The advancement of robot vacuums has been astonishing in recent years. From being seen as overpriced and clunky devices, they now come in a variety of price points with advanced features like mapping capabilities and self-emptying bins. Even cameras are now included in some models.
While no robot vacuum is perfect, I have tested them in a challenging environment – a busy family home with kids and pets, and I find them to be indispensable. Whether you have a furry pet shedding hair or just want to spend more time with your loved ones, there is a robot vacuum out there that can help make your life easier.
