Controlling my dog’s shedding is one of the biggest challenges for both robot and cordless vacuums in my home, so I get excited when I find one that rises to the occasion. The Roborock H60 Hub Ultra<!–> is one that accomplishes this task beautifully, capable of handling the sea of pet hair my dog sheds on a daily basis without a hiccup, as well as all the crumbs and other challenges my young kids throw at it.

Also: The best Black Friday deals live now

Right now, you can buy this outstanding cordless vacuum for 45% off, with a Black Friday Deal dropping its price to $330, down from its original price of $600.

Rest assured, when I say this vacuum is outstanding, I mean it. Roborock commided on creating a strong stick vacuum that is sure to last, and not just figuratively: the H60 Hub Ultra boasts a 90-minute battery life on a single charge, so it can go from the first floor to the second story to the stairs in between.

The cordless vacuum has a set of green LEDs that cast a 140-degree wide dust detection range, which sounds like snake oil but is actually incredibly effective. This light helps you see crumbs, dust, and hair that isn’t always visible in typical lighting conditions, which helps you guide the vacuum to where you need it to go.

While a lot of both robot and cordless vacuum promise a tangle-free cleaning  experience, very few deliver when faced with the amount of pet hair on my floors every day. However, Roborock crushed that challenge. The H60 Hub Ultra truly gives you tangle-free cleaning, so you don’t have to worry about having to stop your cleaning sessions to cut out or detangle hair from the roller brush. 

The charging dock is what gives this device its Hub moniker. When you place the handheld vacuum at the dock to begin charging, it’ll automatically empty the contents of its dustbin into a dustbag stored within it. The bag can collect up to 100 days’ worth of dust and debris, so it lets you go about three months before changing it for a new one.

Having to replace a dustbag at the dog is unfortunately my biggest pet peeve with both robot and cordless vacuums, as it represents an extra cost you’ll have to undertake over the years. 

The H60 Hub Ultra’<!–>s excellent performance and unmatched ability to control the pet hair on my floors, is enough to convince me to get it.

How I rated this deal

The Roborock H60 Hub Ultra–> is a relatively new product, so we haven’t seen it majorly discounted yet. The 45% off Black Friday deal, however, is the lowest price we’ve ever seen it go for, so it received a 4/5 deal rating. The only reason this deal didn’t get a 5/5 is that it’s simply not as budget-friendly in the long-term as bagless solutions, but that’s mostly a personal preference.

I tested the ReMarkable Paper Pro, and can’t go back to ‘real’ paper – especially at this price

I’ve tested every iPad model – here’s why I still recommend the Mini (especially for $100 off)
