Vacuums

Roomba is to robot vacuums as Tupperware is to food storage—its practically a synonym for the product. But there’s a whole world of robot vacuums out there, including many budget alternatives that might make your dream of a self-cleaning house that much easier to attain. We wrote about our favorites in our guide to robot vacuums and found some under $200 models that can get the job done. Today, Eufy, one of our favorite budget-friendly brands, is one of Amazon’s daily deals.

Smart Vacuums Smackdown: Which Robot Vacuum Is Best for You?

Okay, so we haven’t quite made it to the Jetsons era where Rosie the robot does all the household cleaning, then has dinner ready when we get home. But in 2016, you can invite a robot into your home to help with at least one chore: vacuuming.

There’s One Cleaning Tool You’re Probably Not Using Enough—Here’s How to Put it to Work

Vacuuming isn’t on many people’s lists of most-hated chores. In fact, I’ve seen it pop up multiple times as people’s favorite cleaning “guilty pleasures.” I get it, for sure. It’s a quick way to make a room look much cleaner and the rewards for your effort are instantly apparent. No matter how much you love to vacuum and how often you do it, though, you’re probably not taking full advantage of everything your vacuum cleaner can do.

Confession: My Favorite Vacuum Isn’t a Dyson

Unpopular opinion: cleaning is fine. Sure, there are more enjoyable ways to spend an afternoon, but chores can be satisfying and, dare I say, fun in their own right. Which brings me, of course, to the joy of vacuuming. Is there anything quite so satisfying as seeing all the dust and dirt inside the container at the end of a good vacuum run?

eBay Is Having a Flash Sale on All Dyson Products (Yes, Including Vacuums)

We feel pretty strongly about vacuums here at Apartment Therapy, and definitely aren’t immune to the allure of the Dyson. There’s something almost magical about them: They’re high-quality, design-forward—and very expensive. Hence, we always keep an eye out for ways to get these status symbol products for less. While sites like Amazon and Bed Bath & Beyond have frequent sales and tout lower prices, there’s another one that you may not be thinking of: eBay.

Dyson Just Launched Three New Products–Including Their Smartest Vacuum Yet

Here’s the thing: We wish we could hate Dyson. The tech company keeps coming up with smarter and smarter home products that completely upend our perception of “reasonable pricing”. Before Dyson, we never would have considered spending upwards of $600 on a vacuum cleaner, or $400 on a hair dryer. Now, we not only think about it, we actively figure out a way to make it happen.

The Most Advanced Dyson Ever Is 30% Off On Amazon For One Day Only

You can grab a vacuum for under $50, but when it comes to top-of-the-line versions, few can compete with Dyson. The company’s powerful stick vacuums have become one of the few brands that can be called “the Rolls Royce” of its kind. Accordingly, at full price, Dyson can cost as much as $700. Which is exactly why we get so excited when we see a Dyson as part of Amazon’s deal of the day section. The daily deals, which run from midnight to midnight P.T.

The Vacuum That Changed the Way I Feel About Vacuuming

There are many chores I do without too much grumbling including cleaning my bathroom, changing the sheets, throwing in some laundry. Putting away my laundry is another story, but my absolute least tolerated household task? Vacuuming. This was a lifelong battle, as I was always somehow the one kid (out of three) that got stuck with Hoovering the carpeted stairs in my childhood home even though I complained about it the most (maybe that was why? Some sort of life lesson from mom and dad?).

Getting a Robot Vacuum for the Holidays? Never Forget This Family’s Roomba Poopocalypse

My Facebook feed is a battleground right now, overtaken with competing analyses of the world today, the state of politics in America, and what’s going to happen to us all now. Which is why, when a friend liked this unassuming little anecdote about a late night run-in with a Roomba and some poop, I clicked over for a little respite. Fifteen minutes later I was still laughing. Here’s how Jesse tells it: So, last week, something pretty tragic happened in our household.
