Amazon cuts prices ahead of Black Friday

Five weeks before Black Friday, Amazon has already reduced part of its tech catalog, including home maintenance and gaming peripherals. The most significant price drops on this Thursday are on robot vacuums, with two Roborock and two Lefant models, and on office and home equipment such as mice, keyboards, surveillance cameras, and cordless vacuum cleaners.

Lefant robot vacuums see steep discounts

Among the offers, the Lefant M3 Max robot vacuum cleaner is available at 329.99 € instead of 1,199.99 €, or 313.49 € with a 5% discount voucher that needs to be checked on the product page. The Lefant M330 Plus 3-in-1 robot vacuum cleaner is at 109.99 € instead of 399.99 €.

Roborock models also on sale

Two Roborock models, the Qrevo 2 Pro and the Qrevo Curv 2 Pro, are also on sale, at 499.99 € instead of 689.99 € and 599 € instead of 749 €, respectively. The Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Pro has returned to its lowest price of the last three months.

Other tech products get price cuts

The Polti Rollysteam WD50C cordless steam vacuum cleaner is at 349 € instead of 589 €, and the Razer Pro Click V2 Vertical mouse is at 82.99 € instead of 99.99 €. The SteelSeries Apex Pro TKL Gen 3 magnetic gaming keyboard is at 179.99 € instead of 249.99 €, the EZVIZ CB90 wireless outdoor camera kit is at 189.99 € instead of 279.99 €, and the Rowenta X-PERT 6.80 cordless vacuum cleaner is at 139.99 € instead of 199.99 €.

Software and services also discounted

For non-hardware products, Cyberghost VPN is available at 2.19 €/month for 2 years + 2 months free, pCloud Pass Premium is at 119 € for life instead of 239 €, and Avast One Premium Security antivirus is at 3.04 €/month for 1 year. Intego One Complete antivirus for Mac + iPhone is at -35 % for 2 years, and 1minAI offers lifetime access for less than 36 €.

Price comparisons vary by product

The crossed-out prices for some products, such as the Lefant robots, are based on the lowest prices of the last 30 days according to Amazon, but these amounts are not confirmed by independent historical data. In contrast, the Razer mouse, Arlo pack, and the two Roborocks are at their lowest prices of the last three months according to LeDénicheur.

Roborock models tested for performance

The Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Pro, which was tested, has a suction power of 25,000 Pa, a precise SmartPlan mode, and an autonomy exceeding three hours. It is only 7.98 cm high, but its station is all plastic, and the mops require manual wiping after a few weeks. The Roborock Qrevo 2 Pro, released in August, also has 25,000 Pa suction and a station that washes and dries mops with hot water.

Other products highlight unique features

The Polti Rollysteam WD50C cordless vacuum cleaner can clean and sanitize floors in a single pass, emitting steam without detergent. The Razer Pro Click V2 Vertical mouse has a vertical position that relieves the forearm, a sensor with 30,000 ppp, and a weight of 150 g. The Glorious Model O 2 Mini Wireless mouse weighs only 57 g and targets competitive shooting games, with a 26,000 dpi sensor and three connection modes.

Some discounts lack historical context

The discounts for the SteelSeries Apex Pro TKL Gen 3 keyboard, the EZVIZ CB90 camera, and the Rowenta X-PERT 6.80 vacuum cleaner are calculated from a suggested price without available historical data to verify it. The Arlo Floodlight 2 is actually at the same price at Boulanger and Fnac.
