Eufy's Omni C20 mopping robovac is $300 off for a limited time
After a long week, the last thing I want to do is clean my floors (they're seriously overdue for a cleaning). Busting out the vacuum and mopping can be tiring. That's why I'm a big fan of robot vacuums, especially ones with built-in mops that can handle all the cleaning on their own. Speaking of, you can pick up the Eufy Robot Vacuum Omni C20 at Amazon and Eufy for $399.98 ($300 off), matching its all-time low. This deal may be around for just a matter of hours. The Omni C20 is one of Eufy's newer vacuum and mopping combo units that offers several automated cleaning features to make your life easier. The all-in-one station can empty, wash, dry, and refill the C20 between cleanings. It can also wash then dry the mop, so the robovac doesn't wind up smelling like a gym locker while it roams your house. A transparent water tank allows you to easily monitor water levels without having to open the all-in-one station. It features two sweeping and mopping modules, each capable of 180 rotations per minute. That should be enough to remove most tough stains on your floors. Additionally, the Omni C20 features adequate suction (7,000Pa), a rolling brush, and a side brush, all of which allow it to tackle dirt, crumbs, and pet hair. Speaking of hair, the robovac includes a 'pro-detangle comb,' which can loosen and remove tangled hair from the brush. That said, anti-tangle brushes can be hit or miss, so it's always a good idea to clean it manually. While we haven't had the opportunity to test the Omni C20, our experience with Eufy robovacs has been generally positive. We chose the Eufy X10 Pro Omni as the best midrange robot vacuum / mop combo, and the Omni C20 offers a similar suite of features. However, the Omni C20 doesn't support obstacle avoidance, which means it may run over wires, socks, toys, and even pet messes. So, looks like you'll still have a little bit of pre-cleaning to do.

Deal: Get 3 Blink Outdoor 4 security cameras at a record-low price
If you're thinking of keeping an eye on your home when away, security cameras have never been as accessible and user-friendly as they are right now. And deals can get really nice. For example, this 3-pack of Blink Outdoor 4 cameras is only $99.99. That is a whopping $160 discount on the retail price! Buy a Blink Outdoor 4 3-Pack for just $99.99 ($160 off) This offer is available from Amazon, which actually owns the Blink brand. It's a 'limited time deal,' so we're not sure how long the offer will last. With three cameras, you can cover quite a bit of your house, and in terms of pricing, it certainly beats buying single units. I mean, it's only $99.99, effectively reducing the price to just $33.33 per unit. The Blink Outdoor 4 is also a really nice security camera. It is very easy to install, set up, and use. It's also very small and discreet, so it won't stick out like a sore thumb. It requires no wiring, and each unit utilizes a couple of standard AA batteries to operate. While some of us prefer a built-in rechargeable battery, this won't be much of an issue, as battery life is estimated at a whole two years. You won't be changing these very often. It's also quite a good security camera for its price and size. The Blink Outdoor 4 can record at Full HD 1,080p resolution. It also supports plenty of features, such as motion detection, person detection, infrared night vision, two-way audio, and more. As its name entails, this one is meant to work outdoors, so it is also weather-resistant. Rain should cause no issues here. The one thing to keep in mind is that most security cameras need a subscription to access all features. The Blink Outdoor 4 isn't the exception. You can learn more about Blink subscriptions here. A subscription will get you access to things like cloud storage, person detection, and more. And if you prefer, you can store clips locally using the Blink Sync Module XR, using a microSD card. Again, this is a record-low price for this bundle! Jump on it while you can. These offers don't usually last long. Extra deal: The Ring Outdoor Cam 3-Pack is also on sale If you want to upgrade, you can also save on this Ring Outdoor Cam 3-Pack (previously known as the Ring Stick Up Cam). You can get a 3-pack for $149.97, instead of the $219.99 regular price point. It also comes with Full HD resolution, two-way audio, motion detection, person detection, and more. As an added benefit, this one does use a removable rechargeable battery, which you can recharge with a simple micro-USB cable. It also gets color night vision support. Just keep in mind that this one also requires a subscription to access all features. You can learn more about Ring Home plans here.
