October Prime Day 2023: The best smart home deals on robot vacuums, smart speakers and video doorbells – The Verge

It’s another Prime Day — or in Amazon parlance, a Prime Big Deal Day — which means another day to save a buck or two on great new gear for your smart home. Whether you’re looking for a robotic helper to clean your floors, an extra pair of eyes to guard your belongings, or another smart speaker to give commands to Amazon’s Alexa voice assistant, there are some good bargains to be had during Amazon Fall do Prime Day event.

As usual, robot vacuum cleaners are seeing some good sales, even on the top models, which don’t see discounts as often as the other models. (My advice is to never buy a bot that isn’t on sale, because they are always on sale). Ecovac’s latest flagship robot vacuum, the X2 Omni, launched last week and is already $200 cheaper. I’ve started testing it and it’s an impressive machine; Its square shape gives it the advantage of being able to get into corners better than most rounder “bots”.

Ring’s high-end smart security cameras are also getting significant discounts: the Ring Pro 2 Video Doorbell and Ring Floodlight Cam Pro offer radar motion detection and better video quality compared to the base models. These are rarely on sale and offer up to $100 off.

Here’s a roundup of some of the best deals on good products I’ve discovered so far. I’ll be updating this throughout the sales event, so check back regularly.
