Getting out of bed some mornings might require the help of an army. That challenge might be easier to face with a Ninja coffee maker on your side, though, especially the Ninja Hot and Cold Brewed System. Amazon is about to make getting your hands on this ninja a whole lot easier, offering a 22% discount, from its normal $230 to a much more palatable $180.

The Ninja Hot and Cold Brew Coffee Maker gives you the option of brewing either coffee or tea, in cold and hot brew varieties. True connoisseurs will tell you that cold and hot brewing provide completely different taste profiles, though first thing in the morning, it might be tougher to tell the difference. Six separate brew sizes will ensure you have just enough coffee to meet your needs, whether it’s a small cup for those sunny days or a much larger one for the worst of winter.

A fold-away frother allows you access to cafe-style frothed milk to round out your coffee of choice, and an included thermal carafe helps keep your brew — whatever brew it happens to be — the right temperature longer. Separate baskets for coffee and tea allow easy beverage fixing without accidental intermingling.

Perhaps best of all, there’s no call for pods here; you’ll be able to use loose tea and ground coffee as you see fit. The system will even recognize the individual baskets involved and present options accordingly, so if you’ve filled and slotted the coffee basket, you’ll have access to the full range of coffee choices the device can produce.

The Ninja Hot and Cold Brew Coffee Maker actually made our “Best Last Minute Smart Home Gifts of 2018” list, so whether you’re looking at an early Father’s Day gift, a late Mother’s Day gift, a graduation present, or you’re planning ahead for summer — even if we just got spring started — the Ninja is certainly one to have in your corner. It’s available on Amazon for 22% off normal pricing, going from its normal $230 to $180 for a limited time.

Remember Samsung’s Ballie home robot? It may finally be inching closer to reality
Leaked app wireframes give the strongest hint yet that Samsung's Ballie home robot, first shown at CES 2020, might still be headed toward an actual release.

Samsung's rolling home robot has been the industry's longest-running "will it ever actually ship" joke, and I'll admit I'd mostly given up on it. Now, there's finally a glimmer of hope.

Samsung first unveiled Ballie as a concept at CES 2020. Then, it showed it as a significantly upgraded version four years later. However, the company never confirmed a release date or committed to releasing it at all.

The FCC has already made it much harder for foreign drone makers such as DJI to bring new products into the US. Now, the same crackdown is reaching a machine far more likely to be moving around your living room.

The US government recently added foreign-made advanced robotic devices to the FCC’s Covered List. The announcement appeared focused on humanoids, robot dogs, and industrial machines, but an FCC spokesperson has confirmed to The Verge that robot vacuum cleaners are covered too.

Grass, Lawn, Plant

Robotic lawn mowers can save homeowners hours of manual yard work, but not every model is designed for challenging properties. While many perform well on flat lawns, larger yards with uneven terrain, steep slopes, and multiple mowing zones require a mower built for more demanding conditions.

Developed by GOKO, the consumer robotics brand of Robot++, the GOKO M6 is an industrial-grade 4WD AI-powered robotic lawn mower that brings more than a decade of industrial robotics expertise to residential lawn care. It combines AI-powered four-wheel drive, advanced navigation technologies, and AI QuadVision obstacle detection to tackle complex landscapes with less manual intervention.
