Irobot Is in Trouble, but Roomba Is Already Dead

Hopefully not the one with cameras that’s sending imagery of your home up to the cloud.

Bought a Roborock and expected it to be ”meh” at cleaning but it does vaccum better than I would (and can do it more often). Had no problems with it so far.

Do they run without set up? What are some useful tricks?

The data you upload to somewhere in your own country is much more dangerous as a recipient may actually reach you. Uploading your data to China? Much higher probability it is inconsequential.

A few years ago, I bought a Eufy robot vacuum. Less than a year later, one of the wheels stopped working: a known issue caused by faulty gears. When I reached out to Eufy, they told me the product had been discontinued, no parts were available, and they wouldn’t honor the warranty. So be careful with them.
