SAVE $1,199.99: Through June 22, Best Buy will give you a free Sony 65-inch Bravia X90L 4K TV when you buy a Sony 98-inch Bravia 5 mini LED TV at full price.
Opens in a new window Credit: Sony Free Sony 65-inch Bravia X90L 4K TV with purchase of Sony 98-inch Bravia 5 mini LED 4K TV Get DealYou can usually find some decent deals on TVs at any given time. But even the biggest discounts on record still won't beat free.
If you're in the market for a fancy TV upgrade and want to splurge on a huge 98-inch Sony Bravia 5 — the company's latest mini LED TV — Best Buy will give you a gift: a free Sony 65-inch Bravia X90L. To qualify, add both the 98-inch Bravia 5 and 65-inch Bravia X90L to your cart on the promo page. Best Buy will then automatically apply the discount for your free TV, knocking the $1,199.99 price tag down to a satisfying $0.
Nothing hits like watching the price drop from $1,199.99 to $0. Credit: Best BuySo, what's the catch? (There's always a catch). While the deal is straightforward — buy one TV and get another completely free — the catch is that the new 98-inch Sony Bravia 5 comes with quite the sticker shock at $6,499.99. A free 65-inch X90L TV valued at $1,199.99 takes a little bit of that sting out, but that's still a very expensive TV. Granted, our friends at ZDNet (also owned by Ziff Davis) called it the best big-screen Sony TV. "The Bravia 5 is a solid option for creating a movie theater in your own home. The updated Mini LED panel supports automatic HDR tone mapping for console and PC gaming, a 120Hz refresh rate, and enhanced picture and audio processing," their reviewer wrote. In other words, since it's brand-new, you'll be future-proofing your home theater setup and shouldn't have to buy a new TV for many years.
The free Bravia X90L TV hails from 2023 and remains one of the best-performing TVs in its price range. ZDNet wrote that while it "might not set any records for picture quality, it does feature some of the best audio you can get."
If you're already in the market for a new big-screen TV and you're looking to splurge on the latest technology, this is a pretty sweet deal. If you're looking for a more budget-friendly model, we certainly wouldn't recommend dropping $6,499.99 just to get a free TV.
Regardless, both TVs offer everything you've come to expect from high-end models, like excellent picture and audio quality, innovative features like preloaded streaming apps and voice controls, impressive refresh rates, and Sony upscaling. Through June 22, you can upgrade two rooms in your home for the price of a single (albeit expensive) 4K big-screen TV.

AI-generated commercials are ready for primetime.
If you watched the NBA finals on Wednesday, you may have seen an ad that features a shirtless elderly gentleman draped in an American flag, a farmer floating in an inflatable pool filled with eggs, an alien chugging a pitcher of beer, and a lady in a sparkly pink tracksuit driving a Zamboni.
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.Once your eyes recovered from the unhinged scenes, you would be right in assuming that this ad was created using generative AI. What's more, the Kalshi AI ad only took $2,000 and two days to create, according to YouTuber and filmmaker PJ Ace, who created the commercial.
The AI creation was an advertisement for Kalshi, a market where users can place real-money trades on real-world events. Obviously, since it aired during the basketball game, the ad's AI-generated characters shared (yelled) whether they wanted the Oklahoma City Thunder or Indiana Pacers to win the championship (Indiana currently leads 2-1 in the series). But it also showed AI characters betting on things like whether the price of eggs would go up, hence the inflatable pool.
After posting the video on X, Kalshi confirmed that it was created using Veo 3, Google's latest AI video generator that also supports audio. Now that Veo 3 has been unleashed, the ability to create inexpensive and eye-catching videos is undeniably seductive to advertisers. Meta is going all in on AI-generated ads for its platforms and reportedly plans to fully automate ad creation by the end of next year, according to the Wall Street Journal.
"We were not specifically looking for an AI video at first, but after getting quotes from production companies that were in the six or seven figure range with timelines that didn't fit our needs, we decided to experiment," a Kalshi spokesperson told Mashable. "We did want some outrageous scenes as that fit the ad's theme of the world going mad; another factor here is that Veo-3 has a clip length limit of 8 seconds, so it was going to need to be structured as a commercial that cut around to different scenes quickly."
