  • Apple’s most affordable iPad is now the cheapest it’s ever been

    The latest iPad is now $50 off.

    If all you need is a reliable tablet for everyday tasks like streaming, checking email, or browsing the web, Apple’s latest entry-level iPad delivers good value — and right now, it’s more affordable than ever starting at just $299 ($50 off) with Wi-Fi at Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy. This is its lowest price to date.

    The 11th-generation iPad is a step up from its predecessor. It’s powered by Apple’s faster A16 chip, and starts with 128GB of storage – double the base storage. The new 11-inch display also gives you more screen real estate, whether you’re catching up on your favorite show or shooting emails. Plus, the tablet has a good front-facing camera and support for the Apple Pencil with USB-C, making the slate handle jotting down notes and hopping on video calls.

    Of course, as the cheapest tablet in Apple’s current lineup, there are some features you’ll miss out on. You don’t get support for Apple Intelligence, nor is there support for the new Apple Pencil Pro, which adds extras like a gyroscope and Find My integration. Still, for casual work and play on a budget, this is one of the best iPad deals available right now.

  • The Pixel Watch 2 is now on sale for $100 off

    If you’re an Android user who has been staring longingly at the wrists of people with smartwatches, but haven’t had the impetus (or the cash) to buy one yourself, this may be your chance. The last-gen Google Pixel Watch 2 is currently on sale at Amazon, Best Buy, and Google for about $149, a savings of $100 off of its usual price of $249 and only $4 more than its lowest past price of $145.

    The 41mm Pixel Watch 2 is Google’s second try at creating a smart watch that would compete with the Apple Watch, and while it doesn’t quite come up to the standards of the latest Google Watch 3, it is still a solid and useful device. It comes with sensors for heart rate tracking, skin temperature, and stress management, Emergency SOS and fall detection, and a safety check feature for when you’re trying to get home okay in tricky situations. It also has a battery that will last you all day — something that its predecessor lacked. Read our review.

    On the other hand, if you’re determined to get the latest model of Google’s watch, the 41mm version of the Pixel Watch 3 is also on sale at Amazon and Google for $299.99, which is $50 off its usual price of $349.99. Our reviewer found that the Watch 3 offered a multitude of tweaks and improvements that added up to a better experience, including a brighter display and smaller bezel, even better battery life, and a bunch of fitness and health updates, including custom running workouts and a revamped daily readiness score.

    On the other hand…

    • If you’re an Apple Watch enthusiast, Nomad is running a sale in honor of 10 years of the Apple Watch where you can get $10 off all sorts of Apple Watch accessories by using the code 10YEARS at checkout. It includes such things as the Rocky Point Band, a snazzy titanium watch band; a 65W power adapter, and the Base One Max 3-in-1 charger.  
    • I recently unearthed my old Ultimate Ears UE Boom speaker, which I got over 10 years ago, and while it still works, I’m wondering whether I should update using Woot’s sale of the latest Wonderboom Play Bluetooth speaker for $36.99, a savings of $53 over the market price of $89.99. Ultimate Ears speakers are known for their great sound, and the WonderBoom Play offers up to 10 hours of music per charge along with an IP67 rating, so it’s perfect for summer parties.  
    • If you’re looking for a low-cost but efficient tracker, the UGREEN FineTrack Smart Finder is now available at Amazon for $12.59 using the on-page coupon, which is a savings of $7.40 over its usual $19.99 price. The FineTrack uses the Apple Find My network to help you keep track of your keys, bags and other items; it features a replaceable battery (and doesn’t require a case).
    • And finally, back to Google: the Pixel Buds A-series wireless earbuds are on sale at Amazon for $59, $40 off the usual $99 price. These are not Google’s top-level earbuds, but they are comfortable and offer good sound and IPX4 water resistance. Read our review. 

  • The best iPad deals you can get right now

    While the best iPad deals usually land during major sale events like Black Friday and Amazon Prime Day, many great iPad deals are attainable outside those times. The day-to-day discounts may come and go like changing winds, but there’s often some amount to be saved, particularly on the more affordable iPads. The most recent iPad Pro and iPad Mini are also regularly discounted, and you can even save a bit on Apple’s latest iPad Air and base iPad.

