Who wouldn’t want to be able to ask their vacuum cleaner politely to clean up flour after a baking disaster? Or be able to definitively state that it’s so much hotter inside than outside when deciding whether to turn on the air con or open the window? And music. Music everywhere. Here’s our guide to the smart home gadgets you should have on your Christmas list this year.
Vacuum cleaners used to be boring devices that we had to push and drag around the house to collect dust bunnies and other flotsam and jetsam from our floors. But over recent years they've gotten smarter and can now clean our floors with out us even being at home.

Electrolux has been a trusted name in floor care for longer than most of us have been alive. Now, they want to take floor care out of your hands and put it all in the brush-hands of a robot: The Pure i9. It zips, it zooms, it cleans, it glides... but does it suck well, or just plain suck?
