I review robot vacuums for a living, ask me anything!
Welcome! I’m The Verge’s smart home reviewer, and I’m hosting an exclusive subscriber AMA today at 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET. I test a lot of connected gadgets for my job, but the dominant device in my home — by both number and square footage covered — is the robot vacuum. At any given time, I have a dozen of these bots bouncing around, sweeping and mopping my floors and irritating my cats.
From vacuums with arms and ones that can climb stairs to basic bump-and-roll bots, there’s a dizzying array of robovacs on the market. I’m here to help you cut through the marketing hype (no, suction power isn’t the most important spec; yes, robot mops are better now, but they’re still not great) and pick a robot that will clean your floors without driving you crazy.
So, if you have questions, concerns, or just big thoughts, post them in the comment section here. I’ll start replying at 1 PM ET today and will hang around until 2 PM. Come join me to talk about the robot revolution. It starts small.
