Amazon slashes prices on Ecovacs Deebot robot vacuums for one day only

Amazon made significant price cuts on two Ecovacs Deebot robot vacuums it selected for Deals of the Day. In the past two years, robot vacuums have convinced millions of people of the value of the handy household helpers, including me. I bought an Ecovacs Deebot on sale on Amazon as a family Christmas gift last December, and after just a couple weeks my wife said, “That was the best gift ever.”

The Deebot model I bought lacks the advanced features in the Deebot 601 with App Control Deebot or the Deebot 711 with Smart Navi 2.0. Based on our experiences with an Ecovacs Deebot, however, I’m a fan of the brand.

We set up Fillup (we named our Deebot) in about 5 minutes and put him to work immediately on Christmas Day. Like the models in this sale, our Deebot has Auto, Single Room, and Spot Clean modes. With Single Room mode, I put him in a room, close the door, and walk away. The robovac shuts down when done.

We set the Deebot in Spot Clean mode to work on a tricky, reoccurring carpet stain, after having no luck with a spot cleaner we had tried before. Fillup went to work circling the spot and the immediate circumference. After a few minutes, the stain disappeared, and it hasn’t reappeared.

We start the Deebot in Auto mode to clean our single-floor home. I read the model I bought wasn’t great with carpeting, but we have medium-pile carpeting, and the robot never has trouble cleaning it.

The two Ecovacs Deebots on sale today both work with Amazon Alexa and Google Home. Each model runs for up to 110 minutes per charge and returns to base to recharge automatically. Ecovacs refers to both of the models on sale as “pet-friendly” because they handle pet hair well and emit only low-frequency sounds during operation so dogs won’t freak out.

Whether you’re looking for your first robot vacuum cleaner or shopping for an impressive, sure-to-be-appreciated gift, these two deals can help you save up to $180, but you have to act today.

The iRobot Roomba Combo 10 Max might be the best robot vacuum for carpet
The Roomba Combo 10 Max lifting its mop.

iRobot is gearing up to launch a new robot vacuum, with the Roomba Combo 10 Max arriving in August. The robot makes big upgrades to its docking station, as it can automatically refill, wash, and dry the mopping pad -- making this the first multifunctional dock from iRobot. Best of all, it keeps its predecessors' swinging mop arm design, making it ideal for homes with both carpet and hard floors.

While much of the competition has offered self-cleaning docks for years (including Ecovacs and Roborock), this is a first for Roomba. After a cleaning cycle, the robot vacuum will return to its dock to refill its water tank and recharge its battery. It'll also get its mopping pad washed with water and dried with circulated air, preventing the buildup of mold and odors. You'll even have the option to run a manual self-clean and receive notifications if a deeper clean (or maintenance) is required.

Do you need a regular vacuum if you have a robot vacuum?
The Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra connected to plumbing.

Robot vacuums are a great addition to any home. The best products on the market are capable of vacuuming and mopping without any manual input, giving you an easy way to automate your floor-cleaning needs. Some will even empty their dustbins and wash their mops -- making them shockingly autonomous. But should you still own a regular vacuum if you have a robot vacuum? After all, robot vacuums aren't cheap, and owning both types of products might seem superfluous and expensive.

Unfortunately, robot vacuums are not yet at the point where they can clean your entire home, making it important for all families to hold on to a regular vacuum. Here's a closer look at robot vacuums and why they're not a complete replacement for your upright or cordless vacuum.

This new robot vacuum competes with rivals nearly twice its price
The Yeedi C12 Pro Plus in its dock.

Ecovacs is a popular name in the world of robot vacuums, but its lineup is often remarkably expensive. The X2 Combo, for example, costs $1,600. However, the company has a sub-brand named Yeedi that offers more affordable products, and its new Yeedi C12 Pro Plus looks like a great alternative for frugal shoppers.

The Yeedi C12 Pro Plus is currently available for just $350 ahead of its June 1 launch, though its regular $600 price tag is leagues better than the $1,600 X2 Combo or $1,900 Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra. But despite the lower price tag, Yeedi packed the C12 Pro Plus with impressive features. The robot produces up to 8,000Pa of suction, uses dual comb teeth and an updated roller brush to limit tangles, and runs for up to 300 minutes before needing to recharge at its docking station. Once vacuuming is done, it'll automatically empty its dustbin.
