Vacuums, smart home, and home appliance reviews — every product tested for at least 30 days.
The Eufy RoboVac 11S MAX is the rare cheap robot vacuum that does the basics well. After 5 months of testing, it picked up 86% of debris on hardwood, ran for a measured 102 minutes per charge, and survived a household with a shedding dog without a single mechanical failure. You give up mapping, an app, and obstacle avoidance — but at $199, that's a fair trade.
The Roomba j7+ is the robot vacuum we recommend without hesitation in 2026. After 7 months of testing in a real two-pet household, it's the only model we tried that genuinely avoided cords, socks, and pet accidents. Pickup on hardwood and low-pile carpet measured 94% of debris in a single pass, and the self-empty base went 64 days between bag swaps.
