Roborock’s Q5 Pro, the best robovac for families with pets, is nearly half off

If you’re looking for a way to quickly wrap up your spring cleaning, robot vacuums make for great cleaning assistants that can help you do so with just the press of a button. And right now, one of our favorite models has plunged to a new all-time low, with both Amazon and Roborock selling the Roborock Q5 Pro for $259.99 ($170 off).

The midrange Q5 Pro is a powerful cleaning machine with dual rubber roller brushes and 5,500Pa of suction power, which allows it to suck up pet hair, dirt, and debris from carpets exceptionally well without getting tangled up. It also comes with a removable mopping pad so you can clean up the finer dust the vacuum didn’t catch, along with a large 770ml bin that prevents you from having to empty it every day. Sadly, it doesn’t sport AI-obstacle avoidance, but it still features its own set of tricks, including lidar mapping and navigation, the ability to set digital keep-out zones, and support for Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Siri.

If Amazon’s most recent sales event didn’t include enough games for you, Microsoft has launched its own spring sale that might be right up your alley. Along with offering deals on Surface devices and Xbox controllers, Microsoft is also offering up to 80 percent off hundreds of Xbox games through April 18th.

While Game Pass Ultimate subscribers already get free access to many of the games on sale, the promotion includes some digital titles that aren’t included in the subscription. For example, you can buy award-winning titles like Alan Wake 2 for $47.99 ($12 off) and the Dungeons & Dragons-inspired Baldur’s Gate 3 for $62.99 ($7 off). Older releases like Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition are also on sale for $53.59 ($26 off), which is a great deal since it includes both the original game and its new Phantom Liberty expansion. The Digital Deluxe Edition of Diablo IV is also on sale for $44.99 (half off) and comes with extra cosmetic items, as well as the Season 1 Battle Pass.
