Roborock has been making some of the best robot vacuum cleaners for a few years now, and the S8 Plus robot vacuum and mop combo is a big-time winner. The self-emptying charge base keeps your hands free of the dust and debris the robot picks up around the house. When it’s time to mop, the Sonic Mop will scrub your floors 3,000 times per minute. Thanks to the intelligent 3D mapping and obstacle-avoidance system, the Roborock S8 Plus will get your floors clean without an issue.
Many people decorate their homes with string lights only around the holidays. But putting lights up and taking them down is time-consuming, tedious and sometimes dangerous. This is why I really like the Govee outdoor permanent string lights. I’ve had these at my home for two years now, and not only do the lights look great for holidays, but the customizable glow is fantastic throughout the year. These are simple to install and control with your smartphone or by voice when connected to your favorite digital assistant.
Google’s second-generation Nest Hub is a great way to add a lot of smarts to your home, and this deal makes it easier. From acting as a digital photo frame to playing your favorite music, tracking sleep and even controlling other smart home devices, this smart display can do it all.

Smart plugs are a fantastic and easy way to add some smarts to less-than-intelligent appliances. With a smart plug, you can automate your favorite old lamp and control it without using the physical switch. Kasa is one of my favorite smart plugs for many reasons, such as reliability, energy monitoring and ease of use. This four-pack of plugs is also Matter-ready, so you’ll be a little more future-proof than with other devices.
Aside from smart plugs, smart lights are another easy way to add more control over your home’s lighting. These Matter-enabled light bulbs offer a full range of colors and multiple ways to connect and control your lights. For only $5 a bulb, this is an excellent deal if you want to add a few throughout your home.
