This robot vacuum has a 10,000Pa Vormax suction, a floating rubber brush for reducing hair tangles, and an ultrasonic carpet recognition tool for adjusting cleaning performance on rugs and carpets. The mop uses DuoScrub with two high-speed rotary mop pads to remove even the most stubborn dirt and spills. And for those hard to reach areas, the edge recognition and extendable mop make sure no area is left untouched.

It also comes with a docking station. It's here the robot vacuum will empty all its dirt and dust, and it can be stored for up to 75 days before you need to manually empty it. It will also automatically clean the mop here, and use warm air to dry it. It even refills the water and tops it up with cleaning solution automatically, so there's nothing for you to do but sit back, relax, and enjoy your clean floors.

This robot vacuum deal is available at Amazon now.

The Moon is now almost completely out of sight, with just a few days left until the New Moon. Keep reading to see what, if anything, you might be able to spot in the night sky tonight.

What is today’s Moon phase?

As of Thursday, May 14, the Moon phase is Waning Crescent. Tonight, 9% of the moon will be be lit up, according to NASA's Daily Moon Guide.

To spot anything in the sky tonight, you’ll need either binoculars or a telescope. With the help of one, you should be able to make out the Grimaldi Basin.

When is the next Full Moon?

There are two Full Moons in May, with the next due to take place on May 31.

What are Moon phases?

According to NASA, the Moon takes about 29.5 days to complete a full orbit around Earth, moving through eight distinct phases along the way. Although we always see the same side of the Moon, the changing angle of sunlight as it orbits creates the familiar full, half, and crescent shapes. In total, the lunar cycle is made up of eight main phases:

New Moon - The Moon is between Earth and the sun, so the side we see is dark (in other words, it's invisible to the eye).

Waxing Crescent - A small sliver of light appears on the right side (Northern Hemisphere).

First Quarter - Half of the Moon is lit on the right side. It looks like a half-Moon.

Waxing Gibbous - More than half is lit up, but it’s not quite full yet.

Full Moon - The whole face of the Moon is illuminated and fully visible.

Waning Gibbous - The Moon starts losing light on the right side. (Northern Hemisphere)

Third Quarter (or Last Quarter) - Another half-Moon, but now the left side is lit.

Waning Crescent - A thin sliver of light remains on the left side before going dark again.

Leading mobile carriers are battling it out to offer you the most tempting deals. They all want you to make the switch, but right now, T-Mobile has gained the upper hand on the likes of Verizon and AT&T by dropping a free iPhone deal that doesn't require a trade-in.

For a limited time, you can claim the Apple Phone 17 for free when switching to T-Mobile and bringing your number on an Experience Beyond or Better Value plan. It's a straightforward offer that removes the trade-in barrier associated with a lot of these "free deals."

The iPhone 17e is also available for free with any T-Mobile plan (without a trade-in). For power users, the iPhone 17 Pro could be yours if you trade in your eligible phone in any condition on an Experience Beyond or Go5G Next plan. For all of these deals, you do need to pay taxes and a $35 device connection fee. There's the catch, but it's a small price to pay for a free iPhone.

The iPhone 17 is primed and ready to handle Apple’s most advanced AI features. In Mashable's review, Stan Schroeder said it's an "excellent phone that matches the iPhone Pro models in many ways that matter." According to our review, the camera is "almost as good as the one on the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max."
