipes.

Similarities

- auto charging; - control options with voice commands and the iRobot Home app; - camera-based navigation (vSLAM).

- Clean Base charging station; - Imprint Link for synchronization with Braava mopping robots; - both models can use local controls, including Clean, Home and Spot clean buttons on the faceplate, voice or mobile app; - Carpet Boost (Power Boost) function; - navigation and mapping use iAdapt 3.0 and innovative Imprint Smart Mapping. But iAdapt algorithms of s9 are more efficient in terms of choosing the cleaning passes. Imprint Smart Mapping makes a complete map and assigns a name to each room using the mobile app. In the future, the user can give direct commands, for example, “Alexa, have Roomba clean the bedroom.”

- after update on the iRobot Home app in the summer 2019, both models support Keep Out Zones. This option radically simplifies the problem of blocking cleaning zones. Now, a rectangle drawn in the app, replaces Virtual Walls or magnetic tape.

Differences

1.D-shaped design The company developed a design for s9 in the style of Neato models. As known, D-shaped robots more efficiently clean corners and along baseboards. In addition, s9 uses a new five-beam side brush with shorter brushes (Perfect Edge technology), and 30% longer central brushless rollers for increased performance.

In addition, a slower spinning side brush of s9 provides more thorough cleaning. 2. Suction power Suction power is the main difference between the models. The company does not indicate their suction power, but according to its data, s9 is about 4 times more powerful than i7 (10x suction vs 40x suction compared to Roomba 600 series.) But numerous tests have demonstrated s7 suction power of 30 AW or higher. Accordingly, s9 should provide approximately 120 AW. Thus, it catches up with the previous champion LG CordZero R9 Master with suction power up to 120 AW in turbo mode. 3. Runtime The company indicates 120 minutes of runtime for both models. Unfortunately, testing only showed about 80 to 90 minutes for i7+ when cleaning parquet/carpet. In contrast, S9+ confirmed claimed 120 minutes. This increase is due to the expansion of settings. In particular, the S9+ supports three engine speed modes, including low / high / auto. In the latter mode, the robot selects the optimal mode depending on the Dirt Detect data and floor type. As a result, an increase in runtime extends the cleaning area (about 400 to 500 square foot.) Moreover, smart charging reduces its duration, providing a charge level only until the cleaning end, instead of 100%.

Testing and price

Testing showed the following results: - s9 overcomes obstacles perfectly, easily riding up even on the carpet with pile height is almost 1.2 in; - the quality of its cleaning claims did not cause. The robot easily picked up even small grains of rice on the carpet; - the D-shape allowed the robot to clean the surface almost close to the furniture; - the noise level during cleaning did not exceed 50 dB, which is an excellent result. It increased to 60 dB only on the charging station when emptying bin, but the duration of this process did not exceed several seconds. Moreover, the settings in the app offer a choice of reduced power with minimal noise for night work; - after the end of dry cleaning, the robot returns to the base and activates Braava.

- Braava runtime significantly depends on the selected settings; - Braava jet m6 sprays water from the nozzle on the front panel, then passes through a wetted area of the surface, wiping it with a panel.

In addition, the package contains a small bottle of detergent; - Braava noise level is much less compared to Roomba; - Braava settings contain normal / turbo / reduced power modes and the amount of sprayed liquid. Today the company’s website contains the following offers: - s9+ & Braava jet m6 (6110) - $ 1,260; - s9 & Braava jet m6 Robot Mop Bundle - $ 1,080; - s9+ (9550) - $ 1,000; - i7+ & Braava jet m6 - $ 990; - s9 - $ 900; - i7 & Braava jet m6 - $ 810; - i7+ - $ 700; - i7 - $ 500.

