Suction power is measured in Pascals (Pa); the higher the number, the better. Inexpensive options like the Eufy 11S Max feature a 2,000Pa suction, while more high-end options, like the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra, have 10,000Pa.

Many robot vacuums use these sensors to detect cliffs and stop so they don't fall down the stairs. Depending on the tech used for mapping, robot vacuums clean in linear or random patterns, which is also something to consider if you like the look of carpet lines.

It makes cleaning up that much easier and ensures that once the dirt is vacuumed up, it isn't being let back out into your home. Once the bag is full, you'll simply pull it away, throw it in the trash, and put in a brand new bag.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\" data-hed=\"What is the best self-emptying robot vacuum?\" data-imagegroup=\"{}\" data-merchantoffers=\"[]\" data-usepricing=\"true\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fdiv\u003E\u003Cdiv data-shortcode=\"cnetlisticle\" data-id=\"107eb134-ddec-4a48-9367-bd24f570258e\" data-edition=\"us\" data-description=\"\u003Cp\u003EIn our testing experience, you get what you pay for with two-in-one machines.

And if so, why? My guess is that it's a thing you'd do while the robot pet was new, and then maybe to show your friends and your friends' kids, and then maybe a few times when you're bored. But otherwise, what's the benefit? A mechanical pet doesn't need exercise and can't respond emotionally to the attention. So playing fetch with it is purely for you. Fun while it's still a novelty, but after that…?  \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAs MIT robotics researcher \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.katedarling.org\u002F\" target=\"_blank\"\u003EKate Darling\u003C\u002Fa\u003E shows in \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fus.macmillan.com\u002Fbooks\u002F9781250296108\u002Fthenewbreed\" target=\"_blank\"\u003E\u003Cem\u003EThe New Breed: What Our History with Animals Reveals about Our Future with Robots\u003C\u002Fem\u003E\u003C\u002Fa\u003E, this is not a trivial question. Robots don't have emotions, but we do, and experience has already shown that we can bond closely even with inanimate objects despite knowing they can't really return the attachment. As robots increasingly become part of our lives as devices, pets, assistants, and partners, how we adapt to their presence matters.  \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EDarling isn't interested in the extreme questions that populate the media, but are really too speculative or far-off in comparison to the problems posed by the near-present. Worse, when we cast robots as taking our jobs, the resulting fear and resentment prevent us from considering the better option within our grasp: harnessing robots as partners, as we did with animals before.  \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Chr\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ESee also: \u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.zdnet.com\u002Farticle\u002Ffacebook-here-comes-the-ai-of-the-metaverse\u002F#link=%7B%22role%22:%22standard%22,%22href%22:%22https:\u002F\u002Fwww.zdnet.com\u002Farticle\u002Ffacebook-here-comes-the-ai-of-the-metaverse\u002F%22,%22target%22:%22_blank%22,%22absolute%22:%22%22,%22linkText%22:%22Facebook:%20Here%20comes%20the%20AI%20of%20the%20Metaverse%22%7D\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EFacebook: Here comes the AI of the Metaverse\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E\u003C\u002Fa\u003E.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Chr\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThink oxen and farmers, or humans and pack animals like camels and donkeys. Throughout the history of our interactions with animals, they have helped us do things we couldn't accomplish on our own -- and all without being judged on whether their intelligence matched our own. Making robots 'like us', Darling writes, is silly.

In medieval Europe, animals were frequently \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.atlasobscura.com\u002Farticles\u002Fthe-truth-and-myth-behind-animal-trials-of-the-middle-ages\" target=\"_blank\"\u003Etried in court\u003C\u002Fa\u003E for sins such as attacking children (pigs) or destroying crops (rats and insects, but especially weevils, which featured in one case that lasted 41 years).

Darling meticulously inserts trigger warnings on some of these chapters. She then goes on to consider our history of pets and companion animals, before moving on to consider robot rights in the light of the evolution of animal rights.  \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EOver and over, Darling asks why we frame robots as replacements for human friends, carers or workers. We worry about the loneliness of older relatives alone in a room with a robot but don't blink when a care home acquires a couple of goats. Yet Darling reminds us that when pets became popular, psychologists fretted that human-animal relationships were unhealthy, too. That said, Darling recognises that robots, like other digital devices, are built by companies with their own agendas and that the potential for privacy invasion and manipulation is significantly different.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EMost importantly, Darling reminds us to ignore the inevitability narrative that governs so many discussions of technology.

