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.

By way of its official Amazon storefront, Mammotion is offering a more affordable means to automate lawncare with its YUKA Mini 700H Robot Lawn Mower down at $699 shipped for the second time ever. Down from an $1,199 full price tag, discounts have mostly kept costs above $849 since it hit the market in early 2025, with some occasional drops lower to $749, and more recently $699 back in March. Now, you’re getting a second-chance opportunity to score it with a 42% markdown off the going rate, saving you $500 as you upgrade to more autonomous lawncare support.

By way of the official roborock Amazon storefront, you can score the brand’s newest Qrevo Curv 2 Flow Robot Vacuum and Mop back at $849.98 shipped, matching in price at the direct website. Down from its $1,000 full price, we last saw this rate appear at the end of March during the Big Spring Sale. This is the third time since its release earlier in the year that we’ve been given a $150 markdown to the all-time lowest tracked price, while other more frequent discounts have kept things above $900. Head below to learn more about it, and be sure to keep your eyes peeled for our upcoming hands-on review. You can also browse all the other cleaner deals the brand has to offer in the official Amazon storefront here.

Through its official Amazon storefront, Birdfy is offering the best rate of 2026 on its Wooden Smart Bird House with an iron guard, inside camera, and solar panel for $139.99 shipped. Down from its $180 full price, we’ve been seeing it keep at and go no lower than $150 since earlier in the year, with things dropping down further here today. Grabbing it now gives you a 22% markdown off the going rate, giving you $40 savings for the best price we have tracked in 2026 so far and the second-lowest overall price – just $10 above the low last seen in December. As alternate options, you can also get the base birdhouse without the solar panel for $109.99 shipped, or get the more advanced dual-camera solar package at $259.99 shipped. There’s also a variety of the brand’s other smart bird feeders, houses, fountains, and more available in the official Birdfy Amazon storefront here.

Amazon is currently offering folks a chance at the ECOVACS WINBOT W2 PRO Omni Portable Window Cleaning Robot for $399 shipped. While it does possess a $700 MSRP elsewhere, since March’s Big Spring Sale we’ve been seeing the price only climbing as high as $500, while discounts have mostly taken the costs down to $450 in 2026, though there have been more recent falls to $404 and then $399 today. You’re looking at a 20% markdown that cuts $101 off the recent going rate (and $301 off the MSRP) for the second-lowest price we have tracked, just $19 above the low we last saw in December during Christmas sales. Head below to learn more about it, while also checking out the brand’s robot floor cleaner deals here.

As part of Anker’s ongoing eufy Mother’s Day Sale on smart security and cleaning devices, for which we have an exclusive sitewide bonus savings code, you can find the brand’s Video Doorbell E340 with an add-on chime down at $132.99 shipped, after using our code 9T52604 at checkout, beating its Amazon pricing by $7. Normally going for $190 at full price, we’ve mostly seen it keep above $150 with discounts, though there have been some drops to $140, as well as a fall to the $130 low back during Black Friday. Today’s deal starts at $140, but our exclusive code knocks an extra $7 off the tag ($57 in total savings) to land at the best price we have tracked aside from the one-time $130 low from November. You can also get the standalone Video Doorbell E340 down at $105 shipped, after using the same above code, or use that code amongst the full Mother’s Day Sale lineup here (with some select models possibly not benefiting from the savings).

Segway currently has an ongoing Navimow Earth Day Sale with up to $349 savings on its robotic lawn mowers, as well as a special Spin-to-Win promotional game that could give you extra savings or even a completely FREE X4 series robot mower. Speaking of the newest series, this sale is offering the Segway Navimow X430 Robotic Lawn Mower down at $2,299 shipped, matching its Amazon storefront pricing. Dropping down from a $2,499 price tag, this model launched at $2,249 back in February while the previous month’s Spring Sale saw it down at this same rate. While you might be able to win a coupon to its lowest price, you’re getting the next-best rate here during this sale that gives you a highly advanced autonomous mower at $200 off, and which has been serving my parents in their older age since going hands-on in my latest review. You can browse the full lineup of this sale’s deals by heading below or heading to the main landing page here.

We’ve still got a bunch of exclusive savings you can score on Anker eufy smart security devices, using our code 9T52604 at checkout, like the latest C31 Wired Indoor/Outdoor Security Camera down at $42 shipped, after using that same code, beating out Amazon by $6. One of the brand’s newer security solutions, it’s been fetching a full $60 price since hitting the market at the tail-end of February, with discounts having only gone as low as $48. Now, with our continuing exclusive sitewide savings code, you’re getting an $18 markdown for the best new price we have tracked, while the camera’s 2-pack option is also dropping to a new low of $77 shipped, after also using the code 9T52604 at checkout, beating out Amazon by $13. There’s also a massive Anker eufy Mother’s Day Sale running right now with deals that get even better after using the above exclusive bonus savings code. Just keep in mind that it may not work for certain select products.

