It’s all to hype up October Prime Day , which starts October 6th at 3AM ET and lasts through 3AM ET on the 8th if you’re on the East Coast (12AM PT).

Where to Buy: $699.99 $499.99 at Amazon Dreame X50 Ultra With high suction power, an improved brush system, and the ability to scale thresholds up to 6cm, the X50 Ultra stands out as a great robot vacuum and mop hybrid. Where to Buy: $1099.99 $899.99 at Amazon (for Prime members) $1099.99 $849.99 at Dreame (with free account)

It’s been a while since we’ve seen a big price cut on a capable robot vacuum and mop hybrid that can scale over short steps and threshold to hunt messes. Dreame’s X50 Ultra is the model that my colleague Jen recommends for hard floors and carpets, and it’s down to $899.99 at Amazon for Prime members (originally $1,599.99, but commonly around $1,100). It’s actually a bit cheaper ($849.99) directly through Dreame’s site if you have a free account there. Dreame X50 Ultra Where to Buy: $1099.99 $899.99 at Amazon (for Prime members) $1099.99 $849.99 at Dreame (with free account) The X50 Ultra debuted in early 2025, and still made the cut for Jen’s 2026 list of the best robot vacuums , thanks to its huge list of features that are executed well, for the most part. It’s a great vacuum and mop, and its mopping pads extend out, sweeping underneath cabinets and other furniture that sits close to the floor. Also of note is its ability to climb over thresholds up to 6 centimeters (over 2 inches) tall, ensuring it won’t get stuck where other vacuums may stumble. Like any good robot vacuum and mop, there isn’t much you’ll have to do to maintain on a day-to-day basis. It can remove, wash, and dry its mops autonomously, and its self-emptying bin can collect debris it sucks up for several weeks. Dreame claims you won’t have to empty it for 100 days, but that obviously depends on how messy your place is. Also, you’ll likely have to refill its water tank frequently if you’re mopping a lot. Other fantastic Verge-approved deals Woot has a pretty good deal happening on “Grade A” condition refurbished units of Asus’ ROG Ally with the AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme processor (16GB RAM, 512GB SSD) and a 90-day warranty. Priced at $529.99, the offer code CHEERS knocks 20 percent off that total for the rest of the day (September 28th). New customers who use the code get 30 percent off. For 20 percent off, that’s about $425, or $371 with the 30-percent discount. This model is a solid competitor to the Steam Deck LCD, with a higher-res 1080p screen with a 120Hz refresh rate. Its Z1 Extreme processor is faster, too, so this might be the deal you’ve been looking for if you’re striking out on handheld deals. Read our 2023 review. Another deal that jumped out from Woot is for the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro wireless headset for the PlayStation, PC, and Switch. The white version in new condition is about $192 with the code CHEERS , or down to around $168 if you happen to be a new Woot customer who uses the code. Its current $239.99 price is already good enough to earn it a spot in this roundup, but the current discount brings it down to “best-ever” territory. This 2022 headset is still a fantastic option, even compared to the $399 Nova Pro Omni that succeeds it. It has swappable batteries, a comfy design, and a reliable base station that can feed in audio from multiple sources. Read our review of the Nova Pro. Samsung’s 32-inch 4K smart screen on a pedestal, called The Movingstyle Essential , is $200 off. Originally $699.99, it’s down to $499.99 for Prime members at Amazon . It seems to be Samsung’s take on the LG StanbyMe, though it’s much cheaper even before this discount (notably, Samsung’s requires being plugged in, unlike the battery-equipped LG model). The screen attaches to a height-adjustable rolling stand (up to 50.8-inches tall), and it supports pivoting, swiveling and tilting. It features two full-size HDMI ports (once of which supports ARC), plus USB-C with 65W passthrough power, and two USB-A ports for viewing local media.

CyberPowerPC’s RTX 5070-equipped prebuilt. While PC component prices remain high, you can save a good bit of money on a system by purchasing a prebuilt desktop. Walmart has a well-equipped CyberPowerPC gaming PC on sale for $1,549, almost $600 off its original price of $2,139. It’s powered by an Intel Core i7-14700KF processor, and paired with 32GB of 6000MHz DDR5 memory and an Nvidia RTX 5070 Founders Edition with 12GB of VRAM. The case is a CyberPowerPC MA-O1 , an in-house design with extensive cooling options and three dedicated knobs for adjusting internal RGB lighting colors. CyberPowerPC (Core i7/RTX5070) Where to Buy: $2139.99 $1549 at Walmart While it might not feel like it at first blush, this is a solid value for a gaming PC that’s ready to rock out of the box. The RTX 5070 in this machine is likely to run you upwards of $800 by itself at the moment ( it launched in 2025 for $549 ), and 32GB of fast memory can be $400 or more. For just a small premium, you get those components packed into a nice case with a panoramic glass panel and a 1TB PCIe 4.0 SSD inside. The whole kit is tested, with a one year warranty for parts and labor. It also includes a keyboard and mouse, so you can start gaming right away once it arrives. Other deals to consider If you need a gaming monitor with spectacular colors and clarity to go with your new gaming PC, Newegg has the ASRock PGO27QSA-W discounted to $299.33, a significant discount from its original price of $476. This 27-inch screen supports 1440p resolution, a 240Hz refresh rate with FreeSync Premium for variable refresh rate, and an OLED panel for deep black levels. A two pack of Anker Zolo MagSafe wireless chargers is discounted to $25.99 at Amazon , where it would normally cost $39.99. Each charger is Qi2 certified, with support for up to 15W of charging power, and includes a five-foot cable for convenient positioning on your desk or nightstand. You’ll have to use your own wall charger, though. The Nintendo Customer Appreciation sale is live until September 26th at 8:59 PM PT, and is a great time to pick up an extra set of controllers, among other game and accessory deals . The Switch Pro Controller is only $56 (usually around $70) at both Amazon and Best Buy , and a duo of Joy-Con are only $62.99 at Best Buy , although only the pastel purple and green combo are currently in stock. The controllers are compatible with both the original Switch and Switch 2, although owners of the newer console will need a separate charger , and they won’t wake the system from sleep.