Even when giving it full range of my open-concept living room, kitchen, and dining room, there would be times when the Shark would primarily clean in one area and call it a day. Knowing this, I ran the robot every single day to get the maximum cleaning. If you have an open-concept home and don't plan on running the robot daily, then the Shark probably isn't for you.  \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EOn the other hand, for any rooms that have doors, I could just stick the vacuum in there, close the door, leave it for 10 minutes, and come back to completely cleaned floors.  \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cdiv data-shortcode=\"image\" data-uuid=\"8e3e55f3-0e58-40d4-85da-1880aead248e\" data-size=\"original\" data-float=\"none\" data-image-caption=\"\u003Cp\u003EThe vacuum comes with three buttons for a simplified user experience.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\" data-image-credit=\"Image: Beth Mauder\u002FZDNet\" data-image-alt-text=\"shark1.jpg\" data-image-filename=\"shark1.jpg\" data-image-date-created=\"2022\u002F04\u002F14\" data-image-width=\"1600\" data-image-height=\"1200\" data-image-do-not-crop=\"false\" data-image-do-not-resize=\"false\" data-image-watermark=\"false\" data-lightbox=\"false\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fdiv\u003E\u003Ch2\u003E \t\u003Cstrong\u003ESuction power\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E \u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWhere this robot lacks in mapping technology, it makes up for with its suction power on tiles, laminate, and rugs. Not only did I run the vacuum daily in a house with two dogs and a cat, but I also tested its suction power on pieces of dog food, blades of grass, kitty litter, and some crushed-up potato chips. It didn't miss a beat when cleaning; it sucked up everything in its path.  \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EOn top of those specific tests, my floors looked spectacular after running the vacuum. It was so efficient at cleaning the floors that I was able to mop immediately after without having to worry about any dust or debris left behind. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EOn my carpet, the Shark ION AV751 cleaned the top surface well, but wasn't as effective with the bits underneath.

Not only was it strong and determined enough to drive right up onto my carpet, but it would sometimes accidentally finds itself climbing up onto the platform of my cat tower. (Again, the lack of mapping is to blame here.) The tower isn't something that I necessarily want swept, but I was still impressed by the Shark's mobility.

The first time the robot approached my stairs, I was nervous and stood closely to snag the vacuum just in case it decided to take a tumble. Much to my surprise, it never did. Every time it approached the stairs, it would clean right to the ledge and then turn around.

The app is user friendly and easy to navigate. You can start and stop your robot in addition to scheduling cleaning cycles all within it. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWhen scheduling, the app and robot work seamlessly together; the vacuum always started promptly at the correct time. Just make sure you have it plugged in and charged before doing so. Alexa and Google Assistant were also easy to set up and use, although I didn't find them as convenient as the SharkClean app. Oftentimes, I'd already have the vacuum scheduled to run, so I didn't need to tell it to begin a cleaning job.  \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAnother thing the Shark ION AV751 struggles with is finding its way back to the docking station after completing a cleaning cycle. Whenever it finished its job and was too far from the dock, it would aimlessly drive around looking for the docking station (and wasn't very successful). More times than not, I had to go find the vacuum, stop it, and station it myself. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThis isn't terribly inconvenient. If you were to schedule the vacuum to run while you're at work, however, there's a good chance that it would run out of battery trying to find the docking station.

If there's a shoe or a cord out of place, the robot will automatically detect and avoid the item. At the end of the cleaning run, you can look in the iRobot Home app to see what objects and obstacles the Roomba detected during its cleaning sessions. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAlso: \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.zdnet.com\u002Fhome-and-office\u002Fsmart-office\u002Fthis-stuff-is-better-than-compressed-air-for-cleaning-your-dirty-tech\u002F\" target=\"_blank\"\u003EThis stuff is better than compressed air for cleaning your dirty tech\u003C\u002Fa\u003E\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EJust as cool is how the Combo j7+ will take pictures of objects it encounters to better understand your home.

The fact that Black Friday is one of the last major shopping events of the year results in some retailers giving big discounts on the current product stock in preparation for new devices launching in the new year.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch3\u003EWhat's the difference between Black Friday and Cyber Monday?\u003C\u002Fh3\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThough there are many online deals, Black Friday has been historically a mostly in-person shopping event where people visit a brick-and-mortar store. With most big box stores featuring an online store, Black Friday online shopping has become as common as Amazon Prime Day shopping.

