Wyze Cordless Vacuum undercuts rivals with ridiculously low pricing

Vacuuming can be a real pain, especially when your trusted dirt companion is nothing more than a massive weight on wheels. Thankfully, consumer tech brands have come up with plenty of reimagined vacuum designs to take the heaving out of your next whole-home weekend cleaning. Wyze, the popular smart home company known for everything from smart lights to security cameras, is the latest name to jump on the vacuum wagon, and the results will give other suction stalwarts a run for their money.

Just announced, the Wyze Cordless Vacuum is available for pre-order with a jaw-dropping price point of only $119. Compare that to competitive vacuum names like Shark (cordless models starting around $199) and Dyson (cordless starting at $299). You may be wondering if lower cost means lesser performance. With most things Wyze, that’s simply not the case. This vacuum is no exception.

For starters, the vacuum itself runs off a dual-powered motor system. The core digital motor outputs up to 24,000 Pa of suction, with the ancillary brush head motor delivering another 9,500 Pa for the toughest messes your home can muster. With all that suction, it’s easy to imagine a vacuum that requires constant charging. Rest assured, Wyze has taken this into consideration. The vacuum comes with a single rechargeable battery that is guaranteed to last up to 50 minutes. If you purchase a second battery ($59), that’s close to 100 minutes of performance time.

In terms of cleaning speeds, there are three to choose from: Eco (7,000 Pa), Medium (15,000 Pa), and Turbo (24,000 Pa). Switching between tiers of suction is as simple as making a selection on the vacuum’s easy-to-read LED touchscreen. Whatever detritus the vacuum takes in is funneled through a three-stage filtration system, starting with the vacuum cyclone itself and ending with a HEPA filter that blocks nearly all finer air particles from affecting your living space.

Weighing in at only 2.8 pounds, the vacuum is also a breeze to move throughout the multiple rooms and floors of any home. With an easy-empty dust cap and a handy mounting bracket for elevating your closet space, the Wyze Cordless Vacuum is a testament to the Wyze way: Competitively priced consumer tech with features and performance matching the abilities of much higher-priced products. Pre-orders are live right now through Wyze’s site, with vacuums expected to begin shipping in July. Get online and snag your Wyze Cordless Vacuum today!

The j7+ is iRobot’s first two-in-one vacuum and mop combo
The Roomba Combo j7+ mopping wood floors.

Robot vacuums have quickly become a key part of a connected smart home, and iRobot is giving customers a new, premium option with the Roomba Combo j7+ -- a robot vacuum that can both mop and vacuum without any additional user input, thanks to a retractable mophead that stows away when moving from hardwood to carpet.

This retractable mophead is what sets the j7+ apart from the competition. Most premium robot vacuums feature both mopping and vacuuming capabilities but require the user to swap out the mophead before letting it roll onto the carpet. With the Roomba Combo j7+, that’s all been automated. Not only can iRobot’s new product detect what type of surface it’s on but it can also raise its mop pad in the air to avoid saturating your carpet.

Comparison of Dyson Cyclone v8 vs. v10
Dyson V10 Cordless Vacuum used in a living room.

If you’re looking for a powerful Dyson vac for your home, you may have already noticed their battery-powered stick vacuums, which combine lightweight cleaning and portability with powerful Dyson motors. But there are quite a few versions of these cordless vacs. We're taking a look at two popular models, the Cyclone v8 and the Cyclone v10, less expensive (although Dyson vacs tend to be on the high end) models that are ideal for smaller rooms or spaces. These two vacuum cleaners may look similar, but there are differences you should know. Here’s how they stack up.
Design and cleaning features

While both are slim stick vacs that can transform into handhelds, the v8 and the v10 have noticeably different designs, due mostly to the motor upgrade of the v10. The v8 uses a Dyson digital motor that spins up to 110,000 rpm for powerful suction, but it’s noticeably bulky at the top thanks to the large canister integrated into the handle. The v10 uses an upgraded digital motor with 14 cyclones to generate even more suction, and the design has been slimmed down for easier handling and storage.
