I've been learning to program for the second month now, and in the meantime, I'm thinking about home automation. Guys, who has already dealt with robot vacuums: what are the real pros and cons of this device? They say it moves around and collects dust on its own, but how often do you have to clean it? Are expensive models definitely better at cleaning? There are so many conflicting reviews online. Maybe someone can share their personal experience or tips on choosing one? Let's figure out together what's really important and what's just marketing.
Is it worth buying a robot vacuum cleaner? What should you consider?

Last year, I bought a Xiaomi robot vacuum for my family, initially just for the novelty. It could clean on its own, and every day when I came home, the floors were spotless. But soon, I realized—its dustbin is way too small. I had to empty it manually every two or three days, or else it started to stink. And the filter clogged every other day, requiring way more cleaning than I expected. The cheaper models can suck up anything, but they often get stuck under furniture legs; the pricier ones have better navigation but cost an arm and a leg. Overall, it’s great for busy young people who don’t have much time, but you can’t fully rely on it. I’d suggest trying one out at a friend’s place first before committing.
