While our present age has often been painted with skies of flying cars and ordinary lives filled with robotic helpers serving our every whim, the current truth is not that far removed from the lofty ideals of the past - although we are still awaiting the arrival of a fully-autonomous domestic robot on the level of the Jetsons’ "Rosie", we are in fact living in the early days of an amazing age when the tedious task of vacuuming can be relegated to robots. Since we have yet to come across a human being who truly enjoys vacuuming, we assumed there would be some interest in the top five robot vacuums available in Malaysia.

Corvan picaBot Pro+ Image credit: Corvan The latest picaBot AI series robot can sweep, vacuum, mop and disinfect in one go. The combination of super high suction power, large electronic water tank, extra-long double spin brushes cleans better than most manual cleaning. Thanks to the latest laser mapping technology acting as the eyes of the robot, picaBot cleans every space systematically without missing any spot up to a whooping 3,000sqft in daylight or darkness. While drop detection and auto return to charge is standard among robotic cleaners, picaBot is at another level that is highly customisable by using the app to set cleaning areas, forbidden areas, cleaning time, suction level as well as mopping dampness. Users can also control and see the picaBot’s cleaning path real time anywhere, anytime via their mobile phone. Interested to find out more about Corvan picaBot? We did a full review of it here!

Dyson 360 Eye Image Credit: Dyson

Dyson’s 360 Eye™ hits all the right notes in an ode to the robotic vacuum cleaner: 360-degree awareness afforded by an omni-directional camera, a slim-profile recharging station for the robot to automatically dock with when it runs low on energy - and an impressive navigational package that enables this robot to track its journey around obstacles or drops while it works its way through gaps as narrow as 9 inches. While these features are expected in any robotic vacuum cleaner, the 360 Eye is differentiated by tough tank tracks where one would normally find wheels, in addition to Dyson’s own technological revolutions - the V2 digital impeller and the Radial Root Cyclone™ centrifugal action, providing higher suction while entailing lower energy requirements and noise levels.

iRobot Roomba 880 Image Credit: PCMag

When most other appliance giants steered away from robotic vacuum cleaners at the turn of the millennium, iRobot’s Roomba was charming homeowners with a pet-like personality expressed through a surprising ability to occasionally detect and avoid hazardous elements in its surroundings - which is why the Roomba brand is as synonymous to robotic vacuum cleaners as Xerox was once to photocopiers. Due in part to iRobot’s early start, one of the latest iterations of the Roomba - the 880, is equipped with a host of sensors that enables it to work with iRobot’s Virtual Wall® accessories, to push past soft obstacles, to persistently go over spots with high concentrations of dirt, and to clean one room at a time.

---

Neato Botvac D85 Image Credit: Neato Robotics

Typical robot vacuums use their arrays of intelligent sensors to avoid dangers such as stairs and housepets while working, but Neato Robotic’s D85 Botvac uses technology pioneered by military forces and a higher level of intelligence to map, understand, and move through its environment gracefully. Using laser range finders and the kind of simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) algorithms found in airborne drones, the D85 Botvac plans its motions and cleans methodically - going as far as even retaining maps between battery charges so that it can continue the task at hand after a quick break.

---

Panasonic RULO Image Credit: 11Street

The problem of reaching for dust in the extents of a 90-degree corner has long plagued robot vacuum cleaners, but Panasonic’s Rulo gets around that issue with its novel shape - the Reuleaux triangle. The Rulo’s namesake shape enables it to reach into corners with the tips of its rotating brushes, while its 92-millimetre height enables it to slip into the forgotten realms beneath sofas and beds. As expected for appliances bearing the Panasonic brand, this particular device includes an ionising plate on its underside that grounds and renders inert any dust particles it comes across.

While we certainly appreciate the heady fumes of a home-cooked meal after a long day, most of us could do without the smell of cooking spreading to the far corners of the house between meals. As anyone who has worked over a hot stove can attest, a proper kitchen needs a means of moving air around - not just so that the chef gets to enjoy a fresh breeze, but also to keep the kitchen from turning into a spectacle of smoke and grease fires, which is why we looked at the best cooker hoods around and listed our top five favourites here.

Today's dishwashers mainly have to be judged on two key aspects: their cleaning performance and their drying power. This also includes preventing any annoying residual moisture and lime spots. With the use of the mineral Zeolite, Bosch has been setting new standards in drying since 2008, both in terms of quality and efficiency. Additional advances, including Zeolite® drying technology and its improved 3D air flow system meant that drying results improved again in 2015. And now Bosch has gone one step further: PerfectDry dishwashers with Zeolite® drying technology do more than just gentle cleaning. They also deliver unprecedented drying results for porcelain, glass and even plastic tableware, which is particularly hard to dry due to its low heat storage capacity. Perfect drying with PerfectDry Small, moisture-retaining, self-regenerating mineral pearls are the stars of Bosch's Zeolite® drying technology. The natural mineral is stored in a compact container in the dishwasher's housing. The trick: Zeolite absorbs moisture and emits dry, warm air. Bosch's special 3D air flow system ensures that this warm air is dispersed via the outlet in three directions inside the dishwasher's interior, reliably blowing gently and evenly across all the tableware. The result: not only glasses and dishes, but even hard-to-dry plastic dishes are dried. After a child's birthday party, barbecue or picnic, there is often a large amount of plastic trays, bowls and cups to clean. Bosch has developed the optional setting "ExtraDry" for loads that are particularly difficult to dry. If you select this option, the temperature increases slightly during washing and the drying process is extended – so that everything can go straight back into the cupboard again afterwards. There is no need to dry anything by hand afterwards. Quiet helper for a better quality of life Modern home appliances should be seen but hardly heard. This is why Bosch has redefined the maximum noise levels for its Series 4, 6 and 8 dishwashers. The combination of low-vibration materials, low-friction drive, effective, noise-absorbing insulation and optimised water-bearing device parts enables noise levels to be kept below 42 dB* – which corresponds to a quiet conversation, for example. In addition, the Silence programme in the Series 6 and 8 appliances uses reduced spray pressure and noise-optimised Zeolite technology to ensure that noise is kept to a bare minimum. Perfect glass protection for all requirements In addition to optimum cleaning and drying results, glass protection is an important topic for many households. Bosch offers a range of special features for customers' differing needs and requirements. The "Glass 40 °C" programme cleans glasses particularly gently and dries them perfectly, thanks to a slightly lower temperature. And some Series 6 and 8 models also have a basket for long-stemmed wine and champagne glasses. The basket fixes up to four glasses securely in position in the lower rack and enables them to be loaded and unloaded without any risk of tipping over or getting scratched. And it also ensures perfect cleaning and drying results. In the Series 8 dishwashers, "Precision glass protection" guarantees optimum results, even after many wash cycles: thanks to an integrated valve for untreated water, the water hardness is kept at a balanced, sustainable level that is easy on glassware. * e.g. SMI46MS03E and SMV68TX06E in the label programme. For generations now, the name Bosch has stood for ground-breaking technology and outstanding quality. Bosch home appliances have been making people's lives easier for over 80 years, and Bosch is Europe's leading home appliance brand. Consumers around the world associate the brand with efficiency, functionality, reliability, quality and internationally acclaimed design. Respect for both people and nature, reflected not least in the guiding principle "Invented for life", is a matter of course for Bosch. This is evident, for example, in the company's sustainable products and resource-conserving processes.
