This Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra deal takes $900 off a truly hands-off cleaning setup

If you’re tired of juggling a separate vacuum, mop, and a charging dock that barely does more than hold a plug, this is the kind of upgrade that can change your whole cleaning routine.

If you’re tired of juggling a separate vacuum, mop, and a charging dock that barely does more than hold a plug, this is the kind of upgrade that can change your whole cleaning routine. The Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra sits at the top of the brand’s lineup, pairing serious suction with a fully loaded 8-in-1 RockDock Ultra that handles most of the annoying maintenance for you. At $899.99, you’re finally getting flagship hardware at a price that feels closer to midrange.

The S8 MaxV Ultra is built for whole-home cleaning, not just spot touch-ups. It delivers up to 10,000 Pa of suction, which is a big step up from the usual robot vacuum numbers and helps pull debris out of carpets and along baseboards. The FlexiArm Design side brush is designed to reach deeper into corners and along edges, so you are not left chasing dust bunnies by hand afterward.

On top of vacuuming, it also mops, and the real secret weapon is the 8-in-1 RockDock Ultra. The dock can automatically empty the dustbin, wash and dry the mop pad, refill the clean water tank, and handle charging. Instead of cleaning the cleaner every couple of runs, you can let it work for long stretches with minimal intervention, which is the whole point of buying a premium robot in the first place.

At its usual $1,799.99 comp value, this setup is aimed at people who want the absolute best and are willing to pay for it. Dropping that to $899.99 changes where it sits in the lineup. Now you are looking at a price that overlaps with many midrange robots that do not have nearly the same suction, dock features, or corner-reaching hardware.

You’re essentially paying midrange money for top-tier convenience: stronger cleaning, better edge coverage, and a dock that trims down the amount of babysitting you need to do. If you have pets, kids, or a mix of hard floors and rugs, the combo of high suction, mopping, and automated maintenance means cleaner floors without adding another chore to your week.

If you’ve been holding off on a true “set it and forget it” robot vacuum because the best models felt overpriced, this Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra at $899.99 is exactly the kind of deal to jump on. You get flagship-level cleaning power and a fully featured dock for half the usual comp value, which is about as good as it gets in the robot vacuum world right now.

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.
