This super-suctioning robovac (a record-low $89) may become your BFF: 'I named it Rosie'
Having a robot vacuum in your home is the ultimate luxury: You simply kick back and relax while it does the dirty work, cleaning your floors for you. (The dream!) But robovacs typically come with a very unrelaxing price tag. Well, get ready for some serious serenity — Amazon is offering a deal that slashes the price of the highly rated Lefant M210 Robot Vacuum to just $89 (down from $200). That saves you nearly 60%, and just in time for spring cleaning!
Robot vacuums are usually expensive to begin with, but the M210 is down to as low a price as we've ever seen it. This is one of the best robovac deals you can snag at Amazon, and it has thousands of five-star ratings from users to back it up.
The Lefant robovac is slim enough to glide under sofas and other often-neglected areas in your home that could use a de-dusting. To make things extra hands-off, you can control all the action via app.
Thanks to the M210's built-in infrared sensor, this little robo-pal can automatically detect walls, stairs and more, without damaging furniture or falling down stairs. And you don't have to follow it around until it's finished — when the vac starts running out of power or finishes cleaning, it will automatically return to the charging dock for more juice.
The M210 follows a zig-zag route for effective cleaning, so you don't have to worry about spots getting missed. At under 3 inches tall, this baby can effortlessly cruise under end tables and furniture like it's nothing.
Over 8,600 owners rave about how well the M210 performs across a variety of flooring.
"The capacity is large enough to handle a cleaning of our 1,000 square-foot home with cats and a dog and two adults," shared one happy customer. "It does not fall down our basement steps and does not seem to get stuck in too many places. I am impressed that it actually goes over our very fluffy rug and covers all of our hardwood and tile floors as well."
This shopper revealed, "We had an issue running our normal robot vac ... It was too loud and scared my daughter (two years) and my dog ... so far I really like this. It's quiet, no need to raise the volume on the TV; I ran it last night and no one heard it. It does seem to have to try a little more to get on the rugs, but I think I might try to double-side tape them down where it's having the issue."
A third user wrote, "I love this little vacuum! I named it Rosie, after the robot maid from The Jetsons. She does a great job of cleaning up after six people in a tiny house. I mainly use it in the kitchen to clean up the little crumbs the kiddos leave behind. ... Overall, I love this little vacuum so much that I am thinking about getting one for my parents for Christmas."
And talk about a space saver, this reviewer said it has them ditching their broom and dustpan. "I have no carpet in my mobile home, kids in and out constantly. I have swept every hour in the house since we have lived here. I've had this robot for three weeks now and have not touched my broom and dustpan! This thing has saved my sanity!"
"It does a nice job getting up all the dirt and runs for quite a while," shared a buyer. "In addition, the app on the phone works great too. The only thing is that I wish it would work on both my wife's and my phone, but it will only pair with one phone at a time."
"I will say, one con is that it has a hard time finding home," noted a final fan. "Sometimes it takes forever. To combat this though, I send it home when it still has a decent amount of battery life left so it doesn't die before it gets there. Other than that, it's amazing. Never realized how dirty my floors were until I got this."
True, this robovac doesn't have a mopping feature, but this Yahoo editor-approved find will take care of that:
If you have Amazon Prime, you'll get free shipping, of course. Not yet a member? No problem. You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here. (And by the way, those without Prime still get free shipping on orders of $35 or more.)

UK's GCA to probe Amazon for alleged delays in supplier payments
UK's GCA launches probe into Amazon alleged delays in supplier payments The UK's Groceries Code Adjudicator (GCA) has initiated a probe into Amazon after concerns about alleged potential violations of regulations governing the timely payment to suppliers. The inquiry stems from suspicions that Amazon may have violated paragraph 5 of the code (no delay in payments) between 1 March 2022 and 20 June 2025. It will particularly scrutinise practices since 1 January 2024 to gain a comprehensive understanding of Amazon's current procedures. The investigation will assess the extent of any breaches, their impact on suppliers and the underlying causes. The GCA will examine Amazon's practices related to receiving goods, payment processes, handling supplier concerns about payment deductions and the use of settlements od deductions in its commercial negotiations. The GCA's decision to investigate follows previous interactions with Amazon. Mark White, the adjudicator, informed Amazon in 2024 that it must take decisive action to adhere to the code. White stated: 'Delays in payment can significantly harm suppliers. The alleged delays could expose Amazon suppliers to excessive risk and unexpected costs, potentially affecting their ability to invest and innovate. 'I decided to launch this targeted investigation based on the range of evidence I have seen from multiple sources. It will allow me to determine whether Amazon has breached paragraph 5 of the Groceries Code and the root cause of any breach.' The GCA states that despite Amazon's subsequent efforts, further detailed evidence from suppliers requires targeted investigation into payment practices. Reports have been received of other Groceries Code issues at Amazon. The GCA continues to work with Amazon to resolve these matters and remains prepared to initiate further investigations if required. White has called upon direct suppliers and stakeholders to contribute evidence and share their experiences of supplying to Amazon, as part of the GCA's evidence-gathering process for the ongoing investigation, stating: 'All responses will be completely confidential.' In June 2025, Amazon announced plans to downsize its corporate staff as it integrates generative AI technology into its business processes.

