From familiar devices and convenient gadgets, to home appliances that enrich our lives, to new services. This is a serial project that focuses on the latest in tech. In the third installment, we will be looking at the Roomba Combo 10 Max Robot + AutoWash Charging Station.

A foldable smartphone that gives you the best of both worlds.

This summer was longer than usual. Even at the end of September, many people were wearing sandals. When the weather continues like this, you want to stay inside an air-conditioned room. At such times, your smartphone is your best friend.

Thanks to the widespread use of the Internet and smartphones, we can do almost anything no matter where we are or what position we are in. We do things that were previously unimaginable, like watching a movie on a small screen while on the train. Of course, smartphones are not suited to technical work, but you can make time to sit down and use your PC. When it comes to replying to emails, the quicker the better, so replying immediately from your smartphone is the best.

In any case, we are now in a smartphone society. Moreover, it has completely matured. In the past, cheap meant bad, but now there are many smartphones that can be used normally. However, Google does not stop evolving. Although it is a latecomer, it continues to release popular models and seems to be becoming a very big presence with each passing year.

This is the "Pixel 9 Pro Fold" folded up, which is often used when traveling. The unique shape of the phone means that you can rest assured even if you drop it if you have a special case (¥7,920).

Nowadays, robot vacuum cleaners are available from various companies, but when it comes to robot vacuum cleaners, it's Roomba. It is so well known that some people think that the general term for robot vacuum cleaners is "Roomba". There are so many types that it can be confusing, but choosing is easy. Basically, the performance is determined by the combination of the vacuum cleaner itself and the charging station. The Roomba Combo 10 Max has two types of charging stations, the AutoWash Charging Station and the AutoEmpty Charging Station, and this time I tried the former. It requires almost no maintenance and does almost everything automatically, making it perfect for lazy men.

The Roomba Combo 10 Max Robot + AutoWash Charging Station can be summed up in one word: professional cleaner. And when it comes to floors, it's probably a cleaning expert.
