I have this manual device that is kind of like a roomba that you move around yourself. It works great over the course of fifteen minutes.

I'm still on my original one from 20 years ago, only had to replace the head 3 times and the handle twice

My Roomba only turns on when I press the button. Granted it can have wifi access but I work from home and never set that up. All it can do is translate error codes and I can Google those.

It's my fourth Roomba in 20 years. Not bad as I'm someone who never vacuums otherwise.
