In order to save time and energy, tech-savvy persons should not only have at least one cleaning gadget in their house, whether we’re talking about a dishwasher, a smart vacuum cleaner or whatnot. Our professional and personal life is often very busy and we don’t manage to clean our house as we’d like to and hiring professional cleaners isn’t always the cheapest solution. So maybe investing in a house cleaning gadget is the solution you are looking for. Here are some of the best that we’ve managed to find.
iRobot Roomba vacuum cleaners
iRobot is one of the most known companies that deal with house cleaning tech products. With some of the best designs on the market and definitely not the cheapest around, the company has made a name for itself in the beginning with Roomba, company’s smart vacuum cleaning robot. There are six different versions, from $350 to as much as $700. The top of the line Roomba 790 comes with a wireless command center so that you could control it from anywhere in the house and also with additional accessories such as extra filters and brushes.
The cheapest Roomba 630 is still a very good cleaning gadget to consider for your house as it is very effective at absorbing pet fur, hair and other fibers thanks to its three-stage cleaning system. You can use the Roomba vacuum cleaners on carpets, tile, laminate and hardwood floors. Have a look at the video to understand how exactly iRobot’s Roomba smart cleaners work.

The Hom-Bot Robot vacuum cleaner retails for $600 and comes with the Magellan mapping system, 3 smart cleaning modes, a low noise level and even scheduled cleaning. What I like about it is that the Hom-Bot will automatically return to its charging dock when the battery is nearing full depletion. Dyson DC25 Animal Ball-Technology Upright Vacuum Cleaner – this one might not seem so smart as it comes with a traditional design form but the secret lies in its strong suction power at 220 Watts. It also comes with a HEPA filter, motorized brushbar and is also certified to be used by persons suffering from asthma.

Philips Smart Air Purifier
We’ve talked about Philips’ smart air purifier cleaning gadget before, when we included it in our list with gadgets that caught our eye at IFA 2013.

Ecovacs Atmobot – when looking at the Atmobot for the first time, I had the feeling it was a vacuum cleaning robot or a floor mapping or washing one. With a really appealing design, the Atmobot doesn’t just stand in a corner purifying the air, but it actually “hunts” it down and goes after it. It also comes with an air-quality indicator, has audio reports and it can even play your favorite songs while it cleans the air.
