Roborock robot vacuums and mops use cutting edge technology to map and clean your home. The robot vacuums map your home using LiDAR, the same technology that self-driving cars use. Roborock vacuums are smart enough to know where to mop, where to vacuum, and where not to go once you set up no-go zones.
With easy schedules and voice control through Google Assistant and Alexa, the robot vacuums from Roborock keep your home clean automatically, and you can summon them when a mess pops up. Once you couple this with the ability to cross most thresholds, smart suction that changes based on the surface, and enough suction to pick up a AA battery, you'll understand why Roborock is an industry leader.

Buying gifts is the perfect way to show someone how much you love and care about them. But buying for an in-law can be slightly intimidating and stressful, especially when they are picky, making the task much harder.
"Gift guru" Leah Inman has told Newsweek she is inundated with messages asking for suggestions on what to buy a picky mother-in-law or one who already has "everything."
Inman, who is from Dallas, explained it is mainly women who struggle to find a present for in-laws.
According to a 2017 survey, more than 16 percent of 1,012 adult participants said in-laws were the hardest to buy for, although 34 percent stated their significant other was the most difficult person to buy for.
How To Pick The 'Perfect' Gift for A Mother-In-Law
Inman who uses the TikTok handle @LeahsGiftGuide has shared her "secret" formula for finding the perfect gift.
She recommends asking yourself the following questions when shopping for a mother-in-law:
1. Do they need anything/ or need anything upgraded?
2. What are their interests?
3. How do we enjoy spending time together?
She said: "I find that a thoughtful gift will answer one of the above questions but a meaningful gift will answer two or more of the questions."
Previously, 115,000 TikTokers watched the moment Inman suggested a "gift for the mother-in-law who has everything."

The gift should be simple yet effective and Inman suggests that a personalized pouch filled with your in-law's favorite things can be used as "an opportunity to show her how well you know her."
Thoughtful Gifts For Mother-In-Laws
Inman firmly believes that a thoughtful gift can go a long way, especially for fussy people.
"I really find gift giving to be a creative process and would even go far as to say that it can be an art!," she says.
"Watching someone open a gift I curated just for them might just be my favorite thing in the world," she told Newsweek.
One way to do this is through personalized items as mentioned by The Knot, a wedding marketplace, which has put together 50 of the "best" presents for mothers-in-law.
Many people are expected to buy fewer presents yet spend more this year because of inflation. The average holiday spend is expected to be $1,455 per household, according to Deloitte's 2022 Holiday Retail Survey. The audit firm has also revealed that low-income households are set to spend $671.
But no matter how big or small your budget is, Newsweek is here to help you find a gift.
