Nobody really likes vacuuming. Even with manually washing dishes you get to hear the pleasant sounds of water running, but vacuuming is overall just loud and time consuming. That’s why we love robot vacuums so much. What we don’t like about robot vacuums, however, is the price, which is why scouring through robot vacuum deals is so critical. Take this one, an early Prime Day deal, that saves you $270 on the Shark AV2501S, dropping its price to $280 from $550. Putting this all into perspective, when we covered the Shark AV2501S’s 2024 Prime Day deal, it was still $412—things are looking a lot better for you this time around. To lock in this great price, simply tap the button below and make your purchase. Otherwise, keep reading to see why we like this vacuum, and what made it special enough for us to recommend it in the past.

The Shark AV2501S has advanced mapping tech, senses and avoid furniture legs, and makes sure to revisit spots from different angles as it goes to get all the dust. When finished with its travels, it automatically returns to its dock, self empties, and sits for charging until it is need to go out and clean again. This dock has a 30-day capacity, too, so vacuuming becomes more of a monthly dumping instead of a weekly or even daily hassle. Plus, unlike a lot of vacuums that kick up small particles as you go, the Shark AV2501S uses HEPA filtration to keep those particles in.

Awhile back, when we took a look at the best robot vacuums for carpets, the Shark AV2501S made the list. The reason it did so was for its fantastic ability to handle pet hair due to its “powerfins.” These powerfins sort of “dig” into your carpet, loosening pet hair and other stuck fluff. When you combine this with the AV2501S’s habit of going front to back, back to front, and side to side on every part of your carpet, you have a really effective method of getting hairs out of the carpet.

Right now you can save $270 on your Shark AV2501S, making it $280 and not the usual $550. It’s also over $130 under the cost it was last year for Prime Day. Despite tariff confusion, despite more inflation, and despite all the other factors that make retailers want to keep prices high. To make sure you get in on this great deal, be sure to tap the button below and order yours 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.
