Teach your kids the value of imagination by not buying this $4,000 Star Wars bed

Pottery Barn: The place for all your apothecary tables, antique birdcages, and other days of yore or Colonial times needs, at least according to Friends. But the force is also with the furniture retailer, because it has a whole line of Star Wars-themed stuff to fully outfit your little Ewok’s digs.

From bed sheets to backpacks to sleeping bags (no Tauntaun version, though), there’s Star Wars everything. If your kid has a dark side, he or she can even fully redecorate in Darth Vader flare. Chewbacca fans can curl up in a $199 sleeping bag shaped like the Wookiee. The Chewie backpack even makes the roaring sound when you push a button. There are also dishes, beanbags, and chairs festooned with images and characters from the franchise.

A lot of this doesn’t come particularly cheap. The Empire Strikes Back sheet set costs $69 (compared to a different set of Star Wars sheets from Target for $19). The Death Star beanbag chair is $149. But the item that really takes the Wookiee Cookie is the bed shaped like the Millennium Falcon cockpit. The price? A mere $4,000 (or almost 15 of those Millennium Falcon Lego sets my cousin really wanted a few years ago).

The twin-sized bed is 45.5 inches wide, 108.25 inches long, and 45.5 inches high, so… you might be able to squeeze into it? It does have a control console, but it probably won’t get you to a galaxy far, far away.

Yes, $4,000 is a lot to spend on a bed. But it’s practically a steal when you compare it to some other kids’ beds we’ve seen — like the spaceship one that costs $14,000 and also doesn’t actually get you into space. At least imagination is free, right?

Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra vs. Narwal Freo X Ultra: Which is the best premium robot vacuum?
Narwal Freo X Ultra with dock in home

The two premium robots will vacuum and mop entirely on their own, before returning to their docks to automatically clean their mopheads and empty their dustbins. That sort of functionality doesn't come cheap, with both products carrying hefty price tags that'll put a big dent in your budget.

Because they're so expensive, you'll want to pay close attention to the differences between these two robot vacuums. Both are great additions to any household, but one might be a better fit for your needs than the other.

The Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra placed in its dock.

The Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra and Roborock S8 Max Ultra are two of the newest additions to the Roborock family. Along with having almost identical names, these robot vacuums share much of the same spec sheet -- including the ability to mop and vacuum in a single cycle before automatically emptying their dustbin and cleaning their mops. They're impressive gadgets by all accounts, but since they're wildly expensive, you'll want to carefully compare the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra and Roborock S8 Max Ultra before adding one to your home.

If you need help, here's a comprehensive look at these two premium robot vacuums, including a comparison of their vacuuming and mops skills, a look at their docking station perks, and a final determination of which is likely best for your needs. Keep in mind that you really can't go wrong with either product -- after all, they're two of the most expensive robots in the category -- but one might be a slightly better fit for your household than the other.

What to know before connecting the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra to your drainage system
The Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra model that hooks up to plumbing.

One of the coolest features of the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra is its ability to connect to your existing plumbing. This allows it to automatically refill its clean water supply and drain its dirty water after each cleaning cycle. In other words, it turns the robot vacuum into a highly automated floor cleaner that needs little to no manual input.

The most demanding portion of owning this version of the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra is installing it. Unlike the traditional model, which comes with water reservoirs and plugs into an electrical outlet, this model needs to connect to both your water and drain lines. And depending on how your home is set up, it might be more of a hassle than it's worth.
