The robot vacuum deals of Prime Day were amazing, but if you missed them, the good news is that there’s at least one offer that you can still shop right now — the iRobot Roomba j7+ for only $400, following a $400 discount from Amazon on its original price of $800. You don’t want to miss this chance to get this robot vacuum for half-price. Once it’s gone, Black Friday will likely be your next opportunity. If you’re interested, you should add the cleaning device to your cart and proceed with the checkout process immediately.

Why you should buy the iRobot Roomba j7+ robot vacuum

If you want a robot vacuum that will make life much easier for you by taking charge of keeping your floors clean, you can’t go wrong with the iRobot Roomba j7+. It features the brand’s three-stage cleaning system that will be able to pick up all kinds of dirt and debris, and once it’s done, it will return to its Clean Base Automatic Dirt Disposal station that can hold waste for up to 60 days before you need to empty it yourself.

Our guide on how to choose a robot vacuum places great importance on sensors, and the iRobot Roomba j7+ doesn’t disappoint. It’s capable of recognizing and avoiding common objects so it doesn’t bump into things or get tangled up, and it can also create maps of your home so that you’ll be able to give it instructions on rooms to clean and avoid. The robot vacuum will also be able to suggest personalized cleaning schedules after it learns your habits and routines.

There were all kinds of Prime Day deals for robot vacuums, but even with the shopping event long gone, there are some holdover offers that you should check out. One of our favorites is Amazon’s 50% discount for the iRobot Roomba j7+, which slashes its price from $800 to $400. You’re going to get amazing value from this robot vacuum at half-price, but if you want to pocket the $400 in savings, you’re going to have to hurry with the transaction because the bargain may get taken down at any minute.

Amazon cut the price of this Jackery power station to under $200

Jackery Portable Power Station Explorer 300 sits on a table at a camping site next to a drone.

Jackery is one of the most trusted brands for shoppers who are planning to buy from portable power station deals, and here's a bargain from Amazon that you wouldn't want to miss -- the Jackery Explorer 300 for a discounted price of $199, for savings of $80 on its original price of $279. We're not sure how long you've got to take advantage of this limited-time offer though, so you should act like this is its last day. Add the portable power station to your cart and finish the checkout process as soon as you can, as it would be a shame to miss out on this chance to get it at 29% off.

Why you should buy the Jackery Explorer 300 portable power station
The Jackery Explorer 1000 received a rating of 9 out of 10 stars in our review, so we think very highly of its smaller cousin, the Jackery Explorer 300. Like its larger counterpart, it offers a wide variety of ports for charging all kinds of devices, including USB-A, USB-C, AC, and DC ports. You'll be able to recharge the portable power station to its maximum capacity of 293Wh by either plugging it into a wall outlet, connecting it to your car outlet, or using the Jackery SolarSaga 100 solar panel, though that's going to be a separate purchase that will cost you $299.

The Marbero M82 Max, a portable power station that's also a solar generator with its own solar panel, is currently the top seller in Amazon's outdoor generators category. That's probably because you can get it for a fantastic price of only $150, following a 25% discount on its original price of $200, making it a cheaper alternative to the Jackery Explorer 300. The $50 in savings is probably drawing the attention of a lot of shoppers, so if you want to take advantage of this limited-time deal, we highly recommend proceeding with the purchase right now as the offer may no longer be there tomorrow.

Why you should buy the Marbero M82 Max solar generator
You should always be ready with a portable power station in case there's an electricity outage in your home, or if you suddenly find yourself on an outdoor adventure where outlets won't be readily available. The Marbero M82 Max is an excellent option for these situations, as it will be able to power and charge all kinds of devices with its 30,000 mAh capacity. There are three ways to recharge the Marbero M82 Max -- plug it into a wall socket, connect it to your car's lighter outlet, or harness the power of the sun with the included 30W solar panel that comes with a built-in smart chip to prevent overloading.

An Amazon Echo Show 8 shows the weather forecast.

If you missed out on the Amazon Echo deals happening around Prime Day, you’re in luck. There are some big savings on Amazon Echoes once again with the Amazon Echo Dot 5 and Amazon Echo Show 8 enjoying huge price cuts. The Amazon Echo Dot 5 is down to $30, while the Echo Show 8 is down to $105. Neither of these prices are the lowest ever, with both slightly cheaper earlier in the year, but these are still dependable price cuts. Here’s a quick look at what both Echoes have to offer and how they can enrich your home life. Think of them as highly accessible entry points to making your home much smarter and more modern.
Amazon Echo Dot (5th gen) -- $30, was $50

The Amazon Echo Dot (5th gen) is the little smart speaker that could. We reviewed the Amazon Echo Dot (5th gen) with Clock, but the one without a clock is still almost as good. Available in three different colors, the Amazon Echo Dot (5th gen) is the best sounding Echo Dot yet, with an improved audio experience over previous models leading to clearer vocals, deeper bass, and more vibrant sound. It’s able to control smart home devices through your voice and you can even set up routines which are triggered through the built-in motion or indoor temperature sensors. On a simpler level, you can just ask the Amazon Echo Dot (5th gen) for the weather today, to play music, or even to tell you a joke. It’s a fun little companion and takes up hardly any room, easily earning its place as one of the best smart speakers.