In a thread on X, Ace shared how he created the Kalshi AI ad. He said he was asked by Kalshi to "create a spot about people betting on various markets, including the NBA Finals" and decided to pursue this creative vision because "the best Veo 3 content is crazy people doing crazy things while showcasing your brand." And in a YouTube description of the video, Ace said, "Kalshi hired me to make the most unhinged NBA Finals commercial possible." He also predicted that "High-dopamine Veo 3 videos will be the ad trend of 2025."
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.Ace wrote a rough script of wild characters and dialogue, with brainstorming help from Gemini and ChatGPT, then started prompting. All in all, Ace said it took him "300–400 generations to get 15 usable clips," resulting in a commercial that he says is 95 percent cheaper than traditional ads.
The AI filmmaker, who has over 15 years of experience as a director, said that while this commercial was made inexpensively, some brands will still "pay a premium for taste." But the future of ads in his opinion, is "small teams making viral, brand-adjacent content weekly, getting 80 to 90 percent of the results for way less."
Tech company Anker has recalled more than one million of its popular power banks due to fire and burn hazards, according to a June 12 alert from the Consumer Products Safety Commission.
The brand has received 19 reports of fires and explosions from customers using the PowerCore 1000 A1263 model, which includes at least two instances of burn injuries and 11 property damage claims totaling over $60,700.
SEE ALSO: Apple will soon be ending support for Intel-based MacsAnker has since posted its own update on the developing situation, announcing that the company will be replacing the China-manufactured charging banks affected by the recall. In order to qualify for the replacement, customers must submit photo evidence that they own the indicated model, as well as proof that they have disposed of the device properly. The company has advised those customers not to throw their power banks in their standard trash recepticles, but to instead contact their local hazardous waste collection service for further instructions.
This isn't the first time that Anker has had to recall one of their portable batteries — the PowerCore 1000 A1263 is just one of four current recalls from the company. (The 334 MagGo 10K, 321 Power Bank 5K, and 535 Power Bank 20K have all been recalled as well). For more information on how to check if you have a qualifying Anker power bank, visit the company's official recall instruction page.
FREE GIFT CARD WITH PURCHASE: When you purchase the Samsung Galaxy Ring at Best Buy ($399.99), you'll get a free $100 Best Buy gift card to spend on other tech.
Opens in a new window Credit: Samsung Samsung Galaxy Ring + free $100 Best Buy gift card Get DealThe only thing that tops saving money on a new tech purchase is getting free money from a new tech purchase. While the "creepily accurate" Samsung Galaxy Ring isn't currently on sale (it's rare to see it discounted), you can get $100 back to spend on another tech purchase when you buy one.
As of June 13, Best Buy is giving away free $100 gift cards with the purchase of all sizes and colors of the Samsung Galaxy Ring. Take your pick from black, gold, or silver. Once you make your purchase, the $100 Best Buy e-gift card will be created and send via the email address you have on file. Make sure it's a valid one; if not, you'll be asked to confirm and you must respond within 60 days to claim your free gift. Amazon is also running a similar deal, but stock is running low.
We're major fans of the Samsung Galaxy Ring — we even like it better than the popular Oura Ring. Our reviewer Kim Gedeon gave it a near-perfect rating and claimed it's "so good, it has made me consider the unthinkable: dropping my beloved Apple Watch Series 9 for the Korea-based tech giant's new wearable."
Standout features of the Galaxy Ring include an impressive six-day battery life, a comfortable and durable design (water resistance!), crazy-good health tracking and stress monitoring, and — unlike the Oura ring — zero subscription fees. Mashable's own reviewer wore the Galaxy Ring for a week straight and was shocked when it outperformed her Apple Watch Series 9. In other words, even at full cost, it's a worthy purchase. And considering you'll get $100 back to spend on other tech at Best Buy? It's a no-brainer.

Apple's AI-enhanced Siri is probably coming in the spring of 2026, a new report claims.
This is according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, who claims that this is an "internal release target" within Apple for the "delayed upgrade" of Siri.
In terms of iOS releases, Apple is targeting the iOS 26.4 software update to bring this new Siri into the world. For reference, Apple released the first iOS 26 beta to developers earlier this week, following a launch during Apple’s 2025 Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) keynote.
SEE ALSO: iOS 26 adds 'Emoji Game' for Apple News+ subscribersAnd while the iOS 26 release did come with a number of new Apple Intelligence features, Siri was mostly left the same as before.
