We’re in the last few days of December and it’s about that time of the year when we start drafting a couple of New Year’s resolutions. If you’ve been quite the workaholic and looking for ways to give yourself a break, a robot vacuum is a perpetual little helper that will always care for your floors. Right now, you can even bank on up to $100 worth of savings with Amazon’s holiday deals on two iRobot Roomba models. An additional $50 discount can be applied when approved of an Amazon Rewards Visa card.
Got a furry friend that’s constantly been putting you in a hairy situation? iRobot’s Roomba E5 cleans across all floor types and tackles pet hair as well as ground-in dirt with its power-lifting suction. Its pick-up performance is boosted to deliver five times the air power of any Roomba in the 600 series. You’re in store for more breathable spaces with high-efficiency filters that guarantee 99% of allergens, as tiny as 10 microns, will stay trapped in its detachable dirt bin instead of being blown back out.
If you’re leaning toward affordability, the Roomba 675 is one of iRobot’s budget-friendly vacuums equipped with a three-stage cleaning system to maximize its use on both carpets and hard floors. It features dual multi-surface brushes and an edge-sweeping brush that loosens, lifts, and sucks away small to large debris. Its cleaning head even automatically adjusts its height to always be in close contact with surfaces.
Since robot vacuums were designed to keep up with your busy schedule, the Roomba 675, like the E5, can also be programmed through the iRobot Home app and voice control with Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa. It runs for 90 minutes before it goes back to its charging dock. Rest assured, it finishes the job it started and works extra hard on high-traffic areas with its featured Dirt Detect technology.
Usually listing for $300, you can have a hands-free clean with the iRobot Roomba 675 available for just $200 from Amazon.

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.
