As the song goes, Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year as we get together with friends and family. If you’re shopping last minute for someone who can use a little helper in the house as much as Santa Claus does, Amazon hooks you up with up to $201 in savings on iRobot’s Roomba 960 and Braava Jet M6.
The Roomba 960 is undoubtedly one of the best Roomba robot vacuums you’ll find in today’s market. It packs a lot of features, dazzles you with its performance, and is priced competitively. Homeowners will appreciate its sheer ability to tackle all kinds of messes and pet parents will get some relief from all that pet hair.
You can forget about having to switch gears from carpet to hard floors as this Roomba robot vacuum efficiently cleans using a patented AeroForce three-stage cleaning system and power-lifting suction that offers five times more air power than any Roomba belonging to the 600 series. You are guaranteed to enjoy an improved suction performance while the device’s dual multi-surface rubber brushes automatically adjust and flex to stay in constant contact with the surface. It also works extra hard on high-traffic areas aided by its Dirt Detect feature while its HEPA filters do a good job at trapping dust and allergens as small as 10 microns, and escorting them to its 0.82-liter dirt bin.
Equipped with iAdapt 2.0 Navigation and vSLAM technology, the Roomba 960 intelligently maps and cleans an entire level of your home regardless of the number of rooms you have and it does so while avoiding obstacles. Programming it to clean and keeping track of its progress is made easy with the iRobot Home app. It is also responsive to voice commands once connected to an Alexa or Google Assistant-enabled device.
Leave the tedious task of vacuuming to the iRobot Roomba 960 while this flagship model is available for as low as $449 instead of the usual $650 on Amazon.
Spotless floors are the ultimate goal, and iRobot’s Braava Jet M6 steps up to achieve that purpose as a robot mop. And with Imprint Link technology it might well be the perfect match for select Roomba models including the 960. Once the Roomba has got the vacuuming out of the way, the Braava Jet M6 swoops in to takes charge of mopping and only returns to its home base to recharge.
The Braava Jet M6 is square in shape to maximize its efficiency in cleaning edges, corners, and hard to reach spaces typical round droids often neglect. Like the Roomba 960, it is packed with the full suite of sensors but with the more advanced iAdapt 3.0 Navigation. You also benefit from vSLAM technology that enables the device to seamlessly rove around your house – steering clear of obstacles and keep-out zones, while its low profile allows it to glide under furniture.
To give you the utmost convenience and control, you are likewise granted access to the iRobot Home app and voice commands with Alexa. And with Imprint Smart Mapping, you’ll not only be able to schedule a clean or review its progress; you’ll now be able to assign it to a particular room. Needles to say, it’s a smart little helper and it only gets smarter with advanced hardware that lets you get the most out of your investment both today and in the future through updates.

What's happened? This week, China's Quality Certification Center released information about a battery (EB-BS04898ABY) with a maximum capacity of 4,855mAh. That's the same capacity as was previously seen in the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, and fans have taken this certification to mean the Galaxy S26 Ultra will not see a capacity increase after all.
The Samsung Galaxy Ultra models have had the same battery capacity for the last five years.
What's happened? Samsung has officially announced the Galaxy Tab S10 Lite, a budget-friendly alternative to the Galaxy Tab S10. The device has been rumored for months, but this is the first time Samsung has officially acknowledged its existence.
The Galaxy Tab S10 Lite will have a 10.9-inch display and a peak brightness of 600 nits — a bit on the lower side, versus the iPad Pro's maximum brightness of 1,600 nits.
