These are the robot vacuum-mops I recommend for every type of home

The right robot for your home has less to do with specs and everything to do with your floors, rugs, clutter, and general tolerance for robot nonsense.

I like my split ergo Joy-Con.

Dbrand’s new $20 Joy-Lock is simple, but great. I typically don’t ever want to use my Switch 2 Joy-Con, but that’s changed a bit since this holder lets them spread out for added comfort. The Joy-Lock looks and feels best when used with the company’s $20 grips (also included with the Killswitch), but they aren’t required.

<em>The mechanism spaces the Joy-Con apart about as much as Nintendo’s stock Joy-Con grip.</em>
<em>Putting the Joy-Lock into Batarang mode requires pulling on the Joy-Con with a fair bit of force</em>.
<em>The Joy-Lock shells aren’t required, but they add some much-needed ergonomics to the Joy-Con controllers.</em>
