Vacuum

REVIEW – I have been using a Dyson V10 Absolute stick vacuum in my home since 2018.  I am not the most careful cleaner, and that poor vacuum has taken some hits.  The side is cracked, and I can feel some suction escaping from the resulting hole.  I can also tell that the battery does […]

REVIEW – Robot vacuums are great, but there is often a trade off.  Sure, you get a clean floor – but you have to remember to make sure the robot is ready to go for the next time it needs to clean by emptying it’s dust bin.  Narwal is continuing to improve on their impressive

REVIEW – Vacuums are a necessity. They are usually heavily function-based, designed to clean, clunky, and cumbersome to use. The Ultenic U16 Flex Cordless Vacuum is part of the new design of vacuums that deliver on being lightweight, easy to use, and maybe even enjoyable to use. How well did this newer design and functionality

REVIEW – An Amazon search for “robot vacuum” yields an insane10,000+ results. My first was a Dyson 360 Eye in 2016. Since then, I’ve had at least two patrolling my house, gathering the flotsam and jetsam my family, pets, guests, and the wind leaves behind. I don’t know what I would do without them! My

REVIEW – Some years ago, I underwent back surgery. During several weeks of recovery, I realized there was a high probability that cleaning chores wouldn’t be a priority, and I put robotic vacuums on both floors of my house. I’ve used dozens of scrubbing gadgets and was eager to see SwitchBot’s S10 floor-cleaning robot. How

REVIEW – As the summer rolls on, I can’t think of anything I want to do less than break out the vacuum, kick up dust into my VERY air conditioned house, then mop?! Absolutely not. YEEDI M12 PRO+ Robot Vacuum and Mop has all the promise to keep my summer days lazy and my floors

REVIEW – Robot Vacuums Are still not as prevalent as other home appliances. However, as features and sophistication improve and people spend more time at home, I expect this segment to grow. I have a Narwal Freo X plus robot vacuum to review. This review of this model should be interesting, given all the new features

REVIEW – Years ago, I thought about getting an iRobot Roomba vacuum cleaner—until my wife squashed that idea like a bug. Her objections were quite valid at the time. We have dogs—and dogs sometimes have accidents. There were too many stories of robot vacuums covering the floor with those accidents. So we relied on vacuuming

REVIEW – I recently had the opportunity to put a vacuum cleaner through its paces. Sent to me by Vactidy, this lightweight “stick” styled device promised to be a game-changer. As I unboxed their six-in-one cordless self-standing vacuum cleaner, I was struck by the compactness of the packaging. But the real question remained: does the

REVIEW – With two dogs and two teenagers, I’ve become a collector of vacuums in the nonstop fight against dirt, dust bunnies, and dog hair. I’ve reviewed at least five stick vacs and four robovacs, and I’ve become pretty picky about which ones I choose to review. Eufy ticked all the boxes for me: self-emptying,

REVIEW – I mostly walk around the house barefoot, so keeping the floors squeaky clean is essential. Vacuuming and mopping using the Ultenic MC1 vacuum happens thrice weekly. Visually, they look great, and I seldom feel any dirt underfoot, but I was surprised with the crud Ultenic’s AC1 Elite cordless wet/dry vacuum cleaner picked up. What

REVIEW – Everyone who knows me knows that I love home automation. That includes automating mundane tasks like vacuuming and mopping. If you’re a regular reader of The Gadgeteer, you’ll know that I’ve tested a bunch of robot vacuums including several DEEBOT models from Ecovacs. The new X2 Omni represented a pretty significant change for
