Looking for a video-enabled Alexa device, but those high price tags scare you? If you don’t mind the less sleek look of the first-generation Echo Show, then Woot’s latest electronics deal is one you don’t want to miss. While supplies last, the site is offering Buy at Bloomingdale's for 60% off their retail price.

Normally $230, Woot has either the white or black model Buy at Bloomingdale's There’s a healthy limit of 10 per customer, so if you had planned to plunk down the $100 for the second-generation audio-only Echo to outfit your house with Alexa speakers, we’d recommend picking up Shows instead for $10 less — they’re completely worth it.

The addition of video adds a lot to the Alexa experience. Visual cues provide more information than Alexa’s standard voice responses, and the drop-in feature becomes a solid in-home video intercom. Where we really appreciate the video functionality is in the smart home.

The Show gives you a central spot to browse through your security cameras, see who’s at the door and control your smart lights. It’s what a smart hub should be: not just some useless rectangular box like most are. That’s where we think the Show will be the most useful for many.

Sure, the design of the first-generation device is a little utilitarian, and the sound quality not a dramatic improvement over the original Echo, but at $90 this is too good to pass up.

Buy at Bloomingdale's

Woot is now an Amazon company, so it’s fairly likely these are coming straight from the depths of some Amazon warehouse looking to clear up some space. It’s also the lowest price we’ve ever seen on any video-enabled devices, including Facebook’s new Portals, which also support Alexa’s video features and recently dropped Buy at Amazon

Amazon itself is running some decent deals on Echo devices when you purchase more than one.

Here’s a recap of those deals:

Buy at Amazon — Save $80
Buy at Amazon — Save $80
Buy at Newegg — Save $100
Buy at Amazon – Save $40

My Lawn Used to be a Never-Ending Weekend Job Until the LEBOSBO V3 Took Over

The revolutionized yard care solution that acts less like a machine and more like a helping hand

Grass, Lawn, Plant

I used to think tedious lawn maintenance was simply one of those unwritten rules of homeownership, a chore you quietly accept and force yourself to deal with every weekend. I would promise myself I’d quickly get it done, only for it to spiral into hours of work. Instead of enjoying slow summer weekends outdoors, I often found myself dragging a mower through the heat, edging borders, bagging endless clippings, and dealing with equipment that somehow always demanded more effort than expected. Even after sacrificing an entire Saturday morning, the yard rarely stayed looking sharp for more than a few days.

That frustration eventually pushed me toward smarter lawn care solutions. The problem was that most robotic lawn mowers I came across did not feel all that smart. Between burying messy perimeter wires, dealing with bulky installations, and watching machines bounce around the yard like confused pinballs, the entire setup often looked more exhausting than the mowing itself. I direly sought some respite, and that's exactly why LEBOSBO stood out to me.

YEEDI S20 Infinity Ultra: redefining what robot vacuums should actually clean

The real problem with robot vacuums is not navigation anymore

Electronics, Speaker

YEEDI S20 Infinity Ultra enters a category that has already refined navigation, mapping, and basic automation to a point where daily dust cleaning is predictable and reliable. The expectation from a robot vacuum today is no longer about whether it can move efficiently through a home, but whether it can handle the kind of mess that defines real, everyday use. Floors accumulate dried spills, sticky residue, and layered grime that cannot be removed through suction or light mopping alone, and these conditions continue to expose a limitation that has persisted across the category. Users still find themselves stepping in before or after a cleaning cycle, either by manually scrubbing problem areas or by running multiple passes to reach an acceptable result, which defeats the purpose of automation in the first place.

This is the gap YEEDI S20 Infinity Ultra is designed to address, approaching robotic cleaning through stain treatment and surface recovery rather than simply increasing suction or expanding coverage. The product’s focus on solving persistent real-world cleaning limitations has also earned it the Digital Spotlight Award, reinforcing its positioning within a category that is increasingly shifting towards more intelligent and outcome-driven automation.

Robot vacuums have reached a point where expectations are no longer limited to basic cleaning.
