REVIEW – I’ve been really jealous of the other Gadgeteers who’ve gotten a robot lawn mower to review. Seriously. A robotic lawn mower has to be the coolest toy/tool going. Remember back when it was the robot vacuum? Pssh. They’ve got nothing on this. Who wouldn’t love having a robot cut the lawn on a […]

REVIEW – Let me begin this review by saying that my wife—“Queen Cheri”—is a clean freak. She hates dirty floors. We use a Noesis Florio robot vacuum to clean 1-2 times per week, and then she vacuums every Saturday using her beloved Dyson stick vacuum. After she’s done vacuuming the floors spotless (the Dyson’s laser

REVIEW – Looking for the top contender in pool cleaning robots? The Beatbot AquaSense 2 Ultra should be on your list, knowing that its price is up there. What that gets you, however, is multi-modal cleaning, AI mapping, 4 plus hours, depending on cleaning mode, and a charging dock that makes sure it’s ready to

REVIEW – Pool cleaning can feel like a full-time job, but after reviewing our first robotic pool cleaner, I quickly realized that this task is far more manageable with the right tools. When I began looking to replace our AIRROBO PC100 Cordless Robotic Pool Cleaner, the opportunity to review the Fanttik Aero X Cordless Robotic

REVIEW – As I’ve gotten older, I developed what’s called Interstitial Lung Disease. In a nutshell, I can’t exert myself as I once did with yard work, especially in the hot, humid Florida climate. That resulted in having to spend hundreds of dollars per month for a lawn service (we have a 1-acre backyard). When

REVIEW – Each May, we give our pool vacuum a good workout when we open our inground pool for the year. At the end of last season, our third pool vacuum died. When we saw the option to review the AIRROBO PC10, we knew we’d put it to good use. This is our fourth vacuum

REVIEW – While I can’t get enough of a good robot vacuum cleaner, you really can’t get away without a cordless stick vacuum. Sometimes, you just need something for quick pickups or to vacuum the car mats or other upholstery. When the last stick vacuum I reviewed gave up the ghost, I asked for the

REVIEW – A few weeks ago, on March 29, 2025, we published my review of the best robot vac/mop I ever tested – the DEEBOT X8 PRO OMNI robot vacuum and mop from Ecovacs. You can imagine my surprise when I got an offer to review the brand-spanking new DEEBOT X9 PRO OMNI a few

REVIEW – If you’ve read my other reviews, you know that we vacuum regularly. I’ve tested any number of robot vacuums/mops with varying results. Those work great on floors but other things, like mattresses, need cleaning too. We’ve taken our Dyson stick vacuum and cleaned our mattresses but when the opportunity to test a dedicated
REVIEW – I have reviewed a slew of robot vacuums and vac/mops. Every generation seems to get a little bit better, but overall, the design remains the same, albeit with a tweak here and there. Today, we’re looking at an entirely new generation of robot vac/mop that abandons the traditional rotating mopping plates in favor
