The MSI M800 is a robotic vacuum cleaner with a powerful suction system and an arm that swipes at dirt and helps push it into the robot’s dust hungry mouth. What makes the MS800 special is that it has a self-charging capability. This robot vacuum also uses sonic sensors that stop the device from bumping into furniture. The MSI Robot Vacuum MS800 will be priced at around $400 each. MSI also makes two other robotic vacuums, the fancier R-1300, which features a webcam you can watch from your computer and use for household security, and the R-500 which has a super slim design but lacks the sonic sensors and self-charging capability of its siblings. Watch the video after the jump.
