As a continuation of some of the truly eye-opening smart home deals that are floating around — the early Black Friday deals are seemingly endless — Roborock is offering discounted prices on some of its best robotic vacuums. Chief among them, are the Roborock QRevo S and S8Max V Ultra, which we covered in a previous feature, by the way. And did you know that the S8 MaxV Ultra actually took a trip to outer space and survived the descent back, all in working order? This time around, we’re looking at deals on the Roborock Q5 Pro and Q5 Max+. which can save you over 60%. Oh yeah. Let’s take a closer look, shall we?
As if assembled by the accessible, budget-friendly gods, this smart robot vacuum includes a lot of the same features you’d expect in a more expensive, competing model. Allow me to explain. The DuoRoller brush and 5,500 pascals of suction power offer plenty of support for cleaning. But most importantly, the large dustbin and water tank — 770ml — can hold a large quantity of solid and liquid debris. Meaning, while it vacuums and mops, you don’t have to worry about emptying it often. It should be able to cover your entire home, especially with the 240 minutes of nonstop cleaning on a single charge.
Additional features include PreciSense LiDAR navigation, for intelligent maneuvering even around the most cluttered of homes — don’t worry we won’t judge — a multi-directional floating all-rubber brush, and Roborock app controls. Plus, you can control the vacuum with your voice, too, whether through Alexa, Google Home, or Siri. Just think, you get all of that for $140 thanks to this crazy Black Friday deal. Yeah, that’s pretty rad.
What if you want to kick things up a notch but stick with that super juicy low price point? Enter Roborock Q5 Max+ with its hands-free cleaning support for up to seven weeks. Yes, that translates to you sitting around, relaxing, for up to seven weeks before you have to empty the dock dustbin. The vacuum continues operating out of the comprehensive dock for all of that time. 5,500 pascals of suction power, the DuoRoller brush, 240-minute running time, and PreciSense LiDAR navigation are all worth mentioning. As are the voice controls via most assistants, total app controls, and smart cleaning support with the excellent dock. Isn’t it about time you went hands-free and hassle-free?
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.
