  It cleans for you when you’re not there. Not everyone has pets. (And not every pet shits in the house)

  I have bought several in the last decade. I’m techy and disabled, and wanted to help out around the house. I have bought from multiple manufacturer but only purchase their top-tier offering, as I want to replace vacuuming, not just compliment it. We have pulled the manual vac out three times in 9 years.

  The cheaper ones are meh, but the expensive ones can truly replace vacuuming and mopping. My issue is that, across… 5 brands, none of them have lasted longer than 2 years, often much shorter lifespans. I recently bought a Roborock with an extended warranty from RR themselves, something none of the others offer, so I’m hoping to be using it for several years to come.

  How is the dog shitting in the house the Roomba’s fault?

  I hate them. They’re loud and annoying and get stuck on things. I can vacuum my house a lot faster.
