Some robot vacuums are self-emptying, self-cleaning, and self-drying.
New homeowners may love their new homes, but if they’re like most Americans, they don’t love basic household cleaning tasks. Surveys reveal that vacuuming, mopping, dusting, and sweeping are always on the list of the most hated household chores. However, the latest cleaning tools make it easier than ever to maintain a clean home – and some even provide hands-free cleaning. So if you’re searching for one of the best housewarming gifts, consider these helpful items.
Dyson Omni-Glide
The Dyson Omni-Glide weighs less than 5 pounds.
For smaller homes with hard floors, the cordless Dyson Omni-Glide is slim and lightweight (less than 5 pounds). It also has an articulating neck and 360-degree casts, so the vacuum can lay flat when cleaning under furniture, swerve around the legs of chairs and tables, and even clean sideways. It can also convert to a handheld vacuum, and using the combi-crevice tool, it’s easy to dust high areas like HVAC vents and ceiling fans, as well as in-between sofa cushions. When not in use, it sits in the wall-mounted charging dock, which saves valuable floor space.
Roborock Q Revo
The Roborock Q Revo empties, refills, washes, and dries itself.
Robot vacuums can make cleaning infinitely easier, but the Roborock Q Revo takes the ease factor to another level. It’s self-washing, self-drying, self-emptying, and self-refilling, so there’s really nothing to do. The Roborock Q Revo uses an all-rubber brush that avoids tangles on both carpet and hard floors, and it has dual spinning mops to clean hard floors. The auto-mop lifting feature lifts when on carpets to avoid getting them wet. The robot vacuum is also smart enough to avoid obstacles on the floor, and can be controlled via the Roborock App, Amazon Alexa, and Siri.

The Shark Scub + Steam Blaster can sanitize hard floors.
For cleaning, gently scrubbing, and sanitizing hard floors, the Shark Steam & Scrub Steam sanitizing mop makes it quick and easy.

The sanitizing mode removes 99.9% of bacteria, and the rotating microfiber pads scrub 150 times a minute. The pads are also washable, so they can be reused over and over. The mop’s swivel steering mechanism can easily maneuver around furniture and the LED headlights make it easy to see hidden debris. The mop can be used on all sealed floors, from hardwood to marble/tile/stone, to laminate and vinyl.
Dreametech R20
The cordless Dreametech R20 has a 90 minute runtime.
For cleaning both carpets and hard floors, theDreametech R20 has a soft roller brush and a multi-surface brush, along with LED lights on the front.

The vacuum can convert to a handheld model to use with the wide combination tool, motorized mini brush, and flexible combination tool. It also includes a wall-hanging charging and storage mount.

For an elegant vacuum cleaner that looks too good to hide in the closet, the Samsung Bespoke Jet AI fits the bill. It has a dual brush that can be used on both carpets and hard floors, and the telescopic wand (which adjusts from 23 inches to 31 inches) makes it easy for each user to find the most comfortable height. The AI cleaning mode senses the floor type and adjusts suction accordingly. The vacuum has a 100-minute runtime, and can also be converted to a handheld vacuum and used with the anti-tangle pet tool, combination tool, and long reach crevice tool to dust and vacuum other areas.

In addition, the vacuum converts to a handheld vac, which can be used with the motorized mini-brush, crevice tool, and dusting brush.
Eufy Clean X9 Pro
Control the Eufy Clean X9 Pro via smartphone, Alexa, and Google Assistant.

Dyson V15 Detect Submarine
The Dyson V15 Detect Submarine has swappable roller heads.
