Prime Video's hit Fallout TV series is now driving speculation about the future of the Fallout video game series.

As spotted by PC Gamer and other outlets, the home page for the Fallout show on Amazon's website features an intriguing Easter egg that has piqued the interest of fans of the games. It's done up in the style of the in-game maps in the last few Fallout games, with each icon hiding behind-the-scenes info about the second season of the show. If you scroll to the upper right corner of the map, there's a mysterious countdown timer that ends on Feb. 4, the day that the final episode of Season 2 airs. Of course, everyone is wondering what will happen when that timer expires.

SEE ALSO: 'Fallout' Season 2 review: Our introduction to New Vegas is a blast, and more relevant than ever

Occam's razor suggests it will either be a tease for the already confirmed Season 3 of the Amazon show or a behind-the-scenes featurette on the finale of Season 2.

However, it's been a decade since the last proper Fallout game came out, so fans of the games are speculating on Reddit and elsewhere that there could be a remaster of 2008's Fallout 3 and/or 2010's Fallout: New Vegas in the works, to be announced when the timer goes up.

SEE ALSO: 'Fallout' Season 2, episode 1 includes an iconic 'New Vegas' needle drop

While that may seem like wishful thinking by fans who have been dying to return to post-apocalyptic America in video game form, there is a tiny bit of hope here. Leaked documents suggested the existence of a Fallout 3 remaster a couple of years ago, and those same documents proved correct regarding an Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion remaster that was eventually released in 2025.

Additionally, Windows Central reported this week that remasters of Fallout 3 and New Vegas will eventually be released, but the Amazon countdown timer has no connection to these releases.

So, in short, fans may be half-right. Those two games could definitely come back in some form in the near-ish future, but this countdown timer may have nothing to do with that. It's only a few weeks until someone is proven right or wrong, in any case.

Unsurprisingly, AI is everywhere at CES 2026 and they usually come in the form of wearables.

However, AI PCs, computers built to handle all types of Large Language Models (LLMs) are also having a moment at CES.

One of those products making its debut at CES, the Tiiny AI Pocket Lab, has created a portable AI supercomputer that's not quite a wearable, but its so tiny that you can fit it in your pocket.

Tiiny AI's AI supercomputer, called the Tiiny AI Pocket Lab or Tiiny for short, was first shown to media at the Pepcom event at CES this week. Mashable was able to get a hands-on and try out Tiiny's capabilities and also observe just how tiny it is.

The first thing we noticed at the Tiiny AI booth was its Guinness World Records certificate naming the Tiiny AI Pocket Lab the official "world's smallest mini PC."

At first glance, Tiiny AI could be confused for a portable power bank. It's rectangular in shape and looks a bit brick-like. It's so small that it fits in the palm of your hand. It's also extremely light.

Again, we're talking about a computer here. Tiiny AI has managed to pack in a whopping 80GB of RAM and 1TB of SSD storage into this miniature device in order for it to actually be able to handle intensive AI processing. 

Why would you need a high-performance PC for AI? Tiiny AI does all of its AI processing right on the device. Nothing leaves this mini supercomputer. If you're privacy-minded and don't want all of your data uploaded to the cloud or just don't want to pay for any more subscriptions, an AI computer is what you want. Tiiny AI wants to provide the most portable solution.

Tiiny AI has also built a corresponding desktop app to work with Tiiny so you don't have to be an AI developer or programmer to know how to run AI models on your device. Tiiny's app provides simple use for dozens of different models, including generative AI models that create images and video.

Testing out the Tiiny AI Pocket Lab's capabilities, it responded to prompts quite quickly and generated content just as fast, if not faster, than many popular cloud AI services. The Tiiny device I used had been running throughout the day and, surprisingly, it wasn't hot at all. It wasn't even that warm. This is interesting because a common feature for full-sized AI PCs is the ability to handle the high temperatures these computers can reach due to the intrusive AI processing. For a mini computer to be able to pull this off is pretty impressive. 

The Tiiny AI Pocket Lab will be launched on Kickstarter within the next few months and will retail for $1,399 – pricey for a mini-computer, but in the more affordable range when it comes to AI computers.

When it comes to smartwatches, there are tons you can choose from. But have you ever considered adopting one from Nothing's product line? If not, and a smartwatch under $100 sounds like a good idea, we've got a great deal for you.

