Nobody likes spring cleaning season, but smart devices like robot vacuums have made cleaning easier than ever. Roomba may still rule the roost when it comes to robot vacuums, but a bevy of other brands have swept into the market, offering consumers an array of robotic options. The Ecovacs Deebot 601 is one such affordable Roomba alternative, and now you can pick one up on Amazon for just $190, down from $380.

Ecovacs’ Deebot line of robot vacuums includes some seriously powerful products, like its Ozmo 930, but when it comes to efficiency, affordability, and ease of use, the Deebot 601 is your best bet. Powered by Smart Move navigation technology, the Deebot 601 boasts a 120-minute runtime, with auto-return and auto-charge ensuring it’s always ready to go to work. Optimized navigation mode enables thorough wall-to-wall systemic cleaning on hard floors, though the Deebot 601 can also comfortably clean carpets in its powerful Max Mode, which offers twice the suction power. This compact 10-centimeter-tall robot can squeeze into hard-to-reach spots, and edge-cleaning brushes help it to simultaneously sweep, lift, and vacuum in a single pass.

While cleaning capabilities are key in a vacuum, these robots really shine with their smart technology. Simply connect the Deebot 601 to the Ecovacs Home app to schedule, track, and customize cleaning sessions, monitor accessory status, receive notifications, and more. Voice control compatibility lets you link a Google Assistant or Alexa device, like the Amazon Echo, and exercise hands-free command over your Deebot 601 robot vacuum from anywhere in your house. Have a home full of steep stairs? Deebot 601’s anti-drop stairs safety mode prevents it from taking a tumble. Fancy furniture? Anti-collision sensors keep your furnishings free of damage. Furry friends? Beyond its ease in cleaning pet hair, the Deebot 601’s low sound levels let cats and dogs rest easier than other, louder robot vacuums do.

For better or worse, robots are playing an ever-increasing role in our lives. In the instance of vacuums, it’s certainly for the better, so pick up your half-off Ecovacs Deebot 601 on Amazon now, and sweep away your old cleaning regimen for good.

Eureka shows off an innovative robot vacuum with a belt mopping system at CES 2024
A view of the bottom of the Eureka J20 robot vacuum.

When it comes to robot vacuums and mops, most models employ one of two methods to clean your floors -- a vibrating mop plate or spinning mop pads. Eureka is doing things a bit differently this year, as the team revealed the J20 Robotic Vacuum and Floor Washer at CES 2024, which uses an innovative new belt mop design.

The so-called RollRenew mopping system features a cycling belt mop, a dual water tank, and five water nozzles. As the robot rolls its mop across your floors, the nozzles will continuously spray water, cleaning up stains and soaking up spills. The dirty portion of the mop is then cleaned by a scraper located under the robot, forcing the dirty water into a wastewater reservoir.

Eufy shows off four security cameras and an upcoming robot vacuum

Eufy is a big name in the smart home space, and it had plenty of cool gadgets to show off at CES 2024. Along with giving consumers a closer look at four recently launched security cameras, Eufy revealed the X10 Pro Omni robot vacuum and mop, which looks to be an affordable alternative to flagships from Roborock and Ecovacs.

The X10 Pro Omni doesn't make any huge innovations in the world of robot vacuums. Most of its features we've already seen on other robots, such as its ability to empty its dustbin, clean its mop, then dry it to prevent the accumulation of mildew. It also boasts an avoidance system to ensure it's not bumping into any shoes, toys, or other items that have accidentally been left in its path. And while its 8,000 Pa of suction is impressive, it's a number a handful of other robots have already hit.

Ecovacs upgrades the X2 Omni robot vacuum with a cordless vacuum attachment
The Ecovacs X2 Combo installed in a home.

The Ecovacs Deebot X2 Omni was one of our favorite robot vacuums of 2023, and it's becoming even more enticing later this year. The all-new Ecovacs Deebot X2 Combo, which debuted during CES 2024, takes everything that made the X2 Omni special and bundles it with a cordless vacuum attachment, making it the first whole-home vacuum system designed by Ecovacs.

There isn't much new about the X2 Omni robot vacuum, though it's perfectly fine in its current form. Offering 8,000 Pa of suction, a square design to better clean edges, and the ability to lift its mops while traveling on carpet, the X2 Omni received a glowing review from Digital Trends that found it to be one of the best robot vacuums. It also boasts a docking station that automates most of your daily chores -- including emptying its dustbin and washing its mop with hot water before drying it with warm air.