At only 12.6 inches wide, it's about 0.3 inches narrower than the Eufy X9 Pro robot vacuum mop, which had been my super mop until the X2 Omni arrived.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cdiv data-shortcode=\"image\" data-uuid=\"a7508a7b-1a6a-40f7-afd4-7441bb6cd469\" data-size=\"original\" data-float=\"none\" data-image-caption=\"\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\" data-image-credit=\"Maria Diaz\u002FZDNET\" data-image-alt-text=\"Ecovacs Deebot X2 Omni\" data-image-filename=\"deebot4.jpg\" data-image-date-created=\"2023\u002F10\u002F02\" data-image-width=\"8064\" data-image-height=\"4536\" data-image-do-not-crop=\"false\" data-image-do-not-resize=\"false\" data-image-watermark=\"false\" data-lightbox=\"false\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fdiv\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAlthough 0.3 inches sounds like a small difference in size, it's proven to be considerable when a robot has to navigate through furniture legs. Case in point: the Eufy X9 Pro uses AI to avoid objects, but whenever I sent it to clean the first floor, it'd get stuck between the kitchen barstools legs. The stools are fairly lightweight, so the robot would drag them around instead of signaling it was stuck. I'd see my kitchen barstools gliding around my floor or randomly find one hanging out by the shoe bench.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAlso:\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.zdnet.com\u002Fhome-and-office\u002Fbest-irobot-vacuum\u002F\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EThe best iRobot vacuums\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E\u003C\u002Fa\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThis isn't a big deal and is highly subjective, so it's not something I included in my Eufy review; it's not the robot's fault that it's the exact size as the width of the distance between my barstool's legs.

The Deebot X2 is prone to navigation issues after a while; I'm not sure why. It appears to be a software issue, but it sometimes goes out to clean and returns home a few minutes later, announcing the job is complete. It's like it loses its recorded map. I've found remapping fixes this problem, but it happens again weeks later, so it's a problem that won't be fixed until a firmware update corrects it. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch2\u003EA new level of voice control\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\u003Cdiv data-shortcode=\"image\" data-uuid=\"05fe4c59-deb9-4abf-8100-4940bc9f7146\" data-size=\"original\" data-float=\"none\" data-image-caption=\"\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\" data-image-credit=\"Maria Diaz\u002FZDNET\" data-image-alt-text=\"Ecovacs Deebot X2 Omni\" data-image-filename=\"deebot3.jpg\" data-image-date-created=\"2023\u002F10\u002F02\" data-image-width=\"8064\" data-image-height=\"4536\" data-image-do-not-crop=\"false\" data-image-do-not-resize=\"false\" data-image-watermark=\"false\" data-lightbox=\"false\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fdiv\u003E\u003Cp\u003EVoice control makes everything in my home easier.

The fact that Black Friday is one of the last major shopping events of the year results in some retailers giving big discounts on the current product stock in preparation for new devices launching in the new year.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch3\u003EWhat's the difference between Black Friday and Cyber Monday?\u003C\u002Fh3\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThough there are many online deals, Black Friday has been historically a mostly in-person shopping event where people visit a brick-and-mortar store. With most big box stores featuring an online store, Black Friday online shopping has become as common as Amazon Prime Day shopping. Cyber Monday began and remains an online shopping event for online stores to capitalize on customers who may have missed a Black Friday deal and can shop from home or work on Monday.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch3\u003EHow did we choose these Cyber Monday deals?\u003C\u002Fh3\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAs a robot vacuum tester at ZDNET, I've become familiar with these devices' unique features and tested different models in every price range.

Using our expertise and different tools to track deals, we can determine when a deal is worth it and ensure we only cover those.

Case in point: the Eufy X9 Pro uses AI to avoid objects, but whenever I sent it to clean the first floor, it'd get stuck between the kitchen barstools legs. The stools are fairly lightweight, so the robot would drag them around instead of signaling it was stuck.

The Deebot X2 is prone to navigation issues after a while; I'm not sure why. It appears to be a software issue, but it sometimes goes out to clean and returns home a few minutes later, announcing the job is complete. It's like it loses its recorded map.

