One of the most popular smart home devices is the robot vacuum. Easily one of society’s most hated chores, these robots make light of vacuuming every last inch of our houses. From reaching the furthest corners to scrubbing under our furniture, they save our backs day after day.
If you’re looking into buying one, one of the first things you’ll see is a large variety in features as well as price. Some require a bit of human intervention to get started while others are so fully autonomous they even empty themselves. Some even combine a vacuum and a mop in one for unprecedented convenience.
So, which robot vacuum should you buy? It really depends on which features matter to you most.
