Save $600 on this robot vacuum and mop to keep your floors sparkling
Prime Day is a great time to get robot vacuums, and the Ecovacs Deebot X2 Omni is one of them - available now for $900 (save $600) even after the sales event. You know that gratifying feeling of coming home to a clean house? With a family of five, that's not a feeling I often get, if at all. Enter the Ecovacs Deebot X2 Omni. Also: The 55+ best Prime Day robot vacuum deals you can still get now I've tested a fair share of robot vacuum and mop combinations, so I quite appreciate the experience of having a robot roaming around my home that picks up crumbs, dust, and everything in between. But the Deebot X2 Omni is one of the top-performing robot vacuum and mop combos I've tried. Ecovacs launched the Deebot X2 Omni as a new flagship robot vacuum and mop combo with a clear edge. After testing it out for several months, I've found room for improvement in some tasks -- largely outweighed by its long list of strengths. The X2 Omni checks all the specs boxes for a high-end robot vacuum and mop. It has 8,000Pa of suction power, higher than the 6,000Pa of the flagship Roborock S8 Pro Ultra. Using artificial intelligence (AI), the robot can detect and avoid objects strewn about the floor, such as socks and charging cables, and has a mopping pad that automatically lifts 15mm when carpets or rugs are detected. Also: The best robot mops you can buy The Omni station charges the robot vacuum and mop and works as a base where it empties its dustbin and self-washes and dries its mop pads. This feature means you only have to worry about keeping the base station's clean water tank filled and its dirty water tank empty, which you must complete every few cleaning cycles. Designed to be a hands-free experience, the base station is also self-cleaning. Running the self-cleaning option in the Ecovacs app will clean the base plate in the station -- the spot where your mops are cleaned that typically sees water and dirt accumulation. This feature is a level above competitors that require users to periodically clean dirty water at the bottom of the docking station. The dust bag holds everything the Deebot X2 sweeps from your floors and only needs replacing about once every six weeks, although your mileage may vary. One of my only gripes is that the clean water tank feels awkward to hold when filled -- it almost feels like it's not built to last. While I initially doubted the tank's engineering, it's proven to work, as it's lasted over months of heavy use. It's a four-liter water tank with a handle to carry it on the lid, held shut by a plastic clip. I used to feel carrying the full tank around would result in the closure failing and four liters of water going everywhere, but this hasn't been the case. The Deebot X2 Omni has several superpowers, starting with its compact package. The squared edges stood out to me as a feature when I unpacked the device, along with how narrow and short it was. At only 12.6 inches wide, it's about 0.3 inches narrower than the Eufy X9 Pro robot vacuum mop, which had been my super mop until the X2 Omni arrived. Although 0.3 inches sounds like a small difference in size, it's proven to be considerable when a robot has to navigate through furniture legs. Case in point: the Eufy X9 Pro uses AI to avoid objects, but whenever I sent it to clean the first floor, it'd get stuck between the kitchen barstools legs. The stools are fairly lightweight, so the robot would drag them around instead of signaling it was stuck. I'd see my kitchen barstools gliding around my floor or randomly find one hanging out by the shoe bench. Also: The best iRobot vacuums This isn't a big deal and is highly subjective, so it's not something I included in my Eufy review; it's not the robot's fault that it's the exact size as the width of the distance between my barstool's legs. But the narrower Deebot X2 Omni can clean under the barstools and figure its way back out, which means no more 'guess where the barstools are today' games. The Deebot X2 is also almost an inch shorter than my Eufy robot vacuum, at 3.7 inches in height. The lower dimensions and narrow build allow the Deebot X2 to clean in places other robots typically can't reach or navigate under. The Deebot X2 leverages Ecovacs' AIVI 3D 2.0 and combines an AI processor with 3D-structured light sensors with dual-laser LiDAR technology. The result is efficient maps that allow the robot to intelligently detect objects during navigation and clean around them. This feature set means you won't have to ensure your floors are free of charging cables, toys, or shoes before sending out the X2. The AI-powered navigation and obstacle avoidance, backed by Ecovacs' proprietary AINA Model, uses visual recognition and reinforcement learning based on sensor information. Also: 