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

    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

      Oh, don’t I know it. I always find “Mildred” stuck on this stupid mini step the previous owner made, or stuck under the side table. That being said, this place would get nasty if she wasn’t running 3 times a week. But those little robots have limitations.

        Great name! Mine’s named Ronnie the Roomba. I wonder if everyone names their robots. Even my lawnmower robot has a name