As of Jan. 8, get the Nothing CMF Watch 3 Pro for $61.60 at Amazon, down from its usual price of $99. That's $37.40 off and a discount of 38%.

SEE ALSO: My favorite smartwatch for working out is on a major discount ahead of 2026

This watch is an absolute gem, and according to Mashable's Lauren Allain's review, it "looks, feels, and functions like a smartwatch that costs hundreds more." Its long-lasting battery gives you two weeks of use per charge, it has a slew of health tracking and fitness features, and it gives you the same array of options you'd get in a much pricier smartwatch.

The health features include heart rate monitoring, a blood oxygen function, stress tracking, and much more. There's also a GPS functionality if you want to keep an eye on your runs (or your locations) and ways to text and keep in touch with everyone while on the go.

Best of all, this watch is available for less than $100 with all of these niceties intact. It's made even cheaper thanks to the Amazon deal, but even at its normal price it's a stunner that's a great idea for any type of user. If you want some new wrist candy, getting it at its next-to-lowest price yet is a no-brainer.

We're living at the cottage from now on. It's the safest and most comfortable place we've ever been. Plus, the burgers are great and there's that "stupid Canadian wolf bird" to lull us to sleep. Without a doubt, Heated Rivalry has been one of the most popular shows to drop in the last decade. While most of the official merch is sold out and we're still waiting to hear if Team Canada will grace us with Shane's Olympic fleece, there is one way to get a piece of the show in your own hands, and it's on sale today.

As of Jan. 8, the Marshall Monitor III headphones are on sale for $279.99 at Amazon, down from the list price of $379.99. That works out to a savings of $100 thanks to a 26% discount that matches. Today's sale price matches the record-low at Amazon.

Ilya Rozanov, played by Connor Storrie, sports the Marshall Monitor III headphones in several episodes of Heated Rivalry, and notably wears them as he slyly leaves the airport, heading to the cottage in the final episode of season one. And some of the specs are spot-on for Ilya's character.

SEE ALSO: All 6 of the books that inspired "Heated Rivalry" are over half off at Amazon

For one, these Marshall headphones get up to 100 hours of battery life, which seems very Ilya to not be willing to deal with constant recharging. If you opt to listen with the ANC, you'll be able to get about 70 hours of life. They're also lightweight and have a compact, foldable design which must have been nice while traveling to the away games and back home to Russia. The carrying case is also great to have included.

Of course, the Marshall Monitor III headphones come with the brand's iconic high-quality sound. They use Marshall's Dynamic Loudness feature which adjusts the treble, base, and mids at every volume.

Tune into the show's soundtrack or rewatch the whole season again (we don't judge) with Ilya's Marshall Monitor III headphones while they're on sale for $100 off at Amazon. And remember, we all deserve sunshine.

In today's fame economy, visibility comes with excavation. Right now, no one understands that more than the stars of Heated Rivalry.

When someone breaks out the way Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams have after Heated Rivalry, fans don't just follow their work — they scroll backward, digging through old usernames, forgotten uploads, and half-formed versions of the person they've just discovered. The internet, after all, never forgets. It just waits.

For Storrie, that excavation led straight to YouTube. A channel he launched a decade ago, when he was just 12 years old and growing up in Odessa, Texas, resurfaced online in the wake of Heated Rivalry's overnight phenomenon. Back then, the motivation was simple: he wanted to be an actor. The videos were earnest and unmistakably the product of a kid trying something out in public.

In a new interview with People, Storrie reflected on what it's been like to watch those childhood videos resurface and go viral. "It's weird to see them going viral," he said, explaining that he initially considered taking them down.

A fan even offered to help remove them through a contact at YouTube, and Storrie went through the process. But instead of relief, he felt something closer to resistance. "Honestly, it felt like the end of a sort of self-acceptance ritual," he said.

Rather than erasing them, Storrie chose to leave the videos up. "It felt cool to be like, 'Yep, that was me. And this is me now,'" he explained, framing the decision not as a branding move but as an act of acceptance.

That acceptance has come with time. In a Dec. 26 interview with Variety, Storrie spoke more candidly about his younger self. "I love that little guy. I love him. I used to not like him," he said.

SEE ALSO: 'Heated Rivalry' fans, we've got your next must-see MLM romance

Growing up as "this artist, sissy boy in West Texas that didn't want to play football," Storrie found refuge in imagination instead. "I wanted to play pretend and play dress up and disappear into weird worlds and entertain and try to connect with people that way, and that was just not the norm out there."

