If you missed the Prime Day sales in July, Amazon has given you a second chance with the Prime Early Access Sale.  We’re also calling it Prime Day October 2022 because there are plenty of excellent Prime Day deals available to help you save on products you need today or to snag good deals for early holiday shopping. One of the best smart home deals we’ve seen in the current two-day sales event is for the Roborock E5 Robot Vacuum and Mop. If you’re in the market for a dual-purpose automated vacuum and mopping assistant with advanced navigation and mapping, Amazon slashed the price by 44% on this highly-rated combo. Instead of the regular $360 price, you can buy the Roborock E5 for just $200, saving $160 to use for other items on your list.

Why you should buy the Roborock E5 robot vacuum

Since the first Amazon Prime Day in 2015, the mega sales events have always included tempting Prime Day robot vacuum deals. Roborock has been one of the leading brands in smart home robotic floor cleaners and is no stranger to the lists of the best robot vacuums as well as some of the top deals during Prime Day. Power is definitely a major theme with the E5.  Rated for both carpeting and hard floor surfaces, the Wi-Fi-connected Roborock E5 is ready for hard work with a 2500PA suction vacuum force — way above the required minimum 500 to 600PA force for entry-level robot vacuums. That extra power pulls dirt and debris from deep in your carpets and lifts the same from hard floor surfaces when mopping. The combo cleaner’s battery is rated to run up to 200 minutes and vacuum up to 2,152 square feet on a single charge. If you simultaneous vacuum and mop floors, the Roborock multifunction robot can clean up to 1,600 square feet before it takes itself back to the docking station to automatically recharge.

The Roborock E5 isn’t all brawn, however. Roborock’s OpticEye technology uses two gyroscopes for advanced mapping so it can track where it has already cleaned. You can control the Roborock E5 with the included remote control, with the Roborock mobile app, or with voice control via either Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant. With all of its power and smarts, it’s only fitting that the Roborock E5 also has a capacious dustbin so it doesn’t have to quit part-way through cleaning jobs.

So here’s your chance to save $160 on this powerful and smart combination robot vacuum and mop. Instead of the usual $360 list price, you can pick up the Roborock E5 Robot Vacuum and Mop for just $200 today.

Why you should buy the Celestron StarSense Explorer DX telescope during Prime Day
The biggest feature of the Celestron StarSense Explorer DX that makes it great for beginners is the ability to hook it up to your smartphone. Connecting your phone lets you use the app to get a guided tour of the sky. Just point the telescope up in the sky (on a clear night) and connect the app. Using StarSense technology, the telescope figures out exactly what it's looking at. It knows where you are in the world, what time it is, and what it's looking at. From there it can point you in the direction of interesting things to look at based on your location and time. This is great for people just starting out in the world of stargazing.

Prime Day in October: Get a pack of 12 AA rechargeable batteries for $18
AmazonsBasics AA batteries being inserted into a game controller.

As much as we try to avoid it, sometimes, you just have to buy those pesky household items you never want to spend money on. But if you're lucky, you can take advantage of some excellent discounts, like Prime Day deals, which provide the perfect opportunity to stock up. Amazon's Prime Day Big Deal Days event makes those discounts even sweeter. While we are close to an AA-battery-free world, it hasn't happened yet. Fortunately, we have a rechargeable option to spend less money and throw fewer batteries into landfills. Right now, you can get a 12-pack of Amazon Basic rechargeable batteries for just $18, thanks to a 10% discount on Prime Day. This deal will likely only stick around during the sale, so if your battery drawer is running low, grab them as soon as possible.

 
Why you should buy Amazon AA rechargeable batteries during the Prime Day Big Deal Days sale
Of course, there's not much I can tell you about batteries that you don't already know. These Amazon Basics brand AAs have a 2,000 mAh storage capacity. That's lower than a traditional alkaline battery, but it has enough power to last for a good three to four hours of continuous use. Then the rechargeable factor comes in. You can recharge these batteries about 1,000 times before they die out. Think about how many batteries it will save you -- and how much money. Let's do some quick napkin math. 1,000 recharges... alkaline batteries cost around one-third the price of a rechargeable... factor in the difference in storage capacity... It could be as much as $300 in savings over a single battery's lifetime. A lot less waste too.
