Dust and dander in the home can cause serious problems, from irritating tickles in the throat to serious long-term health problems for many unfortunate allergy sufferers. Keeping your house free of dust and other irritants is key for your health. With so many types of vacuums available to perform this duty, it can be a pretty daunting task to decide which one is best for you and your home. Robot vacuums are great and involve the least amount of effort. However, even the best robot devices can’t get to every spot in your home, and can’t vacuum your furniture. Tests have shown that the new wave of cordless vacuums is the way to go if you want to thoroughly clean your home.
Ultenic T10 review: An affordable all-rounder that mops and vacuums at the same time
Pristine clean floors with little effort

Roborock S7 long-term review: Wiping away the mess... and your money
If only it could auto-empty the dock without emptying your wallet too
Read update
Robot vacuums have been exploding in popularity over the last few years, and there are plenty of inexpensive units that get the job done. For some, a better vacuum that saves more time is worth a premium price, and Roborock is happy to offer very expensive vacuums like the new Roborock S7 to those folks. The Roborock S7 has all the bells and whistles you could ever want in a robot vacuum, like mopping, zone cleaning, and smart assistant integration. It nails the basics, has plenty of smarts, and rolls right over the competition with its innovative sonic mop… but it costs $650. The S7 is an excellent vacuum — if you can afford it and really hate doing chores.

Labor Day is kind of a weird holiday. With most other holidays we are celebrating something fun, or commemorating a special event. Labor Day celebrates going to work. That’s really not fun, or special. There are no leprechauns, turkeys, pinatas, or stockings. As far as holidays go, it kinda sucks.
After 4 years with a smart robot vacuum, I’m happier with a dumb one
I like it so much I clean my floors at least twice a day
My best friend likes to use the term "germ freak" when describing me. Although she might be exaggerating, she's not too far from reality. I'm also a very practical person and don't like spending too much time on chores, which is why I bought a Roomba robot vacuum cleaner back in 2017. Although I've been very happy with it, I've recently bought a "dumb" cordless vacuum-mop combo that I literally use several times a day. In fact, I'm so satisfied with my purchase, the Roomba now sits in the corner collecting dust (which I then clean).

If you've had your eyes on Wyze's robovac, Walmart has it down to just $216.

Roborock just dropped some crazy Prime Day discounts on its most popular robotic vacuums (Sponsored)
Get the S6 MaxV, S5 Max, S6, and E3 for up to hundreds off MSRP
Roborock, the Beijing-based company known for making some of the smartest robotic vacuums on the market, has just announced some pretty big Prime Day discounts on the S6 MaxV, S5 Max, S6, and E3. Keep in mind that each of these offers take place on specific days and times, so you’ll need to be vigilant if you want to sweep up the right vacuum for you.
