As much as we love our furry friends, keeping areas in the house clean from their hair can be a tedious task. Fortunately, there are a multitude of robotic helpers available to rescue us in these hairy situations. A solid option would be the top-rated iRobot Roomba 960, and it’s currently

discounted on Amazon

and

Walmart

. Both retail giants are offering this model for only $499, a hefty 29% off its usual $699 price tag.

This bot combines the power of multiple technologies to effectively pull in embedded dirt, debris, and pet hair from wherever it hides. Its patented AeroForce Three-Stage Cleaning System uses tangle-free multi-surface rubber brushes and a power-lifting suction with five times more power than the older models, ensuring improved performance on both carpets and hard floors. It also has a high-efficiency filter rated to capture 99% of particles as small as 10 microns. With a low profile and an Auto-Adjust cleaning head, the robot can easily vacuum areas under furniture and adapt its height depending on the floor surface it’s cleaning.

Just like most Roomba models, the Roomba 960 boasts an Advanced Dirt Detect Technology that can identify concentrated areas of dirt. This allows the robot to provide deeper cleaning on spots that need it the most. It also comes with an iAdapt 2.0 Navigation technology with Visual Localization which helps navigate your home efficiently and keep track of its location, and smart sensors for guidance around furniture and against bumps and drop-offs. The robot can run continuously for up to 75 minutes and will recharge automatically through the dock until cleaning is complete.

Setting cleaning schedules and customized patterns are possible, all thanks to the iRobot Home app. This app lets you view clean reports, access tips, and more. You can also connect the robot to any Alexa or Google Assistant-enabled device to activate voice control.

The iRobot Roomba 960 hits the sweet spot between performance and affordability. We even tagged it as our favorite Roomba model for 2019. From dust bunnies and matted balls of fur to dust, allergens, and pollens, it does a great job of tackling a variety of messes. Order it today on

Amazon

or

Walmart

for a discounted price of $499.

We gave the Hisense U8N top marks, and it’s $450 off right now!
Hisense U8N

The Cyber Monday deals are trickling out, with so many good offers available already! We’ve been seeing a lot of best Amazon deals on everything from soundbars and Bluetooth speakers to 4K TVs. As a matter of fact, one of our favorite offers of the day comes to us from Hisense. When you purchase the 55-inch Hisense U8N Series 4K TV on Amazon, you’ll only end up paying $650. At full price, this model sells for $1,099. We tested this TV earlier in the year, and our editor at large, Caleb Denison, proclaimed the following: “The Hisense U8N is one of the best TVs of the year — especially if you don't want to pay OLED prices.”

Why you should buy the Hisense U8N Series
Hisense has garnered quite a reputation in the world of TVs over the last few years. Praised for a budget-friendly lineup that looks and sounds like QLED and OLED sets. By the way, those cost double (or triple) the price. The Hisense U8N Series is one of the brand's 2024 premium TVs. It utilizes mini-LED lighting combined with quantum dots to deliver breathtaking picture quality.

The 9th Gen iPad with Apple’s A13 Bionic chip is only $200 today

The Apple iPad has been a popular holiday item for several years now. With Cyber Monday officially here, we’re excited to see so many great iPad deals available. That leads us to this offer we found: For a limited time, when you purchase the 9th Gen iPad with A13 Bionic, you’ll only pay $200. At full price, this iPad sells for $480. We had the opportunity to test this model a while back, and our iPad expert had the following to say: “The iPad 10.2 (2021) is the best iPad you can buy today. There are few discernible upgrades over the previous two generations, but if you don't have one, this is the one to get. If you do, there's no point in upgrading.” If that's not a solid argument for grabbing this 9th Gen iPad deal, I don't know what is.

Why you should buy the 9th Gen iPad
Even though the A14 version of the iPad was released back in 2022, it’s not unusual for Apple to still sell the A13 version brand-new. And then, when holidays like Cyber Monday and Christmas roll around, the company knocks a few extra dollars off this 2021 device. Don’t be fooled either: the Apple A13 Bionic is an incredible chip that delivers a buttery smooth iPadOS experience, complete with fast load times, animations, and excellent media playback.
