Why does a roomba even have cameras facing up like that if not to spy?

That's why you get the ones with laser navigation and no wifi instead.

Robot vacuums are a retarded concept. Sure, I totally want to have a 1/3 of my floor clean at all times, but I want the 1/3 to change and be in a long stripe around the apartment. Vacuum the floor yourself you lazy fucks, anybody using a robot vacuum deserves to have their genitals photographed on the toilet (and worse).

As a lazy motherfucker with enough expendable income to buy one of these things, I agree. It takes like 10 minutes to vacuum my entire apartment with an actually powerful vacuum/hoover/sucky-machine. I bought a Shark one for 250 imperial currency and it's fucking fantastic, turbo suction power.

Exactly, same goes for those fucking lawnmower bots imo. If you buy any of these things you are even more worthless then a vacuumrobot

>because a robot vacuum can go over gaps between toilet and living space
There's a bunch of shit you have to do to make the robot vacuum work. And then there's still places you have to clean yourself. In the end, you do just as much work as regular cleaning. You fell for the marketing meme. You don't need a robot vacuum, you were just convinced you do by fucking TV ads. lmao
>>21743
Except your floor is never fully clean and a robot vacuum cannot clean as well as a person can.
>every day
Try not living like a pig, and then you wouldn't have to clean every day. A 20-min vacuum every few days is enough, if bi-weekly you mop the floors also.

You westoids really are spoiled, huh?

gadget malfunction. Sorry, I forgot to quote you
>cheap gadget
Just because it is cheap doesn't mean it is good or that you should buy it. What happens when it inevitably breaks? You have to buy a new one or spend time fixing it. Now multiply that with all the gadgets you learned to rely on, and what do you get? An alienated gadget maintenance specialist.
