Roborock S8 Max Ultra starting clean with dock nearby

Look, if I have to write deal posts all day we might as well have a little fun. What's more fun than jotting down my thoughts? Saving money. Probably not where you thought I was going with that one. Regardless, Roborock has some excellent Black Friday deals floating around which we're going to sort through and highlight. This is part one which means another deal feature is coming. Lucky you. At any rate, let's get into it and just know, now's the best time to save on smart home tech.

Before we dive in, did you know that Roborock actually sent a robot vacuum into the cold reaches of outer space? The vacuum in question was actually the S8MaxV Ultra, the one and same included in the Black Friday deals below. It made it into outer space, remained operational with several features activated, and made it back to Earth all in working order. Pretty impressive. It was an amazing achievement, but perhaps even more amazing, right now, are these deals.

Chamberlain myQ Smart Garage Security Camera -- $27 $50 45% off

While this is ostensibly made for your garage, there's no reason the Chamberlain myQ Smart Garage can't work for other uses as well, especially if you don't need the highest quality of recording. It has an HD camera, which isn't a ton, but it does have an impressive 130-degree field of view. The MyQ also connects through dual-band Wi-Fi for a better connection, and it even has two-way communication, which is impressive for something at this price bracket.

Tesla Powerwall is the best solar, home backup, and EV charging companion
Tesla Powerwall 3 installed on outside of home

Solar power, and having solar panels on your home, is a fantastic way to conserve energy and cut down on power bills, especially if you live somewhere sunny like Florida or California. There's just one glaring issue. When the grid goes down you still lose power because of how it's connected. Your solar panels cannot generate enough energy or keep it stored to keep your power on. So, essentially, your power setup doesn't offer much benefit there, unless you get a home power backup system. More specifically, something like a Tesla Powerwall is a compact home battery that stores energy generated from the grid. That energy is then used as a backup when traditional grid power is unavailable.

To make it even more clear, with a Tesla Powerwall, the power stays on even during a major blackout or outage. It's whole-home backup, too, which means you can power your lights, appliances, electronics, you name it. If you've ever had to throw away an entire refrigerator's worth of spoiled food because of a multi-day outage -- like I have -- you'll certainly appreciate the option to keep your appliances running. But that's not all it can do. The Tesla Powerwall is an excellent companion for Tesla EV owners, creating an entire smart ecosystem of power. Let's explore.
