With the S8 MaxV Ultra, Roborock ensures every inch of your house is clean. The new model features a Flexi Arm Design with an extendable side brush that reaches into corners, while an Extra Edge Mopping System cleans along edges. A Reactive AI 2.0 Obstacle Recognition uses a 3D structured light and an RGB camera to identify and avoid obstacles in its path, and a PreciSense LiDAR navigation system scans rooms to create a map and determine the most efficient route. It upgrades suction power to 10,000Pa to pick up even more dust and dirt, a Carpet+ Boost System ups the hair pick-up rate by 30%, and the mopping system scrubs floors 4,000 times per second, detecting carpets and rugs along the way. With built-in voice assistance, users can start cleaning with a simple command, and when the job is done, the vacuum will retreat to its dock to automatically empty, wash, dry, and recharge itself. The S8 MaxV Ultra will be available April 22, 2024, and for a limited time, get a triple gift pack valued at $1,000 with your purchase.

Denny Zager rose to fame as part of the duo Zager & Evans in the late '60s, yet it's his guitars that have perhaps had the largest musical impact. Having applied his know-how to easy-to-play acoustic guitars, he's retiring this year — but is leaving with an oft-requested black lacquer version of his cutaway ZAD900CE model. With a lower string height, greater distance between the strings, a slim neck, and an intelligent bracing system to help movement, it's imminently playable, producing the same rich, warm sound that's made it a beloved favorite. Each lucky buyer will also receive a robust bonus package that includes a digitally humidified case, extra Zager PillowTouch strings, three carbon-tipped picks, a truss key, a stainless capo, a leather strap, a digital tuner, and a free lifetime membership to Mr. Zager's guitar lesson library..
