Robot Vacuum and Cleaning Supply Deals
This Yeedi K650 is small but mighty. It’s Wi-Fi-enabled and compatible with Alexa and Google Assistant, and it has its own app so you can control it remotely with your voice or via touch on your phone. This is our favorite budget robot vacuum, and it’s an even greater value at this price. It doesn’t have fancy mapping features, but it will bounce around from wall to wall as it cleans. We like this one more than other budget robot vacs because of its really long battery life. You can put the money saved toward a $200 self-emptying station.
The Q5+ is our new favorite robot vacuum. The vac maps a room well and navigates methodically throughout, making sure to get every section thoroughly. The best part is that the self-emptying bin is super effective and easy to install. The robot vacuum’s onboard bin is a bit small, but you can have it empty itself more frequently to make up for this. It supports Alexa, Google Assistant, and Siri Shortcuts.
Floors gather a lot of debris, but counters and other flat surfaces are no strangers to dust. The Supernatural Starter Set, featured in our Best Eco-Friendly Cleaning Products guide, can help you keep those surfaces clean more sustainably. Just load the glass spray bottles with water and the contents of the glass concentrate vials (filled with non-toxic minerals and essential oils).
Air Purifier Deals
My air purifier helps stops my snoring, as allergens can cause airways to become more congested, but none of that matters if the machine makes a ton of noise. The Blueair Pure 411 is our favorite quiet air purifier. It’s best for smaller rooms—it can cycle the air in a 161-square-foot room five times per hour. It’s easy to take apart, so installing new filters (a must to make sure your air stays clean) is incredibly intuitive.
If you’re looking for an air purifier to match your decor, the Blueair Pure Fan Auto is one of the top picks in our Best Air Purifiers guide. In addition to being super cute, it’s just as quiet as the Blueair Pure 411 and includes an air quality indicator. But our favorite part is the fact that it doubles as a fan to cool down a room while it purifies—talk about pulling double duty!
Air purifiers can be unwieldy, taking up tons of precious space. Despite the mega in its name, the Coway Airmega is actually compact and kind of cute. In our testing, we noticed that it was quite reactive, increasing its intensity as soon as it detected a drop in air quality.