Conclusions

The pros of the new generation over previous models include innovative self-emptying Clean Base (auto-emptying docking station), Imprint Smart Mapping and Imprint Link technologies. S9 is superior to i7 in terms of suction power and runtime, supports Keep Out Zones (smart-analog of Virtual Walls), uses AllergenLock Dirt Disposal Bag and more efficient brushless rollers. Among the cons, most often experts indicate a high price. But today the topicality of this reproach is doubtful. It's unlikely that $ 500 can be considered too high a price for a premium robot vacuum. A set of three devices, including Roomba, Clean Base, and Braava, costing $ 1,260, also does not seem too expensive. In fact, it provides an almost fully automated comprehensive cleaning of a large house. In addition, the lack of mopping function is also often indicated among the cons. Indeed, many modern models support this mode. But this rebuke is also controversial. As a rule, any combi model wins in terms of size and price, but loses in performance, functionality and quality of integrated devices. But storing Braava jet m6 is unlikely to be a problem. At the same time, it works much more efficiently in comparison with the mopping modes in other models. Moreover, being a separate device, Braava can perfectly work separately from Roomba, for example, in another apartment. In general, many experts rightly call i7+ and s9+ one of the best on the market. Probably, the possibilities of s9 + will be redundant for a small apartment. In this case, i7+ is more appropriate. Given the power and runtime, s9+ is well suited for large enough houses, including even with long-pile carpets. This video shows Keep Out Zones for Roomba i7, S9 and Braava M6. Read the full article

iRobot Roomba S9+ Review: Robot Vacuuming Nirvana

I make this pledge to you: Within a few years, every robot vacuum will probably have a self-emptying bin. When iRobot first debuted the Roomba i7+, a self-emptying clean base was the best kind of revelation—both earth-shattering and bone-headedly obvious. If your house gets messy enough to require daily vacuuming, it’s probably too dirty for […]

The most popular LG vacuums

Of course, LG does not require the introduction. Today, models under this brand successfully compete in almost all segments of consumer electronics. Moreover, the company confidently dominates the OLED TVs segment and successfully develops NanoCell technology (an analogue of QLED). Additionally, LG produces some of the best ultra-short throw projectors, providing 100-150-inch projection at a distance of up to 15 cm, dishwashers, washing machines, refrigerators, smartphones, etc. A simplified analysis of the company's assortment demonstrates its dominance in the upper segment of mid-budget models. With the exception of OLED TVs, LG models of this price range most often become the most popular. In addition, the company also annually presents flagships in almost the entire spectrum, confirming its status as one of the leaders in consumer electronics. High innovative level, good quality, reasonable prices and excellent service provide them with excellent competitiveness. Of course, Samsung or Sony are sometimes ahead of LG in innovation, but almost always inferior in price; Huawei or Xiaomi usually win in price, but hopelessly lose in terms of service, etc. As a result, the company has been feeling confident in almost all segments for several decades. Of course, modern high-tech vacuum cleaners are no exception. Today the company offers a huge range of almost any vacuums. The format of this article does not pretend to be their full review, offering only a few of the most popular series.

LG CordZero A9 (powerful cordless handstick vacuums)

This series includes the A9 Master, A9 Petnbed, and A9 Ultimate models.

As known, Dyson, Snark, Kirby, Bissell, and several other well-known companies traditionally occupy very strong positions in the segment of powerful cordless handstick vacuums. However, the long list of reputable competitors did not bother LG managers. CordZero A9 series adequately replenished a wide range of excellent vacuums in this segment.

Key Features

All models use LG's innovative Aeroscience technology. The technology uses centrifugal force, which pushes dust particles from the air vortex to the walls of the cyclone chamber, purifying the air.

All models use the powerful Smart Inverter Motor P9 and the advanced Axial Turbo Cyclone technology. In particular, two cleaning stages increase the power airflow.

This solution provides an additional adjustment of the air flow using sixty ultra-thin spiral blades. As a result, the A9 Master delivers maximum suction power up to 140W in turbo mode, demonstrating excellent cleaning performance. Vacuum cleaners also have a 5 Step Filtration System, which cleans the air from larger particles in steps 1-3, and from finer dust in steps 4-5.

