Prime Big Deal Days Haven't Started, but These Robot Vacuums Are Already on Sale One of the best things to buy during (or leading up to) sales events is expensive home gadgets. These Roborock robot vacuums are already on markdown. With the changing weather brings many things: colder mornings; changing leaves; and, most important (particularly in this economy), a wave of sale events as the holiday season creeps around the corner. There are plenty of early Prime Day deals already underway, but given that I'm WIRED's resident vacuum tester, it's no surprise vacuum sales caught my eye. Robot vacuums are tested near daily in my house with the help of my constantly sand-covered 4-year-old and litter-tracking cat, and I've changed the lives of multiple friends after persuading them to try a modern robot vacuum .

Dirt detect and customizable cleaning solutions. SmartPlan AI still doesn't identify smaller objects. Roborock's Curv robot vacuum is probably the most attractive robot vacuum I've ever tested. The domed white docking station is attractive, convenient, and compact. It doesn't hurt that Roborock's navigation and cleaning systems are consistently the best among the robot vacuums I've tested.