6 things to know about robot vacuums before you buy one The Deebot X2's clever technology also makes for a customized cleaning process if that's your thing. The device's AI-powered visual recognition, ability to detect floor type, and historical cleaning logs let the robot infer which room it's cleaning, such as the kitchen, living room, or bedroom, and adjust its suction power and mopping mode. This is where a downside for the X2 Omni became apparent after several consecutive months of use. The Deebot X2 is prone to navigation issues after a while; I'm not sure why. It appears to be a software issue, but it sometimes goes out to clean and returns home a few minutes later, announcing the job is complete. It's like it loses its recorded map. I've found remapping fixes this problem, but it happens again weeks later, so it's a problem that won't be fixed until a firmware update corrects it. Voice control makes everything in my home easier. Countless robot vacuums let you use a third-party virtual assistant for voice control, such as Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, or Siri. Saying, "Alexa, clean the floors" in my house dispatches the Eufy X9 Pro to clean my bedroom and hallway. However, these assistants are limited in the functions they can make the robot perform. Sure, you can dispatch your robot with Alexa or Google, but have you ever been able to tell it to "turn right, move three meters forward, turn left, and clean there"? Also: This robot vacuum connects to your home's water supply for full automation Ecovacs robot vacuums have a built-in voice assistant named YIKO that users can talk with to control the robot directly -- and it works swimmingly. Saying "OK, YIKO" wakes up the voice assistant. If your robot is out cleaning, you can ask it to return and clean the dining room again or give it multiple commands in one sentence without pulling up the app. The Ecovacs Deebot X2 Omni is the company's new flagship robot with all the smart features and a price to match, at $1,500, though $600 off right now thanks to Prime Day. The great thing about this all-in-one, self-emptying, and self-cleaning robot vacuum and mop is that it's not best suited for some circumstances -- it's suited for all. Some mid-range models might be great at mopping but suffer from not having strong or effective suction, making them best suited for homes with hard floors. Others might boast great suction power, okay mopping, and short battery life, making them best for mostly carpeted apartments or small homes. The Deebot X2 Omni is good at all of these things. The biggest challenge in our home is downstairs because it's mostly hardwood and tile with some area rugs -- it's where the dog comes in and out from the yard, where we cook, and where the toddler drops most of the crumbs. Also: Skip the Dyson: This $150 stick vacuum is just as powerful (and can mop, too) The X2 Omni's MSRP of $1,500 compares to $1,600 for the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra (also discounted right now at $650 off). Suppose I were looking for a hands-free robot vacuum and mop suitable for my home's complex needs. In that case, I'd have to choose the Deebot X2 Omni over the Roborock's flagship because the extra features, like the self-cleaning station and stronger suction, set it apart.

The Narwal Freo x Ultra is a powerful and effective vacuum and mop combo at its lowest price ever during Prime Day
When you buy through our links, Business Insider may earn an affiliate commission. Learn more After years of roommates, I recently moved into my own apartment. It's the perfect mix of hardwood, tile, and carpet, an ideal testing ground for a robotic vacuum and mop. I've long relied on Swiffers and, occasionally the best wet-dry vacuum if I really wanted to give my floors a good clean. I've previously had a pretty top-of-the-line robot vacuum with excellent obstacle avoidance, but it fell short of mopping. My main concerns with mopping vacuums were that I would need to be nearby to change out the dirty mop pads, they wouldn't interact well with my carpets, or they just wouldn't mop very effectively. Fortunately, robot vacuums have grown more sophisticated, and the Narwal Freo x Ultra is designed to address all the pain points I've experienced with previous mopping robots. It's a dynamite combination vacuum that lets me mop and vacuum without having to lift a finger and features a self-cleaning base with heated drying, dirt detection technology, scrubbing mop pads that raise for carpets, and powerful cleaning performance. Here, I'll detail my experiences, and where it stands among the best robot vacuums. The setup of most robot vacuums with bases, including the Narwal, is pretty simple. The robot and base are neatly packaged in styrofoam with a plastic bag around the vacuum. To