My vSLAM (Non-non LIDAR) #Roomba i7 works great. It's got personality.
- sends me pictures of clutter, which should be read in an indignante voice, "What is THIS?"
- actually cleans better than an upright because it has the patience to spend one hour cleaning 1 floor.
I think the bot has revealed that the carpet has been disintegrating and our old vacuum wasn't picking much up.
Day 2 of #roomba upgrade. I think #iRobot can compete if they can give their bots personality better than the knock offs.
So far the bot is an upgrade from the random path-bot and did it's job, albeit getting stuck about 1x per day. Time will tell if it has a catastrophic failure.
I think the self emptying and clutter avoidance is revolutionary.

(revolutionary for me, I'm not buying the cutting edge or most expensive bots)
