The Roborock E4 cleans your floors with incredible bang for buck

Generally speaking, robot vacuums aren't a cheap investment. Good ones, anyway. Most of the time, if you want to purchase a model that actually cleans, you're looking at five hundred dollars minimum.

Roborock is breaking that mold with the Roborock E4. Methodical and efficient, it features both integrated vacuuming and mopping. With 2000Pa of suction and carpet boost, it's capable of competing with all but the most powerful vacuums on the market.

Better yet, thanks to improved internals, the Roborock E4 is up to 10% faster than its predecessors. It also sports a large dustbin, with 640ml of space, and a 28% larger optional mopping system for greater coverage (sold separately). And with intelligent gyroscopes and OpticEye motion tracking, the Roborock E4 can navigate past all but the most complicated obstacles, while its Z-shape route allows it to clean with much greater efficiency.

Capable of quickly and efficiently cleaning homes of up to 2,152 square feet, the Roborock E4 is an incredibly impressive model, especially at its affordable price point.

Controllable via the Mi Home app, the Roborock E4 offers up to 6 different cleaning modes with varying levels of power. It also features Google Home and Amazon Alexa integration, allowing you to start and stop cleaning with voice commands. Its battery offers up to 150 minutes of cleaning power on a single charge, enough to give a once-over to a 2,152 square foot home — and for larger homes, the vacuum automatically returns to its charging dock to top up during cleaning.

The water tank, sold separately for $30, offers two different water flow levels and can be used simultaneously with the Roborock E4's vacuum functionality.

Made of transparent polycarbonate, the Roborock E4's water tank is built for longevity. It can hold up to 180ml of water. Corrosive cleaning agents are not recommended.

There are a few trade-offs here, though. Unlike more advanced models, the Roborock E4 doesn't have object recognition, nor does it have the advanced AI functionality of higher-end models like the Roborock S6 MaxV. It also isn't able to recognize virtual barriers, so you'll need to make sure you manually close off any areas you don't want it to go using magnetic tape, which goes for $30 per 78 inches.

Roborock Invisible Wall

Compatible with all Roborock vacuums, the Roborock Invisible Wall is available in either black or white and allows you to set permanent no-go zones anywhere in your home.

Still, even with those small caveats, the price of the Roborock E4 is pretty much unbeatable. In spite of its power and efficiency, it retails for just $270. That means that even if you do purchase several invisible walls and the water tank, you're still paying less than you usually would for a robot vacuum.

The notion that an automatic vacuum should break the bank seemed like a given. Nobody really thought to question it. But the Roborock E4 is proof positive that you don't need to pay out the nose just to keep your house clean.

At $270, it does everything a more expensive model can — and in some cases, even better.

The hidden cost of food delivery

Noah Lichtenstein Contributor Share on Twitter Noah Lichtenstein is the founder and managing partner of Crossover , a diversified private technology fund backed by institutional investors, technology execs and professional athletes and entertainers. More posts by this contributor What Studying Students Teaches Us About Great Apps I’ll admit it: When it comes to food, I’m lazy. There are dozens of great dining options within a few blocks of my home, yet I still end up ordering food through delivery apps four or five times per week. With the growing coronavirus pandemic closing restaurants and consumers self-isolating, it is likely we will see a spike in food delivery much like the 20% jump China reported during the peak of its crisis. With the food delivery sector rocketing toward a projected $365 billion by the end of the decade, I’m clearly not the only one turning to delivery apps even before the pandemic hit. Thanks to technology (and VC funding) we can get a ri

Slack’s new integration deal with AWS could also be about tweaking Microsoft

Slack and Amazon announced a big integration late yesterday afternoon. As part of the deal, Slack will use Amazon Chime for its call feature, while reiterating its commitment to use AWS as its preferred cloud provider to run its infrastructure. At the same time, AWS has agreed to use Slack for internal communications. Make no mistake, this is a big deal as the SaaS communications tool increases its ties with AWS, but this agreement could also be about slighting Microsoft and its rival Teams product by making a deal with a cloud rival. In the past Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield has had choice words for Microsoft saying the Redmond technology giant sees his company as an “existential threat.” Whether that’s true or not — Teams is but one piece of a huge technology company — it’s impossible not to look at the deal in this context. Aligning more deeply with AWS sends a message to Microsoft, whose Azure infrastructure services compete with AWS. Butterfield didn’t say that of course