Some of the features that are coming were announced more than a year ago, at Apple's WWDC 2024, which took place last June. This includes Siri being aware of what's happening on your iPhone's screen and providing personalized answers. Officially, this is coming with a future software update; according to Apple's senior vice president of software engineering Craig Federighi, that software update will be ready sometime next year.
In an interview at this year's WWDC, Federighi said that the problems arose when the company tried to consolidate two different Siri architectures, one dependable but without the new features, and the other far more advanced but ultimately not stable enough for a wide release yet.
According to Bloomberg's report, if all goes well, Apple might preview some of the new features when it launches the new iPhone this fall, but the timeline could shift and nothing is set in stone just yet.

Taylor Tomlinson's After Midnight, the late night comedy show that took over James Corden's old slot in 2023, has come to an end.
In the clip above Tomlinson, who is leaving to continue her standup career, expresses her gratitude for the opportunity, thanks her team, and expresses some regret that After Midnight won't continue after she's gone.
"As you can imagine it's a very emotional night," she says. "It's gonna be an amazing show, but you know, there's a lot happening internally for me, at least. I'm so grateful that I got a chance to do this. I am. I never thought that I would be able to host a late night show. This was never something that was on my vision board at all because I just didn't think that it was possible for me. I'm a touring standup and I feel very grateful to have that career, I really do, and this opportunity came along at a time in my life when I could take advantage of it, and while unfortunately I couldn't keep doing the show – it just wasn't sustainable for me – I can't believe that I got to do it as long as I did.
"It was my dream that I would finish off this season and get to hand it off to a new host. I really wanted CBS to replace me because I just think there are so many amazing comedians who would have done a great job with this show. And the reason I feel that way is, honestly I can't really express, how special this team of people is that I got to work with on this show."
After Midnight's time slot will now be replaced with episodes of Comics Unleashed with Byron Allen, per Deadline.
Tesla's updated Model S and Model X are here, but you have to look very closely to see the differences.
Tesla's own list of highlights for the new Model S and X starts with a new color option, Frost Blue, which tells you that this is just a retouch of the company's premium models.
Other highlights include:
quieter cabins, with less wind and road noise and more effective Active Noise Cancellation
new wheel designs with improved aerodynamics
improved front fascia camera with better visibility
dynamic ambient lighting, with "unique animations along the dash & doors upon entry"
improved suspension design for a smoother ride
adaptive driving beams
That's for both the Model S and the Model X, but there are a couple of specific improvements for each model, respectively.
The 21-inch Velarium wheels are a $4,500 option. Credit: TeslaFor the Model S:
The Model S Long Range now has up to 410 miles of range, making it the longest-range Tesla in the company's lineup
Model S Plaid has new exterior styling, which the company says is optimized for high-speed stability
For the Model X:
there's now more space for 3rd row occupants and for cargo
In terms of exterior styling, the cars are very similar to what they were before; the Frost Blue color, which is a $2,500 option for both the Model S and Model X, as well as new wheels, will make the biggest difference.
The wheel options now include the 20-inch Perihelix and the 22-inch Machina wheels for the Model X, and the 19-inch Magnetite, and the 21-inch Velarium wheels for the Model S.
The headlights are now adaptive. The new, 22-inch Machina are an optional, $5,500 upgrade. Credit: TeslaInside, the new, customizable ambient lighting is the thing that'll make the biggest difference, though that's merely catching up to the new Model 3 and Model Y, which got the ambient lighting as part of their most recent upgrade.
Woohoo, ambient lighting is here! Credit: TeslaAs for the Model X's improved third-row space, that could be a big deal for people who often haul more than five passengers, but Tesla didn't share any details and it's hard to judge the differences based on official photos alone.
SEE ALSO: Tesla’s Optimus humanoid robot program loses its headPotential customers won't like the fact that both the Model S and Model X now cost $5,000 more than before. The starting price for the Model S is now $84,990, while the Model X now starts at $89,990. That's for the All-Wheel Drive variants; if you want the Plaid versions, they start at $99,990, and $104,990, respectively.

Summer's here, and to celebrate, we're diving into shark-infested horror!
This week on Say More, Mashable Entertainment Editor Kristy Puchko and Senior Creative Producer Mark Stetson welcomed Jai Courtney to the couch to talk Dangerous Animals.
