The World Cup is here, and the sun is out. That usually means lots of extra work in the backyard, but it doesn’t have to be that way.
There is a plethora of smart products available today that will help you get chores done faster with less effort on your part — or none at all. That means you’ll have more time to spend just kicking back and watching your favorite team play, and less time stressing about the things that need to get done.
While Amazon’s massive four-day shopping event doesn’t officially kick off until tomorrow, major brands are already dropping deep discounts to get a head start. Here are five deals we think are worth checking out.

A dip in the backyard pool sounds great, but maintenance can be a headache. Cleaning a pool is a chore that takes up valuable time you could be spending watching the World Cup with friends instead — unless you use the Aiper Experts Duo, that is. What makes it special is that it consists of two distinct products: the AI-powered Aiper Scuba V3 is paired with the solar-powered Aiper EcoSurfer S2, and together they take care of every single inch of your pool.
The EcoSurfer S2 provides a completely carefree, 24/7 cleaning experience for up to seven days thanks to its enhanced solar panel. Whenever the battery runs low, the device automatically seeks out sunlight for an extra power boost using the company’s SolarSeeker™ technology. Meanwhile, with its cognitive AI Navium™ Mode, the Scuba V3 automatically creates weekly cleaning plans, taking factors like pool size, weather conditions, and cleaning history into consideration. Combined, you can easily go away for a week without a single worry and still come home to a crystal-clear pool. It doesn’t get any more carefree than that.
Not only is the Aiper Experts Duo smart, it’s incredibly fast as well. It can clean your pool up to 10x faster thanks to its AI Patrol Cleaning technology. It works by identifying visible debris in real time and immediately adjusting its cleaning route to eliminate dirt as quickly as possible. Working as a team, the two devices offer Top-to-Bottom 360° coverage across the pool floor, walls, waterline, and the water’s surface, ensuring nothing gets left behind.
The Aiper Experts Duo is also built to last. Utilizing two products means doubling the overall lifespan, as there is significantly less strain on each individual unit. Both are engineered from premium materials designed to easily withstand the elements — including intense summer sun and constant water exposure.
You can grab yours with a massive discount during Prime Day, which brings the price down to $1,099.99 from $1,499.98 — saving you $399.99. Android Authority readers can even get an extra 5% off on Amazon by using the code AAPD5OFF. Aiper also has deals on several other products, which you can check out here.
What better way to watch your favorite team play than in the comfort of your own backyard? The problem is that a standard indoor TV simply isn’t built for the open air. Dragging an indoor display outside is technically an option, but it requires a ton of extra work and planning; the hardware has to be completely shielded from elements like rain, and it must be kept hidden in deep shade to prevent the display from washing out due to extreme glare.
Samsung’s The Terrace (Full Sun Edition) is a far superior choice, as it is engineered from the ground up for the elements. It easily handles both water and dust, and thanks to its advanced Anti-Reflection technology and a super-bright 4K display, you can watch live matches under direct sunlight without missing a single frame of the action.
It is powered by Samsung’s intuitive Tizen operating system, giving you native access to a plethora of streaming apps like Netflix, YouTube, and major sports broadcasting platforms. It comes in 65-inch and 75-inch variants and starts at $7,500, although it’s currently 20% off. While that entry price is undeniably steep, the sheer ruggedness means you get a permanent backyard theater without the constant anxiety of weather damage. That said, if you are looking for a more budget-friendly entry point into outdoor viewing, Sylvox also makes a line of excellent alternative outdoor models.
Mowing your lawn manually is a time-consuming process, which ultimately means less time sitting in front of the TV. A robotic mower is the perfect solution, taking care of the grueling yard work for you to ensure your grass stays picture-perfect all summer.
Regardless of your backyard’s size, the Landroid Vision Cloud has you covered, offering three distinct variants tailored for 1/4-acre, 1/2-acre, and 1-acre lawns. By combining advanced Vision AI with RTK Cloud precision, the mower effortlessly sees, understands, and maps your property down to a single inch — all without the need for a clunky, permanent on-site antenna. It can handle inclines up to a 30% and features smart, automatic scheduling that dynamically adjusts its mowing habits based on real-time weather conditions.
Pricing varies depending on the specific model size and starts at $1,000, but is currently 22% off. While you can easily monitor and control the machine directly from its smartphone app, we highly recommend scheduling the mower to finish its route before kickoff to minimize any visual distractions while you’re watching the match outside.
A great backyard needs proper lighting to set the right mood, especially if you’re watching the matches outside into the evening. Govee offers several excellent solutions, but the one we recommend checking out first is the Govee Outdoor Clear Bulb String Lights.
These smart lights eliminate the nightly hassle of walking around the yard to flip switches or plug in cords. Thanks to automated scheduling and instant voice commands, your entire backyard pitch illuminates itself exactly at sunset or kickoff, keeping you firmly planted in your lawn chair.
They come in a few different lengths up to 144 feet and are IP67 rated, meaning they can handle heavy summer downpours with ease. You can effortlessly switch up the colors using the companion app, which features a massive library of 111 preset scene modes available for just about any occasion you can think of. The lights can even sync directly to audio thanks to a built-in microphone — the perfect feature for kickstarting a celebratory dance party after your favorite team wins a crucial World Cup match.
The unique teardrop-shaped design of the bulbs adds an elegant touch of style and personality to your outdoor space. On the performance side, they deliver a crisp 1,200 lumens of total brightness, offering more than enough illumination for all your late-night outdoor activities. To top it all off, these string lights support the Matter protocol, meaning they integrate seamlessly into your existing ecosystem for easy voice control via Gemini or Amazon Alexa. With pricing starting at just $75 (25% off), it is a highly accessible upgrade to round out your automated watch party setup.
What’s a great backyard lounge without high-quality sound? Whether you want to connect it to your outdoor TV via Bluetooth to hear every crucial World Cup play over the crowd noise or simply pair it with your smartphone to play some tunes, the Sonos Move 2 has you covered.
This premium speaker saves you from the time-consuming chore of running messy extension cords or wrestling with a complex multi-speaker outdoor audio installation just to get decent sound outside. Thanks to its massive 24-hour battery life and instant Bluetooth pairing, you just grab it by the handle, turn it on, and get straight back to your guests.
Because wide-open air quickly swallows up audio waves, a standard TV’s built-in audio can easily sound thin or get entirely drowned out by chatting guests. The Move 2 solves this by delivering rich, spacious stereo sound that vastly outclasses standard internal TV speakers, ensuring the stadium commentary stays crystal-clear. It is explicitly engineered for the elements with a rugged, drop-resistant frame and an IP56 weather-resistance rating, meaning it can easily survive unexpected summer downpours, poolside splashes, dirt, and intense direct sunlight.
The top of the speaker features intuitive capacitive touch controls, allowing you to skip tracks or pump up the volume on the fly without constantly fumbling for your phone. When the summer matches come to an end, its sleek aesthetic transitions perfectly into your living room or kitchen, blending right in as a premium indoor smart speaker. It is currently featured on Amazon for $100 off and comes in a few different colors.
