Ecovacs Deebot 901 robot vacuum (refurbished) on sale for $250 off

Robot vacuums reduce the effort it takes to clean your floors, but they can sometimes cost a small fortune. We’ll let you in on a little secret: Shopping refurbished can get you a high-quality vacuum without costing you an arm and a leg.

Now until May 14, you can grab the Ecovacs Deebot 901 robot vacuum on sale for $249.99 in the PCMag Shop, a savings of 50%.

This vacuum is smart: It can scan and map your space to give you customizable cleaning choices. It also follows an optimized back-and-forth path rather than a random one, which saves time and ensures thoroughness across different floor types.

You are able to control the Deebot 901 via the Ecovacs app or by using voice commands with Alexa and Google Assistant. You can monitor progress in the app as it cleans. After the vacuum is done running its route it automatically returns to its dock to recharge.

A refurbished Ecovacs Deebot 901 sells for $325 at Amazon, so you’ll be saving $75 by shopping the PCMag Shop where it’s $249.99 (which is $250 cheaper than buying new, BTW).