The Australian actor has flexed his leading-man muscle in a series of blockbuster franchise action movies, from A Good Day to Die Hard to Divergent. But in Dangerous Animals, he takes a bite of a juicy character actor role, playing the villainous Tucker, a boat captain who takes on shark-cage dives, and sometimes feeds those tourists to the sharks for his own pleasure.
SEE ALSO: 'Dangerous Animals' review: Jai Courtney goes sublimely savage as a shark-centric serial killerAussie horror auteur Sean Byrne directs Dangerous Animals, making this freaky film a follow-up to such critically heralded offerings as the grisly The Loved Ones and the deliciously demonic The Devil's Candy.
On the Say More couch, Puchko and Courtney dug into what appealed to him about playing Tucker, how the role marks a shift in his career that began with Captain Boomerang in Suicide Squad, and how he made movie magic with an intense dance number in Dangerous Animals.

Updated on Thursday, June 13 at 5 a.m. ET — We have good news and bad news. The good news? Walmart has the Switch 2 + Mario Kart World Bundle in stock. The bad news? It looks like the consoles are being sold by third-party sellers — and with jacked-up prices. The bundle normally retails at Walmart for $499, but it's currently listed for sale from seller "GAMES FOR US" for $749.
Here at Mashable, we do not recommend feeding trolls or price gougers, but Switch 2 restocks have been so rare, we wanted to provide this update. Unfortunately, it looks like price gougers have officially come for the Switch 2, and not just on eBay.
Opens in a new window Credit: Nintendo Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World Bundle $749 at WalmartThe Nintendo Switch 2 launch day has come and gone, and those lucky enough to get a console are already happily playing Mario Kart World and other launch titles.
Starting on June 5, gamers could finally purchase the Switch 2 console for $449.99 and the Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World Bundle for $499.99 — if you could find it in stock. Costco had inventory available on June 5, and Target started selling its inventory online on June 6, but as of this writing, it's unavailable at all retailers. GameStop and Staples at least have tools that let you check available stock at nearby stores.

To avoid hoarding and reselling, Nintendo and retailers are limiting orders per person. That means you'll need to make an account to successfully place an order. We also recommend reviewing our tips for tracking restocks, and in the meantime, try all the links below.
Place an order with NintendoYou can't simply go to the My Nintendo Store and buy the Switch 2. To order the Switch 2, you need to log in with an active, paid Nintendo Switch Online account. Once you do that, you can choose either a Switch 2 standalone console or the Mario Kart World bundle and then hit the confirm button to "register your interest" in ordering a Switch 2.
Now for the weird stuff. Only Switch Online members who have paid for at least 12 months of service and registered at least 50 hours of gameplay on their Switch consoles can purchase through Nintendo. In other words, you better be a true Switch gamer if you want to buy the Switch 2 this way. If you're eligible and follow these steps, watch your email for an invitation link.
Buy the Switch 2 at Nintendo: Nintendo Switch 2 console $449.99 Learn More Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World Bundle $499 Learn More How to order Switch 2 at WalmartUnlike Nintendo, purchasing the Switch 2 online at Walmart is pretty simple. Technically, Walmart shoppers have been able to preorder Switch 2 consoles on Walmart's website since midnight ET on April 24. In reality, the console has been sold out consistently. Our advice? Go to the Walmart Switch 2 listing a few times a day and smash that refresh button.
We'll update this article as soon as we find Switch 2 consoles in stock at Walmart (or anywhere). Walmart also sells a lot of Switch 2 launch titles and accessories.
Buy the Switch 2 at Walmart: Nintendo Switch 2 console $449 Shop Now Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World Bundle $499.99 Shop Now How to buy Switch 2 at TargetTarget stores opened as usual on launch day, and according to a press release, Switch 2 hopefuls were directed to a "designated queuing location" near the entrance. Target workers reportedly gave out reservation tickets to a lucky few. Buyers were whisked off to the electronics department, where they could finally purchase either the Switch 2 or a Switch 2 bundle.
Buy the Switch 2 at Target: Nintendo Switch 2 console $449.99 Shop Now Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World Bundle $499.99 Shop Now How to buy Switch 2 at GameStopGameStop is the one retailer of the four listed here that's doing things a little bit differently. If you were lucky enough to get a GameStop preorder, you could pick up your console at midnight on June 5. GameStop stores also hosted midnight launch events (though supplies were limited), and gamers can go to GameStop locations to participate in a "Transfer and Trade," where they trade in their original Switch and transfer data to the new console.
