By way of the official Govee Amazon storefront, you can still score Prime Day savings on the Table Lamp 2 Pro with a JBL speaker for $124.99 shipped, beating out the brand’s direct website pricing by $25. It’s keeping down from its $180 full price for an unknown time longer, with this rate being continued over from last week’s Prime Day event, beating out all the previous discounts we’ve tracked before it. You’ll be getting a $55 markdown here for the all-time lowest price we have seen to date, with more deals available in the official Amazon storefront here.

The official Baseus Amazon storefront is offering its X1 Pro Wireless Outdoor Dual-Tracking Solar Security Camera for $139.99 shipped with post-Prime savings. Down from $270, discounts only went as low as $144 until Prime Day last week, when it fell to $120 for the first time. If you missed out on that low price, you can score the next-best rate here, slashing $130 from the tag. There’s also a bundle for the camera and a 32GB microSD card for $169.99 shipped.

Whisker has shifted over into its July 4th Litter-Robot Sale with savings on the large array of bundle options for various models. While we’re no longer seeing the standard Litter-Robot EVO getting the Prime Day discount, its 3-year warranty bundle is the next-best price keeping down at $599 shipped. Normally, this bundle (which extends the standard 1-year warranty to three years) would run you $699 at full price, which we first saw drop down to this rate during last week’s Prime Day promotions. It’s continuing now through America’s birthday, giving you $100 savings for the all-time lowest price we have tracked. Head below to browse the full lineup of offers while they last.

Over at Amazon, the official Aiper storefront is currently offering the IrriSense 2 Smart Irrigation System and Multi-Zone Sprinkler down at $369.99 shipped, matching the price we’re seeing direct from the brand’s website. This second-generation model hit the market back in mid-February with a $500 MSRP, though we’ve seen it go as high as $600 at Amazon. The recent Prime Day event saw it drop down to $399 at the start, which fell lower to $350 on the third day, and if you missed out on that deal, you’re getting the next-best price here today with the $130 markdown off the going rate, landing it just $20 above that previous low. You can also find a 2x IrriSense 2 bundle deal at Amazon for $701.10 shipped, too, or other post-Prime Day deals on the brand’s smart pool monitor and robot pool cleaners over in the official Amazon storefront here.

You can score Google Home Speaker at 50% off via Best Buy right now. We are yet to track any straight up discounts on the Google Home Speaker outside of the FREE 6 months of Google Home Premium during the pre-order phase. However, over at Best Buy right now you can knock 50% off the $100 list price with the purchase of an already discounted smart Google TV. 

Just after the band new Google Home Speaker went up for pre-order, Google got in on the early Prime Day deals with a new Amazon all-time low on its latest Google Nest Cam Indoor (Wired, 3rd Gen). That deal is, fortunately, still live for folks who might have missed with two color options still sitting at 30% off the list price. 

While the 2026 Amazon Prime Day is officially over now, not all of the deals are gone. Some deals will stick around early morning today, but the folks at ecobee have informed 9to5Toys that its official Prime Day pricing will remain live through this weekend. 

Running parallel to Amazon’s Prime Day Sale event, Beatbot has its own Prime Day Sale with new low prices on many robot pool cleaners – plus, a bonus sitewide 5% savings code. Of course, plenty of people already know my favorite pick is the newest Sora 70 Robotic Pool Cleaner down at $949.99 shipped, after using the code AFF5 at checkout, beating out Amazon by $50. It’s starting off down from its $1,499 MSRP to $999, which already sets a new low price, but the savings get even better when tacking on the additional $50 savings after using the code, making this more accessible pool cleaner even more affordable. You can get my in-depth hands-on experience of what it’s been up to in my family’s pool here, with the full lineup of deals available below.

