I’ve found the wireless vacuum (eg Dyson) to be even better: you just pull it out, vacuum, put it back. It’s more powerful than a robovac and, without cord fussing, incredibly low overhead.

Depends on the size of the floor. In my house it would take half an hour to do everything by hand, but just one minute to start the robovac.

I use a Xiaomi Mi which has more "smarts" than a Roomba.
