Since all different modes rely on the same motor, you might expect them all to offer the same level of suction, but that's not quite the case. In robot vacuum mode, the E20 offers 8,000 Pa of suction power, but switch it over to stick mode, and you'll get a massive 30,000 Pa.

Every year at CES, there's a fleet of new robot vacuums that are announced which promise to keep your home cleaner, avoid objects, and pick up dirt and mop your floors better than before. However, at CES 2025, it feels like there's been a leap when it comes to innovation in robot vacuums.

AI powers Aria's more "emotional" conversation skills, and 17 motors drive her facial expressions so she appears as human as currently possible.

Alyek is on the show floor at CES 2025, the ultimate hub for innovation in tech and robotics, and she's on a mission to find and meet all the coolest robots at the event. From pet robots like Loona Petbot and Tombot's Jennie,
