Are there any robot vacuums/mops that respect privacy; that don’t map your house and phone home with the information?

  • I don’t know how you feel about second hand robots, but they are dumb enough to respect your privacy. The old Irobot roombas, They just run off of a internal clock, no connection to the internet, they bump around a bit, then dock themselves when the battery starts to get low. I pick them up at flea markets for 20 bucks, usually need to replace the battery, brushes, but they sell all that. Be weary if they smell like poop.

      I feel that the “dumb” robots are much worse than the lidar robots. Mine cleans very efficiently and also navigates when things move (like chairs). A buddy of mine has a “dumb” robot and has since stopped using it because he has had to rescue it often