If he could offer that young YouTuber any advice now, it wouldn't be to shrink himself. Instead, it would be the opposite. Storrie said he’d tell him to be bigger, bolder, and more proactive in creating his own opportunities instead of waiting to be chosen. "Try putting yourself in your own things," he said.

While announcing the nominations for the 32nd Annual Actor Awards (formerly known as the SAG Awards) on YouTube, Storrie paid quiet homage to his younger self, introducing himself the same way he had more than a decade ago. The delivery was intentional, the smile playful.

As digital footprints are increasingly treated as liabilities, Storrie's response offers a gentler model: not hiding where you started, but standing by it.

SAVE $41.88: Through Jan. 21, new and select returning subscribers can still score three months of Audible Premium Plus for just 99 cents per month (a grand total of $2.97). Typically $14.95 per month, that's a total savings of over $40.

If you've ever been the least bit curious about audiobooks, Audible's holiday offer — which is still live for the next couple of weeks — lets you explore that curiosity for less than 3 bucks.

Through Jan. 21, new and select returning subscribers can get three months of Audible Premium Plus for only 99 cents per month for a grand total of $2.97. A Premium Plus subscription usually costs $14.95 per month, so you'll be saving a total of $41.88. Of course, you'll want to be sure to cancel before your three-month promotional period is up to avoid further charges. I suggest setting a calendar alert once you sign up.

I always take advantage of this deal when I'm eligible — so, of course I snapped it up in December. While I am a huge fan of Libby (free with your library card), the wait times for new books can be a drag. Audible's Premium Plus membership allows you to "buy" whatever Premium title you want with zero waiting involved. That means you can easily enjoy 2026 releases, last year's Goodreads favorites, BookTok gems, and more on your own time.

While all Audible subscribers get access to the Plus catalog, which features thousands of audiobooks, podcasts, originals, and more, Premium Plus members also unlock access to the Premium selection. You'll get a credit each month to "buy" one of these Premium titles. So, with this three-month promotional offer, you'll essentially get to "buy" three different audiobooks, plus enjoy other Plus titles and Audible Originals. Occasionally, Audible will also run a 2-for-1 credit sale, where you can purchase two different audiobooks with a single credit.

Whichever way you slice it, three months of audiobooks for less than 3 bucks is a pretty damn good deal. Just be sure to sign up by Jan. 21 to lock it down.

I'm known as the product girl in my friend group. That means I'm always down to give a product recommendation, but it also means friends come to me with their own recs. That's what happened when I walked into my friend's apartment and she said, "Oh, I have something for you to write about." That something? The Levoit 2.5L Top Fill Humidifier. Little did my friend know, I was already a fan, as this humidifier has saved my parched skin during brutal dry winters. And right now, the Levoit humidifier is on sale.

The Levoit 2.5L Top Fill Humidifier is a small but mighty device. Despite holding 2.5L of water at once, it's still a fairly compact humidifier; I can easily fit it on my nightstand along with a lamp, alarm clock, and all my other knick knacks. When filled to the brim, the humidifier runs for hours — up to 25 hours to be exact. But even just halfway filled, gives you plenty of hours of runtime. I can fill it up halfway, crank it up to max power when I get into bed at 10 pm, and when I wake up at 6 am, it's still running.

It can handle large rooms and delivers cool mist quiet, providing much needed humidity for skin and sinuses in the dry winter climate. The controls are unfussy, a simple, easy to use knob to adjust the mist flow. Plus, I find that it's easy to clean with not too many nooks and crannies for mold and mildew to hide in.

After spending 2025 satirizing President Donald Trump's administration, South Park kicks off 2026 with a new chapter: a Fortnite collab.

Launching Friday, Jan. 9, and running until Thursday, Feb. 5, Fortnite's South Park: Born in Chaos crossover event ushers in a whole host of new features. Players can don Cartman, Kyle, Stan, Kenny, and Butters mech suit outfits in Fortnite's shop. (Meaning, yes, you can kill Kenny over and over again.) They can also explore a new Point of Interest in Cartman's own personal theme park, Cartmanland.

SEE ALSO: 'South Park' closes Season 28 with a horrifying Jeffrey Epstein twist

In a major development, the South Park crossover introduces Quints, a five-player playlist that lets you add a new member to your squad. That's great news for South Park's Butters, who, in the collab's announcement video, finally gets to play Fortnite with his buddies instead of remain stuck as the fifth wheel.