All vacuums use washable filters, which greatly simplifies maintenance.

According to the company, the vacuum cleans the air from particles to 2.5 microns in size. In addition, vacuum cleaners use a Power Drive Nozzle with a rotating roller inside the nozzle.

It raises debris and dust from the surface for better suction. Dual PowerPack is another plus of these vacuums. In fact, the company offers an extra battery to increase Run Time.

Two batteries provide up to 12 minutes in Turbo mode, up to 80 minutes in Normal mode without Power Drive Nozzle, and up to 60 minutes with Power Drive Nozzle. Basically, turbo mode is designed to clean carpets, along walls, and heavy dirt. Moreover, A9 Ultimate uses Power Drive Mop technology with automatic water supply and 3-step water control.

LG robotic vacuums

The growing popularity of robotic vacuums provoked the activity of almost all the leaders in this segment. Of course, they have to compete with iRobot, Anker Innovations, Neato Robotics, Ecovacs Robotics, iLife, etc, which purposefully specialize in the design and manufacture of robotic vacuums. But LG adequately withstands fierce competition by offering competitive models. At CES 2018, LG introduced the flagship CordZero R9 robot vacuum with suction power up to 120W in turbo mode.

Manufacturers of robotic vacuum cleaners must choose the optimal balance between their power, functionality and size. On the one hand, the low profile provides the possibility of cleaning under low-profile furniture, which, of course, is very user friendly. For example, the height of the thinnest DEEBOT SLIM does not exceed 2.2" (5.7 cm). But usually, the height of robotic vacuums varies in the range of 3.5-4 inches (10 cm). Unfortunately, this factor significantly limits engineers in using sufficiently powerful motors. As a result, the suction power of most models does not exceed 2.0 kPa, or approximately a few tens of watts. In principle, it provides relatively high-quality cleaning of a smooth surface, but it is unlikely to be able to clean the carpet well, especially with a high pile. The small dust bin capacity is another problem of most modern models. Today, only iRobot Roomba i7+ with Clean Base (price about $ 1,000) provides unique Automatic Dirt Disposal option. In addition, the company sells Clean Base separately for $ 300 and it's compatible with previous iRobot Roomba models. In fact, this feature extends the level of cleaning automation by eliminating the need to manually empty dustbin.

CordZero R9

LG engineers decided to break the tradition by creating a powerful model to the detriment of its size. According to the results of 2019, CordZero R9 confidently ahead of all in terms of power suction. For comparison, iRobot Roomba i7+ and Xiaomi Roborock S6 provide only 33W, new Neato Botvac Connected - up to 60W, Samsung VR20H9050UW - 30W. Moreover, it has dust bin capacity of 600 ml. But the height and weight of the R9 reach 5.63 inches (14.3 cm) and 8.2 lbs (4.1 kg). In fact, the CordZero R9 is today the best carpet robotic vacuum. The high-speed Smart Inverter Motor creates powerful airflow in the cyclone chambers, purifying the air of dust due to centrifugal force.

Like the CordZero A9, the R9 uses a 5 Step Filtration System and an integrated Power Drive Nozzle. In addition, the robot uses 3D DUAL Eye technology with a 3D camera and a laser sensor for navigation.

Of course, R9 uses all the traditional modes, including zigzag, spot (spiral), and cell-by-cell. In addition, the model has a timer and sound notification, supports control from a smartphone through the LG SmartThinQ app, cleaning schedule, room zoning, self-diagnosis, “Turbo” and “Smart Turbo” modes. The model easily overcomes obstacles up to 2.0 cm. Pros - innovative technologies, including Smart Inverter Motor, Axial Turbo Cyclone, 5 Step Filtration System, 3D Dual Eye, Power Drive Nozzle, DeepThinQ; - very high power; - noise level up to 53 dB; - dust bin capacity 0.6 liters; - 5200 mAh battery provides 60-90 minutes Run time; - good overcoming obstacles; - additional functions, including overview, security, etc. Cons - the price exceeds $ 1,000; - large dimensions and weight.

