The Ecovacs Deebot 500 has all the power and cleaning features you need to clean your home floors. Three brushes, including the main brush and two side-sweeping brushes, sweep and lift dust, dirt, and debris so the vacuum suction can pull it all into the generously sized 520ml dust bin. The Deebot 500 has three cleaning modes: Auto mode to clean the whole floor in the house, Spot mode to focus on one specific area, and Edge mode, which focuses on troublesome room edges. While cleaning your floors, the Deebot 500 automatically boosts the power up to 200% when it detects hard to clean areas.

You have several choices for controlling the Deebot 500. The vacuum comes with a remote control with stop, start, home, and mode buttons. The Ecovacs mobile app performs the same functions and can also schedule cleaning sessions and access status updates for the vacuum and accessories. Finally, you can pair the Ecovacs Deebot 500 with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant for basic controls via voice commands.

The Deebot 500 has protective bumpers as well as anti-collision and anti-drop sensing. When it senses the battery is getting low, the robotic vacuum returns to its charging base automatically to recharge. Starting with a full battery charge, the Deebot 500 runs for up to 110 minutes continuously. The dustbin design includes two filters to trap airborne dust and debris. Emptying the bin and cleaning the filters is fast and easy.

You can easily spend more than $1,000 for a robotic vacuum cleaner, but if you just want clean floors, there’s no better choice than Ecovacs Deebot 500. Fast action will help you save $114 during this early Prime Day deal when you buy the Deebot 500 for $166 instead of the normal $280 list price.

Hands-On with Haier at IFA 2026: There’s a camera in everything
From AI-powered fridges and washing machines to robot-assisted laundry, Haier’s vision of the smart home is getting seriously intelligent.
Haier Booth at IFA 2026

If I had to sum up Haier’s entire IFA showcase in one sentence, it would be a camera here, a camera there, and a camera everywhere. But after spending some time with the products, I realised the cameras aren't really the point. The interesting part is what Haier is doing with all that visual information.

From fridge to oven, AI is watching

Shark ChillPill first look: A surprisingly cool EDC route to beating the heat
A triple-mode cooling gizmo that deserves a spot in your EDC kit.
Person using the Shark ChillPill.

I first saw the Shark ChillPill on social media and thought it looked like a pretty interesting little gadget to try. Taking it out to the golf course on a warm day seemed like the right way to put it through its paces, because the ChillPill has three different ways of cooling you down: a high-speed fan, a mister, and a chilling plate that makes direct contact with your skin. You can't use all three at once, which is a little disappointing, but I was curious to see how each one worked in the heat.

How strange it is to be anything at all: A first look at physical AI through Intern 2
I unboxed Autonomous Intern 2 expecting to meet an AI agent. Instead, it got me thinking about what it means for AI to have a physical presence at all
Triangle, Lamp, Tent

There is an episode of The IT Crowd where Moss and Roy convince Jen that a small black box with a blinking light contains the entire internet. She carefully carries it around like some impossibly important piece of technology.

Intern 2 gave me a little of that feeling.
