  If you’d told me a year ago that I’d come to love a robot vacuum cleaner, I would’ve laughed at you. And yet that’s exactly what’s happened with the $650 Roborock S7, a combined vacuum cleaner and mop. It is one of the few gadgets I’ve tested lately that I can actually say made my life better. I was a robovac skeptic I don’t know about you, but I find it hard to work when the house is a mess. I’ve been a remote worker since well before the pandemi
