Robot Vacuums: the ones I still recommend
Robot vacuums live or die on the boring stuff: whether they get stuck, whether the app stays usable, and what the replacement parts cost a year in. These are the ones I have run on my own floors.
A robot vacuum is easy to love in the first week and easy to resent by month six. The difference is rarely suction; it is navigation, maintenance, and how the company treats the product after you have paid. Reviews land here only after a vacuum has spent enough time on my floors to show its real personality.
