The Roomba® i7+ robot vacuum uses Imprint™ Smart Mapping technology to learn a home’s floor plan, so it knows the kitchen from the living room, giving the user total control to choose which rooms are cleaned and when.

Have a gamer in your life? This is the lightest Esports gaming mouse at 69g with new Razer optical switch — 3x faster than mechanical switches, 99.4% Resolution Accuracy and new Razer Speedflex Cable for less drag and unhindered flicks while playing.
