When we saw Amazon took 50% off the price of this well-regarded Ecovacs model, even though it’s just for one day, we were impressed. Whether you’re looking for a robot vacuum for a wedding gift or Father’s Day or if you want an Alexa and Google Home compatible robot vac to add to your smart home, this deal can help you save $190.

Ecovacs Deebot 601 with App Control — $190 off

The Deebot 601 senses floor surfaces and when it detects a hard floor, the robotic vacuum employs an optimized path for the most efficient and thorough cleaning. The smart vac can also tell when it encounters extra dirt or debris on hard floor and carpet that requires more suction power; when deeper cleaning is needed the Deebot 601 automatically switches to Max Mode for up to twice the Suction power.

Ecovacs’ 3-stage process uses two edge brushes and a V-shaped main brush to sweet, lift, and vacuum synchronously for efficient one-pass cleaning. The Deebot 601’s low-profile design, just under 4 inches high, allows the robot to move under furniture to clean dirt, dust, and debris that usually escapes regular cleaning.

Ecovacs refers to the Deebot 601 as”pet-friendly” for two reasons. The vacuum not only vacuums up pet hair, but it also operates with a low sound level so it won’t disturb pets with unsettling noises.

The Deebot 601 includes an infrared remote, which gives you four ways to control the robot vacuum. You can schedule the Deebot 601 to clean at specified days and times and choose from auto, one-room, and spot-cleaning modes with the remote or the Ecovacs mobile app.

You can also use the app, the remote, and Alexa or Google Assistant voice commands to stop, start, or send the robot vacuum back to its charging station. Ecovacs rates the Deebot 601 for up to 110 minutes of vacuuming per charge. Extensive use of Max Mode diminishes the running time. When the robot vacuum senses its battery power is running low, it automatically returns to the charging station.

The Deebot 601 senses objects in its path and falls (such as from stairs or room level changes), so it won’t damage your walls or furniture or injure itself.

Normally priced at $380, the Ecovacs Deebot 601 is half price or $190 only during this one-day sale. If you want an advanced robotic vacuum that you can control with a smartphone app or with either of the predominant smart home digital voice assistants, this is a great opportunity to take advantage of an awesome price.

Ecovacs shows off powerful Deebot X8 Pro Omni robot vacuum at CES 2025

Ecovacs came out swinging at CES 2025, revealing a slew of smart home products running the gamut from robot vacuums and lawnmowers to bizarre window-cleaning robots. The star, however, was the Deebot X8 Pro Omni -- a powerful robot vacuum that makes big changes to its mopping abilities thanks to a new collaboration with Tineco.

Though it didn’t pick up a robotic arm like the Roborock Saros Z70, the Deebot X8 Pro Omni did learn some cool new mopping techniques. There are two big upgrades here, the first being additional pressure while mopping. The X8 Pro Omni can create up to 4,000Pa pressure and spin at up to 200 rpm, which should result in better cleaning than anything else we’ve seen from Ecovacs so far. The other upgrade is a self-washing mop, which continually cleans itself while mopping your floors, ensuring every mess is tackled by a clean mop.

The Dreame X50 Ultra robot vacuum can hop over small obstacles with ease
Dreame X50 Ultra

Robot vacuums offer a lot of convenience — provided you only need to clean one level. If an area is separated by steps, the robot needs a bit of help getting from one elevation to another. The Dreame X50 Ultra, the newest flagship vacuum from Dreame, has a lift system that allows it to climb over small steps up to 6 centimeters (about 2.36 inches) in height. The ProLeap System is among the first of its kind, with levers that let it hop over obstacles like cords, transition strips, and much more.

The Dreame X50 Ultra also comes with the VersaLift Navigation System that lets it drop low enough to clean under furniture like beds and couches. It drops the turret — the round part on top of the robot — and uses its onboard cameras to navigate around and avoid obstacles. With a clearance of 89mm, the Dreame X50 Ultra is the limbo champion of robot vacuums. It recognizes more than 200 potential obstacles and navigates around them.

Narwal debuts innovative robot vacuum with new mop-cleaning functionality at CES 2025
Narwal Flow

Narwal is responsible for some of our favorite robot vacuums, including the premium Narwal Freo Z Ultra, which features a modern aesthetic and ultra-quiet operation. The company’s track record of innovation continued at CES 2025 with the reveal of the Narwal Flow -- an upcoming robot vacuum built with a powerful new mopping system.

The Narwal Flow employs a new type of mopping system (dubbed the FlowWash Mopping System) that actively cleans its rolling mopping plate as it's cleaning your floors. This ensures you won’t be tracking dirty mops across the ground and should result in a better overall cleaning experience. The robot is equipped with both a clean and dirty water tank, allowing it to extract dirty water from the mop while simultaneously rewetting it. This allows the mop to remain in excellent condition without needing to head back to the docking station for self-cleaning.
