Why spend time mopping and vacuuming when you can do the both at the same time—and do it while you’re relaxing on the couch? This Ecovacs robot vacuum doubles as a mop to help you get all your cleaning done at once. We tested it and named it our “Runner-Up Best Robot Vacuum” because it was effective, and it’s currently on sale for 65 percent off. If you hurry, you can score an amazing $421 off discount while it’s on sale.
Thanks to the dual vacuum and mopping systems that operate at the same time, the device cleans all the floors in your house in one go to save you even more time and effort. We found that the two functions worked well together when we tested the vacuum. One thing the vacuum doesn’t do is incorporate cleaning solution, but we found a way around that by placing cleaning liquid on the mop pad.

We thought that the mapping technology worked effectively to learn the layout of our lab room and our houses to determine the most efficient cleaning path. It detects obstacles, like furniture, to avoid collisions, and it recognizes rugs so it will only spray water on hard floors to keep your carpets dry.
You’ll get nearly two hours of cleaning time when the robot vacuum is fully charged, and it returns to the charging station when it’s low on battery, which means you don’t even have to remember to charge it. There’s no need to empty the device after every use because it automatically empties itself into the dock, too.
During testing, we had no difficulty navigating the vacuum’s app to control it. Using the app, you can set up cleaning schedules, and if you just need to spot clean, you can adjust the settings to have it run in only one room.
You really can’t beat the price of this robot vacuum and mop

While a light hand is apropos for many pruning jobs, sometimes a judicious but heavy hand is needed. Rejuvenation pruning is a heavy-handed but efficient method to bring overlooked, overgrown, and mismanaged shrubs back to their full potential. It is performed by removing every branch at or a few inches above ground level with a sturdy hand saw, loppers, or even a small chainsaw. For many shrubs in Mid-Atlantic gardens, winter is the perfect time to perform rejuvenation pruning. This is because in our zonal range, most woody plants are dormant and therefore exposed cuts are less likely to become pathways for pests and diseases (which are also dormant). And, when spring weather finally arrives, the shrubs will be perfectly poised to push new, healthy growth.
