Not all technology is beneficial for everyone. For example, you might not need a one-wheel electric scooter or you might think the advent of glasses with built-in speakers will never be your jam, and that's all good. But smart home technology in particular can be helpful for most people.

If you're in the market for some smart home upgrades, we're seeing some great deals this week. Here are some of our favorites for the week of August 13:
If you stream shows or movies to your home's TV, you'll want a Bluetooth streaming stick. These small devices give you a dashboard to navigate to your favorite streaming platforms like Netflix, Hulu, and MAX. Thanks today's deal at Amazon, you can snag the Roku Streaming Stick 4K for just $34, marked down from the normal price of $49.99. That's a 32% discount.
Mashable shopping reporter Samantha Mangino put the Roku Streaming Stick 4K in a head-to-head battle with the Amazon Fire TV Stick. Her review of the two found the Roku Streaming Stick 4K to be significantly better in performance speed and user-friendly controls. "For me, Roku is very clearly the winner. Between its ease of use, quick navigation, and brilliant streaming, it's a no-brainer," wrote Mangino.
Some of the most beneficial smart home advancements have come in the category of robot vacuums. Thanks to today's deal, you can save $400 on our favorite Roomba model, the Roomba Combo j9+, spending $999 instead of the usual price of $1,399. While it's not an inexpensive robot vacuum by any means, it's an impressive robot that not only vacuums your floors but mops them too.
Mashable senior shopping reporter Leah Stodart is an expert on robot vacuums an found this model to the very best Roomba in 2024 and one of the only negatives she mentions is the high price, which is significantly discounted at Amazon this week.
In addition to the impressive performance both in vacuuming and mopping, the Roomba Combo j9+ is a dream when it comes to smart home tech since you can set it to clean on a specific schedule and forget about it for up to 30 days. Its charging dock also serves as a self-empty station that shouldn't need attention much more than once per month.
Summer is nearing its end which unfortunately means that smoke season could appear any day. To protect your health and the health of your family and pets, today is probably the best day to snag an air purifier — before the air quality drops and local stores sell out.
The Levoit Vital 200S-P air purifier is on sale today at Amazon for just $159.99, down from the usual price of $189.99. That's a $30 savings that'll leave you breathing easy should air quality drop. But an air purifier can also be great if you deal with seasonal allergies or have pets.
The Levoit Vital is designed to work in larger rooms (up to 1,800 square feet) with HEPA filtration. But to help extend the life of the filter, there's a washable pre-filter on the Levoit that can capture pet hair and dust.
Set schedules for the air purifier through the free app where you can also control settings and check the filter life.