    It’s difficult to know where exactly you can find the most notable iPad deals unless you’re scouring the major retailers on a daily basis. But that’s often what our deal hunters at The Verge are doing each and every day, so let us help you out. Below, we’ve listed the best deals you can get on each iPad model that is currently available, from the 10th-gen iPad of 2022 and the more recent base model with the A16 chip to the more powerful iPad models with M3 and M4 chips.

    The best iPad (2022) deals

    Apple’s 10th-gen iPad came out in late 2022. It’s still a great tablet overall; however, it’s recently been supplanted by Apple’s latest entry-level model, which features an upgraded A16 chip and twice as much base storage. That said, the last-gen iPad still benefits from a modern design and Apple’s long-in-the-making switch to USB-C. The 10.9-inch tablet is also outfitted with a side power button with a fingerprint sensor and uniform bezels, though, unlike its predecessor, it lacks a home button and a 3.5mm headphone jack.

    In the past, you could often buy Apple’s latest entry-level iPad for $349 ($100 off its initial launch price) — which is now the MSRP. Right now, however, the base model with 64GB of storage is on sale at Walmart in select colors starting around $269 ($80 off), which is $20 more than its best price to date. Amazon is selling the 256GB model with Wi-Fi for just shy of $400 ($100 off), but Walmart handily beats it with a $349 price tag.

    The best iPad (2025) deals

    As noted above, Apple’s 11th-gen iPad just recently landed on the scene. The new base-model tablet is a fairly iterative update of the prior model with 128GB of base storage (as opposed to 64GB) and an A16 Bionic chip, which is supposedly nearly 30 percent faster than the A14 chip found in the 10th-gen iPad. The newer chip doesn’t support the various Apple Intelligence features introduced in iPadOS 18.1. For that, you’ll want to opt for a more recent iPad Air, iPad Mini, or iPad Pro model.

    Pricing-wise, the new iPad starts at $349 with Wi-Fi and 128GB of storage. You can also upgrade to 256GB or 512GB of storage for an additional $100 or $200, respectively, or purchase an LTE model starting at $499. We don’t expect those prices to drop significantly in the coming months, though, if you choose to be an early adopter, the entry-level configuration with 128GB of storage is currently on sale at Amazon starting at $328 ($22 off). Alternatively, you can grab the 256GB model at Amazon starting at $419.99 ($30 off), or the 512GB variant at Amazon and Walmart starting at $614 ($35 off).

    The best iPad Mini (2024) deals

    The new seventh-gen iPad Mini is similar to the outgoing model but comes with faster Wi-Fi and USB-C speeds, support for the Apple Pencil Pro, and a newer A17 Pro processor with 8GB of RAM to support Apple Intelligence. Otherwise, it boasts nearly identical specs and features as the last-gen model, meaning it has an 8.3-inch Liquid Retina display, a USB-C port, and options for 5G. It may not be worth upgrading if you already own a sixth-gen Mini, but newcomers to the category will appreciate the upgrades.

    The 2024 iPad Mini starts at $499 with 128GB of storage, which was the price for the previous generation’s 64GB model. Electing for 256GB of storage brings the price up to $599, and the cellular models start at $649. These are some big numbers for a small iPad, and the larger iPad Air might be worth considering if you prefer your dollar to go further with more screen real estate. But if you want an Apple tablet in the smallest possible form factor, this is where the action is.

    Right now, there aren’t any deals available on the 128GB base model with Wi-Fi. You can, however, get the 256GB variant at Walmart for $589, a measly $10 discount. The 512GB model is also on sale at Amazon for $779 ($20 off).

    The best iPad Air (2024) deals

    Although the 2024 iPad Air isn’t vastly different from the new M3 model, it was the first Air available in a 13-inch configuration in addition to an 11-inch base model. Apple also introduced Wi-Fi 6E radios and upgraded the chipset to M2, enabling the hover feature when using Apple’s latest styluses. You can use the last-gen Air with the Apple Pencil Pro and latest Magic Keyboard, too, and while it’s no longer officially a part of Apple’s tablet slate, both the 11- and 13-inch Air are still readily available starting at $599 and $799, respectively.

    Discounts are limited on the 11-inch base model with 128GB of storage and Wi-Fi starting; It’s selling at its normal $599 price at Amazon . As for the 13-inch iPad Air with Wi-Fi and 128GB of storage, Best Buy and Walmart are all selling it in select colors starting at around $699 ($100 off), which is $5 more than its lowest price to date.

