GROWING UP, OUR VISION OF the future was filled with flying cars and robots that did our work for us. While the airborne vehicles of The Jetsons have yet to materialize, robot vacuums have arrived. (No, they don't look like George's Rosey.) Ranging in cost from a bit under $200 to over $1,000, these wafer-shaped, dirt-sucking automatons come with a wide range of features and technology, like bump-and-go navigation, LiDAR(Light Detection and Ranging) floorplan mapping, and even mopping. We tested a range of popular models to see how well they work and which ones do so best. You'll likely need to keep your current vacuum, but a robot vacuum can absolutely cut down on time spent cleaning and make life easier.
