This Eufy robot vacuum is half for before Prime Day

Engadget27-06-2025
The Eufy 11S Max robot vacuum is on sale for $140 as part of an early Prime Day sale . That's half off, as the typical cost is $280 for this particular model. This is extremely close to a record-low price.
This device made our list of the best budget-friendly robot vacuums . Perhaps the coolest feature here is that the 11S Max is extremely thin, so it can slide under short tables and other places typical robovacs are too chonky to reach. It's also extremely quiet during use, so it can be operated at night without waking everyone up.
It runs for around 100 minutes per charge and it'll head to the outlet on its own for some juice. The vacuum automatically adapts suction power to suit different floor types. We found the obstacle avoidance here to be excellent, thanks to an included infrared sensor. It also ships with a remote control for those who want to ensure certain parts of the home get extra attention.
This is a budget robovac, so there are some tradeoffs. First of all, it doesn't connect to WiFi and there's no affiliated app. It doesn't really need it, as the obstacle avoidance tech gets the job done, but this does mean that owners can't set schedules or create maps with no-go zones.
Finally, it's just a vacuum. There's no mop here and it doesn't ship with a debris canister. It'll have to get emptied after every use. Still, the price is certainly right.

Amazon Introduces New Colorsoft E-Reader That Costs Less

When Amazon released its first color e-reader, the Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition, last November, some people balked at its $280 price. We've seen it dip to $225 during Prime Day sales events, but Amazon has now released a new lower-priced $250 Colorsoft model with less storage as well as the "first-ever Kindle in color for kids." The two new models are in fact the same device but the Kindle Colorsoft Kids ($270) includes one year of Amazon Kids+, a two-year "worry-free" guarantee (Amazon will replace it if it's damaged, no questions asked) and a "kid-friendly" cover. While the Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition is equipped with 32GB of storage and features wireless charging and an auto-adjusting front light and wireless charging, both new models are equipped with 16GB and leave off the auto-adjusting lighting and wireless-charging features. The new models have the same adjustable warm light as the Signature Edition but you have to adjust it manually (it doesn't auto adjust based on your environmental lighting conditions).

Screenshot by David Carnoy/CNET I gave high marks to the Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition in my review and preferred it to the latest Kindle Paperwhite, which was released at around the same time as the Colorsoft. However, I did say that the "new, improved Kindle Paperwhite or entry-level Kindle are better options for most folks" due to the Colorsoft's high price. Not long after it launched, Amazon had to pause shipments of the Colorsoft after some early users reported having an issue with yellow tinging at the bottom of the Colorsoft's display. When it resumed shipping the device, Amazon noted on the Colorsoft's product page that a small number of customers had reported a yellow band along the bottom of the display and asked any customers who noticed this to reach out to Amazon's customer service team for a replacement or refund. Amazon said that it had had made "the appropriate adjustments to ensure that new devices will not experience this issue moving forward." Watch this: Kindle Colorsoft Review: Amazon's New Luxury E-Reader 07:48 However, several users posted negative reviews of the Colorsoft, making it Amazon's worst-rated Kindle e-reader (by its users). These are the hazards of releasing a premium product that doesn't quite live up to people's expectations, especially for those who might be expecting a similar color experience to that of a tablet with a color LCD, not a color E Ink display, which looks a little washed out by comparison. Also, it's worth noting that the resolution is cut in half for color elements on the Colorsoft. The color resolution is only 150 pixels per inch for color, while it's 300 ppi for black and white. 150 ppi lacks some crispness, but it's still nice to see e-book covers in color, and having color brings comic books, graphic novels and images more to life. Some people will appreciate that you can also highlight text in different colors like you would with real-world highlighter pens.

Amazon Gave Prime Day Shoppers More Time to Browse. Many Went to Walmart.

