When the opportunity to review the DreameBot D10 Plus auto-empty robot vacuum and mop come along, I felt like I was already pretty late to the whole robot vacuum trend. With mass availability online and at retail, it just felt like I was more “late majority” than “early adopter.”
The thing is, despite the evolution of the category and the growing number of brands competing in it, we’re still very much on the early side of consumer adoption of robot vacuums. There just aren’t as many people buying them as you would think.
I imagine that my own hesitancy to embrace the category aligns pretty closely with the slow adoption of the robot vacuum. The price point is still relatively high (although quite comparable to a highquality upright vacuums) yet they seem to be limited in what they can accomplish without supplemental cleaning devices and set up focus.
