    I’ve had a Roomba, and I’ve manually cleaned a floor.

    There’s nothing dumb about not having to vacuum and mop.

    A Roomba in a public space is a trip hazard.

    A quick sweep is a way to keep busy when there are no customers.

    As others have said they aren’t a full replacement for a thorough human vacuum/sweep and mop. But it takes care of the daily maintenance to the point where I only need to do the full work up every three or four weeks rather than every weekend.

    That is a very old pic. The logo has been different for a while, they don’t really sell those robots anymore, they went bankrupt and got bought by a Chinese company. iRobot created the vacuum robot and failed at staying in the game.

    My mother loved hers. Not that she would have bought one, mind you (I gifted a basic model to her), but the thing can do one very important thing: Clean under the bed without reminding you you’re getting old.
