On Amazon, one reviewer praised the iRobot device's ability to keep a pet-friendly household clean. "We have two dogs, one that sheds moderately," the customer wrote. "I purchased in hopes that it at least would help between regular vacuuming. I vacuumed first with my Dyson then set it free. When it was done with the job, I didn't expect much in the dust trap... I was wrong! It was full! Super impressed."

Don't let the extreme deal on this device fool you into thinking you're getting a subpar vacuum: The Eufy RoboVac 15C Max is rated 4.4 stars (out of 5) by Amazon reviewers.
The slim robot vacuum boasts 2,000 Pa of suction power, and automatically increases suction when extra vacuuming is needed. Despite its power, Eufy says the vac goes about its business relatively quietly -- at about the same volume as a working microwave.
The smart, Wi-Fi-enabled vac works with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. It can be controlled via your smartphone or device with the help of the EufyHome app.
This Eufy model lists for $280 at Amazon, but the Prime deal brings the price down nearly $100, to $189. Non-Prime members will pay $250.
