As part of Amazon’s Labor Day Sale event, you can find ECOVACS latest robot lawn mowers getting up to 33% discounts, like the Goat O1000 LiDAR PRO Robotic Lawn Mower down at $999 shipped.

Down from its $999 full price, this is the more premium of the brand’s two robotic skimmers, which the deal here has been beaten by previous falls to $649 and $599 in past months. You’re getting the third-lowest price tracked here with $300 savings, or you can go for the more budget-friendly iSkim Solar Robotic Pool Skimmer at $339 shipped and also matching the brand’s direct website pricing.

Running alongside the current Segway member EV savings, the brand’s official Navimow Amazon storefront is offering Labor Day deals on a collection of its robot lawn mowers, like my personal favorite, the advanced X430 Robotic Lawn Mower down at $2,249 shipped, which matches the price we’re seeing direct from the brand’s website. It’s carried a $2,499 full price since launching in March, with previous discounts having dropped the cost to $2,299 and $2,099, that latter rate having been from June’s Prime Day event. You’re getting the second-lowest price we have tracked during this sale now, saving you $250 off the going rate and really upgrading your lawn care with a robot that I was highly impressed by in my hands-on review.

You can find even more of the brand’s security deals in the official Amazon storefront here, or on the brand’s direct website sale page here.

Today, ECOVACS is launching its latest addition to its robot cleaning fleet, with the release here bolstering its popular window-focused models. Windows can be quite time-consuming and, depending on the location and size, also hazardous, especially those tall-reaching exteriors. The new WINBOT W2S Pro Omni robot is the latest and most precise means to tackle those needs, complete with edge-to-edge coverage, extended cordless functionality, more intelligent navigation, and a larger array of safety features for worry-free support.

As we reported over at 9to5Google, the new Google Home Speaker is now up for pre-order for the first time starting today. Listings are now live at Best Buy and directly on the official Google Store.

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. The former of these two is taking the mantle of Govee’s latest flagship lighting device, with color reproduction powered by LuminBlend+ color management tech, while the former is bringing along a “first-of-its-kind” Halo Gradient lighting experience to a more lantern-focused form factor. 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.

meross Apple Home 2-Hose Water Timer

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.

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.
