Samsung's Robotic Vacuum Is Compatible With Amazon Echo

Samsung is looking to build hype ahead of this year's CES event by announcing a few new products before next week's event. Not only has the company announced its second 4K Blu-ray player, the M9500 but the company has also announced the POWERbot VR7000, a robotic vacuum you can control with your Amazon Echo. While we're not sure of all the details, we can say that Samsung's POWERbot VR7000 will function with commands like "Alexa, ask Neato to start cleaning" or "Alexa, ask Neato to stop cleaning." Samsung's robo-vacuum is smaller than previous models, Samsung said, but that makes it easier for the POWERbot VR7000 to go under couches or beds. It can also clean up against walls, which is an issue with a number of other similar devices.
