The Ninja Foodi Deluxe is a 9-in-1 device that is capable of combining numerous kitchen accessories into a single, easy-to-clean unit. It’s currently $120 off on Amazon right now, but only for the next 11 hours. If you’re interested in picking it up for only $150, act fast — time is running out. This is one of the single best Prime Day deals so far.

The Ninja Foodi 8-quart, 9-in-1 Deluxe XL Pressure Cooker does more than just cook your food. It can slow cook, air fry, steam, dehydrate, and much more. It can even make yogurt. While many pressure cookers are only designed for cooking for a few people at a time, the large size and capacity of the Ninja Foodi lets you cook for more people at a time. You can even cook multiple dishes at once, depending on what they are.

The Deluxe Reversible Rack allows you to steam and broil food, and the TenderCrisp accessory makes it possible to cook as many as eight chicken breasts at once. You can also make more complicated dishes like lasagna in the Ninja Foodi thanks to its ability to add multiple layers to meals. The Ninja Foodi can even cook up to a seven-pound chicken.

Despite all of the features, the Ninja Foodi Deluxe XL Pressure Cooker is perfectly safe to use. It has a nonstick basket that is dishwasher-safe and coated in ceramic, rather than substances that contain harmful chemicals. It has nine separate cooking functions that make it possible to cook delicious meals in a fraction of the time it would normally take. With New Year’s resolutions just around the corner, the Ninja Foodi can help you whip up delicious, healthy meals that the entire family will enjoy.

If you buy nothing else this Prime Day, buy the Ninja Foodi Deluxe XL Pressure Cooker. The deal is only available until midnight tonight, so roughly 11 hours remain for you to take advantage of this never-before-seen pricing. The $120 off is a discount of 44% and is probably the lowest you’re going to see this device for the rest of the year.

After something else? These are the best Prime Day Ninja deals and the best Prime Day air fryer deals. Once Prime Day deals come to an end, Black Friday air fryers deals soon start to show up on the horizon, so be here to check them out.

Self-emptying robot vacuums: Do you really need one?
The iRobot Roomba i3 Plus dirt disposal unit.

Many robot vacuums are smart enough to automatically clean your home, but most lack the ability to empty their dustbins. That means you’ll still be fussing with a dirty robot vacuum -- which sort of defeats the entire purpose. However, if you step up to a premium model like the iRobot Roomba j7+, you’ll benefit from a device that knows how to empty itself when its dustbin is full.

The capability can even be found on some midrange models, but is a self-emptying robot vacuum necessary? Or should you save the extra cash and opt for an entry-level robot that lacks the feature? Here’s a closer look at the benefits and drawbacks associated with self-emptying robot vacuums.
What is a self-emptying system?
As a robot vacuum cleans, it pulls debris into an interior storage system -- usually a relatively small dustbin. Depending on the size of your home and how dirty the floor is, you may have to empty the dustbin every two or three cleaning cycles.

And while HomeKit is an incredibly secure platform, it's not perfect.

Whenever you give Siri and command or ask it a question, details about the request are sent to Apple. While Apple does its best to hide unique information about you, it still collects contact information, music preferences, smart home usage statistics, and more.
