Dyson’s purple, powerful robovac is on sale for its lowest price ever

Let’s face it: Dyson is better known for vacuum innovation than for selling budget-friendly products. Thankfully, the Dyson 360 Vis Nav — the company’s first robot vacuum in more than a decade — is now available from Amazon, Best Buy, Target, and Dyson for around $799.95 ($200 off), which is easily the best price we’ve seen.

For some people, the 360 Vis Nav’s short battery life, missing AI-powered obstacle avoidance, and lack of an auto-empty dock are real deal breakers — something our own resident smart home reviewer, Jennifer Pattison Tuohy, was quick to point out in her hands-on of the D-shaped vac last year. However, Dyson’s latest robot vacuum isn’t as focused on high-end features as it is on mere power and precision.

For starters, the vacuum touts a whopping 65 air watts of suction, rendering it one of the most powerful models available and the best robot vacuum for carpets we’ve ever tested. It’s also outfitted with a massive roller brush that’s situated at the front, allowing it to reach the edges of your rooms and into corners, along with a large 500ml dustbin that can easily be removed using the integrated handle. You’re only going to get about 65 minutes of runtime, though, and because of its navigation shortcoming, it’s best suited for homes with relatively simple floor plans. Still, if you fall into that bucket, you’d be hard-pressed to find a more powerful model at this price.

More midweek deals and discounts JBL’s excellent Go 4 is still matching its all-time low of around $39.95 ($10 off) at Amazon and Best Buy. The ultra-portable speaker is a great budget buy, with up to seven hours of continuous playback, the ability to pair in stereo mode with a second JBL speaker, and a commendable IP67 rating for water and dust resistance. Plus, unlike a lot of its Bluetooth rivals, it’s available in an array of fun colors, from teal to crimson to camo. If you’ve been hankering to spend more time in a galaxy far, far away following the season 2 finale of Andor, Star Wars Outlaws is currently on sale at Best Buy for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X for $34.99 ($35 off), nearly matching its best price to date. I will admit that the immersive open-world title was a little frustrating out of the gate due to very tedious mechanics — I would know, having put it down for several months — but it has vastly improved post-launch thanks to a series of welcome patches that addressed everything from stealth to shooting mechanics. Read our review. Another of our backyard favorites — the Thermacell E65 Rechargeable Mosquito Repeller — is down to $31.98 (about $8 off) at Amazon, matching its best price to date. The E65 is similar to Thermacell’s other rechargeable spatial models in that it can provide up to 6.5 hours of protection from mosquitoes when paired with a repellent cartridge; however, the latest model also comes with a charging dock to ensure it’s always ready when you need it.