Coinciding with the full momentum of Amazon’s Prime Day Sale, Segway has launched its parallel Navimow Prime Day Sale that is giving us the best prices this year on new and legacy robot mowers. Of course, for me, the biggest inclusion is the new X430 Robotic Lawn Mower down at $2,099 shipped, matching the price over at Amazon. This new model goes for $2,499 at full price, which we formerly saw discounted as low as $2,299 since hitting the market back in March. Lately, we’ve only seen free bundled gear, but during this sale (which is lasting into July) you’re able to score a larger-than-ever $400 markdown for the best new price we have tracked. You can get my hands-on take in my review of it here, as well as browse all the other deals below.

Robot pool cleaners are becoming more and more common in pools across America, providing autonomous support for their upkeep while giving back time to owners to enjoy the water – plus, they keep that water swim-ready with regular scheduling. What’s more, swimming season is upon us, with many folks starting the process of opening them now that we’re getting more and more consistent warm weather. Some of the most advanced of these pool cleaning robots on the market come from Beatbot, with premium models like the AquaSense Ultra starting up in the $3,000 range, though the brand recently released its Sora 70 Robotic Pool Cleaner to provide more accessible pricing with top-tier features. Of course, I picked one up to help my parents maintain their pool, both of them now in their elderly years, while also dealing with some physical disabilities. Head below to get a full rundown on mine and their experiences in this hands-on review.

Govee is a popular smart lighting brand that tends to have more reasonable pricing, and the brand is launching three new entries into its popular floor lamp series this morning – the Floor Lamp 3 (as well as a Lite variant) and the Lantern Floor Lamp.

There’s also some shared AI-support, as well as Matter support, and automated circadian rhythm scheduling. Head below to get the full rundown on what you can expect.

What we love

I wanted to automate my lawn watering this year and actually picked one of these up. Turns out I want to operate 8 sprinklers, which means I’d need four of these, which is just too many individual units for me. That said, I did get this hooked up and tested with HomeKit and it was a breeze to water on and off right from the Apple Home app. It gets my stamp of approval.

As the years go on, robots are getting more and more advanced and picking up various tasks across home cleaning, pet care, and lawn mowing, though it is fair to say that there is still room for plenty of growth. While we haven’t quite reached the pinnacle as represented in sci-fi media, we’re certainly getting there rather fast, and Segway’s Navimow X4 series robot lawn mowers are taking the lead as the current leader in the robot mowing race. With my parents in their retirement ages (despite not being able to retire yet), and my mother dealing with spinal disabilities over the last few years, in particular, what better time to test out a premium means to keep both medical accidents from occurring and the HOA off their backs?

In 2024, I began my journey into the world of self-cleaning litter boxes after spending the previous year doing heavy research into the seemingly endless array of brands/models that have flooded the market. At the end of this period, it was Whisker that came out on top, with my partner and me pulling the trigger on buying the Litter-Robot 3 Connect, which happened to be the brand’s first model to include app-based controls. I have since upgraded to the Litter-Robot 4 with the Litter-Hopper attachment, and now, in 2026, I’ve made another upgrade to the newest Litter-Robot 5 Pro (which came out alongside the EVO and standard 5 variations). Head below to get a full in-depth rundown on what you can expect with Whisker’s latest generation of the safest and most popular self-cleaning litter boxes on the market.

Today, ECOVACS – one of our favorite robotic cleaning brands – is unleashing its new newest flagship robot vacuum and mop, the DEEBOT X12 OmniCyclone. 

CES 2026 is in full swing, and we’ve already seen a stunning array of new innovations across a multitude of technologies. Among the many companies revealing their latest upgrades, iGarden, a brand that prides itself on “artful living technology,” has unveiled quite a lineup of new additions, including a trust-centered AI ecosystem, as well as three new flagship products – a pool cleaning robot, an aquatic fitness trainer, and even a new series of robot lawn mowers. Outdoor living has been becoming the latest frontier for smart home integrations in recent years, and iGarden is aiming to position itself at the forefront of this frontier with these next-gen robotics.
