    It’s legitimately because they are gimmicks. They will never get your floor as clean as a push broom. They replace the lowest hanging fruit of the cleaning cycle which is already very easy, which doesn’t require you to move things out of the way. If you actually want a clean house, the robot vac will do about 10% of the work.

      Lol, no.

      Without my roborock I’d have cat hair everywhere.

      You either don’t have pets or you enjoy sweeping every day. Either way, it’s obviously not for you, but that’s no reason to be disparaging about the tech.

        You obviously don’t have stairs. The moment you introduce any level disparity in your property and suddenly the product is utterly useless.

      I have very little home automation, but a vacuum robot is one of them and they work great. Mopping and vacuuming.

      It’s tedious work out of our hands and I’d say it’s more than 10% because you have to do it all the time.
