wired.com Molly Higgins 2026-04-12 03:06:00

Others Tested Photograph: Molly Higgins Tineco Go Pet Cordless Vacuum for $226: As when I tested the Tineco Go Mini for my handheld vacuums guide, I was a bit underwhelmed by this vacuum specifically for pets. It has a slot for easy brush removal if hair gets stuck around the bars, which is a helpful thing to have when you’re dealing with pet (and human) hair. The lever and the angle of the lid for emptying are counterintuitive, and the first few times I emptied it, the debris went everywhere.

The new variant is dubbed NB.1.8.1. Like all the other currently circulating variants, it's a descendant of omicron. Specifically, NB.1.8.1 is derived
