One of the more advanced Roomba's I looked at required it to be online to setup and function. Ended up getting the cheap offline model which does the job without the security risks.

Which model was that? I just got the 960 which I think is considered one of the "smart" models(since it maps the room based on cameras rather than randomly bumping into things) and it works perfectly fine without internet connectivity.

I’m curious; that offline model, does it map space as well as their new top of the line models?

Not the one I have. It just kinda bumps all over the place like it has no memory but it does clean the floors so it’s not a total loss!
