Roomba is practically
synonymous with robot
vacuums, but what many people
don't know is that there isn't just one definitive
model. The line spans from the $375 Roomba
690 to the $900 Roomba 980. The $700
Roomba 960 falls somewhere in the middle,
though obviously its price puts its closer to the
high end. It shares many of the same features
with the top-of-the-line 980—like a camera
for navigation, a smartphone app with detailed
cleaning reports and maps, and Amazon Alexa
and Google Assistant voice control—but comes
with only one virtual wall and has a slightly
less powerful motor. That arguably makes it a
stronger value, and one of the top choices for a
high-end robot vacuum.

Using technology at home to make
you healthier just makes good sense.
For tracking fat, BMI, water, muscle
mass, bone composition, and even
pregnancy, look no further than the
QardioBase 2. It shares the info it
reads with a smartphone app for your
easy access. Plus, it just looks great.

A vacuuming
robot isn't
enough these
days. Don't
you want your
floors mopped clean as well?
iRobot's relatively inexpensive
Braava Jet 240 will do exactly
that. It's small, quiet, and
perfect for apartment dwellers
without a lot of floor space
or time to clean it when they
get home. It sprays a jet of
water to clean deep, and can
even do damp sweeping, like a
Swiffer.