    The best iPad Air (2025) deals

    The 2025 iPad Air is little more than a spec bump over the previous model, with a few technical upgrades that should allow it to last longer than both the entry-level iPad and the last-gen Air. It features an M3 chip with support for Apple Intelligence and compatibility with Apple’s latest Magic Keyboard, which has a larger trackpad and an extra row of function keys that make the Air a more credible laptop replacement.

    The 11-inch model starts at $599 and the 13-inch variant $799 — the same price as the previous models — but we’re already starting to see discounts from third-party retailers. Right now, for instance, the 11-inch Air is on sale at Walmart, Amazon, and B&H Photo in its base configuration with Wi-Fi and 128GB of storage starting at $549 ($50 off). Amazon also has the 256GB model for $649 ($50 off) and the 512GB model starting at $849 ($50 off).

    The larger 13-inch model, meanwhile, is currently on sale at Amazon with 128GB of storage starting at $729.99 (about $70 off) or $754 at Walmart. You can also pick up the Wi-Fi / 256GB model at Amazon and B&H Photo for $849 ($100 off), or the 512GB variant at Amazon and Walmart for $1,074, just $25 off.

    The best iPad Pro (2024) deals

    Compared to the latest iPad Air, the 2024 iPad Pro is a far more impressive upgrade. The 11- and 13-inch models start at $999 and $1,299, respectively, and they were the first Apple devices to feature the company’s latest M4 chip, which brings moderate performance gains and dedicated hardware for on-device Apple Intelligence processing. The new Pro models can claim other firsts, too, such as being the first iPad models with OLED displays and the lightest Pros yet, which is true of both sizes. They also feature repositioned front-facing cameras that sit along the horizontal edge, which prevent you from looking as though you’re staring off into space on a video call.

    As for deals, the 11-inch iPad Pro with Wi-Fi / 256GB of storage is currently on sale at Amazon starting at $899 ($100 off) — which is about $20 more than its typical sale price. The sleek and super-thin 13-inch model, meanwhile, is on sale in its 256GB base configuration at Amazon starting at $1,099 ($200 off), which is a particularly noteworthy discount.

  • Here are the best Apple Watch deals right now

    The Series 10 is a pretty minor refresh, but the iterative updates over the last-gen Series 9 are welcome. | Photo by Amelia Holowaty Krales / The Verge

    In September, Apple launched its latest smartwatch, introducing the Apple Watch Series 10 alongside a black rendition of the Apple Watch Ultra 2. Each wearable has its own pros and cons, as does the second-gen Apple Watch SE, but the recent introduction of the new wearables also means there are now more Apple Watch models on the market than ever before — and a lot more deals to be had.

    But with all of those options, which one should you pick? Generally speaking, you want to buy the newest watch you can afford so that it continues to receive software updates from Apple. The latest update, watchOS 11, launched in September on the Apple Watch Series 6 and newer, ultimately leaving those still using an older Series 4 or Series 5 behind.

    That being said, picking up a watch from the latest (or a recent) generation ensures you’re getting a smartwatch with an updated design, a robust number of features, and plenty of sensors.

    Now, let’s get to the deals.

    The best Apple Watch Series 10 deals

    The Apple Watch Series 10 represents the latest wearable in Apple’s flagship Series lineup. It features the new S10 SiP chip, faster charging, and a wide-angle OLED display that’s brighter, larger, and easier to read than that of previous models. It weighs half as much as the Ultra, too, and is about 30 percent thinner despite its new 42mm and 46mm sizing. Other upgrades include an added depth and water temperature sensor, as well as a new FDA-cleared sleep apnea detection feature, the latter of which is also available on the last-gen Series 9 and Ultra 2.

    While the improvements are certainly welcome, the Series 10 isn’t a vast departure from the prior model, the Series 9. That being said, it’s currently on sale at Walmart right now in the 42mm sizing with GPS starting at $329 ($70 off), which remains its second-best price to date. The 46mm variant, meanwhile, is on sale at Amazon and Walmart starting at $359 ($70 off) — which is also the second-best price we’ve seen — while the LTE models can be had at Amazon and Walmart starting at $399 ($100 off).

    Read our Apple Watch Series 10 review.

