A genuinely useful window-cleaning robot with a cordless portable station and streak-free results, held back by no real scrubbing, uncertain small-pane support and unclear pricing.

Google's 4th Gen Nest Learning Thermostat pairs a striking redesign with an included room sensor and AI scheduling, but its premium pricing and a forced reinstall for existing Nest owners temper the appeal.

Bloomberg's Mark Gurman says Apple will announce a three-product smart home push on October 13: a new Siri-powered display hub code-named J490, an updated HomePod mini, and a new Apple TV. Here's what's reportedly coming — and why it took so long.

We line up eight wire-free robot mowers — from the $1,299 Navimow i210 to the $3,299 Husqvarna 420 iQ — and pit them against each other on price, navigation tech, slope ability, cutting width and edge performance. Here's which one actually suits your lawn.

Mammotion's LUBA 3 AWD 3000 pairs LiDAR, NetRTK and camera vision with genuine all-wheel drive, making it one of the few robot mowers credible on steep, tree-shaded ground — but at roughly $2,799 it only makes sense if your yard actually needs that hardware.

Segway's 1-acre X4 flagship is a genuine all-terrain machine, with 4WD, a huge 17-inch deck and a 40-degree slope rating that shames most rivals. It's the finishing work and the $2,499 asking price that keep it from a top score.

Dreame's A3 AWD Pro 3500 is one of the most capable robot mowers we've seen on paper — wire-free LiDAR navigation, real all-wheel drive and a wide 40cm deck — but rough edges in software, docking and turf care make its $3,199 price hard to swallow unless your lawn is big and steep.

Roborock's first flagship robot mower is a genuinely capable piece of hardware — 4WD, active steering and 39-degree slope climbing make it one of the few mowers for awkward, sloping gardens — but the software still feels unfinished and prices from £1,699 demand patience.

ECOVACS' dual-LiDAR robot mower navigates shaded, tricky yards without wires or an RTK antenna and trims edges better than most rivals, but its 2WD chassis and modest slope rating keep it tied to flatter suburban lawns.

Husqvarna's one-acre robot mower pairs genuinely excellent satellite navigation and a class-leading four-year warranty with dated radar obstacle detection and a narrow single-disc deck — a safe but expensive choice at $3,299.99.

Segway's wire-free Navimow i210 AWD pairs LiDAR, vision and RTK into one of the easiest robot mowers to set up, and at $1,299 it's sensibly priced for lawns up to 1,000 m² — provided you can live with imperfect edges and a layout that isn't overly fussy.

The eufy E15 makes wire-free robot mowing genuinely approachable, with camera-based navigation, a painless app setup and an even cut — but shaky obstacle avoidance, no edge cutting and a low 18-degree slope limit keep it short of the best in class.
