Budget-priced robot vacuums with advanced features remain something of a novelty. Some earlier Ecovacs models have defied convention with a smattering premium perks, such as app control Google Home and Amazon Alexa integration. The company did this exceptionally well with its Deebot N79S, our current top pick in the budget category. The Deebot 601, which includes all those aforementioned perks, isn't quite as successful. The 601 measures 13.9 by 13.9 by 3.27 inches, with a low enough profile to get beneath most low-clearance furniture and edge its way under cabinets.

Relax while these deals help you during the holidays. If you make a purchase by clicking one of our links, we may earn a small share of the revenue. However, our picks and opinions are independent from USA Today's newsroom and any business incentives. We've already been on the hunt for tons of early Black Friday deals you can get right now from Amazon, Target, L.L.Bean, eBay, and so many other retailers, which is already getting us pumped for the big shopping weekend. This is probably the best time to save on the things you'll need for the holidays, gifts, and maybe something special for yourself.

Jacks of all trades may be a master of none, but do they tend to be cost effective. The Ecovacs Deebot 601 stands as a shinning example. It's a combination robot vacuum and mop that handles both in stride. On average, the 601 picked up a respectable 10.6 grams of dirt per run. While that isn't the highest we've seen, even in this price range, it's the only model that can also act as an automated Swiffer.