set up the vacuum, I simply had to add on the side brushes. The mopping pads were already installed. Once plugged in, I downloaded the app and proceeded to sync the Narwal to my WiFi to go through the setup and mapping process. It came half-charged, which was more than enough battery life to let it map my floorplan. The first floor plan it created after an exploratory run was pretty basic, but let me identify rooms. There's also a feature to add furniture and denote various floor types in the app (whether you choose tile or wood affects mopping pressure and how much water is applied). Adding furniture to my map didn't seem to influence what the robot avoided or shimmied under, but I was also able to set no-go zones for areas I wanted the robot to completely avoid. Like many modern-day robot vacuums, the Freo has a base. However, I was surprised to find that the all-in-one base station serves primarily for self-cleaning and holding the robot's mopping components, like the dirty water and clean water tanks and cleaning solution. For vacuuming, the dustbin sits onboard the robot and does not empty into the base. Instead, the robot's lid easily lifts off to reveal the dustbin, which holds a disposable 1-liter bag with a filter attached. It also comes with a plastic reusable dustbin container you can use instead of buying dust bag replacements. The robot vacuum uses lidar SLAM technology to create a 360-degree view of your space and can even create a 3D floor plan. Three sensors -- front, edge, and radar positioning -- help it know where it is within your space. The Narwal cleans in a matrix style, starting with the outer edges of a room and cleaning inwards. When it detects carpets, the mop can lift 12 millimeters off the floor to avoid getting your rugs wet. This feature is pretty nifty and found on other premium-build models from Roborock and Ecovacs, whereas some lesser-priced combo vacuums require you to swap out parts for mopping and vacuuming together. The base, though quite large, has a sleek white design that looks modern and, unlike other models I've seen, is not a complete eyesore. There's also a small LCD screen on top of the lid, but I found its symbols and color lights finicky. There were simply too many settings to learn every color and symbol combination, and pressing the go button would set off cleaning the entire floor plan. It's much easier to use the app to control the robot. The lid lifts up to reveal two large clean and dirty water tanks. Tucked into the crevice of the clean water tank is a spot to pop in the included floor cleaner. The vacuum shimmies itself into its slot in the front. There's a removable plastic tray that it hovers over, which is where it injects water to clean the mopping pads. A robot vacuum and mop is supposed to make my life easier and, for the most part, I trusted the Narwal to roam my space unaccompanied. The Narwal moves about my home with purpose, and pretty efficiently, too. When it's running, it's also so quiet. I have no issue working alongside it in the same room. I measured it at 53 decibels, which is about the level of a conversation. Like with any robot vacuum, I still needed to make sure my space was clear of random shoes, dog toys, and charging cords before cleaning. For the most part, if it sensed an obstacle, it would clean up to it, but not try to mow it over. It did run over my pile of cords but did not try to suction them up or pull them along, and didn't get tangled. It also easily navigated across thresholds and had no trouble moving under low spaces like my couch or bed. Within the app, you can denote floor types and define and choose which spaces to clean. The robot can vacuum and mop simultaneously, vacuum then mop, vacuum only, and mop only. You can also customize the number of times it cleans a space, the suction power (quiet, normal, strong, or super powerful), mopping humidity (low, normal, wet) coverage (standard or meticulous), and how often the mop returns to the base to be cleaned. Then, there's also FREO Mind, which is an intelligent assistant that detects heavily soiled areas, creates an efficient cleaning route, and even adjusts mopping humidity according to the weather. Once you set a cycle, the robot will show you the path it's cleaned in real time and create a time log of its work. The app also lets you set schedules and see cleaning history. The app also offers settings for the cleaning base: you can control drying intensity (silent, strong, or smart), whether you want cleaning solution or dustbin bacterial control (a vacuum cleaning cycle that compresses the debris and limits odors), and the status of accessories like the dust bag or water tanks. You can also create multiple maps for multi-level homes, and sync up the robot to Google Assistant and Alexa. While the app is largely