We highlighted some great deals on Dreame robot vacuums in our roundup of the best Labor Day deals, but if you don’t want to spend a grand on a vacuum, you might want to check out Roborock’s ongoing anniversary sale. Now through September 4th, Roborock is taking more than 40 percent off many of our favorite models, including the Q Revo (now $599.99) and the S8 MaxV Ultra (now $1,099.99). If you’re on a tighter budget, though, the best deal available is on the Roborock Q5 Pro, which is down to an all-time low of $179.99 ($250 off).

In many ways, Roborock’s big-wheeled robot vacuum / mop hybrid is made to tackle pet hair. The midrange vacuum features dual rubber brushes and 5,500Pa of suction power, which allows it to suck up pet hair and dirt from carpets impressively well. It also features a huge 770ml bin — preventing you from having to empty it every day — and a removable mopping pad that can clean up whatever dust the Q5 Pro doesn’t catch on its initial pass. It offers the same software features as the Q Revo and S8 MaxV Ultra, too, meaning you can still set digital keep-out zones and take advantage of features like lidar mapping and voice controls via Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Siri.

That being said, the Q5 Pro is Roborock’s entry-level model, so there are trade-offs. It lacks an auto-empty dock (unless you opt for the more expensive Plus model), and it won’t actually scrub your floors like a high-end robovac might. It also lacks AI-powered obstacle avoidance, though, thankfully for anyone with kids or a cluttered household, it can still dodge shoes and larger objects well enough.

A few additional ways to save

• The Stagg EKG Electric Kettle is available from Amazon, Sur La Table, and Fellow starting at around $132 ($33 off), matching its lowest price to date. The beautiful pour-over kettle lets you set your desired water temperature with the twist of a knob, giving you a quick means for consuming your favorite beverage at the optimal temp. It also features a built-in stopwatch, which allows you to ditch your smartphone timer while brewing coffee or steeping tea.
• You can grab Amazon’s Smart Plug at Amazon and Best Buy for $19.99 ($5 off), which is one of its better prices to date. If you want to control traditional gadgets like fans or lamps with a smartphone app or your voice, the hub-less plug will allow you to do just that. However, just be aware you can only use it on indoor gadgets, and the plug only integrates with Amazon Alexa.
• ChomChom’s reusable pet hair remover is down to just $19.99 ($11 off) at Amazon right now, nearly matching its all-time low of $17 or so. The super-handy contraption picks up unwanted cat and dog hair from furniture with ease, often better than adhesive-laden lint rollers, which is why we’re big fans of it here at The Verge.
