Five tips for choosing a robovac/mop (2025 cleaning guide)

Five tips for choosing a robovac/mop might just save you from an expensive mistake. Rule #1 is that you cannot expect a robovac to do it all.

People have a love-hate relationship with robovacs. They love the ones that work, and hate those that don’t. But I have learned that, most of the time, it is because people buy the wrong robot for their needs.

Perhaps the most important tip is that you cannot expect most robovacs to do it all. Left unsupervised, they can be a disaster. You need to prepare the house for a robovac and understand that most will likely snag and choke on every errant charging cable, shoelace, children’s toy or rug tassel.

Samsung OLED TV 2025: New Sizes and AI Smarts Samsung has just launched its most expansive OLED TV 2025 range yet in Australia. Introducing more sizes, smarter features and a new value model for 2025. For many years OLED TV options have been a single horse race, with LG easily maintaining the king of the hill position. It’s clear that Samsung have decided ‘enough of that’ and are now launching models to compete directly with LG and their G5 hero. Headlining the line-up for Samsung is the new S85F series, joining the upgraded S90F and S95F OLEDs. All powered by Samsung’s latest Vision AI processors for better ‘picture and sound’ optimisation occurring automatically during the experience. Design-wise, the TVs are super sleek. The S95F is just 12.6mm thin, and all 2025 models are Pantone Validated, promising lifelike colours. They also integrate seamlessly with Samsung soundbars via Q-Symphony. Which also supports SmartThings and Samsung TV Plus for connected living and free TV streaming.