Through its official Amazon storefront, Aiper is currently offering its new IrriSense 2 Smart Irrigation System at $399.99 shipped, matching the price we’re seeing direct from the brand’s website. Down from its $500 MSRP, we’ve been seeing it hold out down at $470 at Amazon since the beginning of April, with two previous Lightning deals to $450 and $440 over the month. Now, you’re looking at a larger-than-ever 20% markdown off the going rate, giving you the latest smart irrigation upgrade for your lawns with $100 savings at the best new price we have tracked.

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?

Anker is currently having a eufy Earth Day Sale with up to $1,000 initial savings on its wide array of security devices and robot cleaners – plus, we’ve secured an exclusive bonus sitewide savings code 9T52604 for our readers that gives you even better deals, though new releases and some select units are excluded. One notable security option to consider for your home is Anker’s eufyCam S3 Pro 2-Cam Solar Security Camera Kit with a 16GB storage hub at $385 shipped, after using the code 9T52604 at checkout, beating out the original sale pricing and its Amazon pricing by $15. Down from its $550 full price, over the last year we’ve mostly seen discounts drop the cost between $440 and $400, while there was a single fall to the $380 low back during July’s Prime Day event. You’re looking at the next-best price aside from that low from nearly nine months ago, with our exclusive code giving you a combined 30% markdown for $165 savings, while giving you an advanced solar-powered security solution. You can also find larger multi-cam kits on the same landing page, or check out the full Earth Day Sale lineup here – but don’t forget to use our exclusive code!

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. 

If you don’t want to shell out the higher bucks for one of Whisker’s newest Litter-Robot models that only released a few months ago, the brand’s official Amazon storefront is offering its Litter-Robot 3 Connect Automatic Self-Cleaning Litter Box at $499 shipped in both white and grey colorways. These legacy models are no longer sold directly from the brand’s website, but through Amazon it starts at $549, which has mostly been discounted down at $499 since November, with only occasional spikes back up. Jumping on this deal not only scores you $50 off the going rate at the best price we have tracked to date, but it also comes in $100 under the starting prices on the newer models/bundles direct from the Whisker website.

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.

Segway is having a very busy morning at CES 2026, as the brand unveiled three new e-bikes (one of which is now open for purchase), while also introducing the world to four of its latest autonomous mowing series – two of which will be opening for pre-orders later this month. These new models have been designed to automate lawn care needs more easily without the need to rely on perimeter wires or antenna reference stations. Navimow has even partnered with RoboSense for select models in this new-generation fleet, integrating solid-state LiDAR tech into the mix, among other innovations. Head below to get a rundown on what you can expect from each of these new series of robots, as well as get upcoming pre-order information for two of them.

Eve is a well known smart home brand around here, with a rather extensive lineup of sensors, outdoor weather stations, light switches, plugs, and a whole lot more, most of which with updated Matter support. At CES 2026, the brand is introducing its very first indoor thermostat to expand its footprint in your home.

Well, it wouldn’t be CES unless there were some new smart autonomous robot helpers on display, and CES 2026 is definitely underway, and there are certainly some new bots on the show floor this year. One of the more compelling models that is looking to help out around the house is LG’s new CLOiD – a robot that can do your laundry, make breakfast, and is designed to effectively double as a smart home butler. 

CES 2026 is about to officially kick-off and the new product reveals are already starting. Next up, we are taking a look at the latest from smart lighting brand Govee with three new flagship products headlined by its most advanced floor lamp yet and a pair of Sky Ceiling Lights, one of which brings “true-to-life sky illumination indoors.”

My wife and I recently moved into a new home, and it came with your standard, no-frills thermostat. In my case, A Honeywell Home ProSeries that has no wifi or smart features of any kind and is as boring-looking as you can get. It’s also not very intuitive, and programming it feels more tedious than it should.

Our previous home had an Ecobee thermostat that we really liked, but it was a much older (and now discontinued) model and not worth the trouble of removing and reinstalling at our new house. Knowing that we wanted another Ecobee, I thought it was be the perfect time to upgrade to Ecobee’s flagship model, the Smart Thermostat Premium.

Black Friday is in full swing and it’s the last chance to upgrade your smart home setup with autonomous cleaning support from Narwal, which is offering massive discounts to record-low prices for its entire lineup – up to 49% off!

We are just touching down quickly this morning to let folks know the new Philips Hue Bridge Pro is finally back in-stock on the official site. While you can find the new Bridge Pro as part of bundles at retailers like Amazon, scoring it on its own has been tough as of late and you can land it right now straight from Philips if you’re quick. 

The Google offers have thus far been the real highlight, or at the very least one of them, for the first week of Black Friday month.

This year’s IFA event in Berlin has already given us many new tech reveals, with a bunch of robotic lawn mowers showcased amongst them, but there’s one that is standing out amongst the crowd with its very unique concept design. Coming from MOVA’s sub-brand, NexLawn, we’ve been introduced to the Master X Series Concept, described as “the first robotic mower with a fully functional mechanical arm.” What’s more, this arm isn’t being planned to limit itself only to mowing-related jobs, with more versatility thanks to interchangeable attachments – including pet interactions too! Head below to learn more about this ambitious robot.

Aqara unveiled the long-awaited update to its Video Doorbell G4 at CES earlier this year, and it’s finally here.
