iRobot Robotic Vacuum Cleaners
If you’ve ever said the word “Roomba” to mean any robot vacuum, you’re not alone — iRobot basically invented the category. Founded in 1990 by MIT roboticists, iRobot hit gold with the original Roomba in 2002 and has since become one of the most iconic names in home automation. The brand leans heavily into innovation, with a portfolio that’s rich in exclusive technologies like PrecisionVision™ Navigation and Clean Base® Auto Dirt Disposal, and it continues to push premium features down into mid-tier products.
But are you paying for genuine quality or just brand prestige? Keep reading as we unpack everything Roomba has to offer.
Dreame Robotic Vacuum Cleaners
Founded in 2017 and backed by Xiaomi’s ecosystem, Dreame Technology hasn’t wasted time making a name for itself. In just a few years, it’s gone from newcomer to heavy-hitter — especially in the premium-but-not-overpriced category.
Dreame’s bots are all about blending serious engineering with a sleek, modern design. From Pathfinder™ Navigation to MopExtend™ arms and auto-empty stations that do everything short of walking your dog, they’re chasing full automation — and doing it fast. Their lineup competes directly with Roborock and iRobot, but often undercuts them in price while packing just as much punch.
Curious if Dreame’s robots really live up to the hype? Let’s break it down, feature by feature.
