Smart vacuum cleaner. You pay once for not needing to vacuum your house anymore - best deal ever.
I had a very different experience with mine. I bought a middle range one, not the cheap one, with very good reviews at the time. I absolutely cannot trust it. It's always getting stuck, getting lost and not able to go back to charging station, or say that it's "finished" and leav obvious spot of dusts.
My living room is indeed a bit cluttered as it's not that big, but there is still enough space for it to move....
My experience is very similar to this. Sometimes it can go a full week or two with no interaction, but mostly it needs a bit of prodding and helping
I have a thousand wires hidden under my couch, my rug, my chair, and anywhere else I can hide them. Chargers, home theater, other chargers, smart-ish devices, and whatever else that I don't even want to go look at.
I'm terrified it'll eat all my cables because that's what my last one did.
You can just set that zone as of limits
Can I ask which one you use? I've heard such horror stories
I got Xiaomi Mi vacuum cleaner 4 years ago.
If it's so smart, why does it clean for you?
I passed an Intelligence check and outsmarted it.
Looks like a great thing to have indeed. Iβm a bit too worried about the personal data harvesting.
You can always just not connect it to the internet. Always an option.
Donβt you need an app to operate it ?
I operate my Xiaomi Roborock S5 entirely by the buttons on the device, no internet required.
The app can allegedly give you access to more functionality, but I don't really need that.