robust and helpful, it does feel like I need to click into a lot of different places to adjust settings, such as how often the mop is washed or suction power (though all these features are customizable). Where the Narwal shines is its mopping performance. It uses a rotating scrubbing action that adjusts pressure based on floor type. Most of the time, I'd run the robot in vacuum and mop mode. The trusty little scrubbers left my floors nice and polished. It could sense particularly dirty floors and give them extra attention. I spread orange juice, pasta sauce, BBQ sauce, coffee, honey, and dirt on my tile floor, letting each dry so the stains were set in. The juice, coffee, and dirt were wiped up on the initial passes. It went back for the pasta sauce, where I'd say 95% of it was picked up. It struggled with a clump of BBQ sauce and left a little sticky residue from the honey. I even trusted it to clean up a targeted pet accident -- all wiped up, of course, I just wanted an extra layer of sanitization. In all, solid performance, though I did notice it struggled to clean any stains set into the grout because of the uneven surface of the floor. Most single-room mopping tasks take the robot as little as 20 minutes. However, the first time I chose to run the vacuum on the AI Narwal Freo Mind mode that adjusts cleaning based on the dirt detected, it took almost 3.5 hours to mop and vacuum my kitchen and living space, and it did a full pass of my study four times. During this long clean the battery life lasted a full three hours before needing to charge and resumed cleaning two hours later. It also stopped to wash the mop eight times, and it actually drained the clean water tank, which also required my attention. The Narwal has some pretty powerful specs when it comes to vacuuming, with up to 8,200pa suction power. The robot had no trouble picking up flour, rice, or hair on both carpet and hard floors. It seemed to spit the rice forward a bit but was efficient enough at eventually getting it all up. On the carpet, it left neat little lines of where it had traveled. I couldn't resist taking my Dyson Gen5detect to the hard floor to compare what dust had been taken up on vacuum-only mode... and while the robot got the visible particles, it still left some dust specks, which I was able to see with the light on my Dyson. Leftover debris was much less noticeable when I used the combined vacuum and mop setting. Even though the vacuum does have mop-lifting capabilities, I err on the side of caution and choose to customize my cleaning run to vacuum my carpeted bedroom first, then vacuum and mop the main living area; or do separate runs by day. I set my wool area rug in my living room as a no-go when running a mopping cycle. While vacuuming, the robot struggled on the fringe and displaced the corners of the rug before maneuvering onto the main body and continuing on. Perhaps, the best part of this robot vacuum is how little I have to do. I can run a cycle when I'm out and not worry about the wet parts sitting. Immediately following a cleaning session, the robot starts a heated drying cycle, heating to 104 degrees Fahrenheit to dry the mop heads and eliminate bacteria and odors. It's quiet, and I barely notice it happening, but it does take a long time, either three or five hours, depending on the drying setting. After a vacuuming cycle, the robot will also run an optional 45-minute disinfecting cycle that works to compress the collected dust and stop odors. I haven't noticed any hair or much dust get stuck in the brush roll, but some clumpier dried dust is caked on. I attribute this to the drying cycle. Some long strands of my own hair did wrap around the side brushes, but it wasn't difficult to pull off. At first, I was concerned I would miss the auto-empty feature you find in most robot vacuums these days. Instead, the collected dirt stays onboard. Narwal says the vacuum can hold up to seven weeks of dirt, which is achieved by the aforementioned dirt compression feature, meaning I can go weeks at a time before having to empty the bin. It's definitely quieter, a welcome improvement from the jet-engine sounds that come from the iRobot and Shark vacs I've tried that have auto-emptying bases. About once a week, I'll stop to empty the dirty mop water, the app tells me when the clean water tank is low (it'll also stop running) or the dirty water tank is full. The Narwal also does a decent job of containing any smells from sitting water. About every two or three weeks, I'll pull out the mop tray base to rinse off the collected dirt and dust that accumulates. All the pieces are modular and pretty easy to clean. Reiterating some of the pain points I mentioned above, the Narwal struggled to clean corners. It was also just OK at cleaning edges. By comparison, our team found that