The cheaper ones are great, because they don't connect to an app or wifi. Mine just has a remote with a timer. Like I wrote you, mine has been going for 6 or 7 years.
I'm not trying to convince you to buy one, I'm trying to explain why you have one. Because YOU said that you don't understand it. I'm trying to explain my needs. No need to shame me.
Of all the household items i have, the robot vacuum I would certainly buy again.

As I said. I am not interested in any of this. I am glad you find it useful, but I have the level of technology I am comfortable with.

Which one is that? I want one without cloud and valetudo seems like a pain. Buying an 800 dollar vacuum only to risk bricking it right away is scary. I'd buy a simple one for $80 right away though.
It is like having a smart fridge or something that produce ice-cubes for me and loads of other stupid kitchen gadgets. I didn't feel the need to have a robot vacuum cleaner in the past and I don't feel the need to have one now. Especially with all the iffy spying stuff that it might be doing.
Also any of these things that is less than 100 euros is likely to be crap. I just got rid of a lot of old electronics tat.