You can also try your luck online or sign up to get updates when new inventory becomes available. You can also buy Switch 2 games and accessories at GameStop, including those all-important MicroSD Express cards.
Buy the Switch 2 at GameStop: Nintendo Switch 2 console $449.99 Shop Now Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World Bundle $499.99 Shop Now How to buy Switch 2 consoles at Best BuyBest Buy joined GameStop in hosting Switch 2 midnight launch parties, but the tents and lawn chairs have been packed away by now. If you weren't one of the chosen ones who got a console at these events, you'll have to rely on the Best Buy website. So far, we haven't seen any inventory available, unfortunately.
As a “high-demand item,” Best Buy customers have to follow specific steps to buy a Switch 2 online:
Create a My Best Buy account and sign in
Confirm your location
Add the item to your cart
Follow the on-screen prompts and check for available inventory
If you get a Switch 2 console in your cart, you’ll have 10 minutes to complete the purchase
You'll notice there's one major retailer conspicuously missing so far — Amazon. That's because Amazon is not an official Nintendo retailer, so any Switch 2 consoles you find there are likely listed by resellers of dubious legitimacy. However, Amazon shoppers can preorder some Switch 2 titles ahead of the launch.
Opens in a new window Credit: Nintendo Daemon X Machina Titanic Scion Limited Edition $99.99 at AmazonAs we noted in our Switch 2 preorder guide, select Staples stores will sell the Switch 2 on a first-come, first-served basis starting June 5. Most Staples locations open at 8 a.m., but we recommend showing up bright and early. Staples will also be selling an unnamed Switch 2 game bundle, and we know it's not the standard Mario Kart World bundle. As with other retailers, Switch 2 consoles are currently listed as "Out of stock" at the Staples online store.
Opens in a new window Credit: Nintendo Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World Bundle $499.99 at StaplesAre you a Costco member? Then you may be able to secure your Switch 2 at the mega-retailer, which has been one of the few retailers with actual inventory available on June 5. Costco members can purchase the Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart World bundle online starting June 5, though there's a limit of one console per membership (every seven days). As of this writing, the console and Mario Kart bundle are both sold out.
Opens in a new window Credit: Costco Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World Bundle $499.99 at CostcoSimply put, it's a matter of demand far outpacing supply, though tariffs definitely didn't help.
Since opening for preorder on April 24, the Switch 2 has been sold out pretty much everywhere, like the PS5 before it. In fact, so many gamers tried to place preorders on April 24 that they immediately crashed the GameStop, Target, and Walmart websites. That's left many Switch fans wondering how to buy the Switch 2 online. So, if you aren't buying a Switch 2 in person, keep checking this page for the latest stock updates on Switch 2 launch day and beyond.
Popular Switch 2 accessoriesIf you want to console yourself by stocking up on Switch 2 accessories, chargers, and cameras, these products are much easier to "Add to cart."

We've published his day one review, and check back for a full review next week. To sum up his thoughts, while there are a couple of annoying setup quirks, the new console is a big step forward and just as much fun as you'd hoped. You can also read all about the Switch 2 launch titles we're most excited to play.
"I think it’s awesome," Perry wrote in his Switch 2 early review. "Most of the games I’ve played have been impressive in one way or another, and the hardware is a clear improvement over the first Switch. It’s not perfect, but nothing is."

The new wave of robot vacuums coming to the scene in 2025 has added some serious diversity to the pickings.
A few have been overhyped, like the robot vacuum with an arm. But a few have been impressive — I'm pretty confident that the Roborock Saros 10R will stay my favorite robot vacuum of the year, even if some stragglers come out in the second half. This isn't even touching on the eight new Roombas that casually showed up in the spring.
SEE ALSO: Roborock Saros 10 vs. 10R: I narrowly crowned a winner after head-to-head testing at homeDuring my in-apartment testing of all of these robot vacuums, though, one unique vacuum stood out as deserving of way more attention than it's getting: the Eufy E20 3-in-1 vacuum.
This genius design quite literally involves a robot vacuum that can transform into a cordless stick or handheld vacuum in seconds. Though an affordable convertible vacuum cleaner is probably something a ton of people wish existed, few know it's actually a thing. So let me put you on to the most underrated robot vacuum of 2025 so far.
