Robot vacuums are a dominant smart home device, with many models cleaning floors using different mechanisms. Options range from basic bump-and-roll bots to advanced designs with arms, stair-climbing capability, and improved mopping. Marketing hype can mislead buyers, because suction power is not the most important specification. Robot mops have improved but still do not deliver consistently great results. Recent reviews include Dyson Spot & Scrub, Shark’s Power Detect, and Matic, representing new approaches. Business developments in the robot vacuum market include iRobot ownership changes, questions about Dreame, and explanations for design choices such as using another company’s motor in a Dyson model.
"At any given time, I have a dozen of these bots bouncing around, sweeping and mopping my floors and irritating my cats. I just published a guide on how to choose the best robot vacuum for your home, and I recently reviewed the Dyson Spot & Scrub, Shark's Power Detect, and the Matic, which is the most interesting new approach to a robot vacuum I've seen in my 7 years of reviewing these machines."
"From vacuums with arms and ones that can climb stairs to basic bump-and-roll bots, there's a dizzying array of robovacs on the market. I'm here to help you cut through the marketing hype (no, suction power isn't the most important spec; yes, robot mops are better now, but they're still not great) and pick a robot that will clean your floors without driving you crazy."
"I've also been closely covering the business side of the robot vacuum world and can answer your questions about who bought iRobot, what the heck is up with Dreame, when robot vacuums will climb stairs, and why Dyson put somebody else's motor in its latest vacuum."
"So, if you have questions, concerns, or just big thoughts, post them in the comment section here. I'll start replying at 1 PM ET today and will hang around until 2 PM. Come join me to talk about the robot revolution. It starts small."
