Is the Roborock F25 Ace the best home cleaner?

1 week ago | gadgetguy.com.au | Valens Quinn

Wet-dry vacuums are the dream appliance on paper. A single appliance that handles both vacuuming and mopping, combining two separate devices into one: that sounds like a winning recipe. We recently put the Roborock F25 Ace, one of the latest wet-dry vacuums, to the test, and it shows how far the technology has come. The appeal of devices like this is pretty obvious. Instead of doing one lap of your home to clean dust, and then another to mop the floors, you only need to do one loop.

Apple’s new MacBook Air is out, and it gets the latest Apple M4 chip along with some other improvements. So is this just a cursory upgrade or time to relegate your old laptop to the e-waste bin and treat yourself to something shiny, blue and new? Going straight into visuals, there’s a new Sky Blue colour to tantalise you. I almost thought I was sent a silver model when I took it out of the box, but on closer inspection Sky Blue is actually a subtle, light blue tint.

Otherwise, Apple’s thinnest and lightest model retains the same physical characteristics as its M3 chip-based predecessor with one major exception: a flash new colour. Joining Midnight, Starlight, and Silver, there’s now a lovely Sky Blue finish, which is a metallic light blue with a dynamic gradient that reflects light off the surface.
