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 – The Yeedi S14 Plus Robot Vacuum and Mop does it all: vacuums, mops, empties its own dustbin and dirty water, and cleans and dries the mop pad. For about $1,000, in a very busy household with two dogs and teenagers, I started this review with very high expectations for this robovac. Let’s see

REVIEW – The evolution of lightweight, multi-functional battery-operated vacuums has been remarkable, especially in terms of battery performance and versatility. The Trucozie 8-in-1 Lightweight Vacuum is a testament to this progress. Let’s put it to the test together! ⬇︎ Jump to summary (pros/cons) Price: $ Where to buy: Amazon What is it?

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 – If your carpet is more than 20 seconds old, it’s got some dirt in it. Add furry family members to the equation (or even those mini-humans with terrible balance) and you can join me in this boat of being really excited to review the Tineco CARPET ONE Cruiser. The latest entry in their

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

REVIEW—I like to think I keep a pretty neat and clean home. I wash my bed sheets once a week. That being said, I rarely clean the mattress protector or the mattress itself. I have seen a few reviews on other mattress vacuums and wondered if they were really worth the money and effort.  So

REVIEW – I reviewed SwitchBot’s K10+ small but powerful robot vacuum here and love it! It’s outstanding at navigating small spaces, under chairs, and into corners that are a galaxy far, far away from larger models. SwitchBot’s engineers have added a cordless stick vacuum to the package for a better cleaning experience. Amazing! What is

REVIEW – I had a dream once that I was driving somewhere and while sitting in traffic I turned on my Eureka J15 Pro Ultra combination mop and vacuum robot.  It whirred away while I listened to podcasts and when I came home, my whole downstairs floor was freshly mopped and vacuumed and was free

REVIEW – Robot vacuums keep getting smarter, and more powerful, and offer new and innovative features. The other thing they do is keep getting more expensive. The Ecovacs DEEBOT X2 OMNI that I reviewed about eight months ago lists for around $1,500 before any applicable discounts. Lots of folks out there are intrigued by robot

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
