If you’re trying out your first robot vacuum, you’ll be faced with a few decisions. Many popular models now come with a self-emptying bin to let you go weeks without ever touching the device. Do you have specific location needs for your vacuuming? Several vacuums let you set “no-go” zones or supports voice assistants like Google Assistant or Alexa.
Do you have pets or a lot of carpets to keep clean? If so, opt for a device that pushes a higher level of suction power. If you’re concerned about security, a machine with fewer capabilities might be more attractive – they still make dumb models that just bounce around the room like an old screensaver, picking up everything they touch. And, if you’ve got kids or just a messier house than most, you might want to consider a machine that also has a built-in mop.
The Clean X8 just launched this week, and we're impressed by its specs. It delivers potent suction with a double-turbine design that promises to get deep into carpets to pull out hair and grime. The bacteriostatic dust bag can go up to 45 days in between emptying. The vacuum's onboard AI creates detailed and reliable maps of your home and its surfaces, allowing it to navigate safely and efficiently as it goes about its tasks. You can also set specific areas for mopping and other special functions. Apply the coupon on the page for a $100 Early Bird
