  "account": "DJI, renowned for its top-tier drones, has entered the home appliance market with the launch of the DJI Romo P robot vacuum. Our review gives it a top score of 4.5 out of 5, describing it as an \"extremely impressive smart-home debut.\" This is largely due to DJI's drone technology, which provides the robot vacuum with exceptional navigation and obstacle avoidance.\n\nThe robot vacuum has won the prestigious TechRadar Product of the Year Award in the Home category. Currently, it is available at a significant discount of 44% at JB Hi-Fi, making it a highly affordable option compared to its retail price of over $2000. This early Black Friday deal offers excellent value, especially for those skeptical of robot vacuums.\n\nDespite its futuristic appearance reminiscent of the Star Wars Millennium Falcon, the DJI Romo P is a surprisingly capable cleaning machine. Its suction power of 25,000Pa may not match higher-end models, but it effectively cleans floors. The vacuum also functions well as a mop, using dual spinning pads instead of rollers.\n\nThe package also includes a surprisingly compact dock that simplifies ongoing maintenance. The accompanying DJI Home app is praised for being user-friendly and efficient. Overall, the DJI Romo P is a worthy winner of the Home Device of the Year award and is highly recommended for anyone looking to purchase a new robot vacuum for their home during the upcoming Black Friday sales in Australia.",
  "summary": "With class-leading navigation and superb cleaning on all floor types, the DJI Romo P is worth picking up ahead of the Black Friday sales rush, thanks to a massive AU$1,003 discount at JB Hi-Fi.",
