Eufy’s new X9 Pro Robovac offers automated mopping and vacuuming for less than $1,000

There’s been no shortage of robot vacuum launches of late, and it seems Eufy isn’t going to miss out on the fun. Following hot on the heels of Ecovacs and Roborock, Eufy is releasing the X9 Pro Robovac on July 29. But unlike the competition, the X9 Pro will offer mopping and vacuuming skills for less than $1,000.

The X9 Pro will be available for just $899, yet offers many of the features found on products that sell for twice its price. This includes 5,500 Pa of suction, the ability to raise its mop a full 12mm when traveling on carpet, and a base station that can clean and dry the robot after each cycle. That’s an impressive list of features, especially when you consider the price tag.

Many of these features are due to the new Hands-Free MopMaster system, which allows the robot to automatically detect the type of surface it’s traveling on and adjust its cleaning methods as necessary. According to Eufy, the X9 Pro is powerful enough to mop up crayon marks, food stains, and everything in-between. It’ll also use Eufy’s AI.See feature to navigate around your home and avoid any obstacles in its path.

If you’re looking to pick up the X9 Pro, you can reserve a unit for $10 today and receive a coupon for $180 when the unit goes on sale in July.

The X9 Pro Robovac wasn’t the only smart home news revealed by Eufy during its RE Charge event, as the company also announced that the HomeBase 3 is now fully compatible with the Video Doorbell Dual and Video Smart Lock. HomeBase 3 serves as the hub for a variety of Eufy products, and it’s great to see its features expanded to two of the most popular products in the Eufy catalog.

Further HomeBase 3 support is expected to roll out throughout 2023, with more floodlights, indoor cameras, and outdoor cameras gaining compatibility in the coming months. For more details on HomeBase 3 support, check out the official website.

Save $300 on this LG WashTower washer and dryer bundle today

lg washtower deal june 2023 washer and dryer bundle lifestyle

It's tall, it's thin, it washes and dries clothes, and it looks like it belongs in the backdrop of a Wes Anderson film. It's the front-loading LG WashTower, which is designed to save space in your home and be one of the most convenient laundry tools you've had in years. It's on sale right now over at LG, for $300 off its usual price of $2,199. So, if you're looking for a way to completely redesign your laundry room (and, say, make room for your art project) or are wishing to bring laundry into a more convenient location altogether, consider picking up an LG WashTower for just $1,899 while this sale lasts.

Why you should buy the LG WashTower
"Oh, just 27 by 30 and 3/8ths." That's the phrase you should practice for when people ask you how much floor space the LG WashTower is taking up in your home. To compare, a quick session with my washer and dryer combo revealed it was three elbow-to-fingertip lengths long, or approximately 54 inches wide, roughly double that of the LG WashTower. Much like towers in big cities, there is your main draw and crowd pleaser with the LG WashTower, it's just super spatially consistent. Though, do note, when you open the door fully that 30 3/8" will become 55".

It also means there are a lot of choices to wade through -- and not all of them are worth considering. If you need some help with your search, here’s how to choose a robot vacuum in 2023.

Amazon flash sale gets you this Roomba robot vacuum for $179

iRobot Roomba 694 at Best Buy - WiFi connected robot vacuum

Like Band-Aid with adhesive bandages and Kleenix with facial tissues, Roomba has become synonymous with robot vacuum. They've effectively made every other brand seem like a knockoff. That kind of popularity usually comes with a premium price tag, but thankfully Amazon isn't about a nice Roomba deal. Right now you can but the cheapest model, the iRobot Roomba 694, so just $179 after a $96 discount.

Why you should buy the iRobot Roomba 694 robot vacuum
The iRobot Roomba 694 is considered an entry-level model, but it's more than capable of getting the job done when it comes to cleaning your floors. Like the best robot vacuums, it's capable of picking up all the dirt, dust, and debris in your home with the help of its three-stage cleaning system, which features dual multi-surface brushes and an edge-sweeping brush, and its auto-adjust cleaning head that adapts its height depending on where it is in your house. The iRobot Roomba 694 can run for up to 90 minutes, after which it will automatically return to its dock to recharge for the next session.