HOM-BOT Wi-Fi Enabled Turbo+ (CR5765GD)

The company also expanded the popular HOM-BOT SQUARE series with the introduction of Wi-Fi Enabled CR5765GD. Traditionally, companies have manufactured robotic vacuums of round shape. LG engineers have broken this tradition by creating the SQUARE series. An almost rectangular shape provides the most effective cleaning in the corners.

The model costs about $ 1,000, but its smart functionality is fully consistent with this level. Their list includes: - SmartThinQ technology; - Cleaning Diary; - HomeGuard; - HomeView; - SmartDiagnosis; - Magnetic Wall; - 7 Smart Cleaning Modes (Zigzag, Cell-by-Cell, Spot (Spiral), My Space, Turbo, Smart Turbo, Repeat.) Of course, SmartThinQ technology supports control via the app on the smartphone, or using voice commands with the Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa. In addition, the HomeView option can send videos from Hom-Bot Turbo+ to a smartphone, which is often very convenient.

The HomeGuard function automatically detects movement using a motion sensor, captures images and sends it to a smartphone. Thus, the robot simultaneously performs the functions of a housekeeper and guard dog. Of course, some are ironic about the reliability of such protection, because the image will mainly contain the shoes of the attacker. But in the future, it may well qualify for the status of a new concept robotic-guard. Like most modern LG vacuums, the HOM-BOT uses the innovative brushless Smart Inverter Motor based on magnetic power with an unprecedented 10-year warranty. Other specs include: - dust bin capacity - 0.6 liters; - noise level - 60/68 dB (normal / turbo); - height and weight - 3.5 "and 6.6 lbs. Run time of 2330mAh battery reaches approximately 100 min, which provides cleaning of about 150 square meters.

CordZero A9+ Power Drive Mop and LG CordZero ThinQ M9 Robotic Mop

At CES 2020, the company introduced the CordZero A9+ with advanced proprietary Power Drive Mop technology. Advanced automatic water supply system delivers the optimum amount of water to two rapidly rotating mop pads.

The switch allows the user to adjust the water flow for different types of flooring.

M9 Robotic Mop became the first LG robotic vacuum with this feature.

Using Wi-Fi, the owner of R9 and M9 can combine them into a single apartment cleaning system. In this case, after the end of its own cleaning cycle, R9 notifies M9 of areas requiring a mop. Of course, many will be skeptical about using two expensive robotic vacuums for such full cleaning. But this idea may be acceptable for a large apartment, office or for an unlimited budget.

Conclusions

Thus, today the range of the most popular new LG vacuums includes the powerful cordless handstick vacuums CordZero A9 series, the most powerful CordZero R9 robotic vacuum for carpets, Hom-Bot Turbo with an exellent set of smart functions, A9+ with improved Power Drive Mop technology and M9 Robotic Mop. Of course, LG robotic vacuums cost around $ 1,000, but the innovative brushless Smart Inverter Motor with an unprecedented 10-year warranty, the high power suction of the R9, and exellent smart functionality of Hom-Bot Turbo+ meet this price. Of course, Chinese competitors win in price, but hopelessly lose LG in terms of service. Of course, this aspect is especially important for expensive, technically sophisticated devices. This video demonstrates the LG CordZero A9 Ultimate vacuum with Power Drive Mop. Read the full article

The most innovative robotic vacuums of 2019

This review is updated regularly with new models Last updated: 26 September , 2019

