Roborock recently announced the release of the S7 Robot Vacuum, the company’s new top-of-the-line mopping-vacuum hybrid machine. And now, as a treat to shoppers, they’re launching the must-have floor cleaner with a special early bird price of $599. That’s $50 off the list price of $649, and the same as what the S7’s predecessor, the Roborock S6, currently costs. It’s a great deal for those who want to take their automated cleaning to the next level.

This robot vacuum was one of our favorite new robot vacuums unveiled at CES 2020, and we were impressed with its new features when we got our hands on Roborock S7 for a thorough review, particularly its sonic mopping capabilities. With this machine, Roborock continues to prove itself to be among the top robot vacuum manufacturers. To get this early bird special, simply click on the button below.

The Roborock S7: sonic mopping and HyperForce vacuuming

A mopping-vacuum hybrid, the Roborock S7 is outfitted with Roborock’s new VibraRise technology. This sonic mopping technology gives the S7’s mopping pad the power to vibrate at 3,000 times per minute, allowing it to aggressively clean tough spots, thus making fewer passes over the same area and cleaning more quickly. The other distinguishing feature of the S7’s VibraRise technology is the ability to retract and apply its mopping pad as needed. Whereas other hybrid robot vacuums require the user to remove the pad when it’s time to vacuum (or attach it when it’s time to mop), the Roborock S7 can switch between mopping and vacuum modes without any assistance when it detects a carpeted surface via its ultrasonic sound sensor. Not only is this convenient, but the intelligent mop-lift feature also means that users don’t need to designate “no mop” zones via the vacuum’s smart map. Plus, when the S7 is done mopping, it lifts the cleaning pad to make sure that it doesn’t leave behind any dirty streaks. It also comes equipped with a 300ml water tank to ensure it’s able to mop all of your dirty surfaces.

When it comes to vacuuming, the Roborock S7 is equally impressive. It boasts 2,500 pa of HyperForce suction power, giving the S7 the ability to suck up even the most ground-in dirt. Roborock has also upgraded the main brush by replacing the bristles of past models with a finned rubber brush, which has a floating design that allows it to hug the floor, even on uneven surfaces. The S7 has a large 470ml dustbin, so you won’t need to empty it as often as some other models. (Roborock also plans to release an accompanying auto-empty dock that will allow the robot vac to self-empty.)

The Roborock S7 uses lidar technology to identify rooms and map out an efficient cleaning path, while its Sensient sensors let it avoid obstacles. And with a 5,200mAh battery allowing it to run for three hours on a single charge, the S7 is capable of cleaning your entire living space in one go.

The S7 can be controlled via a user-friendly app available for both iOS and Android devices. With this app, you can view a smart map and see where the robot vac is in real time, as well as designate no-go areas. You can also schedule specific cleaning times. Plus, the Roborock S7 will send notifications via the app if it becomes stuck or needs your help in some way. You can also control the Roborock with voice assistants through Google Home, Amazon Alexa, and Siri.

The Roborock S7 features “breathing” LED status indicator lights and will be available in white when it goes on sale at Amazon on March 24. (Roborock plans to release a black version in the near future.) The early bird price is only available until March 30 — just click the button below to get this deal.

Apple’s next home robot could turn its screen to follow you, but it might cost you $1,000 to do so
A smart display that pans, watches, and decides.
Apple HomeView feature

Remember the hopping Pixar lamp that famously squashes the letter “I” in the studio logo at the beginning of almost every Pixar movie? Apple may be building something similar, except this Pixar-inspired device won't actually hop or roll around your room. 

Instead, its motorized robotic arm could swivel the screen around (basically moving it left to right, or vice versa, on an axis). According to a new report from The Information, the Cupertino giant is working on a larger, robotic version of its recently-announced HomeView smart display, and it might arrive as soon as next year.

HomeView's built-in camera might soon have a few more uses beyond FaceTime calls.
Apple HomeView feature

Apple’s recently unveiled HomeView smart display could also function as a home security camera, according to a new finding in its software. The device, which already has a built-in camera for FaceTime calls and facial recognition, could supposedly use the same hardware for motion detection, live streaming, and video recording through HomeKit Secure Video.

The feature was spotted by a Reddit user in the settings files of HomeView Software 27.2 (via TheVerge). Apple hasn’t officially announced anything about it yet, but the references suggest there are going to be a few more uses for the built-in camera.

Waking up with a stiff back is a miserable way to start the day. The usual advice is to buy the firmest mattress you can find. It sounds reasonable, but your spine, shoulders, and hips don’t work that way. The needs differ for each person, but there are a few ways you can get that healthy sleep with the right mattress.
