You can buy Tapo's terrific robot vacuum for just $200 right now
Our favorite budget-friendly robot vacuum offers high-end features, including room-specific cleaning, a capable mop, carpet boost, and smart navigation. It also features an auto-empty dock.
Despite costing significantly less than the aforementioned premium models, the RV30 Max Plus doesn't skimp on features, which is why it's our favorite budget robovac. With 5,300Pa of suction power, it easily sucks up cereal, dust, and debris from hard floors. Its wide mop pad and large 300ml water tank also allow for solid mopping performance, while the vac's customizable, room-specific cleaning allows you to choose between five suction levels, three flow settings, and three adjustable mop rotations.
Navigation is another area where the RV30 Max Plus punches above its weight. The robot vacuum's smart, lidar-based system enables it to map and navigate your home with precision, and Tapo's intuitive app allows you to set both virtual walls and no-go zones. Notably, you can even set the direction in which it cleans and store up to four distinct floor maps, which is something typically reserved for more premium models.
Of course, given it's a relatively cheap robovac, there are a few features Tapo sacrificed to keep costs down. It lacks AI-powered obstacle detection, for example, meaning you'll need to pick up any stray cables, socks, and other objects that might get in the way while running it. Its 2,600mAh battery also isn't the most robust, and charging can take a while. Still, if you're looking to expedite your cleaning on a budget, the RV30 Max Plus is a solid value, especially with this Prime Day discount.

The top 5 dorm room mattress deals live this weekend — starting from $96
There's plenty of research underscoring the fact good quality sleep bolsters good grades in academic endeavours. For example, a 2024 U.S. study by researchers at Stony Brook University found a link between irregular sleep and late bedtimes and lower grades. While there's ample sleep gadgets and products (find them in our hub of the best 35+ back to school sleep deals) you can take to college to help you get those quality ZZZs, a supportive, yet affordable, mattress for college students should be top of your dorm room shopping list. From 25% off at Lucid to discounts of up to $80 on the Siena mattress at Amazon, there are big savings to be had this weekend. I've been tracking the prices and mattress sales of these cheap beds and can assure you you'll be getting a great value, quality mattress to see you through your studies if you shop one of the five deals below. 1. Siena 10" Signature Mattress: full was $229 now $179 at AmazonWe think the Siena Mattress is simply the best budget mattress you can buy online this year. Budget-friendly, supportive and built to last throughout your college years, it's a student's dream. The only minor downside is its firmness — our review team found it a bit too firm for most side sleepers. However, it's an excellent choice for back and stomach sleepers. You'll get the best price on this foam bed at Amazon right now where you can get up to 31% off. This means you can snap up a twin size for just $109 (was $149), a twin XL for $149 (was $189) and a full for $159 (was $229). It also comes with a 10-year warranty and a 180-night sleep trial. 2. Brooklyn Bedding Standard 10" Hybrid Mattress: full was $265 now $188 at WalmartFinding a budget-friendly, top-rated hybrid mattress can be tough as most low-cost options tend to be all-foam. But if you like the responsive feel, reliable support and breathability offered by springs, this Brooklyn Bedding deal at Walmart is a great find. And you won't want to miss the unbeatable prices we're currently seeing on the 10" Brooklyn Bedding Standard mattress. A twin is currently just $138 (down from $200), a twin XL is $148.75 (was $209), and a full size is only $188 (originally $265). Brooklyn Bedding is one of our most trusted mattress brands for cooling mattresses that help you get comfortable sleep night after night, and a full size mattress from a brand of such prestige for under $200 is outstanding value. Plus you get free shipping and limited lifetime warranty. 3. Zinus 8" Green Tea Memory Foam Mattress: full was 186.99 now $129 at AmazonWe rate the 10" Zinus Green Tea Memory Foam Mattress as the best cheap mattress for side sleepers thanks to its supportive, pressure-relieving foam hug. Just a little shorter than the model we reviewed, we're sure this 8" Zinus mattress at Amazon will be equally comfortable. It's available in four heights (6", 8", 10", 12") and five sizes (twin, full, queen, short queen and king). Not all models are discounted at Amazon right now, but you can get a 8" full size for just $129 (was $186.99) or a 6" twin for just $95.20 (was $118.99), which is great value on a foam mattress with gel infusions providing better temperature regulation. 4. Serta 7" Sertapedic Firm Mattress: full was $211.94 now $179 at Walmart The new 4.4-star rated Sertapedic is a quilted innerspring mattress featuring a coil system for durability and support along with Serta's PillowSoft Aire foam for enhanced breathability and cushioning. As a firm bed, it is best suited to back and stomach sleepers who appreciate a solid, responsive sleep surface. Currently reduced at Walmart all sizes up to a queen fall under $200. Twin XL and full sizes are going for $179 (were $203.83 and $211.94 respectively) and a twin is $129 (was $182.24). These are unbeatable prices on a hybrid mattress made with CertiPUR-US certified materials. 5. Lucid 10" Memory Foam Mattress: full was $309.99 now $220.87 at LucidWith a line-up of already-affordable beds, Lucid don't often run huge sales. But they've changed their tune this summer. The brand's 'back to campus' sale offers 25% off in cart and throws in two free pillows with every mattress purchase. Available in three firmness levels (a customization option we don't usually see with budget beds), the Lucid Memory Foam Mattress is a solid choice for range of sleepers. You can pick up a twin size up for $163.87 (was $229.99), a twin XL for $168.74 (was $249.99), or full for $220.87 (was $309.99). You'll want to let your dorm buddies know about this deal and if you order together you can bag extra savings. Buy two and save an extra 5% or buy three and save an extra 10%.

