I have never hired a cleaner, but I imagine there are also people who are uncomfortable having strangers in their house and handling their things.

I have also heard about people getting cleaners who initially do a good job, but whose work quality degrades over time. You wouldn't have that problem with a robot.

Until it gets a million software updates to add “features” that are really just ploys to slow the device down and encourage you to upgrade ;)

The cleaning performance of my Roomba degraded over time.

Assuming that the robot is properly maintained and no parts break.