I'm happy to say that this dream became a reality with the Luba 2, and although it has its quirks, it handles the chore of lawn mowing with efficiency and ease. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cdiv data-shortcode=\"cnetlisticle\" data-id=\"1fe4e93c-24bc-4b8b-908f-19ac782aa901\" data-edition=\"us\" data-description=\"\u003Cp\u003EThe Mammotion Luba 2 is a GPS robot mower with no boundary wires that can expertly navigate uneven terrain, with an AWD capable of handling slopes of up to 38 degrees.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\" data-hed=\"Mammotion Luba 2\" data-imagegroup=\"{"alt":"Mammotion Luba 2 robot mower","caption":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E","credits":"Maria Diaz\u002FZDNET","imageData":{"id":"f3edceca-4641-4740-aea3-e69c8042a82c","title":"Mammotion Luba 2 robot mower","filename":"6.png","path":"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.zdnet.com\u002Fa\u002Fimg\u002F2024\u002F05\u002F10\u002Ff3edceca-4641-4740-aea3-e69c8042a82c\u002F6.png","caption":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E","size":5739939,"width":2196,"height":1236,"dateCreated":{"date":"2024-05-10 13:30:41","timezone":"UTC","timezone_type":3},"dateUpdated":{"date":"2024-05-10 13:31:00","timezone":"UTC","timezone_type":3},"needsModeration":false,"mimeType":"image\u002Fpng","deleted":false,"credits":"Maria Diaz\u002FZDNET","alt":"Mammotion Luba 2 robot mower","restricted":false,"startDate":null,"endDate":null,"preferred":false,"watermark":false,"doNotCrop":false,"doNotResize":false,"primaryCollection":null,"vanityUrl":null,"notes":null,"crop":null,"cropGravity":0,"preservedRegion":null,"isNew":false,"keywords":[],"primeColor":null,"hasWarning":false,"typeName":"content_image"},"uuid":"f3edceca-4641-4740-aea3-e69c8042a82c","imageAltText":"Mammotion Luba 2 robot mower","imageCaption":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E","imageCredit":"Maria Diaz\u002FZDNET","imageDoNotCrop":false,"imageDoNotResize":false,"imageWatermark":false,"imageFilename":"6.png","imageDateCreated":"2024\u002F05\u002F10","imageWidth":2196,"imageHeight":1236,"imageParallax":"","imageCrop":"","imageEnlarge":false}\" data-overridecaption=\"\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\" data-overridecredit=\"Maria Diaz\u002FZDNET\" data-linktext=\"ZDNET RECOMMENDS\" data-linkurl=\"Design: Mini Listicle\" data-merchantoffers=\"[{"useMonetization":true,"monetizedUrl":"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.amazon.com\u002FLUBA-AWD-3000H-Compatible-Anti-Theft\u002Fdp\u002FB0CQQF3X9Z?tag=zdnet-buy-button-20","offerMerchant":"Amazon","offerPrice":"","offerPriceRange":"","offerPriceText":"","offerType":"Single Product","monetizationStatus":"on","rawUrl":"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.amazon.com\u002Fdp\u002FB0CRB2VT5D?th=1","url":"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.amazon.com\u002FLUBA-AWD-3000H-Compatible-Anti-Theft\u002Fdp\u002FB0CQQF3X9Z?tag=zdnet-buy-button-20"}]\" data-usepricing=\"true\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fdiv\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWhen I received the Mammotion Luba 2 for review, the only wire-free GPS robot mower I'd previously used was the \u003Cspan data-shortcode=\"commercelinkshortcode\" data-id=\"088e2a3d-8f9c-4e77-81b5-f5f491688d53\" data-raw-url=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.amazon.com\u002FEF-ECOFLOW-Boundaries-Auto-Route-Water-Resistant\u002Fdp\u002FB0BXPH2TBG\" data-link-shortcode-text=\"EcoFlow Blade\" data-use-monetization=\"true\" data-edition=\"us\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fspan\u003E.

This results in missed patches and the mower winding up outside the coverage area. In my testing, the Luba 2 never fell victim to this glitch.

But it would be best to consider what you're getting for that price, plus the fact that you'll likely be able to find it discounted during other sales events, like Prime Day.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EEven though robot vacuums and mops seem to get more expensive with each launch, a robot vacuum and mop with these specs, plus a self-emptying and self-washing station, would've cost $1,400 a year or two ago.

This year, Black Friday is on Nov. 29.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003ESince Thanksgiving is always on a Thursday, many people are off through the weekend, so retailers have capitalized on this day, the last national holiday before Christmas.

