Cleaning up after us so that we don’t have to, the DEEBOT OZMO 950 is providing you with the ultimate combination of premium features. (You can revisit my previous review of the DEEBOT OZMO 900). A clever robot cleaner to deep clean your home/apartment of all sizes, this robot’s optimized cleaning system can mop and vacuum, picking up more dirt and reaching more areas. It has a longer battery capacity, allowing it a 3 hour run time and will charge and resume cleaning when it runs low. All controllable via the ECOVACS app or with voice command through Amazon Echo or Google Home, the DEEBOT OZMO 950 is your ultimate, slim design, wet and dry, cleaning companion. $999 | Stockist: JB Hi Fi, ecovacs.com