the square-shaped Ecovacs Deebot X2 Omni was able to position itself closer for superior edge and corner cleaning. Additionally, while it was capable of cleaning my carpets, the Narwal struggled over the fringe edges and pulled up the corners of the rug. I also thought the drying cycle seemed to take a really long time. Though it wasn't disruptive, it activated as soon as the mopping cycle was run and stayed on for several hours, regardless of whether I spot-cleaned my kitchen or mopped the whole house. Since I prefer to run the carpeted areas separately, I have to remember to do these areas first or wait until the mopping components are dry. The reusable bin also doesn't seem to have a sensor to tell you when the dustbin is full, so you'll want to check it periodically. I haven't filled the bin just yet on my own, however, a testament to its large size. There are also some recurring costs to consider: $30 for a replacement bottle of the cleaning solution, $20 for three dust bag replacements, and $20 for new mop pads. Narwal also offers the Freo x Plus, its entry-level unit that can carry up to seven weeks of debris on board. It skips out on the fancy base and self-cleaning features and has slightly less suction power, but still offers the same smart navigation and mop-lifting features for a reasonable $400. There's also the Narwal Freo, which the x Ultra essentially replaces. It has a smaller dustbin, and about three times less suction power than the Ultra. They share an MSRP, but the original Freo is frequently found on sale. If you're looking for other fully-automatic combo robot vacuums, the Ecovacs Deebot X2 Omni shines with its vacuuming and mopping performance. It has similar features, with the addition of a video manager that lets you see the perspective of the robot cleaning and a compartment in the cleaning base that debris automatically empties into. The Roborock Q Revo is a good midrange option with heated drying, but lesser suction abilities and a lower mop lifting clearance than the Narwal. The Narwal Freo x Ultra is an extremely capable robot and has made cleaning a very hand-off experience. I've previously been reluctant to use mopping robots because of the maintenance and wet parts, but this model's smart design minimizes the upkeep involved in switching between vacuuming and mopping. It's fully lessened my reliance on normal vacuuming while also making my cleaning more regular. With an MSRP of $1,399, there's no avoiding that this is an expensive robot vacuum, but it managed to eliminate most of the pain points I've had with robot vacuums. My highest compliment: I can't wait to keep using it for long-term testing.

Meet the Dyson model I've been using mostly as of late: the Dyson V12 Detect Slim+ Cordless Vacuum Cleaner. For nearly $150 off, you'll love it for its lightweight design. In fact, Dyson claims this to be 24% lighter than the Dyson V15, which I agree with after testing. It's also one of the most ergonomic without losing sight of the modern-day tech features. Love it, love it. Read our full review here. Let this self-emptying vacuum handle the tough cleaning tasks on hard floors and carpets. Pair it with an Alexa device to control it solely through voice commands. With multi-floor mapping and edge-to-edge cleaning, you'll never want to clean any other way. It recharges and resumes automatically and can run for up to 60 days before the dust bin needs to be emptied. However, it does not have a built-in mopping system, so mopping will need to be done by hand or with your favorite Swiffer. When I first unboxed one of Dyson's newest vacuums, its Omni-Glide, I was shocked at how small it was. Sure, stick and cordless vacuums are the new wave, but this was only a few inches taller than my 1.5-year-old niece. That said, the saying "small, but mighty" was certainly in mind when Dyson designed the Omni-Glide. In fact, it's Dyson's slimmest and most maneuverable vacuum for hard floors, featuring the brand's first omnidirectional soft roller cleaner head that literally glides into hard-to-reach places. Read our full review here. The Dyson V15 Detect Cordless Vacuum Cleaner boasts an incredibly similar design that mimics the efficiency and power of the brand's Gen5outsize. It intelligently adapts power based on the amount of debris detected (how cool is that?) What's more, its LCD screen shows total picked-up particles on-screen as you clean. I love how it displays run time to the second, along with a host of other smart features that allow you to clean with ease. Ideal for small spaces, tiling and hardwood floors, this cordless vacuum comes with a heavy Prime Day discount. We love that the top converts into a handheld and that the LCD screen is easy to read. I have been thoroughly impressed with the advanced vacuum cleaner's performance. Its