This Cooling Neck Fan Is Like Having My Own Personal Air Conditioner Everywhere I Go
At CES 2024, I went hands-on with the then-yet-to-launch Torras Coolify Cyber, and I could only imagine how useful it could be in the Delhi summers. Fast-forward to more than a year later, and I've used the wearable air conditioner more times than I can count. It has become one of my favorite gadgets to beat the heat. This wearable neck fan normally goes for $300, but right now it's available for $222 on Amazon -- a 26% discount. The Torras Coolify Cyber is a portable air conditioner worn on the neck. When I first used it, I was impressed by the comfort and air pressure but had doubts about how it would do in the long run and if it would overheat from prolonged use. I'm happy to report that I've been positively surprised and would carry it when traveling to hot, humid places. It features an ergonomic design with a ceramic cooling plate on the part that touches your neck. It's immensely useful alongside the fan vents on hot days. The device didn't feel uncomfortable to wear. I could have it on for at least an hour at a stretch. You can also press and hold a button on the collar to switch to warm air for cold-weather conditions. You can choose from three fan settings for airflow and three temperature modes -- heat, fan and cool -- for the kind of air you need. It's an all-year gadget. Portable, comfortable and easy to use I live in Delhi, where the temperature can cross 50 degrees Celsius (122 degrees Fahrenheit). In that heat, when you're indoors, your only relief is an air conditioner, but when I'm outside, the Torras Coolify Cyber is my go-to gadget. I could forget my phone but not this portable air conditioner. It can get sweaty and uncomfortable when you're active under the sun, but the constant cold airflow makes it manageable. The Torras wearable AC is a must-have for anyone who gets uncomfortable with the weather outside and needs some relief from the ambient air. And with this limited-time deal bringing the price down to $222, now's a good time to give it a try.

Tesla to Pay $243M After Jury Finds It Partly Liable for Fatal Autopilot Crash
Table of Contents Tesla to Pay $243M After Jury Finds It Partly Liable for Fatal Autopilot Crash A federal jury in Florida has found Tesla to be partly liable for a fatal car crash that occurred in 2019 involving its self-driving feature Autopilot. Elon Musk's electric vehicle company must now pay $243 million in damages as a result of the judgment, multiple reports Friday said. Prosecutors filed charges back in 2022 alleging that the driver didn't brake in time when approaching a T-intersection while driving his Tesla Model S with Autopilot active, and as a result killed two passengers in the car he collided with. A Tesla spokesperson told TechCrunch Friday that the verdict is "wrong" and will "set back automotive safety and jeopardize Tesla's and the entire industry's efforts to develop and implement life-saving technology." Tesla plans to appeal, according to the statement. Tesla didn't immediately respond to CNET's request for comment. In California, Tesla is currently in the courts for another case involving Autopilot, where the state DMV is suing for allegations of false advertising and misleading customers. The California DMV alleges that Tesla is misrepresenting the capabilities of its advanced driver assistance systems by naming them "Full Self-Driving" and "Autopilot," and is seeking a 30-day suspension of Tesla's license to sell vehicles in the state.
