Twenty years ago, Electrolux redefined the world of cleaning with the launch of the first cordless 2-in-1 vacuum cleaner, designed to be the perfect complement to a conventional vacuum cleaner. Over the years, the long-handled vacuum cleaners have been equipped with new innovations such as LED lights on the nozzle and self-cleaning brushes, while improving …
Cleaning is one of the most boring things there is. So when devices appear that are supposed to make it easier or more efficient, we at least get interested. Cordless stick vacuums are very practical because they’re easier to have on hand and you don’t have to deal with that annoying cord. And there are …
In our big test of premium stick vacuums not long ago, the Electrolux Hygienic 800 did really well. But it wasn’t cheap and it still lacked some accessories. Perhaps the Electrolux Clean 600 is an even better buy as you actually get more useful accessories for half the price! Accesories In addition to the large …
In the last millennium, handheld vacuum cleaners were somewhat ungainly. They were big, heavy and triangular. They had to be emptied afterwards, if the dirt hadn’t already trickled out again. Dirt and muck often rattled out of the rubber filter at the bottom when I hung the vacuum cleaner back in the wall holder. I …
Last year, I happened to hear about the existence of window cleaning robots and I quickly ordered the Ecovacs Winbot W1 Pro for testing. As I belong to the category of people who would rather do “something else” (as in anything else) to avoid cleaning windows, I couldn’t help but give the product a thumbs …
Roborock’s robotic vacuum cleaners have done well when we’ve had them in the editorial office. So well, in fact, that the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra was this year’s darling in the Best Smart Home Product category in Household & Interior Design. Its successor as the latest flagship model, the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra, therefore has …
If there’s one thing I hate, it’s cleaning. But how do you get rid of the dust bunnies without resorting to manual labour? One possible solution is a robot vacuum cleaner, although it does have some limitations. The smart and quite expensive robots are sold as marvels, but the trees don’t grow all the way …
According to Ecovacs, the Deebot X2 Omni is their smartest robot vacuum cleaner, claiming to reach every nook and cranny. It confidently offers a “fully automated cleaning solution that includes automatic cleaning with mop wash with 55 degrees hot water, automatic dust bin emptying, automatic hot air drying, automatic water refill and self-maintenance”. Let’s take …
The Innobot RVC-D4000SL is of course a little extra exciting because it’s a brand new category for Wilfa. I know from experience that there can be many teething problems in such cases. In any case, they don’t skimp on the accessories, and in the box there are generous extras of just about everything! It actually …
Few people like to be cold, and if you heat your home or cottage with electric radiators, winter often means much higher electricity bills. But turning the thermostats down 1 or 2 degrees can save you some money without making your house freezing cold. Another option is to install a heat pump to circulate heat …
Have you retired the vacuum cleaner after buying a robot vacuum cleaner? Then chances are you’ve regretted it. Because even the best robot vacuum cleaners can’t reach everywhere. That’s why many people find that they sometimes have to vacuum with a regular vacuum cleaner. It usually has greater suction power, reaches small surfaces more easily …
I’m the type who definitely doesn’t have green fingers. That’s why I mainly stick to palm trees and cacti when it comes to greening up my home. And the idea of growing vegetables and lettuce at home simply never occurred to me. But then a piece of news dropped in my inbox about a smart …
The Siemens EQ.700 is a sleek, elegant coffee machine mainly in chrome-plated steel, and the colleagues in the office took a liking to it immediately. Its only exterior drawback is that the milk container is located on the left side, which increases the width and also limits where it can be placed, allowing you to …
I have heard that there are people who actually like to vacuum, wash floors and wipe dust off. Many of us can’t stand it, and then it’s tempting to have a robot that does it for one. But which one to choose? Most people look exactly alike, and it is not immediately obvious what they …
A light cooling breeze may be absolutely necessary to get through the day, when the temperature rises seriously in the summer. Then you find the fan from last year. If you do not have a fan, you should act fairly quickly, because table and floor fans have a tired tendency to be sold out, when …
