I hope this stupid phrase dies in the coming year. It’s about time.

I gotta say, I've never really found the appeal of the self-propelled vacuum cleaners. They're incredibly finicky and prone to getting snagged on surfaces. They don't have particularly good suction and their waste storage is minimal. Tons of moving parts that wear through easily over time. Belts, fans, and wheels all get worn away from the device's heat and exhaustive regular use.

The time savings is minimal and the expense is extraordinary. I just don't think its worth the trouble.

Yeah good for you, but that's hardly the point now is it? There is nothing wrong with automating stuff like this and expecting it to work without bullshit like the post happening.

Ugh. Stop shaming people for wanting to automate mundane tasks. No one's playing a stupid game here, the problem isn't robot vacuums. The problem is that manufacturers insist on holding features hostage on the basis that you connect said vacuum to the Internet, so they can harvest (and then sell) your data. Be mad at that, not at normal people wanting to make a boring chore less burdensome.
