From budget bargains to mopping monsters – there’s up to 50% off on Amazon
Tired of vacuuming and mopping the floors in your home yourself? You can always get something else to do it for you, like a robot vacuum cleaner.
With technology having evolved to a point where these autonomous floor cleaners can also clean themselves, requiring minimal effort from you, it’s possible to outsource this chore entirely. And you don’t even have to spend top dollar to do so – with Amazon’s second Prime Day sale of the year currently ongoing, you can pick up a robovac from some of the top brands for a fraction of their price.
Admittedly there’s a risk involved with any smart home technology and that’s the case with the premium robot vacuum cleaners that have an on-board camera (this is used to navigate obstacles). With the recent news about how easy to is to hack an Ecovacs robovac, it’s fair to be cautious when investing in a big-ticket item like this, but you can take precautions – like ensuring your Wi-Fi password is uncrackable and you can always cover the camera if you are worried about privacy.
I’ve tested a lot of robot vacuum cleaners over the years for TechRadar and I’ve picked my top 5 Prime Day robovac deals available on Amazon AU right now – only one of them has an on-board camera and it’s not an Ecovacs. The models on sale include very premium options from Dreame to good-value alternatives from Ecovacs. I’ve also listed affordable Roomba and Eufy robovacs too.