The fact that Black Friday is one of the last major shopping events of the year results in some retailers giving big discounts on the current product stock in preparation for new devices launching in the new year.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch3\u003EWhat's the difference between Black Friday and Cyber Monday?\u003C\u002Fh3\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThough there are now many online deals, Black Friday has been historically a mostly in-person shopping event where people visit a brick-and-mortar store. With most big box stores featuring an online store, Black Friday online shopping has become as common as Amazon Prime Day shopping. Cyber Monday began and remains an online shopping event for online stores to capitalize on customers who may have missed a Black Friday deal and can shop from home or work on Monday.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch3\u003EHow did we choose these Black Friday deals?\u003C\u002Fh3\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAs a robot vacuum tester at ZDNET, I've become familiar with these devices' unique features and tested various models in every price range.

It also helps me discern which robot vacuums are worth their retail price and when a discount is a good deal.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EI check robot vacuum deals often, always choosing the ones that deliver the most features for the least money. Using our expertise and different tools to track deals, we can determine when a deal is worth it and ensure we only cover those.

This includes your local businesses and big box stores. Black Friday is a huge shopping event, both in-person and online, with stores like Walmart, Best Buy, Amazon, Target, Costco, and more offering eye-popping discounts on different

The fact that Black Friday is one of the last major shopping events of the year results in some retailers giving big discounts on the current product stock in preparation for new devices launching in the new year.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch3\u003EWhat's the difference between Black Friday and Cyber Monday?\u003C\u002Fh3\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThough there are many online deals, Black Friday has been historically a mostly in-person shopping event where people visit a brick-and-mortar store. With most big box stores featuring an online store, Black Friday online shopping has become as common as Amazon Prime Day shopping. Cyber Monday began and remains an online shopping event for online stores to capitalize on customers who may have missed a Black Friday deal and can shop from home or work on Monday.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch3\u003EHow did we choose these Cyber Monday deals?\u003C\u002Fh3\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAs a robot vacuum tester at ZDNET, I've become familiar with these devices' unique features and tested different models in every price range.

Using our expertise and different tools to track deals, we can determine when a deal is worth it and ensure we only cover those.

Case in point: the Eufy X9 Pro uses AI to avoid objects, but whenever I sent it to clean the first floor, it'd get stuck between the kitchen barstools legs. The stools are fairly lightweight, so the robot would drag them around instead of signaling it was stuck.

The Deebot X2 is prone to navigation issues after a while; I'm not sure why. It appears to be a software issue, but it sometimes goes out to clean and returns home a few minutes later, announcing the job is complete. It's like it loses its recorded map.