standout features include intense suction power, an easy mopping feature, and a self-emptying docking station. Really, it's the only vacuum you need for every cleaning task in the house (and out) because it serves as a cordless vacuum or a handheld. Plus, with built-in wifi technology, you can connect it to the LG ThinQ app to see when it was last used, run diagnostics, and more. If you're not already impressed, change the head attachment to a new Power Mop Pro to scrub out stains using detergent. Read our full review here. We consider this Shark's best stick vacuum, with its impressive horsepower, ease of handling, HEPA filtration and impressive suction power on hardwood floors and low -- and high-pile carpets. We have high-traffic areas that pile up locks of hair, and I was pleased to see the PowerFins Hairpro dig deep and remove those embedded hairs. Thanks to the long cord attached, it could reach up to 30 feet as I went up and down the stairs. Read our full review here. Do you dogs have the house looking ruff? Try a spin on the Dyson Ball Animal Total Clean Upright Vacuum Cleaner, designed to pick up and detangle pesky pet hair, and save while you're at it. It'll go a long way toward the next bag of dog food. Read our full review here. This one is for all you pet owners out there: The Shark Navigator Lift-Away is amazing to have on hand, especially since it has a self-cleaning brush head. Good for carpets, hardwood and upholstery, we suggest cleaning up on the Prime Day deal price it has attached to it while you can. This was the best Shark upright vacuum we reviewed -- a no-frills option that gets the job done, covering 12.05 inches in width. It features a convenient lever on the handle for adjusting suction power from minimal to maximum. Additionally, when you switch the vacuum on, you can select between hard floor or carpet settings. I appreciate the swivel steering. It's excellent for covering multiple rooms at once with its 25.69-inch cord and holds a significant amount of dirt in the 3XL-capacity dust cup, which empties with ease. It also features an Anti-Allergen Complete Seal with HEPA filtration system for enhanced air quality and allergy relief. Read our full review here. This model demonstrated the most remarkable suction power among all the Shark vacuums we put to the test, and therefore came in as the top Shark vacuum for pet hair that we tested. Its standout feature lies in the three distinct suction power modes. These modes are designed specifically for hardwood floors, as well as low and high-pile carpets. Its two-brush-roll system effectively captures my dog's hair (and, let's be honest, mine, too) without any frustrating tangles or clogs, thanks to the brush's No Hair Wrap feature, which prevents these issues. Plus, it includes odor-neutralizer technology to prevent foul smells. Overall, I highly recommend this vacuum for individuals tasked with cleaning expansive areas, as its corded design ensures it never runs out of battery. While you may need to unplug and replug it as you move between rooms, you won't encounter the frustration of a dead battery cutting your cleaning session short after a mere 15 minutes. Read our full review here. For high-pile carpets and serious stains, grab this Kenmore Vacuum. It's not only good for rugs but floors, too, comes with a variety of upholstery tools and a long cord.

Thankfully, Shark's Matrix Plus 2-in-1 Self-Empty Robot Vacuum and Mop, affectionately dubbed "Winston" in my Google Home, has quickly become my trusted ally; he cleans and will give me updates in any language I choose (I chose UK English, of course). The app and short instructional videos made the setup a breeze. Using precision home mapping, it avoided my no-go zones and knew where to dock after cleaning every last square inch of my floor. Seeing objects up to almost 5 inches away, it can also detect and avoid objects, like my dog. Thanks to its singular side brush and formidable suction power, I'm particularly impressed by its ability to reach corners. It efficiently clears dirt under my floorboard heaters, an area unreachable by my other vacuums, utilizing powerful blasts of air to dislodge hairballs and other disgusting objects. Read our full review here. Unlike many comparable robots, the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra is both a vacuum and mop that cleans the floor efficiently and minimizes missed areas. It has a great obstacle avoidance system and top-notch cleaning capabilities. The app allows you to check where it has cleaned in its mapping system. Though a splurge, its powerful suction and slew of smart features make this a premium grab. This budget-friendly option has a multifunctional cleaning tool that cleans deeper, reaching each edge it encounters, and can be controlled by your smartphone.

