Amazon slashes prices of Ecovacs Deebot N79S robot vac with and without Echo Dot

Amazon slashed the price of the Alexa and Google Home-compatible Ecovacs Deebot N79S robot vacuum for two daily deals, with and without a third-generation Echo Dot. These deals expire at midnight tonight East Coast time, and the Ecovacs price is the lowest since mid-December, which was the lowest price we’ve seen.

Full disclosure: I purchased an Ecovacs Deebot N79S on December 14, 2018, when it was last on sale for $150. It was our first robotic vacuum, and it easily exceeded our expectations. We wanted this specific model so we could use it with our Alexa-based smart home setup. Even though Ecovacs states the N79 robot vacs are best for hard floors, our Deebot has no trouble with the medium pile carpeting in bedrooms. Our robot vacuum is working just fine and keeps our home floors tidier than we certainly would because it rolls easily under furniture. I surprised my wife with the Deebot as a “family” Christmas gift. After about three weeks, one day when the robot vac rolled by, she said, “Best gift ever!”

This daily deal discounts the Ecovacs Debot N79S by 50% for $150 off. If you buy the bundled deal that includes the robot vac and an Echo Dot, which also has 50% off and expires at midnight, the total savings is $175. Whether you’re looking for a gift for Mother’s Day or an upcoming wedding or you’d like to have your own robotic assistant to keep your floors clean,  these two deals can help you save up to $175.

Ecovacs Deebot N79S Robotic Vacuum Cleaner — $150 off

The Ecovacs Deebot N79S model uses three cleaning stages to keep your floors free of dust, dirt, dog hair, and pretty much anything it encounters. When the robo vac senses a greater than usual amount of dirt, it automatically switches to Max Mode, which increases the suction power up to two times to get the job done. The Deebot senses obstacles and dropoffs such as stairs and changes direction to avoid them. The vacuum comes with a remote for selecting automatic mode, single room mode, spot cleaning mode, and return to the charger base. The Ecovacs Home app displays the current cleaning mode and remaining battery power. You can also use Alexa voice commands to tell the Deebot N79S to start, stop, and return to the charger.

Normally priced $300, the Ecovacs Deebot N79S is just $150 during this one-day sale that ends at midnight tonight. If you want a solid-performing robot vac that works with Alexa, this is a great opportunity to take advantage of the best price we’ve seen for this impressive machine.

Usually $350 if purchased separately, the price for the Ecovacs Deebot N79S bundled with a third-generation Echo Dot is $175 for this one-day deal. If you like everything you’ve read and want to pick up your first Alexa device or add to your existing smart home configuration, this is a chance to buy both the robot vac and the Echo Dot at half price.

Ecovacs Deebot T20 Omni brings hot water washin, mop-lifting skills to Deebot lineup
The Ecovacs T20 Omni docked in a living room.

It seems like Ecovacs only just launched the Deebot T10 Omni, but the company is already gearing up for another massive product launch. On June 13, the Ecovacs Deebot T20 Omni will hit the markets, bringing with it a bunch of new skills -- including the ability to raise its mop while traveling on carpet and an automated mop-washing station that uses hot water to prevent the buildup of bacteria.

The ability to lift its mopping plates 9mm off the ground is a big selling point of the T20 Omni. In fact, no other robot vacuum can lift their mop higher -- unless, of course, you count the j7+ Combo, which completely changes the orientation of its mophead to ensure it doesn’t brush along your carpet. But no matter how you cut it, the 9mm of travel distance for the mophead is a big improvement for the T20 Omni.

Ecovacs introduces three new robot vacuums for homes of all sizes
The new ECOVACS products on a kitchen floor.

Ecovacs is one of the biggest names in the world of robot vacuums, and it’s looking to continue that dominance in 2023 with three new product launches. Ranging in price from $650 to $1,300, the trio of DEEBOT robot vacuums is designed for smart homes of different sizes and different needs, ensuring there’s something for every family.

The Deebot T10 Omni is the most compelling of the three -- and it’s also the most expensive at $1,300. It brings a lot to the table, however, as it features the new Ozmo Turbo 2.0 mopping system with spinning brushes, the ability to take voice commands without a third-party product, and a docking station with auto-cleaning and auto-emptying capabilities. It’s designed for homes of all sizes, but it should be the most enticing for large families that see plenty of foot traffic (or paw traffic) through their house.
