Vacuum

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 – 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.

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 – 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 – We’ve been using the same cordless vacuum for years, and I thought it was completely adequate. I’m glad Dreametech sent over their P10 Cordless Stick Vacuum for review, because if I’d tried this out at a friend’s house I would probably have bought one myself! What is it? The Dreametech P10 Cordless Stick

REVIEW – The Proscenic P11 Smart is a cordless “stick” vacuum cleaner that never seemed like a necessity to me. Prior experience with cordless vacuums showed me the batteries never lasted very long and they were never powerful enough to be useful. I was content to just be stuck with my heavy plug-in floor vacuum

REVIEW – A few years ago, I reviewed a couple of robot vacuums that were amazing at what they could do. Over the years I continued to use them but also noticed that on many occasions the floors were not properly vacuumed or mopped. Fast forward to today, and I get to test and review

REVIEW – Meet the do-it-all robot vac! The Trifo Lucy AI Robot Vacuum not only professes an advanced AI for optimized cleaning, but it does much more. It’s got an integrated camera with two-way audio. It’s got motion sensing security technology. And you can manage it all remotely from your app. How does all of