Pick up another one of these Roomba deals below, and have your floors cleaned and mops without lifting a finger. Here's what they don't tell you about most Roombas: you don't have to touch them to clean your floors, but you still have to empty them out. That is, unless you pick up this iRobot Roomba i4+ EVO, which allows you to sit on your rump for a full 60 days before you have to empty it out. There's nothing wrong with the classics, like this iRobot Roomba i4 EVO, available at a great price this week on Amazon. Clean up this Prime Day, in more ways than one, with the Roomba i4, all yours for a whopping 48% off this week. This iRobot Roomba j6+ is built like a tank. That's because it's in a war - against pet hair. Schedule as many cleanings as you want per day, and trust in Roomba's patented P.O.O.P. (Pet Owner Official Promise), all for a whopping 38% off today from Amazon. The BLACK+DECKER dustbuster AdvancedClean Handheld Vacuum is one of the most respected handheld models, all because it's lightweight, ergonomic and versatile. With a whopping 97,000 rave reviews and counting, this Amazon best-seller is on one of the best *sucked down* prices. After using the BISSELL AeroSlim Lithium Ion Cordless Handheld Vacuum, we can confidently say it's like holding a feather in your hands. Impressively, it sucks up nearly everything you want to remove from your floor -- debris, dust, crumbs -- and is one of the best affordable options that's discounted even further for Prime Day. If you don't mind the cord, the Dirt Devil Scorpion Quick Flip Corded Handheld Vacuum Cleaner is a great handheld vacuum for the price, without compromising quality. More than 2,000 shoppers purchased it this month alone and it holds a great capacity. This model doesn't just vacuum, it mops -- all for an amazing deal. It leaves your floors dry without streaks and includes enhanced accessory pack with 2 roller brushes, and 2 bottles of Tineco Deodorizing and Cleaning Solution. For the last day of Prime Day, one of the best brands is coming in hot (or should we say dry). The BISSELL CrossWave Floor & Area Rug Cleaner, Wet/Dry Vacuum is one of the best models you can grab, complete with multi-surface cleaning power and a large, two-tank capacity. Shark's best wet-dry vacuum, the MessMaster Portable 15-foot corded vacuum is equipped with versatile extensions, allowing you to assemble it into an extended stick-like vacuum with various attachments for different cleaning needs. Its thoughtful design includes onboard storage for attachments, ensuring you always know where they are and eliminating the frustration of searching through the basement. The efficiency with which it extracts liquid straight from a bucket of water is impressive. In an emergency, it could be invaluable for dealing with basement flooding until you can fully address the situation. This prevents mold and other issues from taking hold. It's important to allow it to air out before transitioning back to cleaning hardwood or carpet messes in a dry state. This precaution ensures optimal performance and durability.

We've zeroed in on the best robotic vacuums and the biggest discounts you can still find right now. Check out these deals! This is arguably the best Prime Day robot vacuum deal you can get right now. Shark's AI Ultra robovac -- which offers impressive suction power, advanced navigation features, and self-emptying functionality -- is currently on sale for $294.99. That's a monstrous $304 discount on a product that not only has 4.2/5 stars on Amazon from over 30,000 happy customers, but also earned an "excellent" rating from PCMag's in-house review team. If you're looking for a reliable home cleaning robot for a reasonable price, look no further! We've tested a ton of different robotic vacuums here at PCMag, and out of all of them, the Ecovacs Deebot X2 Omni is the best one we've ever used.

According to our reviewers, "It lacks some features available on pricier models, including home-mapping abilities, voice controls, and a self-emptying dustbin, but it offers better mopping performance than most other two-in-one robots in this price range." Best of all, it's currently on sale at a $250 dollar discount, which brings the price down to under $150. Get it before the deal disappears! If you're after a robot vacuum that can truly clean your whole house, you need one that's slim and nimble enough to slip underneath your furniture and clean the spots that you can't get to yourself.

