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 – Since their introduction to market, robot vacuums have become more and more prevalent – accounting for a $3 billion market in 2023. The tech has reached a point where these helpful little automatons can actually be useful with minimal human effort, and companies like Narwal are continuing to innovate in this space. We’re

REVIEW – Ultenic is a relatively new company, launching its first cordless (Models U10 and U11) and robotic vacuums (Model D5 and T10) in 2021. Their new flagship, MC1, has earned a place in my “orderly enthusiast” home, especially for mopping hardwood floors. Please join me for a closer look. What is it? The Ultenic

REVIEW – With two dogs running around my house this winter the floating hair situation becomes a crisis before you know it. Yes, I have robot vacuums, but sometimes I can’t wait for the robot to find the mess. I have to spring into action, and while I have had many great years out of

REVIEW – Vacuuming or dusting inside is such a thankless task: you clean today, and three days later, it looks like you’ve never cleaned! I have a long-haired dog, so I can live with a large amount of leaves, dirt, and sweet gum balls scattered around my house, but at some point, I just have

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

REVIEW – Earlier this year, my wife and I bought a Tineco iFloor 3 cordless wet-dry vacuum from Costco to replace our Roborock Dyad that bit the dust after one short year. We really like the iFloor 3 and still use it. However, Tineco offered the Floor One S7 Steam Vacuum for review and

REVIEW – I hate cleaning out my car, mainly because I have to drag our upright home vacuum cleaner out to the garage and wrestle it around the car to vacuum out the inside. It’s a pain, and if you have ever done that yourself, you know what I am talking about. Now, we do

REVIEW – A car wash at my local place is now $25 for the basic inside and outside scrub down. They do a good job, but can I afford $25 a trip? Nope. That’s why I’ve gotten quite good at cleaning my own car. The outside always looks great, but getting the carpets clean has

REVIEW – I love a clean floor, but I hate cleaning floors, so when something comes along that says it makes cleaning floors nearly “effortless,” I’m all in. Such is the claim of the Eureka New400 floor cleaner. It promises that you can both vacuum and mop at the same time, which could be a

REVIEW – When we bought our house 2 years ago we had hard floors and carpet put in. Our main vacuum was a huge, heavy plug-in that could suck a floor mat off the floor and destroy it. We added a self-cleaning robot vacuum which is good for a weekly run around the house, but

REVIEW – We’ve been using a wet/dry vacuum weekly (or at least we try to) for a couple of years, and though it’s still going strong I’m always interested in trying out new and different brands and models. I also use an Ultenic T10 robot vacuum that I reviewed 2 years ago, and it’s held

REVIEW – I’m a fan of stick vacuums. I’m not a fan of how filthy they are to empty and clean. No matter how careful you are when emptying them, dust and dirt get everywhere. The Tineco Pure One Station FurFree Smart Vacuum is a stick vacuum that doesn’t have that issue. It actually cleans
