If you've been waiting to upgrade your home with the latest gear, this weekend might be the time to do so. From robot vacuums to Instant Pots, there are a number of great sales for connected appliances and kitchen gadgets for Memorial Day this year. As you can imagine, there are quite a lot of them, so we've collected some of the best ones below. Anker's Eufy RoboVac 11S is one of our favorite budget robot vacuums thanks to its slim profile, smart features and affordable price. It doesn't have WiFi, but it does have a remote control.

One of the stars of the working-out-from-home boom is struggling. Peloton won't go quietly though and is making some big changes. The company will replace the CEO and co-founder, John Foley, who will become executive chairman, with former Spotify COO Barry McCarthy reportedly set to step into his shoes. While Foley is sticking around, the company is cutting around 2,800 corporate positions -- these won't include Peloton's instructors who lead its live classes. The company said in a press release about the lay-offs that its "monthly membership will be complimentary for impacted team members for an additional 12 months."

Keeping your home clean, organized and secure can be a chore, and your loved ones likely feel the same way. Fortunately, there are gadgets that can help make it a little easier. We review smart speakers, robotic vacuums and Instant Pots all year long, and for the holiday season we've compiled a list of our recent favorites in the home tech space that will make excellent gifts. And your giftee doesn't have to be tech savvy to use all of them either -- plenty of our recommendations amount to baby steps into the smart home world for those who would rather start off slow. We almost always recommend the multi-purpose Instant Pot in our holiday gift guides and this year is no exception.

Amazon's Prime Day has grown into one of the biggest online shopping holidays of the year, thanks to the tech and retail giant's massive commercial reach (which is also cause for concern).
