REVIEW – I’m always looking for gadgets that make my household chores faster and easier. The idea of a vacuum and mop combo, which would theoretically cut in half the time it takes to clean my floors, is an exciting prospect. I’ve tested other wet/dry vacs, but the INSE W5 stood out because it’s cordless, […]

REVIEW – The portable vacuum cleaner was invented and patented by James Spangler in 1908. In the 114 years since the concept remains the same, but the technology has continued to improve. Now “Stick” vacuums are ubiquitous. Every house should have one… or two… or a bunch. Let’s have a look at Ganiza’s model V20

REVIEW – We have a dog that sheds quite a bit, so for many years we have relied on handheld cordless vacuums for lots of cleaning jobs around the house, and they get used literally every day. We have used just about every brand you can think of, from bargain brands to expensive models. We

REVIEW – I remember a time when having the carpets cleaned was an event. We were told to stay out of the house for the entirety of a Saturday and not to come back until it was dark. 12-year-old me was already on my bike by first light. Coming home was surreal; any moveable furniture

REVIEW – No one likes to vacuum. At least, no one that I know. And even fewer people like to mop their floors. So wouldn’t it be great if there was a machine to handle those tasks for you? One that you can control from your phone? There is! It’s the ILIFE A11 LiDAR robot

REVIEW – I’ve mentioned before that my goal is to get robots to do my bidding before the machines become self-aware and go all Terminator on us. I’m both happy and terrified to report that we are one step closer to that day with the new X1 OMNI cleaning robot from Ecovacs. Let’s check it out.

NEWS – It feels like we’ve reviewed hundreds of robot vacuums and I’m not going to diss them because I actually have 3 of them in my house! I rarely use an old-school corded vacuum anymore. But there are many times when a robot vacuum is overkill for small cleaning tasks. That’s where the Vabroom

REVIEW – I had given up on robovacs. After trying several, they would get stuck in corners, I had trouble with their corresponding apps, and they just didn’t clean all that well. Plus, their tiny dust cartridges were no match for my pups’ dog hair. However, I’ve been using my Roborock stick vacuum daily for

REVIEW – Think all robot vacs are the same? They certainly all seem round. Trifo’s Ollie fits that mold but had a few surprises for me through the test period, and it’s been reliable enough that it’s definitely worth a look if you’re thinking a robot vac is in your future. What is it? The

REVIEW – I have two cats, a son, and a spouse who sheds more hair than all of us combined so sweeping and vacuuming are daily duties in my house. I enlisted the Shellbot SL60 robot vacuum to help combat the waves of wayward follicles. Let’s see if it can help me hold the line. What

REVIEW – A cordless stick vac was not something I thought I’d ever need. We have a LIDAR-guided robot vacuum that handles the task a few times a week, a more traditional upright vacuum for deep cleaning, and an older corded hand-held vacuum for spot cleaning. So when the opportunity to review the Levoit cordless

REVIEW – Robotic vacuum cleaners are one of those gadgets that you don’t realize how useful they are until you’ve had one for a while. I live in a single-story house, and I have been using yeedi’s k700 for the last two years. I really like this little robot, who I named Mopi when I
REVIEW – If you’ve ever wondered what Dyson designers could do if left on their own, the Lupe Pure vacuum cleaner might be the answer. Lupe was started by a couple of ex-Dyson employees who set out to make a better vacuum cleaner. In many ways, they succeeded, but the Lupe Pure vacuum cleaner is

REVIEW – Of all the gadgets I review, my wife prefers I review the ones that actually do something—like clean, for instance. She couldn’t care less about my audio fixation. Nope—as long as I review something that makes her life easier, she’s okay with the time I spend testing and writing. Just so you know,

REVIEW – The Simpson’s “Mr. Sparkle” episode promises to “banish dirt to the land of wind and ghosts.” I love a clean house and sucking dirt and pet hair into oblivion is a frequent preoccupation.
