Vacuum

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 – 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

My robotic vacuum is programmed to clean once a day, but I also find it helpful to have a cordless stick vacuum handy for quick clean-ups, stairs, my car, and hard-to-reach spots. Let’s see if the Belife cordless vacuum fits the

REVIEW – SkyNet didn’t take over the world all at once.  No, it did it in steps, incremental improvements until it was able to eventually become self-aware and the robot overlords took over.  I don’t want to alarm you but it’s happening today.  We’re witnessing it with the latest incremental improvements from robot vacuum experts,

REVIEW – I have had a robot vacuum in my house since 2018, when I reviewed the Deenkee I7 Robotic Vacuum Cleaner. Since then, robot vacuum cleaners have come a long way in being more efficient and offering other functions like mopping and vacuuming.  In my ongoing effort to keep my house clean with as