I'm happy to say that this dream became a reality with the Luba 2, and although it has its quirks, it handles the chore of lawn mowing with efficiency and ease. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cdiv data-shortcode=\"cnetlisticle\" data-id=\"1fe4e93c-24bc-4b8b-908f-19ac782aa901\" data-edition=\"us\" data-description=\"\u003Cp\u003EThe Mammotion Luba 2 is a GPS robot mower with no boundary wires that can expertly navigate uneven terrain, with an AWD capable of handling slopes of up to 38 degrees.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\" data-hed=\"Mammotion Luba 2\" data-imagegroup=\"{"alt":"Mammotion Luba 2 robot mower","caption":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E","credits":"Maria Diaz\u002FZDNET","imageData":{"id":"f3edceca-4641-4740-aea3-e69c8042a82c","title":"Mammotion Luba 2 robot mower","filename":"6.png","path":"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.zdnet.com\u002Fa\u002Fimg\u002F2024\u002F05\u002F10\u002Ff3edceca-4641-4740-aea3-e69c8042a82c\u002F6.png","caption":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E","size":5739939,"width":2196,"height":1236,"dateCreated":{"date":"2024-05-10 13:30:41","timezone":"UTC","timezone_type":3},"dateUpdated":{"date":"2024-05-10 13:31:00","timezone":"UTC","timezone_type":3},"needsModeration":false,"mimeType":"image\u002Fpng","deleted":false,"credits":"Maria Diaz\u002FZDNET","alt":"Mammotion Luba 2 robot mower","restricted":false,"startDate":null,"endDate":null,"preferred":false,"watermark":false,"doNotCrop":false,"doNotResize":false,"primaryCollection":null,"vanityUrl":null,"notes":null,"crop":null,"cropGravity":0,"preservedRegion":null,"isNew":false,"keywords":[],"primeColor":null,"hasWarning":false,"typeName":"content_image"},"uuid":"f3edceca-4641-4740-aea3-e69c8042a82c","imageAltText":"Mammotion Luba 2 robot mower","imageCaption":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E","imageCredit":"Maria Diaz\u002FZDNET","imageDoNotCrop":false,"imageDoNotResize":false,"imageWatermark":false,"imageFilename":"6.png","imageDateCreated":"2024\u002F05\u002F10","imageWidth":2196,"imageHeight":1236,"imageParallax":"","imageCrop":"","imageEnlarge":false}\" data-overridecaption=\"\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\" data-overridecredit=\"Maria Diaz\u002FZDNET\" data-linktext=\"ZDNET RECOMMENDS\" data-linkurl=\"Design: Mini Listicle\" data-merchantoffers=\"[{"useMonetization":true,"monetizedUrl":"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.amazon.com\u002FLUBA-AWD-3000H-Compatible-Anti-Theft\u002Fdp\u002FB0CQQF3X9Z?tag=zdnet-buy-button-20","offerMerchant":"Amazon","offerPrice":"","offerPriceRange":"","offerPriceText":"","offerType":"Single Product","monetizationStatus":"on","rawUrl":"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.amazon.com\u002Fdp\u002FB0CRB2VT5D?th=1","url":"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.amazon.com\u002FLUBA-AWD-3000H-Compatible-Anti-Theft\u002Fdp\u002FB0CQQF3X9Z?tag=zdnet-buy-button-20"}]\" data-usepricing=\"true\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fdiv\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWhen I received the Mammotion Luba 2 for review, the only wire-free GPS robot mower I'd previously used was the \u003Cspan data-shortcode=\"commercelinkshortcode\" data-id=\"088e2a3d-8f9c-4e77-81b5-f5f491688d53\" data-raw-url=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.amazon.com\u002FEF-ECOFLOW-Boundaries-Auto-Route-Water-Resistant\u002Fdp\u002FB0BXPH2TBG\" data-link-shortcode-text=\"EcoFlow Blade\" data-use-monetization=\"true\" data-edition=\"us\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fspan\u003E.

This results in missed patches and the mower winding up outside the coverage area. In my testing, the Luba 2 never fell victim to this glitch.

But it would be best to consider what you're getting for that price, plus the fact that you'll likely be able to find it discounted during other sales events, like Prime Day.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EEven though robot vacuums and mops seem to get more expensive with each launch, a robot vacuum and mop with these specs, plus a self-emptying and self-washing station, would've cost $1,400 a year or two ago.

This year, Black Friday is on Nov. 29.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003ESince Thanksgiving is always on a Thursday, many people are off through the weekend, so retailers have capitalized on this day, the last national holiday before Christmas. This makes Black Friday a great chance to finish checking off your holiday shopping list.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch3\u003EWhen is Cyber Monday?\u003C\u002Fh3\u003E\u003Cp\u003ECyber Monday happens on the Monday following the Thanksgiving holiday.

