Our lives get busier by the year, and so if you want to reduce your workload at home, you might want to try out a robot vacuum. I've used a robot vacuum and mop system for years and find that being able to schedule a tidy and clean does reduce some of the mental workload. With $450 off the Roborock Qrevo Pro robot vacuum and mop, you might want to do the same.

Google's Nest Doorbell provides notifications for people, animals, packages, and vehicles, as well as two-way audio, all of which can be managed through the Google Home app. This model is battery-powered, meaning you'll need to remove it to charge every so often, but it can be used with doors that don't have doorbell wires. You can purchase a subscription for unlimited video history, but Google's free tier offers up to three hours of recorded motion events.

If you want clip-on earbuds but can't justify the price of Bose's more expensive offering, Shokz's OpenDots One deliver great sound, up to 40 hours of playback, a lightweight and secure design, and an IP54 dust and water resistance rating.

How did we choose these October Prime Day deals?

ZDNET authors only write about deals that interest us personally and include products that we own, have previously tested, or are on our own wishlists.

Our experts look for deals that are at least 20% off (or are normally not on sale), using established price comparison tools and trackers to determine whether the deal actually represents value for your money. We also explore customer reviews to find out what matters to those who already own and use the products and deals we're recommending.
