And yet thats exactly whats happened with the $650Roborock S7, a combined vacuum cleaner and mop.
It is one of the few gadgets Ive tested lately that I can actually say made my life better.
Ive been a remote worker since well before the pandemic, which means my office is my home.
It’s free, every week, in your inbox.
Luckily, my job means I get to test this stuff out.
(I should note that Im not really here to talk about specs and objective performance.
There are much better sources for this data check out Vacuum Warsreview, for instance.
Thats time I can spend doing other things.
If need be you might also set no-mop zones in the app, but I never found the need.
Almost all the other concerns were non-issues.
The room mapping worked reliably, and the robot get lost navigating the apartment only a couple of times.
The robot did occasionally get tangled with wires or smaller items.
Another unexpected but welcome result: it actually trainedmeto pick up the small stuff before cleaning time.
Nor can I guarantee that itll work in your particular home.
Its one less obstacle to starting my workday, and one layer of stress reduced substantially.