Introduction

The robot vacuums segment has been successfully developing for two decades. Of course, the first models were expensive. Besides, they provided only partial automation, requiring control and human intervention due to poor overcoming the obstacles, short runtime, fast dustbin filling, etc. Therefore, initially many people perceived robotic vacuums as a fun toy. But fierce competition radically changed the situation. Companies significantly reduced prices and successfully solved most of the technical problems. Today this device costs several hundred dollars and really provides a high level of automation with sufficiently high-quality cleaning. As a result, modern market offers a huge number of robot vacuums, the price and functionality of which varies in a very wide range. Of course, this factor pleases consumers, but sometimes it complicates the choice. Various TOP-lists greatly simplifies this task. This review offers the most innovative robotic vacuums of 2019, including: - Xiaomi Roborock S6; - iRobot Roomba i7+ (7550); - iLife A9 and iLife A9s; - iClebo Omega O5 (YCR-M07-20W).

Xiaomi Roborock S6

Of course, the Chinese giant Xiaomi Corporation does not require the introduction. Today, this company ranks sixth in the world in terms of smartphone production. But besides smartphones, the company develops and manufactures wonderful robot vacuums. In 2019, the company introduced the new Xiaomi Roborock S6 model.

Today, this novelty can reasonably claim the status of one of the most innovative robots. And considering the low price for this class at $ 650 and excellent specs, it may well be on the list of Best Sellers. Innovations: - Upgraded Rock Navigation Path Planning uses the principle of long edge priority and proximity, reducing cleaning time by 20% due to route optimization; - Selective Room Cleaning provides selection and scheduled cleans for single and multiple rooms, or for entire home; - Advanced Noise Reduction reduces noise by 50% vs Roborock S5 and does not exceed 40 dB.

In addition, the robot creates virtual no-go zone and barriers with the help of advanced Map Management 3.0.

The company significantly improved the lidar for expansion of smart options. New model uses three CPU, including Texas Instruments, MCU, and STMicroelectronics, and data from 14 sensors.

In addition, the S6 automatically adjusts the intensity of the water supply from the nozzle-tank, optimizing the Mopping mode. Besides, the robot uses a new advanced turbo brush.

Moreover, the model supports APP & Alexa Voice Control, provides good cross (0.8in climbing), 2000Pa of suction power, which is enough to clean even deep inside carpet fibres, and runtime up to 3 hours in Quiet mode.

iRobot Roomba i7+ (7550)

Of course, the segment leader also did not stand aside in 2019, introducing the new Roomba i7+ model. The company focused on a radical expansion of functionality by developing Clean Base with the innovative Automatic Dirt Disposal option. Otherwise, the new product does not differ from the iRobot 980, including an almost identical design.

Besides, a list of their differences includes several aspects. Firstly, the i7+ is lighter than the previous model (7.4 vs 8.7 pounds) and smaller in diameter (13.3 x 13.3 x 3.6 inches vs 13.9 x 13.9 x 3.6 inches). Secondly, now its dustbin is washable. But the height of new Clean Base reaches 19 inches. Moreover, it additionally requires 5 inches of free space to open the top lid, limiting its placement, for example, under a shelf. New Clean Base uses its own vacuum, which suctions out debris from dustbin into a sealable bag with a capacity of about 30-bins worth of dirt.

Today, the company sells Clean Base separately for $ 300, enabling iRobot 980 owners to expand its functionality to i7+. During testing, the i7+ picked up 10 grams of dirt per run and cleaned a surface of about 5000 sq ft without collisions. Model uses a simple app to start, stop and cleaning schedules. Moreover, innovative Smart Maps provides mapping the area for defining cleaning zones in the future. Finally, connecting to Alexa or Google Home provides voice control. In fact, the Automatic Dirt Disposal option extends the level of cleaning automation by eliminating the unpleasant function of regular dustbin emptying manually. Today its price does not exceed $ 1,000, which is acceptable for an innovative model from a recognized brand.

iLife A9 and iLife A9s

At CES 2019, iLife also introduced a new series that includes A9 and A9s models.

Traditionally, the series uses a set of innovative solutions, including Gen 2 PanoView Navigation Technology, 2-in-1 self-adjustable floating roller brush, Electrowall Technology for creating virtual barriers, i-Voice Assistant, Cellular Dustbin, etc. At the same time, Cellular Dustbin may well claim the status of new technology.

