According to a survey by Mattress Advisory, the average American swaps out their dirty sheets for fresh ones every 24 days, but sheets should be washed way more frequently - at least once a week.

"We want to make the Graham Norton of video games," says Kirsty Rigden, the chief executive of Brighton-based FuturLab, which makes PowerWash Simulator. Aspiring to emulate a talkshow host who has a reputation for being affable rather than for setting pulses racing is perhaps an unusual ambition for a gaming studio.

The fix, he told me, was temporary - he didn't have the right part and couldn't get it. This experience revealed a broader shift in how modern products are designed, sold, and owned - one that increasingly treats repair as optional and replacement as inevitable.

Out of the company's first 80,000 deliveries the bots finished on campus, about 1,600 involved incidents of vandalism. At a cost of $2,500 per Kiwibot, the damage adds up quick.

Most power strips are designed to handle a low load from small appliances like cell phone chargers, computers, and televisions. Plugging in a high-wattage appliance - or multiple - may cause the power strip to overheat, leading to a major fire hazard.

One of the most effective ways to clean your home is to work from top to bottom. This ensures that whatever dirt or dust is lurking above falls down first, so you're not forced to redo any of the hard work you've already done below.

'Dishwashers need space in between dishes and crockery in order to circulate water, so you're not saving any money by squeezing everything into your machine.'

The results? They picked out 26 cleaning solutions, calling them their favorites. From tried-and-true staples to brand-new discoveries, see below for our top picks.

In the past, roof inspections mostly focused on what could be seen from the outside. Contractors looked for broken shingles, worn flashing, or areas where water might enter the roof. The problem is that roof damage does not always show clear signs right away. Water can move through roofing layers before it becomes visible inside the home.

The BlastBoss is designed for both outdoor and indoor use alongside three included attachments, making it versatile for various cleaning tasks.

The Clean+Wash Hygiene tweaks the way debris is collected. It still has a dirty-water tank and a debris tray, but it keeps both in the head of the device rather than cycling dirty water back up into a separate tank on the cleaner. Disposal looks similar to the old device, with the user still needing to empty both the dirty water and the debris tray, but removal of these items can happen at the same time.

In an aquatic world dominated by robotic pool cleaners that mostly look identical, a company called iGarden has been that breath of fresh air you take after reaching the water's surface. The company's pool cleaners have always featured designs that feel inspired more by high-end automobiles than underwater janitors, and with the new M1 series, its gear is sportier than ever.

Eureka's new Z50 robovac comes equipped with a roller mop that it will automatically lift and shield before vacuuming your carpets, preventing them from getting wet. The roller mop cover is similar to the one we saw on the Roomba Max 705 Combo last year, but it's available for a "tentative" cost of $800 as opposed to $1,299.99. The cover aims to solve the wet carpet dilemma that plagues mopping robovacs, as many can't

All of the appliances and systems are brand-new: the HVAC, the lighting, the entertainment. Touch screens of various shapes and sizes control this, that, and the other. Rows of programmable buttons sit where traditional light switches would normally be. The kitchen even has outlets designed to rise up from the countertop when you need them, and slide away when you don't.

I, let's be clear, am not. But I can share what it's like to make the jump from an entry-level model to one of these multifunctional combo units, something I imagine many Verge readers have considered. To say I'm impressed by the performance of the drone maker's first and best robot vacuum is an understatement. But I'm also not convinced anyone should spend over $2,000 for the DJI Romo P, regardless of how much I like its transparent looks.
