BEST ROBOT VACUUM
iRobot Roomba i7
The creator of the first
commercial robotic vac-
uum back in 2002, iRobot
remains at the forefront
of the category with its cur-
rent Roomba i7. It was the
fastest and most efficient
vacuum we tested, and it
can also effectively nav-
igate your home and any
obstacles by creating a map
of your floor plan. Through
the app, you can schedule,
prioritize, or skip specific
rooms for cleaning.^ $600
BEST HAND VACUUM
Black & Decker Dust
Buster HHVK515J
While hand vacuums by
power tool manufacturers
will outpower the Black
& Decker Dust Buster,
this 20-volt product has
plenty of power for jobs in
the home, shop, or garage
while remaining light and
easy to handle. Its nozzle
also extends an extra 7.5
inches for hard-to-reach
spaces, such as under car
seats or couches. $90
