Part of our job on the shopping team at Mashable is vetting the best tech, but also the gimmicky tech. That’s the case of the Roborock Saros Z70, a robot vacuum that comes with a mechanical arm to move obstacles. We vetted the robot vacuum, and while we don’t think it’s worth its usual $2,599 price tag, we’re more compelled by its current discounted price.

As of Oct. 23, the Roborock Saros Z70 is down to $1,399.99. That’s nearly $1,200 off its usual price tag of $2,599 for 46% savings. Not to mention, it’s the lowest price we’ve ever seen on the robot vacuum and mop.

So what’s so special about the Roborock Saros Z70 robot vacuum and mop? Well, let’s talk about the mechanical arm. The included grabby arm, as we affectionately call it, picks up objects, whether it be a stray sock or shoe, and moves them to their designated home. But how does this feature actually fair? It’s just okay — and our reviewer actually recommends turning it off.

Otherwise, the device still has powerful suction and scrubbing action, making it a solid combo robot vacuum and mop. While we didn’t think it was worth its $2,599 MSRP, it’s more worthy of its discounted price of $1,399.99 at Amazon.
