I hear you. There’s always Valetudo. Get yourself a supported vacuum and install Valetudo whenever you feel the need. Had my robot for half a year but haven’t come around to doing it just yet. Maybe after its warranty runs out.

One is just smart enough to set a daily schedule, no WiFi or cameras, but it’s bullet proof and easier to maintain than the others. It’s possible to not sacrifice privacy.

What brand/model do you have? I’ve been looking into purchasing one.

That one’s a refurb iLife v3s. Not sure of current price but I paid $62.

Not the person you’ve replied to, but I’ve got a Roborock Q7 Max. It’s cheap and relatively simple. It’s got a LIDAR and proximity sensors, but no obstacle avoidance or stair/cliff detection and no camera. From what I can see it’s also silent (no network activity) even though it’s bound to my WiFi. After months of using it I’d say its been a great choice to splurge on. Never had one, never thought I’d need one, but after seeing dust settling on every bit of the floor every day… I got tired of sweeping.
