The Kyvol Cybovac E20 Robot Vacuum Cleaner—on sale for $180 (was $299)—comes with intelligent sensors and boundary strips so it knows just where to go in your living room, bedrooms, kitchen and more, while it’ll scoot under and around furniture and away from drop-offs like stairs.

Plus, its rubber brushes grab dirt and debris from hardwood and carpet with up to 150 minutes of cleaning time. And when it runs out of juice, this compact and smart robot vac automatically goes back to its charging station base for a quick re-charge and then goes back out on the prowl for more grime.

“What I like about it: The suction power is strong and I am surprised how much dirt it picks up after just five minutes,” shared a satisfied Amazon shopper. “We have carpet in the house and this works very well transitioning to the tile floors. We also have play mats on the carpet and the robot vacuum went over the play mats with no problem.”

“Fantastic—this projector is amazing. We used it for family movie night,” shared a happy five-star reviewer. “It took about five minutes to set up. My biggest worry was sound, but I was pleased. The sound is great even without a sound bar, but it was easy to add a sound bar to make it even louder. We had no trouble running YouTube, Amazon, Netflix and other services with a laptop. The picture is sharp and clear.”

During the days of COVID-19, it’s good to have a trusty and accurate thermometer on hand (or should we say forehead). This Hemps Digital Infrared Thermometer—which is on sale for just $24, or $21 off at Amazon—doesn’t have to be placed under the tongue or inside of... other places on the body, but rather just near the forehead. Just point and pull the trigger about two inches away from the forehead to get an accurate temperature reading.

“Nice handheld thermometer,” noted a five-star reviewer. “Easy to use. Very similar to the thermometers used at the doctor’s office.”

If you can’t imagine a life without your morning smoothie or post-workout protein shake, this deal is for you! The Ninja Mega Kitchen System is both a blender and food processor, so you can easily whip up shakes, frozen drinks, dips and salsas. It’s even great for baking — the processor cup can even make two pounds of dough in 30 seconds.

“I LOVE my Ninja,” a reviewer shared. “This speeds up prep time in the kitchen so much, and it is incredibly powerful. I wanted to make homemade frozen yogurt with frozen fruit and almond milk yogurt, and this does the job magnificently. Smoothies, soups, sauces, doughs, salsas, vegan cheesecake, vegan cheese, shredded chicken... I've made a ton in it already and have only had it for two weeks.”

We all love our pups, but that doesn’t mean they should take over the couch or your bed. This doggie bed is ultra soft, has bolsters so it’s easy on Fluffy’s joints, and even has a machine-washable cover in case of any accidents.

“This Dog Bed was even better than we hoped,” one shopper noted. “I was so happy to see that this bed is big enough for my dog. Setting the bed was super easy and quick. My dog Cali loves it. She doesn't leave the bed at all. She has enough room to stretch out and do whatever she wants. 5 out of 5 for sure!

This purifier has a true HEPA filter, which painstakingly captures over 99.97 percent of pollutants — yes, including allergens, dust mites and pollen. It also helps break down odors in rooms up to 360 square feet in size.

“I am VERY allergic,” one shopper wrote. “As soon as I am in contact with dust I tend to have a horrible allergy reaction. This filter is truly game-changing. Since I installed it in my room I feel my air like if I am in an operation room (and yes, I am a surgeon). I feel their quality is very impressive. I clean it every 2 weeks and you cannot imagine how filthy the air would be without this filter. 100 % recommended.”
