I found 5 cleaning deals worth sweeping up this Labor Day

Robot vacuums, cordless cleaners, and one dirt-cheap handheld made the cut

There are a lot of Labor Day vacuum deals, but plenty of them are either barely discounted or just not that interesting. I narrowed things down to five that I’d actually consider, with options ranging from a $69.99 handheld to a robot vacuum that handles most of the dirty work itself.

Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Flow

If you want to automate as much cleaning as possible, the Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Flow is $699.99 at Amazon, down from $999.99. It packs 20,000Pa suction, a self-cleaning roller mop, obstacle avoidance, and a dock that washes and dries the mop. Its predecessor impressed us in our Roborock Qrevo Curv review, and this newer model pushes the formula further.

Dyson V11 Plus

The Dyson V11 Plus is $379.99 at Best Buy, which is $250 below its $629.99 comparable value. It’s not Dyson’s newest cordless vacuum, but that’s also why this price is interesting. The V11 is still powerful, easy to maneuver, and gives you a useful display for checking remaining battery life. Our Dyson V11 testing also found plenty to like about its build and cleaning performance.

Yeedi S14 Plus

You can spend a lot more than $400 on a robot vacuum with a proper dock, which makes the Yeedi S14 Plus at $399.98 on Amazon worth a look. It normally goes for $499.99 and uses a roller mop that applies pressure to the floor rather than dragging a wet pad behind it. The base station also takes care of much of the cleanup afterward.

Shark Cordless Pet Vacuum

The Shark Cordless Pet Vacuum is $179.99 at Best Buy, down from a $299.99 comparable value, and it’s probably the most sensible everyday vacuum here. You get up to 40 minutes of runtime, automatic brush-roll adjustment for different surfaces, and the option to turn it into a handheld for furniture or stairs.

Shark UltraCyclone Pro

Not every mess needs a full-size vacuum. The Shark UltraCyclone Pro is $69.99 at Amazon, compared with $89.99 normally, and I’d mainly keep it around for crumbs, stairs, upholstery, or the car. It has an XL dust cup and washable filter, but the real appeal is simple: it’s small enough to grab without turning cleanup into a whole production.

Apple Welcome Home product launch event event scheduled for October 13

Apple has another hardware event on the calendar, and the name is doing very little to hide where the company is looking next. Apple’s Senior Vice President of Marketing Greg Joswiak says the “Welcome Home” event will take place on October 13, putting the spotlight squarely on the company’s long-rumored smart home plans.

Three products look like the obvious candidates. Apple is expected to reveal a second-generation HomePod mini, a refreshed Apple TV 4K, and the long-awaited Apple home hub. It could be Apple’s biggest home push in years.

Smart lighting is one of those upgrades I find surprisingly easy to justify. You don't need to remodel a room or buy new furniture. Sometimes, adding a colourful lamp in a dark corner is enough to make the whole space feel different.

Amazon Prime Day 2026 has some interesting smart lighting deals, and I’ve picked five that caught my attention. There’s everything from a simple Alexa-controlled light to recessed ceiling lights, a Govee RGBIC floor lamp, and Philips Hue’s HDMI Sync Box.
