"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.

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.

The new tracker features a simplified progress bar that shows just four stages of pizza creation. The new design was rolled out to all platforms, and there's also new Lock Screen widgets for iOS that bring the pizza chain's most famous tech feature to the Liquid Glass age.

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.

Combined with an RGB camera to detect visible messes and obstacles, the UV light lets the vacuum spot stains that aren't visible under normal lighting, such as pet urine. When it encounters dirt, visible or not, the robot uses onboard AI to identify and decide how to clean it.

When it comes to finding the best vacuums on Amazon, our editors are seasoned pros. We've been testing every model on the market from the most sought-after cordless vacuums to robot vacuums for years now, including longtime best-sellers as well as new and notable picks from names like Dyson, Levoit, and Eufy.

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.

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

At CES 2026 this week, Roborock launched the Saros Rover, a robot vacuum with articulating legs on wheels that let it climb a full staircase in order to clean multiple floors and also clean each step along the way. I saw a live demo of the Rover on the show floor, and it was impressive. Its legs move in a froglike manner, fluidly and with lots of flexibility.

My favorite feature on a robot vacuum is hands-down the roller mop. I bought my first Roborock seven years ago, and its microfiber mop pad was a game-changer for me as a busy mom with a toddler and baby, even if I had to wash it a couple of times during a cleaning session. Little did I know that I'd test Roborock's first roller mop robot nearly a decade later.

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.
