Hosting Thanksgiving dinner is fun and all, but the amount of cleaning you have to do afterward can be exhausting. The Narwal Freo X Ultra robot vacuum / mop hybrid can help speed things up, though, and it’s currently down to an all-time low of $849.99 (about $690 off) at Best Buy and Amazon (when you apply the on-page coupon).

The Narwal Freo X Ultra is one of our favorite robot vacuums for mopping. It features a commendable 8,200Pa of suction power and a host of welcome features, including a set of spinning triangular mops that allow it to clean hard surfaces exceptionally well. It can adjust the amount of pressure applied by its mop based on floor type, too, and can even make its own “cleaning decisions,” one of which will prompt it to remop your floors if they remain dirty after its initial pass. It can also clean its own mop pads and offers support for several voice assistants, including Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant.

Additionally, the Freo X Ultra can accurately map your home and touts a disposable onboard bin that can compress dust, so there’s no need to contend with a noisy auto-empty dock. Narwal’s accompanying mobile app isn’t the best, nor is the vacuum’s onboard obstacle avoidance, but you’d be hard-pressed to find a more balanced option for the price.

A superior mopping bot with a superior price tag, the Narwal is smart enough to know when it needs to go back and mop more. Its vacuuming is good, and its unique onboard compression bin means no loud auto-emptying.

Sony’s last-gen WH-1000XM4 headphones are available from Amazon, Best Buy, and Sony starting at $196.01 ($154 off). The older XM4 remain a great pair of headphones with terrific active noise cancellation and sound, even if the slicker XM5 offer slightly better ANC and improved voice call quality.
