Dreameās L20 Ultra robot vacuum can clean itself. | Image: The Verge The Dreame L20 Ultra isnāt the companyās newest model, but itās still a great robovac / mop hybrid that offers strong performance while requiring very little day-to-day maintenance thanks to its included trash bin and AI obstacle avoidance. Verge readers can get for its best-ever price right now. Originally $1,400 when it launched in 2023, itās down to $279 from Wellbots with code L20VERGE. Dreame L20 Ultra Where to Buy: $1399.99 $279.99 at Wellbots (with code L20VERGE) What makes the L20 Ultra so great at this price is that it can do a lot on its own ā so much more than other robovacs at this price point. The included base station automatically empties the vacuumās dustbin, washes and dries the mop pads, and refills the robotās water tank between cleaning sessions. The L20 Ultra also offers reliable AI-powered obstacle avoidance and can quickly map your homeās layout, meaning you donāt need to babysit it as it cleans. Thanks to its large dust bin, you can ignore it for up to 75 days without having to empty it yourself.Ā The robovac does a good job of cleaning up carpets and hardwood floors alike, thanks to its 7,000Pa of suction power. Whatās more, its dual oscillating mop pads extend when needed to clean along baseboards and in corners. It can lift the mop pads over carpets, or return to its base station to have them removed. Of course, being a three-year-old robot vacuum, it lacks some of the upgrades found on newer models. For example, the $1,349.99 ($150 off) Dreame X60 ā currently one of our favorite robovacs ā offers a whopping 35,000Pa of suction, two rubber brushes, and a motorized swing arm that can climb over taller thresholds between rooms. Even without them, the L20 Ultra still offers a lot of premium features that arenāt typically offered at this price. window.HYPE_DESK_CONFIG = { productImageUrl: "https://platform.theverge.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/06/corsairddr5.jpg", productImageAlt: "Corsair DDR5 Memory", productTitle: "Corsair DDR5 Memory", shortDescription: "The upgrade your PC has been waiting for.", longDescription: "If your computer has been feeling sluggish lately, your memory might be the culprit.

Woot is selling the last-gen Bose Soundlink Flex portable Bluetooth speaker in refurbished condition for $69.99 with a one-year Bose warranty. Thatās $80 less than its original retail price. The portable Bluetooth speaker isnāt all that different from the newer model, and can deliver surprisingly expansive sound quality for its size. It also boasts a rugged IP67-rated design for dust and water resistance, and it lasts up to 12 hours on a single charge. Its controls arenāt the most intuitive weāve used, and it lacks support for higher-res AAC and aptX codecs, but we think those flaws are easy to overlook at this price.
