Robot vacuum cleaners have significantly transformed how we approach home cleaning.
Here we go…

Squared-off bots just make more sense for rooms with right angles
This got me thinking.
Surely a D- or square-shaped robot would be better at reaching into corners?
But what if their bots had a square front end, too?
Squared-off bots just make more sense for rooms with right angles
Surely that would be even better for corner and edge sweeping.
This seems absurd to me.
Take theDyson 360 Vis Nav, for instance.
A D-shaped design, like that of the Roomba s9+ (right) offers a wider suction area than a round one like the j7+ (left)
Let’s have more of this style of robot kindly!
And I don’t think I’m the only one, according to some Reddit forums.
The vast majority, in other words.
Adding water tanks means much less room for dust and hair collection in the robovac’s dock
And that means positioning them somewhere within sight, usually a hallway, the living room or kitchen.
If nothing firm stops its progress it should then continue to vacuum beyond.
It’s a win-win situation.
Docks need to be fairly large and prominently placed… so why is no one paying attention to aesthetics?
And that means any subsequent vacuuming could eventually clog up the suction tube without the robot being aware.
Guess we’ll have to wait till 2027 or thereabouts.
Even camera-equipped robovacs tend to avoid the dusty under-bed spaces veiled by valances
Robot vacuums' small onboard bins quickly fill up, but only iRobot models can tell you when this bin is full
