Honestly, I was skeptical. Another robot vacuum? I’d already blown about $300 on a shiny disc that seemed more interested in mapping my cat’s tail than actually cleaning my floors.

Give the little guy the best possible view of the mess he’s supposed to tackle. Turns out, that was a colossal waste of electricity and a pretty dumb assumption. It wasn’t … Read more
Honestly, the whole robot vacuum thing felt like a gimmick for years.
