Lindsay Weekes, Deputy Editor: Roomba Robot Vacuum
Our deputy editor Lindsay has two toddlers and just added a dog to her family a few weeks ago. To make her life easier, she’s been on the hunt for a great deal on a robot vacuum. Lindsay will be snatching up this Roomba for $200. This is the lowest price we’ve seen by $100.
We had a suspicion that Amazon would have deals on Roomba for Prime Day. They were low on stock on several Roomba models, a hint that something was coming. If the Roomba is still a little out of budget this year, checkout our list of The 4 Best Roomba Alternatives.
Lindsay will also be searching for deals on a new iPad and a new pair of these ColorfulKoala leggings.
David Dritsas, Consumer Electronics Editor: Upgraded Echo Dot
Our electronics expert David reports that Prime Day is the best time to buy Amazon devices. They have the best prices of the year right now, and we likely will only see them matched during Black Friday sales.
He’ll be upgrading his 3rd generation Echo Dot for the new 4th generation model. Regularly $49.99, the Echo Dot is just $19.99 right now through Prime Day. This is the lowest price we’ve ever seen on an Echo Dot!
David will also be hunting for great sales on camping equipment and would love to score a deal on a hammock.

She’s also on the prowl for a pineapple peeler and corer. This viral kitchen tool has been in the spotlight for the past two years and she’d love to finally snag a great deal on one.