The fact that Black Friday is one of the last major shopping events of the year results in some retailers giving big discounts on the current product stock in preparation for new devices launching in the new year.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch3\u003EWhat's the difference between Black Friday and Cyber Monday?\u003C\u002Fh3\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThough there are now many online deals, Black Friday has been historically a mostly in-person shopping event where people visit a brick-and-mortar store. With most big box stores featuring an online store, Black Friday online shopping has become as common as Amazon Prime Day shopping. Cyber Monday began and remains an online shopping event for online stores to capitalize on customers who may have missed a Black Friday deal and can shop from home or work on Monday.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch3\u003EHow did we choose these Black Friday deals?\u003C\u002Fh3\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAs a robot vacuum tester at ZDNET, I've become familiar with these devices' unique features and tested various models in every price range. This experience has made me realize that the robot vacuum market is saturated with competition. It also helps me discern which robot vacuums are worth their retail price and when a discount is a good deal.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EI check robot vacuum deals often, always choosing the ones that deliver the most features for the least money. Using our expertise and different tools to track deals, we can determine when a deal is worth it and ensure we only cover those. This list of deals will be updated as new deals appear and others sell out.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch3\u003EWhere can you shop the best Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals? \u003C\u002Fh3\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWhile retailers hold store-specific shopping events throughout the year, like Amazon with Prime Day, you can expect Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals to appear everywhere. This includes your local businesses and big box stores. Black Friday is a huge shopping event, both in-person and online, with stores like Walmart, Best Buy, Amazon, Target, Costco, and more offering eye-popping discounts on different products.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cdiv data-shortcode=\"pinbox\" data-uuid=\"83511191-1b07-4c24-92ec-d985f062f58c\" data-uri=\"\u002Fapi\u002Fcomponent\u002Feditorial\u002F83511191-1b07-4c24-92ec-d985f062f58c\" data-float=\"none\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fdiv\u003E",gallery:c,category:c,children:c,contentType:b,contentUrl:b,coreImages:c,date:c,datePublished:{created:c,date:"2024-11-18 18:51:12",timezone:"UTC",updated:c,published:c},description:"Black Friday and Cyber Monday are just over a week away, but you can already find huge discounts on robot vacuums, including from top brands like Roborock.",filterKey:c,filterLabel:c,genreGroups:c,icon:b,nodeId:b,subCategory:c,id:"9f3549e4-5968-4709-85c1-0070e0ab2463",image:{id:"530f514a-734c-4a9c-9df2-98c8f9908f99",filename:"roborock-deals.jpg",dateCreated:{created:c,date:"2024-11-15 23:43:13",timezone:"UTC",updated:c,published:c},alt:"Roborock Deals Black Friday Cyber Monday",credits:"Maria Diaz\u002FZDNET",caption:"\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E",path:"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.zdnet.com\u002Fa\u002Fimg\u002F2024\u002F11\u002F15\u002F530f514a-734c-4a9c-9df2-98c8f9908f99\u002Froborock-deals.jpg",cropGravity:o,crop:c,typeName:"content_image",imageUrl:c,width:1920,height:1080,bucketPath:c,bucketType:c,title:c},label:b,metaData:{typeTitle:"deals-roundup",hubTopicPathString:"Home & Office^Kitchen & Household^Robot vacuums",relatedItems:[]},name:b,promoTitle:b,section:b,slug:"best-black-friday-roborock-deals-2024",startYear:c,summary:b,title:"The best Black Friday Roborock deals 2024: Early sales available now",topic:{id:"adea933c-2b45-4d23-8c0e-a75e69518d9e",slug:"robot-vacuums",name:"Robot vacuums",typeName:"content_topic",uuid:b,primary:d,topicPath:[]},topics:[{id:"adea933c-2b45-4d23-8c0e-a75e69518d9e",slug:"robot-vacuums",name:"Robot vacuums",typeName:"content_topic",uuid:b,primary:a,topicPath:[]},{id:"3414bf30-82eb-4a6a-a561-f193482f1643",slug:"artificial-intelligence",name:"Artificial Intelligence",typeName:"content_topic",uuid:b,primary:d,topicPath:[]},{id:"35466bd1-f8e5-4cca-9c22-561ce4c0af03",slug:"smart-home",name:"Smart Home",typeName:"content_topic",uuid:b,primary:d,topicPath:[]},{id:"9841d7c0-1be2-42d4-963b-3d0c080290bc",slug:"tech",name:"Tech",typeName:"content_topic",uuid:b,primary:d,topicPath:[]},{id:i,slug:"robotics",name:"Robotics",typeName:"content_topic",uuid:b,primary:d,topicPath:[]}],hubTopicPathString:c,type:"content_article",typeName:b,url:b,isSponsored:d},{author:{id:"0a6fffc2-2220-44ba-99e4-4c567f6f57bb",username:"maria-diaz-zd",profileUrl:c,email:c,firstName:"Maria",lastName:"Diaz",jobTitle:c,dateCreated:{created:c,date:c,timezone:c,updated:c,published:c},image:{id:"d89921b7-c002-40ef-8401-f002f1a769e9",filename:"maria-diaz.jpg",dateCreated:{created:c,date:"2022-08-05 14:44:33",timezone:"UTC",updated:c,published:c},alt:c,credits:c,caption:c,path:"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.zdnet.com\u002Fa\u002Fimg\u002F2022\u002F08\u002F05\u002Fd89921b7-c002-40ef-8401-f002f1a769e9\u002Fmaria-diaz.jpg",cropGravity:c,crop:c,typeName:"content_image",imageUrl:c,width:c,height:c,bucketPath:c,bucketType:c,title:c},socialProfileIds:c,authorBio:"Maria Diaz is a staff writer based in the Raleigh-Durham, NC area with a passion for home automation and a background in graphic design, photography, and filmmaking.
