iLife V8s Review: Far From a Clean Sweep

Designing a budget robot vacuum is an unenviable task. Most robot vacuums already operate within a very limited set of engineering constraints. They all have to be about the same size and make below a certain level of noise. The batteries have to operate for a certain length of time. You can buy iRobot's entry-level vacuum for $299, and you can find Neato's for a mere $200. With the iLife V8s, the most obvious addition is a mopping function.