The self-empty dock holds more than two months' worth of debris. Credit: Leah Stodart / MashableMost robot vacuum shoppers face the age-old question: "Should I get a robot vacuum or stick vacuum?" My ultimate piece of wisdom is to...well, buy both. Rather than spending a lump sum on a super advanced robot vacuum that does everything or on one of the expensive Dysons, you could strategically spend around half on a more budget-friendly version of each.
But what if you don't want to spend more than $500 on your vacuum situation? I can't believe something like the E20 didn't happen years ago, but Eufy deserves serious credit for finally filling that product gap. When I first heard about the E20's release during CES 2025, I expected it to cost near $1,000. Not only is the $649.99 MSRP already pretty feasible, but I've seen the Eufy E20 on sale for less than $400 several times since it came out in February 2025.
SEE ALSO: As a Dyson stan, I wouldn't tell anyone to buy the Dyson 360 Vis Nav robot vacuumThe Eufy E20 is just as much of a space-saving hack as it is a money-saving hack. If you're set on having both types of vacuums, it saves you from having to store a whole-ass upright vacuum in a closet somewhere. Then, the self-emptying dock itself is extremely compact, taking up around half the floor space that the robot vacuums that wash and dry their mopping pads do. It's easily one of the best robot vacuums you could get for a small space.
Unfortunately, you do have to find a spot for the loose stick vacuum wand. I wish the dock had the option to click it on for storage somewhere.
The most powerful suction mode is loud, but worth it. Credit: Leah Stodart / Mashable My cats are notorious for covering the windowsills in potted plant soil. Credit: Leah Stodart / MashableThe motor and onboard dust bin live in the body of the robot vacuum most of the time. To make the switch to handheld mode, there's a single red button to click to release the lightweight handheld part, which clicks right onto the extender wand or handheld brush and crevice attachments. That's it — that's all the hardware that's involved.
To my surprise, the Eufy E20 doesn't skimp on any cleaning modeNo offense, but I wouldn't have been surprised if an affordable robot vacuum promising this kind of versatility ended up having lackluster cleaning skills in at least one of the modes. But for a mid-range price point, the Eufy E20 is actually a solid sucker-upper in the robot vacuum, stick vacuum, and handheld vacuum departments. In robot form, the E20's 8,000 Pa of suction power is definitely in line with most $500 to $700 vacuums out there, including the Eufy X10 Pro Omni that I loved in 2024.
I live with two other people and two cats, so there's always a mix of pet hair, kitty litter, and food crumbs on our hardwood floors and rugs at any given time. The E20 thoroughly picked up between 85 to 90 percent of all the visible stuff, only really missing some corners and edges near plush rugs. I was similarly impressed with the accuracy of its smart mapping — the E20 always made it to the correct room or cleaning zone that I selected in the app, which is the most that I can ask from a "basic" LiDAR vacuum. (The Eufy E20 doesn't mop, so I wouldn't recommend it if you live in a high foot traffic home with lots of hard floors.)
SEE ALSO: I've tested 20+ robot vacuums. These are the only ones I'd tell you to buy in 2025.In cordless vacuum form, the suction power is bumped to 30,000 Pa (for reference, the most powerful robot vacuums of 2025 max out at 22,000 Pa). That cyclonic action can be adjusted through a button on the handle, and the max setting created oomph that I could feel tugging at my hand. If you have pets, I think the Eufy E20's stick vacuum power is more than enough to uproot shedding that a robot vacuum misses.
The best thing about a vacuum that automatically empties itself is that you can really visualize how much the vacuum is picking up during each cleaning session. The E20's dustbin isn't as transparent as Dysons or Sharks that I've tested, but you can still definitely see the tufts of dust that it found hiding somewhere.
But to me, handheld mode is the real gem here. I could never be a robot vacuum-only person is because I'd simply spiral if I had no way to tend to the areas where a robot vacuum or full-sized stick vacuum can't go, like my desk, windowsills, couch cushions, and car seats — all places where my cats shed or people eat snacks. That flexibility boosts the E20's value over a ton of other plain ol' robot vacuums in its price range.
Did it NEED to have exposed guts? Credit: Leah Stodart / MashableIs the Eufy E20 the chicest robot vacuum I've ever seen? Not exactly. The whole exposed motor look is a bit sci-fi-y, and I'd prefer something a little more refined and subtle if the robot vacuum were to be stored in a main room of my home. But at the end of the day, it feels unfair to put too much weight on the E20's curb appeal when it's such a bang for your buck otherwise.