‘Uncertain' 2025, M&A Deadlock Freeze $1 Trillion in PE Assets
The word of the year on Wall Street, without a doubt, has been uncertainty. It's the catch-all to describe everything from the fog of trade to nonstop geopolitical tensions. The inherent uncertainty of uncertainty also makes it hard to put a price tag on its impact, but last week, accounting firm PwC offered up a number: $1 trillion. That's the value of unsold assets that would have been returned to investors if it weren't for private equity groups holding on to them while remaining in an uncertainty-driven holding pattern. READ ALSO: Amazon's Driverless Cab Company Zoox Revs Up 'Toaster Taxis' and Cybersecurity Giant Palo Alto Networks Caught Between Opportunity and Maturity With New Year's fireworks in January, Wall Street was full of hope for an M&A boom driven by an incoming Trump administration with deregulation at the heart of its agenda — and lighter scrutiny from regulators when rules come into play. You know the deal: President Trump has focused on other priorities to start his second term, and the resulting market limbo has put deals on hold. According to PwC analysts, plans for initial public offerings (IPOs) of companies worth a combined $120 billion were shelved in the first three weeks of April. The Federal Reserve's decision to hold off on rate cuts to wait for the potential impacts of tariffs has had a resulting domino effect: a lack of cheap debt, as higher interest rates make debt more expensive. PwC noted that 30% of the $3 trillion that private equity firms have invested in roughly 30,000 companies has been held for more than five years, an unusually long period compared with the typical timetable for PE shops to turn a profit on an investment. This, they surmised, is in part because they have been less able to finance growing companies without cheap debt. 'In a typical M&A cycle, $1 trillion would have already been put back into the market,' Josh Smigel, a PwC partner, said on a media call. The data, meanwhile, looks like a set of spinning wheels: Deal volume and value have been more or less flat year-over-year, PwC said, with roughly 4,500 deals worth a total of $567 billion through May. In response to PwC's May Pulse Survey, 30% of respondents said they have paused or revisited deals because of tariff concerns, which would delay investor returns. 'While nearly half (48%) of the business executives surveyed expect today's uncertainty to last less than a year, many anticipate it could extend through the next presidential election,' reads the report. Change Your Mind? With the possibility that the worst of the tariff warring is over, May data provides a more optimistic scenario. The number of deals worth more than $100 million climbed 6.1% from April, according to an EY-Parthenon analysis of Dealogic data, though overall deal volume fell 6.2% from May 2024.

Amazon's Driverless Cab Company Zoox Revs Up ‘Toaster Taxis'
Amazon hopes ride-hailers love direct eye contact because its carriage-style robotaxis feature four seats facing each other. After cutting the ribbon on a new factory in California, Amazon is ramping up production of its bidirectional, self-driving cabs ahead of a planned launch in Las Vegas later this year. The Bay Area facility currently churns out one robotaxi a day, but Zoox hopes to boost that rate to three an hour by next year. After buying Zoox five years ago for $1.3 billion, Amazon is prepping a big push onto the roads of major cities (first, Las Vegas and later, San Francisco, Austin and Miami). But rivals are already there. READ ALSO: Cybersecurity Giant Palo Alto Networks Caught Between Opportunity and Maturity and 'Uncertain' 2025, M&A Deadlock Freeze $1 Trillion in PE Assets Alphabet's Waymo said it provides 250,000 rides a week in its self-driving cabs, up from 10,000 two years ago. Riders can hail a driverless Jaguar from Waymo's app in Austin, Los Angeles, Phoenix and San Francisco. Waymo also recently applied for a permit to operate in New York City, where state law will require a driver, though the company is pushing to change that provision. So far, Waymo is the only fully operational self-driving taxi service in the US, but Tesla is trying to join it ASAP: CEO Elon Musk promised in 2021 that Tesla would have a million robotaxis on the road by now, which … didn't happen. Tesla did, however, put a small group of robotaxis on the road in Austin, Texas, last weekend, which Musk described in a virtual victory lap as 'the culmination of a decade of hard work.' Regulators are investigating Tesla's self-driving tech in connection with fatal accidents as critics raise red flags about its robotaxi's lack of lidar and radar, which Waymo and Zoox use. Waymo and Zoox have been investigated after incidents including erratic driving. Yellow Light. Zoox is trying to join a race that Waymo's already a few laps into, but Waymo may have made the road a little smoother. Waymo eased riders into the concept of driverless taxis with its fleet of Jaguars, which look like regular cars with some extra gadgets whirring around. Zoox's autonomous taxis don't even have a steering wheel, so Zoox has planned a marketing push to persuade riders to hop into its toaster taxis. What'll probably be more important for swaying would-be riders is how safe upcoming robotaxi rollouts are. This post first appeared on The Daily Upside.