    The best Apple Watch Series 9 deals

    In 2023, Apple introduced the Apple Watch Series 9 alongside the second-gen Ultra. It uses Apple’s last-gen S9 SiP chip and a second-gen ultra wideband chip, which allows for onboard Siri processing and precision finding with select iPhone models. It also features a brighter, 2,000-nit display and support for Apple’s nifty “double tap” feature — two minor additions that are also present on the Series 10.

    The Series 9 has been out for more than a year, but specific configurations have become increasingly difficult to find with the arrival of Apple’s latest watch. Luckily, the Series 9 is still on sale at Best Buy in the 41mm / GPS configuration starting at $279.99 ($119 off) or in the 45mm / LTE configuration starting at $343.99 (about $185 off).

    Read our Apple Watch Series 9 review.

    The best Apple Watch SE deals

    The Apple Watch SE received a refresh in late 2022. It has the same chipset as the Series 8, which is great, but with fewer sensors, no always-on display, and a slightly outdated design compared to the Series 8, Series 9, and Series 10. Those omissions might take this out of the running for some people, but it still may be exactly what you’re after. Best of all, it starts at $249 for the 40mm Wi-Fi / GPS model, which is $30 less than the previous generation’s baseline cost. Opting for cellular connectivity bumps the starting price up to $299 for the 40mm size (44mm adds $20 to each configuration).

    Right now, the best deal on the latest Apple Watch SE can be found at Amazon, where you can pick the 40mm model with GPS for an all-time low of $169.97 (about $79 off). The 44mm / GPS config, meanwhile, is available at Amazon for $199.97 (about $79 off). If you want the LTE configuration, the 44mm model is currently on sale at Walmart starting at $199 ($130 off), or in the smaller 40mm sizing at Walmart starting at $239 ($60 off).

    Read our Apple Watch SE (second-gen) review.

    The best Apple Watch Ultra 2 deals

    The latest Apple Watch Ultra launched at $799 in September with GPS and LTE support, much like the original model. The ultra-capable smartwatch has the most features, sensors, and ruggedness of any Apple Watch model available thus far, along with a display that’s 50 percent brighter than the first Ultra. The 49mm smartwatch also packs Apple’s S9 SiP and second-gen ultra wideband chips, just like the Apple Watch Series 9, while maintaining long-lasting battery life, precise GPS tracking, and a bevy of diving-friendly sensors.

    In recent months, we saw the Apple Watch Ultra 2 dip to as low as $642 ($157 off) in select configurations. Right now, however, it’s only on sale at Amazon with a Trail Loop or an Ocean Band starting at $734.89 (about $64 off), or with an Alpine Loop starting at $739 ($60 off). You can also pick it up at Best Buy with an Alpine Loop, a Trail Loop, or an Ocean Band starting at $739 ($60 off), which is a deal we rarely see at Best Buy.

    Read our Apple Watch Ultra 2 review.

    A note on the more premium models

    While all of the Apple Watch models and colorways covered here are encased in aluminum (except the Ultra 2, which has a titanium build), Apple does make a more premium range built out of stainless steel and titanium. These offerings are functionally and aesthetically similar to their aluminum counterparts, with slightly refined colors and finishings — polished for the stainless steel and brushed for the titanium. However, they start at much steeper prices of $699 and above. They, too, can often be found on sale, but they’re never discounted as low as the standard base models, so we don’t include them here.

  • You can grab three months of Apple TV Plus for $2.99 a month right now

    Curious what all the fuss over shows like Severance and The Studio is about? If you’re interested in streaming either, new and eligible returning subscribers can sign up for Apple TV Plus through April 24th for just $2.99 a month for the first three months. Apple TV Plus would normally cost you $9.99 a month, meaning you’re saving $21 over a three-month period.

    In addition to Severance and The Studio, Apple TV Plus also grants you ad-free access to other originals — including Ted Lasso and For All Mankind — all of which you can stream in 4K HDR, download to watch offline, and share with up to five family members. The platform also features a wide variety of movies, including Killers of the Flower Moon, Napoleon, The Gorge, Wolfs, and The Instigators. More into sports?

Otherwise, your plan will automatically renew at the going rate (currently $9.99 a month) once the limited-time promotion period ends. As for what defines an “eligible returning subscriber,” we’ve reached out to Apple for clarification, and we’ll update the post if we hear back.