The event also includes several South Park-themed gameplay items. Cheesy Poofs allow you to restore health, heal allies, or damage enemies, while the one-time use Kenny's Respawn Token lets you reboot automatically after elimination. Plus, if you retrieve the single-use Stick of Truth (from the 2014 video game South Park: The Stick of Truth), you'll be able to control where the Storm goes.

For even more South Park goodies, players can get the free Born in Chaos pass and complete South Park-themed quests to unlock 13 items, like the Cheesy Poofs Rocketship Emote, and a Terrance and Phillip Pickaxe. If you complete all of the quests, you'll earn the Imaginationland Airship Glider.

Towelie will also be available as a sidekick, and you know what they say: If you choose to embark on Fortnite's chaotic new South Park journey, don't forget to bring a towel.

Premium audio brand JBL announced a slew of new headphones and earbuds at CES 2026 — from a variety of open earbuds to new upgrades to its iconic Endurance line. Among the many new additions is the Endurance Peak 4, which means the last-generation Endurance Peak 3 just dropped in price. Don't you love how that works?

As of Jan. 8, the JBL Endurance Peak 3 earbuds are on sale for only $59.95 at Amazon. That's 40% off their list price of $99.95 and the lowest price on record. For what it's worth, the new Peak 4 earbuds (set for release this month) will retail for $129.95. That's more than double the cost of opting for the previous generation.

JBL's Endurance line is built for athletes and outdoor enthusiasts, and the Peak earbuds are designed for the most demanding active lifestyles (and for anyone who just can't keep normal earbuds in their ears). The bendable TwistLock ear hook enhancer offers a secure and comfortable fit that actually stays put. I personally own the even older Peak 2s and can confirm these things do not move once they're in place. The Peak 3s also feature up to 50 hours of playback (10 in each earbud, 40 in the case), rich JBL Pure Bass Sound, and an IP68 dust and waterproof rating. Sweaty runs or dusty bike trails? No problemo.

Ambient Aware and Talk Thru modes also ensure you can stay alert to your surroundings without removing your headphones and make and hear calls anywhere. While there's no noise-cancellation feature (the Peak 4s will feature that for the first time), there doesn't really need to be. These earbuds are built for being active out in the world, where you need to stay aware.

Whether you simply can't wait for the new JBL earbuds to drop to buy a new pair or you'd rather save some cash, the JBL Endurance Peak 3s on sale for $59.95 certainly won't disappoint.

Samsung has some new phones to show off, and by all accounts, we'll see them pretty soon.

The Korean tech giant just got done showing off its vision for an AI-powered future at CES 2026, but it isn't done. Rumors are swirling around about an upcoming Unpacked showcase that will theoretically focus on at least the new Galaxy S26 phones. There's just one big question, though: When exactly is the Samsung Unpacked showcase for early 2026?

Let's dig in and find out.

SEE ALSO: Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold hands-on: I'm excited, but it's got quirks Samsung Unpacked 2026 rumors: When is it? This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

This question is (seemingly) pretty easy to answer because one of the more reliable tipsters in the realm of phone rumors has nailed down a supposed date for Samsung Unpacked. In this case, it's Evan Blass, who has a pretty sterling record of being right on this stuff. On X, Blass corroborated some Korean media reporting that the event would take place on Feb. 25, saying that date is "100 percent correct."

In the absence of any contradictory reporting from other sources, all we can do is assume the showcase will take place on that date or close to it right now. It's a bit odd because that's a full month after when Samsung typically does its early-year Unpacked events, but if it were happening in January this year, we probably would've heard about it by now. For the time being, let's just operate under the assumption that it's happening in late February.

Samsung Unpacked 2026 rumors: What will be shown?

The question of what will be shown at this Unpacked event is also fairly easy to answer based on precedent from previous years. In short, expect a lot of information about the Galaxy S26 phones. Just like in previous years, there will be three of them: A base Galaxy S26, a middle-ground Galaxy S26 Plus, and a premium Galaxy S26 Ultra.

Recent reports point to a pretty incremental refresh of the Galaxy S line this year, which is interesting because there were rumblings several months ago that Samsung would shake things up in 2026. The company was allegedly going to replace the Plus model with a new ultra-thin Edge phone, but Apple's success with the iPhone 17 strategy of putting pro-level features in the base phone without raising the price reportedly caused Samsung to pull back and just go with what has worked in previous years this time.

