Best Robot Vacuum Cleaner Roomba i3+

The smart home should be about robots doing everything for you, so you don’t have to lift a finger. Sadly, we’re a long way from that reality, but in the meantime, there are robot vacuums. More affordable, more intelligent, and better at vacuuming than ever before, a robot vacuum will help keep your house clean – yes, even under the settee. Our favourite is iRobot’s Roomba i3+, the newest model from the oldest smart vacuum manufacturer. We like it for its combination of affordability and self-emptying capabilities – it has its own external bin it returns to to suck out the debris when its on-board bin is full.

The i3 will be available in the UK later this year, but if you can’t wait, then the pricier i7+ is an excellent option. The i7+ can do smart things like just clean the kitchen, thanks to smart maps you control in the app. Both bots can be controlled by voice using Alexa or Google, so you can ask it to clean, pause, or go home with just a few words.
