  • Stain Scores and Streaks: How We Developed a Better Mopping Test
    We’ve been a bit obsessed lately with finding a reliable way to objectively test and score robot vacuum mop combos and upright electric mops. While we do evaluate how well these machines tackle stains, we’ve also realized the need to measure water usage—since using too much water may lead to streaks on your floors or possibly leave messes behind. So in this review, we are taking this challenge head on; explaining why water usage matters, walking you through our new testing methods, and revealing how these findings have changed our rankings and overall methodology!

  • Roborock Qrevo Edge Review – Our New Best Pick
    Welcome to Vacuum Wars and to our review of the Roborock Qrevo Edge. It’s the newer robot vacuum model from Roborock that has almost identical features to their flagship model, the Roborock Qrevo Curv. In fact, other than the lack of a curvy dock,  we can’t find many differences at all between the Edge and the Curv—except for one very important difference, which I think gives the Edge the edge.

What We Look For

In our reviews we look at features and details that our viewers and guests have expressed are important to them. This can include things like:

  • Ease of Use – The weight of an upright or cordless vacuum is important just as much as smooth handling and useful attachments. Robot vacuums also need to be intuitive and easy to use.
  • Pet hair and hair wrap – How does the vacuum cope with pet hair? Does it clog easily with hair or will the hair wrap around the vacuum brush roll?
  • Smart Vacuums and Smart Home Features – More and more vacuums are introducing smart features that incorporate with smart home systems or allow the vacuum to adapt to floor types and levels of debris.
  • Filtration – Emphasizing the importance of advanced filtration technology to prevent fine debris from recirculating in your home. We think this is important for all homes, but people who are particularly concerned with allergies will also find this helpful.
  • Power – Assessing vacuum suction and power.
  • Debris Pickup – Last but not least, let’s not forget how important basic debris pickup is to choosing the best vacuum. Some vacuums will have great debris pickup regardless the floor type, and some may just do better on one floor type more than another. Either way, we can help you find the right vacuum for you.

We value the trust you place in Vacuum Wars, striving constantly to deserve it by offering in-depth, real-world insights. Your trust fuels our commitment to rigorous evaluations that genuinely help in choosing the right vacuum for your needs.