Last year's early Unpacked event was almost entirely focused on Galaxy phones and AI features for said phones, with a very brief surprise appearance by Samsung's XR headset at the end. I would expect this year's showcase to be similarly focused on Galaxy S26 phones, but the fact that the Galaxy TriFold is also set to launch in early 2026 in the United States could justify some time being given to that phone, as well. Samsung has already shown off that device in Korea and at CES, though, so maybe it gets a quicker mention with a price and release date instead of a full, blown-out debut.

At any rate, we've apparently got several weeks to sit and think about it.

The tech world is seeing one of its most exciting weeks right now at the annual CES in Las Vegas. We've already seen fresh launches like an Acer monitor with a 1000Hz refresh rate, upgraded Soundcore sleep earbuds, and new robot vacuums, of course (spoiler: there's another grabby arm). But if you're all-eyes on portable power solutions to take camping, on RV trips, or for keeping the home online when the power goes out, Bluetti brought exciting new launches to the massive consumer electronics show.

Bluetti is a front-runner in the great world of improving battery power, making some of the industry's top models for whole-home backup and RV life. Not to mention, Bluetti is the brand if you want a colorful portable power station. But at this year's CES, Bluetti debuted four new portable power solutions. These will especially appeal to those with RVs or anyone who's live out the van life. Plus, some models are already available to purchase. Here are all the details of what Bluetti showcased at CES 2026.

Bluetti Charger 2

In an industry first, the Bluetti Charger 2 harnesses both solar power and car alternator power. Recharging via a cigarette lighter socket is notoriously slow, so Bluetti set out to change how quickly we can recharge batteries while driving. The Charger 2 system uses alternator and solar power at the same time to output up to 1,200W, which Bluetti says will recharge batteries 13 times quicker compared to traditional car outlets.

This one-and-done setup will be great for RVs, vans, overlanders, and digital nomads. Plus, Bluetti made this model capable of reverse-charging. If your van or RV battery dies, the hub Charger 2 can enter an emergency jumpstart mode. It'll also ensure trickle charging is activated, never allowing your vehicle battery to drop below 100W while parked in a long-term storage situation.

You can already purchase the Bluetti Charger 2 from Amazon or Bluetti's website. It usually sells for $599 but it's on sale during its initial launch period for only $349 which is a massive 43% discount.

Without sacrificing durability, the Bluetti Elite 100 V2 Bio-Based Edition uses bio-circular plastics in the power station's chassis. Boiled down, this leads to a 25% reduction in carbon emissions during production. But it still maintains Bluetti's UL94 V-0 flame retardancy and a 10-year expected lifespan. The Bio-Based Edition also has a fresh colorway of Earth Deep Blue and it's labeled with a green leaf icon.

The Bio-Based version of the Bluetti Elite 100 V2 comes with the same specs and the standard version, meaning you're in for 1,024Wh of battery capacity that are excellent for camping or when the power goes out. Its weight of about 25 pounds means it's a highly portable model with four AC ports, two USB-A, and two USB-C with a max a 140W max.

You can already buy the new environmentally-friendly Bluetti Elite V2 at both Amazon and Bluetti's website. It comes with a standard list price of $799 but we're already seeing discounts on this new model.

More power means a larger size. Not only do portable power stations increase in physical size with larger battery capacity, they get heavier. Bluetti says the new Elite 300 has a smaller footprint compared to other models that offer a 3000Wh capacity. That will be especially important for those taking it in the RV, camping, or in the van where extra space is in short supply. There's also a 30amp plug and a 10 millisecond UPS for an unnoticeable switch from grid power to the Bluetti Elite 300.

The Bluetti Elite 320 is a new wheeled portable power station that's designed for home backup should the power cut out. Its 3,200Wh capacity will be ideal for larger appliances like the keeping the refrigerator cooling while also using the espresso machine or a hair dryer. The wheels make this model especially ideal for homes where you'll want to take the power station from room to room.

Bluetti has yet to release launch dates or pricing details for both the Elite 300 and the Elite 320. We'll keep this page updated once we have that info.

In addition to these new launches, Bluetti packed some of the brand's favorites to showcase at CES. Now that we're in January, it's a great time to consider the Bluetti Pioneer Na(Sodium) portable power station which is ideal for extra cold temps. This is the model you'll want if you're going ice fishing or camping in the snow this winter. Bluetti launched the Pioneer Na(Sodium) this past September at IFA in Germany.

