I bought Phillips robot cleaner specifically to have a device without any IoT features. It just works.

After 3 years, though, the experience tells me that it's not such a revolution -- in an apartment with kids, you have to move lot of things out of its way, and this only pays off if you wash the floors afterwards. Otherwise there's little gain compared to wiping the floor manually.

I guess, if it were slightly bigger and could do washing, it would have had much more value.

I'll second the Roomba. I've got several "highly-rated" models that were recommended by Wirecutter a few years ago, and I scooped them up on a sale. These things are pretty terrible. They regularly get stuck on common household obstacles such as the carpet, the rug, and even the wall. More often than not, our main floor Roomba's charging station is empty because the Roomba itself got stuck somewhere and died, or it just decided not to return to its base and powered off under the dining room table. We also have a recurring problem where the Roombas will sit on their charging stations but won't charge, depleting their batteries until we notice several days later and slightly adjust the contact points to get them charging again.

Terrible purchase, stay away from Roomba.

I upgraded from a Eufy (meh) to the Wyze Robot Vacuum and love it. I love it so much I got a second one for my basement and have evangelized my whole family on them. My two sisters and parents now have their own. We’re all big fans.
