Lytro Light Field v1 Refurb for $119

in

My review here.

Available only today on Tech.Woot.com

Includes accessory case that would normally cost you a bit more.  Lytro's second generation camera was just introduced a short while ago, which is why they're clearing these out.  But, you get a 20% discount on the pre-order if you own a gen 1 - so if you think you want the Illum, this is effectively getting this camera for free!

Oh, and I recommend just getting the 8GB unless you're one to take pictures for weeks at a time and never downloading.

Neato XV-21 Pet Edition on Woot - $299

in , ,

Woot as the Neato XV-21 Pet edition.  This is a more robust (for pet hair and dander) version of Neato's robot vacuum.

It's regularly $429 at Best Buy here:  Neato Robotics - XV-21 Pet & Allergy Robotic Vacuum Cleaner - Light Gray/Purple.  And yes, it only comes in this one color almost certainly copying the Animal Series by Dyson.

 

Reviews on the Neato XV-21 are decent and you can see it being sold on Amazon for $377.  This makes this a pretty good deal today only.

Many people will invariabl ask how this compares with the Roomba.  This one will cover all areas better than Roomba will, and it has a stronger suction.  However it is louder, and makes only one sweep across the room, and also does not handle baseboards and corners well, so expect dirty corners.

Given the price today of the Neato XV-21 from woot, I'd pick this one over any Roomba available at the same price right now.
