Treat yourself this Valentine’s Day to smart home tech that will make your life so much easier. Amazon is slashing the prices on robot vacuums like the Ecovacs Deebot N79S self-cleaning robot vacuum. Staying on top of all the accumulated pet hair, dust, and allergens in your home can feel like a full-time job. With a handy robot vacuum, you can cut a lot of the unnecessary hassle of domestic upkeep.

Roomba is the more popular brand, while iRobot has a hefty price tag attached. The Buy at Amazon  is a more affordable robot vacuum that packs the same smart technology and suction capability that make robot vacuums appealing. Normally priced at $300, it is now marked down 40 percent from Amazon, bringing the price to just $180.

What makes the Ecovacs special is that it can be controlled via a remote control or with voice commands when connected to Alexa or Google Home. It can also be customized to fit your schedule, so it can clean while you’re at work with the Ecovacs App schedule feature. Use its cleaning modes – auto-clean mode, single room, spot mode, and edge mode, to help keep your space clean. When the robot vacuum runs out of juice it will find its way back to its charging station to self-charge. And its sensors prevent it from falling down any stairs in your home.

This handy device also comes with a 1-year warranty within the United States. If you’re ready to ditch the cables and extra chores, get yourself the Ecovacs Deebot robot vacuum while supplies last.

Outdoor security cameras are not always practical if you live in an apartment or rental. Drilling into an exterior wall may be off-limits, while pointing a regular indoor camera through a window can create another problem once reflections start showing up after dark.

Baseus is trying to solve both issues with the new PrimeSentinel W1, a $69.99 security camera designed specifically to monitor the outdoors through glass. It mounts directly to a window without drilling and uses a 4K Starlight sensor with an F1.0 aperture for full-color monitoring during the day and at night.

Technology evolves every day, transforming how we live and work. Our devices are becoming more than tools we use. They are increasingly capable companions that help streamline day-to-day routines and spark creative ideas. If you have been waiting for the right moment to upgrade your tech setup, the Discover Samsung Shopping Event offers an opportunity to explore what connected, AI-powered living can look like.

With AI progressing so fast, it's only a matter of time before we start getting AI companions like the ones we used to see in movies like R2-D2, Wall-E, or Baymax. Now, Singapore-based OKA Technology has unveiled Mori, a cute little AI companion that looks less like a conventional home robot and more like someone turned the Pokémon Foongus into a table lamp.

Mori isn't meant to clean your house or control your smart home, but to serve as what OKA calls a "Nature Companion." It uses subtle movements, warm lighting, nature-inspired sounds, and small reactions to make its presence around the house feel calming rather than distracting. Mori can sit quietly while you read, sway along to music, welcome you when you enter a room, or encourage you to slow down for a moment without requiring a screen or a conversation.