(Bloomberg) — Inc (AMZN). executives doubled the length of their summer Prime Day sale this year to give customers extra time to browse the vast selection of deals and discounts. There was a downside. With rising prices top of mind, shoppers surfed the web comparing deals, and a lot of their dollars went to Walmart Inc. (WMT) instead. Trump Awards $1.26 Billion Contract to Build Biggest Immigrant Detention Center in US Why the Federal Reserve's Building Renovation Costs $2.5 Billion The High Costs of Trump's 'Big Beautiful' New Car Loan Deduction Salt Lake City Turns Winter Olympic Bid Into Statewide Bond Boom Walmart's weeklong 'Deals' event that ended July 13 outperformed Amazon's longest-ever Prime Day by several metrics. Spending on grew by 24% from its comparable deal period a year ago, six times faster than Amazon Prime Day's year-over-year growth, according to credit and debit card transaction data compiled by Bloomberg Second Measure. Walmart's web traffic increased 14% while Amazon's was flat, and Walmart's app use grew by 22% compared with Amazon's 3%, according to consumer research firm Similarweb. Amazon still dominates the $1.3 trillion e-commerce market in the US, capturing an estimated 40 cents of every dollar spent online, and Walmart's online metrics are growing from a smaller base. Amazon's 403 million web visits during its four-day sale didn't grow from a year earlier but were still nearly six times those on Walmart for the same period. But Walmart's online momentum shows loyal Amazon shoppers can be lured away with discounts. Second Measure, which gathers data from a panel of 20 million US consumers, captured this phenomenon — showing that 8% of Amazon Prime Day customers also shopped online at Walmart this year, up from 5% in 2024. Competing sales give shoppers a greater sense of control during economic uncertainty, encouraging them to spend, said Deborah Weinswig, chief executive officer of Coresight Research in New York. 'Shoppers are more willing to do the work and navigate across multiple websites,' she said. 'We saw people spending a lot more time browsing and comparing prices.' In an emailed statement, an Amazon spokesperson said: 'These third-party data do not accurately reflect the highly positive customer response to this year's Prime Day, which saw meaningfully stronger growth and customer engagement than suggested and delivered record-breaking sales and savings that surpassed all previous Prime Day events.' Amazon launched its summer sale in 2015 to attract new Prime members who pay $139 a year for shipping discounts, video streaming and other perks. Before long, rival retailers started offering competing events. In an effort to capture the surge in spending, Adobe Inc. began measuring sales for all US retailers during the Amazon event. This year, over the four-day period ending July 11, those sales increased 30.3% to $24.1 billion, according to the firm. Walmart is Amazon's biggest online threat thanks to its size and ability to negotiate low prices. Five years ago, the company launched its own membership program to rival Amazon's. Called Walmart+, it offers similar perks to Amazon Prime for $98 a year. Walmart has also been beefing up its marketplace business, which hosts third-party merchants. The company said almost three times as many sellers participated in its sale than a year ago, helping the retailer boost its product assortment. Shantel Bew, a 52-year-old project manager at a telecommunications firm, shopped both Amazon and Walmart during their sales. 'I was surprised by the cost of things at Amazon,' said Bew, who splurged on apartment essentials for her daughter's move to law school. She dropped $1,600 on Walmart for a couch, mattress and bed frame, cocktail table, barstools and other furniture. She spent $378 on Amazon for pots and pans, a dish rack, cutlery and other kitchen items. Measuring spending on Amazon during Prime Day is a tricky endeavor. The dates shift, and the company doesn't consistently release key performance metrics about the sale. Amazon said this year's Prime Day was 'bigger than any previous four-day period that included a Prime Day event.' Firms that work with online merchants can provide a window into what's happening during the sale. Momentum Commerce, a brand adviser that tracked $750 million in US Amazon transactions across a variety of product categories and price points, said spending rose 4.9% during this year's event. After the first day of the sale, Momentum had projected 9.1% growth. Second Measure arrived at a similar estimate of 4%. Both firms compared the Prime Day 2025 sale to last year's two-day event plus the following two days. Analysts and investors watched this year's Prime Day especially closely for hints of consumer sentiment amid a trade war that has clouded the economic outlook. Tariffs tend to be inflationary because they push up the cost of imported goods. But because tariff negotiations are ongoing, it's difficult to know where prices will settle — making shoppers skittish but willing to splurge if they spot a deal on something they need. Amazon Prime Day shoppers favored everyday essentials like dish soap and paper plates over more expensive televisions and luxury goods. Walmart sold a lot of socks and underwear, and benefited from an earlier-than-normal back-to-school season, with shoppers snatching up crayons and glue sticks. 'Consumers saw it as a chance to stock up,' said Katherine Black, a partner at consultancy Kearney.
