Amazon has discounted the Shark PowerDetect Robot Vacuum & Mop Combo to $279.99 from its $1,299.99 list price, a 78% reduction and an all-time low. The device combines vacuuming and mopping with a self-emptying, self-cleaning base that can go up to 60 days without manual maintenance, plus LiDAR navigation and room mapping. The discount requires an Amazon Prime membership, which is available via a free 30-day trial.
Dyson has released three new robot vacuums under its Nurovi line: the R1 Nurovi Dry ($550), R2 Nurovi Wash + Dry ($700), and R3 Nurovi Spot+Scrub UV ($1,200). All three share a redesigned light gray look, lidar-based navigation replacing the previous camera system, and a Twin-Capture system for cleaning both carpets and hard floors, with the top model adding UV stain detection. The R2 will be Costco-exclusive, while the R1 and R3 sell through Dyson's website and other retailers.
Roborock has revived its long-dormant Qrevo line with the Qrevo 2 Pro, launched at the end of August after a Qrevo Curv refresh earlier this year. The sub-$1,000 robot vacuum pairs a 20,000 Pa motor and LiDAR navigation with a FlexiArm mop and reversible side brush designed to reach corners and edges other robots miss. A WIRED reviewer who tested it for two weeks called it one of the best budget options available, rivaling the Eufy Omni C28, though it still struggles to detect small clutter like cords or toys.
