Robot vacuums
Why we like it
A LiDAR-equipped robot vacuum for less than $200 is rare. It’s even rarer to find one that can actually find the rooms it maps. On sale for $198, this Eufy model uses LiDAR and iPath laser navigation to remember the layout of your home as well as no-go zones. Suction wise, it administers 3,000 Pa of suction and boosts suction on dirtier areas or carpet.

Robot vacuum and mop hybrids
Why we like it
In Summer 2022, Roborock debuted two mid-range self-emptiers (compared to its S7 and S8 series self-emptiers, which start at $949.88.) Both use LiDAR to map your home and head to the rooms you specify, deploying hearty suction and emptying into a compact dock. The Q7 Max+ is the hybrid of the pair, but you’ll have to create a no-go zone to avoid getting carpets wet.

Upright and cordless vacuums
Why we like it
The Dyson V12 Detect Slim is one of our favorite vacuums because it offers the best features of the supersized V15 Detect at a much more accessible price point — usually. However, a pre-Prime Day sale at Dyson knocks the V15’s price to $599.99, actually making it cheaper than the less powerful V12 Detect Slim Absolute(opens in a new tab), which isn’t currently on sale. “Absolute” signifies that this V15 iteration also includes two extra attachments — a low-reach adapter and a fabric and mattress tool — that don’t come with every Dyson.
The V15 Detect Absolute features Dyson’s iconic green laser that highlights dust that you wouldn’t see otherwise. Compared to the V12, it has a larger dustbin and double the battery, with an hour of run time at a full charge.