The smallest robot vacuum I've ever tested is $80 off after Prime Day
Its simplified design means it lacks AI object detection, has only 2,500Pa of suction power, and leaves something to be desired in its mopping feature. When I unboxed SwitchBot's K10+ robot vacuum to begin testing it, I was immediately struck by its small size. I was expecting small, but with a diameter of only 9.7 inches, the K10+ is smaller than a dinnerplate -- more the size of a round cake pan than a traditional robot vacuum. Also: The 45+ best Prime Day robot vacuum deals: Save on Roomba, Roborock, and more But don't let its size fool you. The SwitchBot Mini Robot Vacuum K10+ may be tiny but has some huge features. This little robot expertly vacuums floors with an increased cleaning coverage, as it can easily fit through chair legs and between furniture, where other robot vacuums can't reach. Compact form factor aside, the SwitchBot K10+ has features you wouldn't expect from a "mini" robot vacuum, like a self-emptying dustbin, which is a popular feature in high-end robot vacuums. The bag inside the base station where the dust is emptied can hold up to 70 days' worth of cleaning. That's four liters of dust, debris, hair, and other things you definitely don't want to touch. I don't even want to see how much dust 70 days' worth of vacuuming produces (but also, I kind of do). Since I already have several SwitchBot devices and had the app on my phone, setting up the robot vacuum was easy. The K10+ is not a replacement for a Roomba that cleans your whole house -- it's designed instead for small homes or apartments, or to be kept in confined areas like a bedroom or office. Because of this, I didn't set up the K10+ to clean my main floor or upstairs -- as I've done with other robot vacuums I've tested -- and instead decided to keep it in our TV room. Our family loves hanging out in the TV room and watching TV while eating popcorn or having impromptu pizza-and-a-movie nights -- this room is adjacent to the kids' playroom and sees a lot of traffic and crumbs. Also: Roomba Combo J7+ review: A 2-in-1 robot vacuum done (almost) right This room is also carpeted, and even though the SwitchBot K10+ is technically a robot vacuum and mop, the mopping feature leaves much to be desired. While K10+ can mop, it does so with disposable mop pads and a removable mopping plate that goes over the brush roller. The mopping feature performs well enough for small areas, but it's not one I'd rely on to mop an entire apartment. You'd have to constantly change the mopping pad during cleaning and would quickly go through the pack of wet cloths included in the box (though I can't see why another brand of cleaning cloths wouldn't work). Also: This budget-friendly hands-free robot vacuum hit its lowest price ever thanks to Prime Day For this reason, I'd use the K10+ more as a robot vacuum than a mop, but it's nice knowing the feature is there if needed -- just don't expect it to scrub out stains from your floors. In line with its compact size, the K10+'s suction power is only 2500Pa, which is significantly less than the market leader's 12,000Pa, but it's also significantly smaller. The suction power on the K10+ is akin to that of the Roborock Q5+, which also has a self-emptying dustbin. Even though it's not built to be the most powerful vacuum on the market, the SwitchBot K10+ has proven itself quite effective at tackling crumbs and dust in my TV room's medium-pile carpet. The K10+ runs each night after the kids clean up their toys and scurry off to bed, leaving behind them evidence of a good time: a layer of colored paper shreds, stickers, snack crumbs, and other debris on the carpet. Also: This flagship Roborock robot vacuum mop is at its lowest price ever this Prime Day Each night, I return to the TV room to a satisfyingly clean carpet, complete with beautiful carpet lines. The SwitchBot K10+ is now available for sale for the price of $300 during Prime Day 2024. For that price, you get a tiny robot vacuum and mop with LiDAR mapping, no-go zones, a self-emptying dustbin, two dust collection bags, a removable mop plate, and a pack of mopping cloths. Also: The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra is $650 off, an all-time low price on Prime Day Because of its limited features, I'd recommend the SwitchBot Mini K10+ for someone looking for a robot vacuum to keep their small home's floors free from dust and debris. Though this can mop in a pinch, I wouldn't rely on the mopping feature to clean an entire apartment. For now, the SwitchBot K10+ has been the perfect addition to my carpeted TV room, and if it's proven itself more than capable of handling three kids' worth of crumbs and debris, I'm sure it can handle almost any task it's given.
