A $350 discount makes this self-empty robot vacuum and mop hard to ignore

Robot vacuums are at their best when they remove friction from your week. Not “deep clean the whole house perfectly,” but keep floors consistently decent so weekends don’t get eaten by chores. The Shark Matrix Plus 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop is $349.99, saving you $350 off the $699.99 compared value. That’s a rare kind […]

Robot vacuums are at their best when they remove friction from your week. Not “deep clean the whole house perfectly,” but keep floors consistently decent so weekends don’t get eaten by chores. The Shark Matrix Plus 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop is $349.99, saving you $350 off the $699.99 compared value. That’s a rare kind of discount because it cuts the price in half on a model that’s built to vacuum, mop, map your home, and empty itself.

This is a 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop with a few features that actually matter in daily use:

The value here is time and consistency. A 2-in-1 robot becomes most useful when you schedule it to hit the high-traffic zones a few times a week. That’s how you stop crumbs, pet hair, and dust from building up into a “Saturday problem.”

The self-empty base is also the difference between “fun for a week” and “actually sticks as a habit.” When a robot needs constant babysitting, people stop using it. When it runs on a schedule and doesn’t demand attention, it becomes part of the background in the best way.

At $349.99, you’re getting a lot of functionality for the price, especially compared to typical pricing for robots that both mop and self-empty.

At $349.99, the Shark Matrix Plus 2-in-1 is a really good value if you want your floors handled automatically: vacuuming plus mopping, mapping, and a self-empty setup that cuts down on maintenance. If you expect it to replace every deep clean, you’ll still be disappointed. But if your goal is to keep floors consistently cleaner with far less effort, this deal is worth jumping on.

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.
