The Verge has launched a centralized hub tracking Black Friday deals on electronics including wireless earbuds, smartwatches, robot vacuums and gaming gear, ahead of Black Friday itself on November 27th. The outlet says retailers have already started discounting items weeks in advance, and the page will be updated regularly as new deals appear through the holiday season.
Eufy has started its Black Friday promotions ahead of schedule, cutting prices on robot vacuums, security cameras, video doorbells and outdoor lighting. Several items carry additional savings through exclusive CNET promo codes, including the Omni S2 robot vacuum at $1,280 (down from $1,680), the SoloCam S340 two-camera kit at $200 (down from $440), the Omni C28 vacuum at $430 (down from $800), and a EufyCam S4 four-camera kit with HomeBase at $1,200 (down from $1,900).
WIRED's vacuum tester highlights current Dyson deals, including a $400 price cut on the Spot+Scrub Ai robot vacuum and a $100 discount on the newer Dyson R1 Nurovi Dry, now $450. The V16 Piston Animal stick vacuum, Dyson's most powerful model at 315 air watts, is also listed among the week's notable deals.
Many higher-end robot vacuums now include microphones, cameras and cloud connectivity that let owners check in remotely, generate floor maps and track cleaning histories. That data often passes through manufacturers' servers, meaning sensitive details about a home's layout or household activity could be collected and shared beyond the user's immediate control. Not all devices misuse this data, but the extent of collection and sharing varies widely by model and brand.
During Prime Big Deal Days, Amazon has discounted a selection of vacuums, including popular models from Dyson, Shark, and Bissell. These deals feature tested and recommended units, with some capable of handling tough stains and multiple floor types. The sale is part of a limited-time event, with prices verified as still active before the event concludes.

Roborock has launched a Fall Prime Day promotion running October 6-7, offering discounts of up to $1600 across its 2026 flagship robot vacuum and mop lineup. Featured models include the Qrevo Edge 3 Pro, which uses an AdaptiLift Chassis to climb thresholds up to 1.77 inches and navigate clearances as low as 3.13 inches, alongside a 36,000 Pa suction motor and object-recognition system covering over 300 items.

Roborock is running early Prime Day discounts on several of its robot vacuums, including the recently launched Qrevo 2 Pro, now priced around $500. The device features 20,000 Pa of suction, app-based controls, and an extendable mop arm designed to reach corners, and has been discounted twice since its release last month.
Robot vacuums lack arms and can't move objects out of their path, leaving them stuck on cables, socks, or lightweight rugs. While pricier models use infrared, LiDAR, or AI cameras to navigate around obstacles more intelligently than basic bump-sensor units, most still can't physically clear a room the way a human cleaner can.
At IFA Berlin 2026, companies like Anker (Eufy Omni E35) and Ecovacs (Deebot X12S Omnicyclone) showcased robot vacuums specifically certified to remove dust mites and allergens, with third-party testing backing their claims. Overall, the show felt quieter than previous years, with fewer wild concept reveals and more focus on refining existing product lines like the Saros Rover and Dreame Cyber X.
At IFA, Ecovacs unveiled the Deebot X12S OmniCyclone, an update to its X12 robot vacuum that adds dust mite removal capability while retaining the water jet stain-loosening feature from its predecessor. In a live demonstration, the reporter observed the stain-removal spray fail to actually hit its intended target, raising questions about that feature's reliability, though independent testing by SGS in Singapore found the device removed over 97% of dust mite allergens and 95% of dust mites from carpet.
