there is basically only one wifi vacuum model that can easily be operated without the app, as it’s the only one that has a display. the other ones can’t do any scheduling, or I think even change the vacuum power without the app. of course virtual no-go lines are gone now too.
I believe you could use a 3rd party program via USB to schedule these, but most of their wifi vacuum line is too cumbersome to use anymore.
Seems better for privacy. And if you aren’t there to turn it on, you aren’t there to see the dirt anyway. I do my own floor cleaning but I imagine half the fun is putting up your feet while the robocritter snuffles along doing it for you. And you’d be able to stop it if it ran into trouble.
I use them while working from home because the thing needs a fucking babysitter. I was conned into buying iRobot trash (owned by Amazon and guess which cloud they use?).
At least they still work. Yay for manual/offline mode.

most people use these while at work

Early generations absolutely sucked at nav and getting stuck. I got a roborock with lidar and it is basically perfect.
I guess neato is just that better lol
Sounds like a good way to come home to a disaster
I’ve been vacuuming my house while in at work for 10+ years now. Its a game changer
Well I’m glad it’s bringing you joy, and I’m just going to sprinkle a few sparkles your way to make sure our conversation didn’t jinx you at all.
well I wouldn’t let it vacuum in a room with a wine glass pyramid
