Seven household gadgets to reclaim your weekend from chores

The Roborock Saros 20 vacuum leads the pack with 36,000 Pa of suction and a FlexiArm side brush designed to reach corners. Its docking station handles self-emptying and water refilling, while its improved threshold clearance allows it to navigate obstacles up to 1.77 inches high. For electronics, the Wolfbox MegaFlow 200 offers a portable alternative to disposable air canisters, though its 100dB output necessitates hearing protection during use.

Those struggling with persistent grime may find the Kärcher SC 3 EasyFix steam cleaner particularly effective. It heats in under a minute and utilizes high-temperature steam to sanitize surfaces without chemical detergents. For a more intensive manual approach, the Roborock F25 Ultra wet and dry vacuum provides hot water cleaning suitable even for wood floors, while the Dremel Versa electric scrubber offers 2,200 RPM for heavy-duty surface restoration.

Finally, maintaining indoor air quality and clear surfaces completes the routine. The Coway Airmega 200M uses a four-stage filtration system to capture allergens and smoke in rooms up to 361 square feet. For glass and mirrors, the Bosch GlassVAC Solo Plus eliminates the mess of traditional squeegees by vacuuming dirty water directly into an onboard tank, leaving behind a streak-free finish.