Electrowall Technology traditionally uses a separate unit that generates a limiting infrared beam.

The improved PanoView Navigation algorithm (CV-SLAM) in combination with the built-in camera provides a panoramic view and the creating the optimal moving route. In addition, combined with 14 traditional sensors, it provides excellent robot overcoming obstacles. A low profile of only 3 inches ensures cleaning even under low furniture. The battery provides a runtime of about 2 hours with a recharge time of about 5 hours. Company indicates suction power 500Pa / 1000Pa. Today, the iLife A9 costs about $ 280. iLifeA9s differs from iLife A9 in support of Mopping mode. The robot uses an innovative 300 ml module with vibrating wipe and auto water supple for this purpose.

Robot its uses instead of a dustbin in a Mopping mode. A micropump at regular intervals supplies water to microfiber (setting - 3 levels), and its vibration increases the efficiency of floor cleaning. Of course, in this mode, the robot turns off the suction fan using only the side and main brushes. Of course, many are skeptical about the quality of such a wet cleaning, but it is great for moisturizing. Unfortunately, only iLife A9 is available in America today.

iClebo Omega O5 (YCR-M07-20W)

As known, for more than 10 years, Korean Yujin Robot. Co., Ltd has been developing and manufacturing various robots, including the iClebo series of cleaning robots. Today, many experts position iClebo as the main competitor of the famous iRobot. At a lower price, they provide a commensurate functionality, innovative level, and cleaning quality. The company regularly expands the range of its robots, which today includes iClebo Omega, Arte, Pop, etc. In 2018 the company introduced its latest iClebo Omega O5 model with Smart Camera Mapping, Adjustable Suction, Wi-Fi Connection, and Alexa & Google Assistant support.

iClebo O5 uses a powerful brushless motor, the suction power of which is comparable to many traditional hand-held vacuums. As a consequence, the robot successfully cleans even carpets with a pile length of up to 3 centimeters. Moreover, iClebo Omega O5 uses innovative 5-step cleaning.

As a result, iClebo O5 delivers superb performance that reaches 95% by the IEC Standards. The model supports auto, point, turbo and Mopping modes. Unfortunately, the robot does not have a water tank. Therefore, microfiber requires manual wetting. The model can operate in Silent mode with noise level up to 44 dB at minimum suction power. The 5200 mAh battery provides a runtime of 70 min in Turbo and 120 min in Silent modes. Additionally, the robot uses the Smart App Editor, Camera Capturing Technology and Advance Mapping System. Overall, the list of its pros includes relatively low price, high quality cleaning, exelent suction power, long runtime, low noise in Silent mode, cleaning schedule, SLAM navigation, Alexa and Google Assistant compatibility, Wi-Fi connection, and an excellent company reputation. Today, this model can be purchased for less than $ 500.

Conclusions

1. This review covers only the new models. But it does not contain Best Sellers, a list of which mainly depends on price, consumer reviews and the advertising persuasiveness, and the best robotic vacuums in the TOP-lists from the experts. 2. As usual, this year companies offered many innovative models in all price segments with good prospects in the consumer market. For example, iLife A9 for less than $ 300 uses an almost complete set of modern technologies. The powerful iClebo Omega O5, costing less than $ 500, provides quality cleaning at the level of hand-held vacuums. Xiaomi Roborock S6 for $ 650 leads in terms of smart capabilities and the number of innovative solutions. Finally, iRobot Roomba i7+ for $ 1,000 radically expands its automation level, providing Automatic Dirt Disposal with the help of innovative Clean Base. But, of course, the choice of the optimal robot vacuum depends on personal preferences and budget. We sincerely wish you the Right Solution! This video demonstrates testing on carpet of Xiaomi Roborock S6 vs Roborock S5 vs 360 S6. Read the full article
