Electrolux Pure i9 Review
With its futuristic design and camera-based navigation, the Electrolux Pure i9 certainly does a good job playing the part of a high-end robot vacuum. It can maneuver across different floor types and navigate around obstacles with aplomb. It also connects to an app on your phone that you can use to control settings and schedule cleanings. But for $899.99, we expect a bit more. Our Editors' Choice, the Neato Botvac D7 Connected, offers voice control via Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant, integration with third-party smart home devices, and longer battery life, all for $100 less.
Design
The Electrolux Pure i9 ($840.94 at Amazon) is the first robot vacuum we've seen with a triangular shape. It measures 12.6 inches on each side, and stands 3.5 inches tall. That makes it relatively compact, so it should be able to fit under all but the lowest of couches.

The Electrolux Pure i9 robot vacuum uses a 3D camera for expert navigation around your home, but is otherwise priced high for what it offers.
Excellent navigation with 3D camera; Strong cleaning abilities; Simple, well-designed app
Expensive; Relatively short battery life; No voice control (yet) or smart home integration
