Can technology really do the jobs you don’t like doing? Mopping could be on the way out, thanks to robotic cleaners, as Pickr explains.
Cleaning your home is rarely considered “fun”, and certainly if you could get someone to do it yourself, you probably would.
That could be what makes a robot vacuum so appealing. Why do it yourself when the regular maintenance of the day-to-day can be done by something digital.
But what are the current robo-vac and mop machines like?
Check out ABC Melbourne Drive with Ali Moore for its Tuesday tech program, as Pickr’s Leigh Stark dives into robo-vacs and robo-mops, and even answers a tech question or two.
Head to the ABC Melbourne Drive program for February 24, 2026 to hear it, fast forwarding to 1 hour 34 minute mark (1.34.34) for all the action.
