Amazon slashes the price of the Ecovacs Deebot 901 robot vacuum for one day

Add as a preferred source on Google

Amazon took a dramatic price cut for its Deal of the Day on the Alexa-compatible Ecovacs Deebot 901 robot vacuum cleaner. When Digital Trends reviewed the premium-level Deebot 901 smart vacuum, the reviewer gave it high marks for room mapping support, virtual boundaries, and voice response with Alexa and Google Assistant.

The Ecovacs Deebot N79S robot vacuum is also on sale. The Deebot N79S doesn’t have the 9o1’s mapping and virtual boundaries, but the N79S responds to Amazon Alexa voice commands and the Ecovacs app. Last fall I bought a Deebot N79S, and my wife and I are extremely pleased with its floor-cleaning capabilities.

These two Ecovacs Deebot robot vacuums are both on the Digital Trends Best Robot Vacuums for 2019 shortlist. With two Ecovacs Deebot robot vacuums on sale on Amazon, both Alexa compatible, you have an opportunity to choose between a highly functional base model or a premium model. Both Deebots are benefiting from deep price cuts, although the high-end Deebot 901 sale price is only good for one day. Whether you’re buying for your own home, shopping for Mother’s Day, or looking for a killer wedding gift, these two deals can help you save up to $235.

Rated “Best for Pets” in the Digital Trends Best Robot Vacuums for 2019, the Ecovacs Deebot 901 scored high in smart mapping in our testing. Accurate mapping helps the robot vac avoid collisions while it chooses the most efficient path to clean your rooms. The Deebot 901 has the Ecovacs third-generation navigation technology aided by laser sensors. This model is compatible with both Amazon Alexa and Google Home and also has a unique voice-reporting feature that informs of you its progress while cleaning.

Normally priced at $500, the Deebot 901 is just $265 on Amazon for today only. If you want a premium robot vacuum that works with Alexa or Google Home, this is a great opportunity to take advantage of this awesome price.

The second Ecovacs model on the Digital Trends Best Robot Vacuums of 2019, the Deebot N79S scored as the best budget model. I bought a Deebot N79S as a surprise house gift for Christmas last year, and my wife calls it, “The best gift ever.” We’ve been using it every week for almost four months to clean the floors of our home and are happy to turn over that chore to a robotic assistant.

While it’s considered a “budget” robot vacuum, the Deebot N79S is Alexa compatible and responds to voice commands to start and stop cleaning and return to its charger. In addition to Auto mode, in which the Deebot cleans the whole house, more targeted Single Room and Spot Cleaning modes are handy. We have a large dog and have been particularly impressed with the Spot Cleaning mode for cleaning up when she charges into the house with muddy feet.

Usually $300, the Ecovacs Deebot N79S is on sale for $190. If you’re looking for a powerful robot vacuum and don’t need features like virtual mapping and selective area cleaning, this is a chance to buy at an attractive price.

The Google Home Speaker is impressive, until you look at the power cable
Sphere, Electronics, Speaker

The Google Home Speaker hasn't even started shipping yet, but one lucky buyer managed to grab one early and share their first impressions. While most of the news is positive, there's one detail that won't sit well with anyone who cares about repairability.

For the unaware, Google announced the speaker back in October 2025, and pre-orders went live last week. Priced at $99, it's the company's first new speaker in six years, so people have plenty of questions.

Prime Day discounts are hitting everything from Pixel phones to Nest cameras and the Pixel Watch 4. After digging through the listings, these are the deals that stood out the most.
Google Pixel 10 vs Pixel 10 Pro

Some Prime Day deals feel like discounts in name only, but after digging through this year's sale, I found a few Google deals that are genuinely worth your attention. Several Pixel 10 models are seeing triple-digit price cuts, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold is at its lowest price yet, and a few Nest products are available at prices that are actually hard to ignore. Whether you're looking for a new smartphone, smartwatch, streaming device, or smart home upgrade, these are the Google deals I'd recommend before Prime Day wraps up on June 26.

Indoors, Interior Design, Appliance

Prime Day is often associated with upgrading devices inside the home, but some of the most interesting deals this year are focused on the spaces outside it. From June 23 to June 26, Sylvox is offering discounts of up to 28% on its Frameless Series Outdoor TVs, bringing down the cost of a category that has become increasingly relevant as homeowners invest more in their outdoor living spaces.

The timing reflects a broader shift in how backyards, patios, and decks are being used. What were once occasional gathering spots are increasingly functioning as extensions of the home, doubling up as entertainment areas, outdoor dining spaces, and even wellness zones. As these spaces evolve, homeowners are paying closer attention to the products they bring into them—not just in terms of performance, but also how they fit into the overall design.