  • Here are the best robot vacuum deals available right now

    A number of excellent models are on sale right now, including the Dreame L20 Ultra. | Photo by Jennifer Pattison Tuohy / The Verge

    We’re in an age where you can realistically delegate tasks to smart hunks of metal, whether it’s a self-driving car or a robot that can clean on your behalf. Most of us probably won’t be able to afford the helpful sentient humanoids being developed in our lifetimes, but robot vacuums are an affordable way to experience that promised utopia right now.

    Today’s floor cleaners are also more advanced than ever. In addition to vacuuming, many of the best models can now mop, allowing you to tackle both carpet and hardwood flooring. Some can automatically dispense of their trash and dirty water, too, and clean their own components without intervention. Soon, we’ll even have models that can pick up dirty laundry and purify the air in your home, preventing you from having to lift a finger.

    But if you need something relatively affordable for daily cleaning, you’d be surprised how little you have to pay for premium features. Below, we’ve listed the best deals currently available on a slate of Verge-approved robot vacuums, whether you prefer a budget entry-level model from Yeedi or a top-of-the-line offering from iRobot, Dreame, and more.

    The best Roborock deals

    Roborock’s S8 MaxV Ultra — our pick for the best robot vacuum overall — is available from Amazon, Best Buy, and Roborock for $999.99 ($800 off), which is an all-time low. The combination of a 10,000Pa suction power and dual rubber roller brushes makes it a terrific vacuum, one that can easily pick up pet hair and other debris. It can also mop with great efficiency thanks to a sonic mopping system that vibrates the mop pad 4,000 times a minute, allowing it to clean sticky juices, thick condiments, and other common spills. The mop arm can extend to cover corners and baseboard edges, too.

    The S8 MaxV Ultra’s camera-equipped AI obstacle avoidance makes it the best navigator in Roborock’s lineup and one of the top models overall, though it’s not quite as strong as Roomba’s. The mobile app offers ample options to customize cleaning zones and schedules, and you can use its dedicated voice assistant to start and stop routines. That said, it’s also a Matter-ready robot that’s compatible with Alexa, Google Home, and Apple Home.

    The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra, which is almost identical to the aforementioned S8 MaxV, is currently matching its all-time low of $899.99 ($700 off) at Roborock’s online storefront and Amazon. The main difference is that the Ultra lacks an RGB camera, meaning it isn’t as good at avoiding obstacles, but that might be a positive if you prioritize privacy. It’s also limited to 8,000Pa of suction power and lacks a built-in voice assistant, as well as support for Matter.

    The Roborock S8 Plus is another great robot vacuum / mop hybrid that’s available for $549.99 ($450 off) — its second-best price to date — from Roborock and Amazon, if you’re a Prime member. It offers a vibrating mop pad that scrubs floors well, and, like the S8 MaxV Ultra, it features dual rubber roller brushes. It’s not as powerful as the MaxV Ultra given its 6,000Pa of suction, but it still does a good job of sucking up dirt from carpets. It also lacks a water tank, though you do get good obstacle detection and a smaller auto-empty dock that saves space.

    The big-wheeled Roborock Q5 Pro is down to $179.99 ($250 off) at Roborock’s online storefront and Amazon (with a coupon), which is $40 more than its all-time low. Not only is it one of the most affordable robovacs you can buy, but thanks to its dual rubber roller brushes and 5,500Pa of suction power, the entry-level Roborock model remains one of the best we’ve found at dealing with unwanted pet hair.

    The lidar-mapping Q5 Pro features voice controls, digital keep-out zones, and mopping pads with an onboard reservoir, but no self-cleaning functions. This particular SKU doesn’t include a self-emptying base, but the 770ml dust bin is one of the largest you’ll find, so you can go a few weeks without touching it. That being said, Roborock sells a version with a self-emptying dock, which is also on sale right now for $479.99 ($220 off).

    The best Dreame deals

    The Dreame X40 Ultra is another mopping robot, and while it’s on the more expensive side, you can currently pick it up for an all-time low of $899.99 ($600 off) at Amazon. You’re paying a premium for 12,000Pa of suction power and a pair of removable, self-retracting mop pads, which it can automatically clean and dry on its own using the included base. It can also empty its own bin and refill its own water tank.

