      Easily one of my favorite appliances, up there with dishwasher and washing machine. My floors are always insanely clean because that thing drives around every day.

        Same. Mine vaccums, sweeps and mops. I refill the water tank once a week and replace the bag once a month. Everything is so clean.

        It has eaten a few naughty things though. It are a USB cable, it dragged my laptop off a sofa, and it entangled itself in a plastic sheet that was draped over my coffee table and dragged some acrylic paints and a litre of wash water off onto itself. Made a big mess. I also changed its spoken language to Vietnamese for a laugh, then when I changed my wifi router, I had to learn how to follow instructions in Vietnamese to reconfigure it to the new SSID.

        Is it sending a map of my house to the CCP? Probably. Is that useful information for them? Probably not.

      I’ll also never get one, as my room has big roof construction bars on the floor.

      Honestly one of the surprisingly good things I’ve gotten.

      That said, I have one of the dumb ones. It doesn’t map my house and upload it to the cloud.

      You can find these old / used / open box pretty cheap now.

      I got a 2+ year old model that originally sold for like $1500 USD, for ~200.

      yeah. We recieved one as a gift. It was ok for a while, but you had to keep the floor clear, and it was always getting stuck. Now with small kids. Forget about it.
