Get quality art prints of your Instagram photos with CanvasPop

Over 10 million people have become creative photographers thanks to the impressive cameras on their iPhones and beautiful vintage-looking filters offered by free app Instagram. The app can turn even the most mundane subjects into artistic renderings given the right eye and the right choice of filter, so it’s no wonder that it’s one of the most popular app downloads for the iPhone. What is a shame, though, is that after the photos are taken, they only reside in our Instagram streams or maybe on a Twitter or Facebook profile if you’ve chosen to share them. We love sharing photos with Instagram on our iPhones, and we’ve seen some great things like phone cases and calendars pop up using photos from users’ Instagram streams, but never a service that would turn our creative snaps into gallery-worthy canvas prints. CanvasPop is offering just that and is the first company to specialize in printing Instagram photos, lucky for you. 

If you’re worried that the camera on your iPhone 3GS or iPhone 4 isn’t good enough for top-notch quality 12 x 12 ($30) or 20 x 20 ($60) canvas prints, fret not. The folks over at CanvasPop are experts at upsizing images. The company offers PicturePerfect technology, which should ensure that your low-res photographs turn into clean and crisp high-quality images for printing. Users simply login to their Instagram accounts via the CanvasPop website, select the photos they would like printed (there are countless size options, as well as different canvas and frame styles), and in no time the wall-worthy prints will be on their way.

Narwal Freo X Ultra with dock in home

Few robot vacuums and mops are as well-rounded as the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra and Narwal Freo X Ultra. The two premium robots will vacuum and mop entirely on their own, before returning to their docks to automatically clean their mopheads and empty their dustbins. That sort of functionality doesn't come cheap, with both products carrying hefty price tags that'll put a big dent in your budget.

Because they're so expensive, you'll want to pay close attention to the differences between these two robot vacuums. Both are great additions to any household, but one might be a better fit for your needs than the other.

The Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra placed in its dock.

The Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra and Roborock S8 Max Ultra are two of the newest additions to the Roborock family. Along with having almost identical names, these robot vacuums share much of the same spec sheet -- including the ability to mop and vacuum in a single cycle before automatically emptying their dustbin and cleaning their mops. They're impressive gadgets by all accounts, but since they're wildly expensive, you'll want to carefully compare the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra and Roborock S8 Max Ultra before adding one to your home.

If you need help, here's a comprehensive look at these two premium robot vacuums, including a comparison of their vacuuming and mops skills, a look at their docking station perks, and a final determination of which is likely best for your needs. Keep in mind that you really can't go wrong with either product -- after all, they're two of the most expensive robots in the category -- but one might be a slightly better fit for your household than the other.

What to know before connecting the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra to your drainage system
The Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra model that hooks up to plumbing.

One of the coolest features of the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra is its ability to connect to your existing plumbing. This allows it to automatically refill its clean water supply and drain its dirty water after each cleaning cycle. In other words, it turns the robot vacuum into a highly automated floor cleaner that needs little to no manual input.

The most demanding portion of owning this version of the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra is installing it. Unlike the traditional model, which comes with water reservoirs and plugs into an electrical outlet, this model needs to connect to both your water and drain lines. And depending on how your home is set up, it might be more of a hassle than it's worth.
