iRobot Roomba 980 — Holiday Tech Gift Ideas for Aspiring Couch Potatoes

iRobot Roomba 980 — Holiday Tech Gift Ideas for Aspiring Couch PotatoesGearBrain

This latest upgrade from iRobot will cost you $900, but the Roomba 980 is one of the smartest robot vacuum cleaners on the market today. For example, if its path is blocked, the Roomba will search for and remember another way to clean up that mess in the corner. You can set up virtual walls to instruct the Roomba on where it shouldn't go, and you can control the device using Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. Yes, it's expensive — but the company is currently offering $100 off and providing free ground shipping. So that should help balance your budget, at least.

Dojo sends alerts when it detects unwelcome visitors on your Wi-Fi, even sending them to your smartphone via an app. The $199 price includes a full-year of service — a small price, perhaps, so you can catch up on "Game of Thrones" in peace.

The device starts at $149 for a version that connects via Bluetooth, and $199 if you also want Wi-Fi connectivity. (Available on Amazon.)

Oculus Rift is not the newest VR headset on the block, but it's easily still one of the best. The top reason is that content available from Oculus Experiences includes movies, documentaries, and even a virtual mountain climb, all done from the comfort of your home. Sure, Oculus costs $499 (and you'll need a PC to run the device), but this is one gift you can be sure won't be returned. (It's Available on Amazon.)

Botvac D7: Clean up from the couch – Holiday Tech Gift Ideas for Aspiring Couch Potatoes

Neato

Who has time to vacuum when you're trying to binge watch this season of "Ballers?" We get that — and you should understand that's why your pal with the sheepdog and HBO GO subscription hasn't tidied up in awhile. Here's how to fix that: a robot vacuum. Yes, we know this is the second on our list: but that's how much we think robot vacuums will be appreciated by any pal this year. The Botvac D7 is the latest smart vacuum from Neato, using laser technology to clean anything (really) from the floor. Priced at $799, the D7 model isn't yet released but its cheaper cousin, the $599 D5, can be purchased now. Neither is a small investment — but we think your friendship is probably worth it. (Botvac D5 available on Amazon.)

EasyFeed: Kibble orders itself — Holiday Tech Gift Ideas for Aspiring Couch Potatoes

EasyFeed

Marathon sessions of "The Office" are great — but Fido needs to be fed. How great is it to have someone — or something — make sure your pet has dinner taken care of? The $250 EasyFeed not only portions out meals automatically for cats and dogs, but can re-order kibble from Amazon when the device detects it's almost out. Just think: the EasyFeed is not a holiday gift for a TV viewing fan in your life, but also one who is a pet lover too. (For even more gifts for pet lovers, check out our High-Tech Holiday Gifts for Cats and Dogs) (Available on Amazon.)
