If you’re not using a robot vacuum yet, you do not know what you’re missing. I first started getting into the tech properly as a reviewer earlier this year, expecting disappointment at every turn, and I could not have been more wrong — these products have years of refinement under their belts, and are effortlessly capable of delivering a really impressive cleaning experience.
But for as good as they are, that refinement has only begun to highlight some of the areas where there’s still clear room for improvement. Yet so often with autonomous devices, that’s exactly where things start going wrong — those problems are left for last for good reason.
