Website was helpful to see the pros and cons of what makes a vacuum great. For example, some pros include suction power, functional and easy to move, and different cleaning modes. Cons include battery drains quickly, struggles to pick up fine materials, hard to clean the dustpan. These help me grasp what to add and what to be careful of when designing.

One end effector on our vacuum will be a few brushes that rotate and collect dirt and debris after a sensor detects there is a mess. In addition to the brushes, the vacuum intake will suck up the dirt and debris that the brushes collect. By using both of these it will ensure for a great vacuum. For the mopping there will be a spray nozzle at the top of the vacuum, using what floor cleaning solution you choose. Then after the brushes self-clean, they will help spread around the floor solution.

After researching, the bestselling vacuums were sleek and compact looking. Our vacuums will be all black with a sensor on the top of the vacuum to know when it needs more cleaning solution and is low on battery. Also, at the top will be where the battery compartment is, allowing the consumer to have easy access to switch the batteries out. Even though there are two elements at the top, it will be completely seamless to give the sleek and compact look.
