Ecovacs is one of the top three bestselling robot vacuum brands, and the Deebot 500 entry-level model has all the cleaning and operational features many people may ever need.

In addition to its Max Mode Power feature, the Deebot 500 has a main central brush and two side brushes that work together to sweep, lift, and suck in dirt and debris from your floors. There are three cleaning modes: Auto, for general cleaning, Spot, for cleaning a small area, and Edge, for focusing on your floor edges and corners.

You can set up cleaning schedules for the Deebot 500 with the Ecovacs Smart App. The app also shows the robot vac’s status and current operating mode. Beside the mobile app, you can also control the Deebot 500 with the included remote control. To top off your access options, this Ecovacs model is compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant so that you can start or stop the vacuum hands-free with voice commands.


Rated to run for up to 110 minutes per battery charge, the Ecovacs Deebot 500 automatically returns to its charging station when it gets low on power. Other protective features include anti-collision sensors and anti-drop detectors so that it won’t fall down stairs or steps.


Backed by a one year warranty, the Deebot 500 comes with the docking charging station, remote control, a cleaning tool, an extra set of side brushes and high-efficiency dust filters, and a special cleaning tool helpful for detangling string or long hair that gets caught in the brushes.

Normally priced $280, the Ecovacs Deebot 500 is $135 for this sale, a 52% discount. If you’re looking for a great buy on a robot vacuum as a gift or for your home, this is a great opportunity.

Apple wants $279 to fix your $299 HomeView, so you better not drop it
Apple’s newest smart display comes with a not-so-smart repair bill.
Apple HomeView feature

I was genuinely excited when Apple announced the HomeView. A 7-inch smart display from Apple sounded like something I would happily put on my kitchen counter. Then Apple published its repair prices, and my excitement took a nosedive.

Apple Home Collection cameras, doorbell, smart lock, and thermostats launched at Apple Welcome Home event

Apple is finally taking the smart home segment more seriously with its latest Home Collection. The company now has a compelling lineup of cameras, doorbells, locks, and thermostats that look right at home alongside its other products (HomeView and HomePod mini 2). While not everyone is a fan of the minimalist designs (often calling them too clinical), I do appreciate the clean aesthetics.

Of course, one of the key selling points is the integration, which looks incredibly polished, and there's plenty to appreciate about Apple's privacy-first approach. But Apple being Apple is making sure you pay every penny for it. Developed alongside LG Electronics and Schneider Electric, Apple's new accessories start at $199.95 for an indoor camera and climb to $399.95 for a floodlight camera. Add an outdoor camera, video doorbell, smart lock, and thermostat to the mix, and you're already approaching $1,300 for five basic smart home devices.