    The Dreame X40 Ultra features an extendable side brush and mop pads, too, offering better coverage for baseboards, corners, and the underside of your furniture. It uses a combination of AI-powered cameras and “3D-structured light” (presumably based on lidar technology) to map and navigate rooms, with customizable keep-out zones and more functions available in the app. There’s also a dirt detection system that can identify messier spills and adjust its cleaning routine accordingly.

    The Dream L20 Ultra is available for a new low of $549.99 ($450 off) at Amazon for a limited time. The L20 Ultra is an excellent alternative to Dreame’s newer flagship robots, including the X40. It lacks a bit of power in comparison, though its 7,000Pa of suction power is still enough for most cleaning jobs. It also doesn’t have the L40’s tri-cut brush, which makes the step-up model more efficient at picking up pet hair. The only other real advantage the X40 holds over the L20 is its self-extending arms for vacuuming (though the dual mop pads can extend a bit for baseboard and corner coverage), nor does it have dirt detection.

    The L20 Ultra’s base station is rather large, but it can take care of the entire cleaning process, including emptying the dustbin, emptying and refilling the water tanks, and washing and drying the mop pads. It doesn’t have a heated cleaning function for the mop pads, however. It uses a lidar-based AI-powered navigation system, and you can prompt it to start cleaning by voice using Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant voice commands.

    The best SwitchBot deals

    The SwitchBot S10 is on sale for a new low of $390.99 ($809 off) at Amazon at checkout. The S10 is one of the most affordable robot vacuum / mop hybrids you can buy, one that can refill its own tank so long as you hook the battery-powered base station into your home’s plumbing. It can also dry its own mop pads and empty its own bin at a separate docking bay, and offers enough capacity to run for up to 90 days without intervention.

    The S10’s self-cleaning roller mop is more effective than the typical pads we see in most other units, but it’s also limited to a smaller coverage area. It only has a single roller brush for vacuuming, but its respectable 6,500Pa suction can make up for it. And while it has lidar mapping and AI-powered obstacle avoidance, we found it still has a tendency to get stuck on laundry, bath mats, and other obstacles. The S10 is also one of the few robovacs with Matter support, however, which effectively enables native control through Apple Home, Google Home, and Alexa (though said platforms don’t yet fully support robot vacuums).

    Read our SwitchBot S10 review.

    The SwitchBot K10 Plus is also available for an all-time low of $199.99 ($200 off) directly from SwitchBot with promo code LMTM120. At 3.6 inches high and 9.8 inches wide, it’s a more petite option if you want something that can maneuver tighter spaces, which it does to decent success with a lidar-based mapping system that supports digital keep-out zones. It only has 2,500Pa suction, but that should be powerful enough to lift dirt in all but the deepest carpeting. You can also attach disposable mopping pads, though their mopping function doesn’t work well. The K10 Plus comes with a self-emptying dock that can hold a respectable four liters of dirt before it needs emptying.

    The best Eufy deals

    The Eufy X10 Pro Omni, our current pick for the best midrange robot vacuum / mop, is now available at Amazon for Prime members for $699.99 ($100 off), which is about $150 shy of the all-time low we last saw during Amazon’s Big Spring Sale. You can also grab it directly from Eufy for the same price when you use promo code WS24T2351121 at checkout.

    The X10 Pro Omni is a bit of a novelty, at least in comparison to other robovacs in its price range, in that it offers AI-powered obstacle detection, which allows it to deftly navigate cables and other clutter. It also features a slew of functions you’d expect from top-of-the-line models, including 8,000Pa of suction power, speedy lidar-powered mapping, and oscillating dual spinning brushes for mopping.

    Mind you, none of these features are as effective as they are on more premium models, though the result is an all-in-one bot that punches above its weight. Plus, it has heated mop drying and onboard water reservoir, the latter of which prevents it from having to return to its multifunction auto-empty / wash / fill dock too frequently.

    The best Yeedi deals

    The Yeedi Cube is currently down to an all-time low of $259.99 ($230 off) at Amazon for Prime members. It’s not easy to find a self-emptying / self-cleaning vacuum at this price, as those features are typically only available on robots that cost upward of $600 or more.

    With 5,100Pa of suction power, the Cube can tackle most common vacuuming scenarios, though its single hybrid rubber / bristle brush can get easily tangled with pet hair. It mops better than most models in its range, however, namely because its vibrating microfiber pads can actually scrub your floors. The Cube uses lasers for object avoidance, too, though it’s not as effective for navigation as those with lidar and AI smarts.