The Bluetti FridgePower is another great innovation which offers a slim profile to keep your refrigerator cooling in the event of a power cut. You can mount the FridgePower either vertically next to the fridge or horizontally. It offers 2,016Wh of power with a maximum pull of 1,800W.

We've all suffered through unskippable, annoying ads online. YouTube watchers, especially, know the struggle.

But Vietnam is working to ease that annoyance. The country has reportedly issued new rules that ban long, unskippable ads, instead limiting the portion you cannot skip to just five seconds, according to tech site Android Authority. The website Vietnam News reported that the new regulations are scheduled to go into effect on Feb. 15.

Wrote Vietnam News: "Under the new rules, viewers must be able to skip video advertisements and moving image sequences within five seconds."

Obviously, YouTube isn't the only platform that relies on unskippable ads, but it might be the largest platform and most common example. Advertising accounts for a significant portion of YouTube's business and is a primary source of revenue for creators. Google said last year it had paid about $100 billion to creators, artists, and media companies over the previous four years.

But users have complained about ads getting worse and more obtrusive. Vietnam moving to limit that pain could prove popular among folks who use YouTube.

This week, influencer Trisha Paytas teased a potential congressional run in a TikTok video with over five million views. (She also mentioned it in a YouTube video titled "2026 MANIFESTATIONS.")

The idea for her to be a California representative came to her in a dream, she said. "My main goal is to make it...adult work, not be legal until you're 25," she continued. (Paytas has posted content to OnlyFans in the past.) She has many other "agendas" too.

"I never thought of myself as a political person until I started having kids," Paytas said, and realized the world can be "dystopian." She said her campaign slogan would be "California could be good."

Paytas hasn't yet filed paperwork to run as of this writing, according to a search on the Federal Election Commission website. However, she mentioned important deadlines in her video, such as the need to formally declare her candidacy by March 6 (which appears correct according to the qualification requirements on California's government website).

Paytas didn't elaborate on her political leanings, nor has she posted about it on TikTok in the days following (though commenters are already saying they'll vote for her). She also didn't respond to my request for an interview.

Given that our president is a literal reality TV star, we shouldn't dismiss Paytas. With that in mind, I have some questions for her, in no particular order:

• What political party are you joining, if any?

• Why limit adult work to people 25 and up?

• What qualifies as "adult work," exactly?

• How do you feel about age-verification laws (which typically require visitors to websites that host explicit content to input personal data like a government ID or facial scan)?

• What are the other bills you want to present, as you mentioned in your YouTube video?

• Will you continue your podcast, Just Trish, if you win?

• Do you have any other political aspirations?

If Paytas is interested in responding, my inbox is always open.

SAVE $200: As of Jan. 8, the Ecovacs Deebot T50 Omni robot vacuum and mop is down to just $449 at Amazon. That's over 30% in savings and its best price on record.

Having a hard time deciding which robot vacuum to buy? With a severely oversaturated market and tons of different features to choose from, we totally understand the dilemma. If you want something that can vacuum and mop your floors without breaking the bank, this deal on the Ecovacs Deebot T50 Omni might be the factor that finally helps you decide.

As of Jan. 8, the Ecovacs Deebot T50 Omni robot vacuum and mop is down to only $449 at Amazon — $200 off its list price. That's over 30% in savings and its lowest price on record. Yes, even cheaper than it was during Cyber Week.

The thing with mopping robot vacuums is that not all of them can wash and dry their own mop pads. This is a total deal breaker in our eyes. Not only does that mean you have to do extra work yourself, but it can also translate to a smelly, mildewy mess. Fortunately, the T50 Omni does it all for you with its 10-in-1 hands-free Omni station. The Omni station essentially handles all the maintenance, thanks to 167°F hot water mop washing, 113°F hot air drying, auto dustbin emptying, water refilling, dirt detection, and cleaning solution auto-dispensing.

Other dealbreakers (in our eyes) are robot vacuums with less than 10,000 Pa suction power and no small obstacle avoidance and smart mapping on board. The T50 Omni checks all the right boxes, with 15,000 Pa suction power, AIVI 3D 3.0 smart navigation, and smart control with YIKO-GPT AI assistant.

A robot vacuum should make your life easier, not harder. The Deebot T50 Omni from Ecovacs is a solid pick for taking vacuuming and mopping off your hands. Plus, at over 30% off, it's easy on your wallet, too.
