There are, but the mapping functionality drastically increases how well the vacuum works.
Comment on Do air purifiers really reduce dust much?
ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world 20 hours agoAre there dumb robot vacuums? I don’t want to buy a little spy robot that maps my apartment layout to sell to advertisers or whatever.

Yes, for some values of dumb. New ones? I don’t know. But many older ones have no connectivity.
librervac.org/Supported_Devices might be a good start (and maybe even end).

I had one like that, it’s so dumb it had to go at random and often loses the way back home. I assume they still exist. The technology has definitely improved and you can jail break most of them. Last I brought was a little spy bot, honestly, but with some attention you can either overwrite the software (and keep the physical improvements) or block it from accessing the internet. [details figures out by my partner]
