The world got some pretty exciting news last month when iRobot announced the addition of Amazon Alexa support to two of its best Roomba robot vacuums. Of course, there was one small problem: the cheapest option was $700. That’s a lot of money to spend on a vacuum cleaner, so we dug around and found a more affordable alternative. Meet the Samsung POWERbot R9040 Wi-Fi Robot Vacuum, a well-reviewed vacuum that will obey your command when you tell it to clean your house.
Here are some highlights from the product page:
- 10X more suction power* – Powerful suction delivers optimal cleaning results
- Visionary Mapping™ Plus and FullView SensorTM – Creates optimal cleaning path and avoids obstacles
- Wi-Fi Connectivity – Works with Amazon Alexa – Remotely control your robot vacuum with your smartphone, or voice control with Amazon Alexa***
- CycloneForce™ – More consistent power with less clogging**
- Easy Pass Wheels™ – Large wheels move smoothly over obstacles
