We got a Xiaomi Robot vacuum cleaner to help with the dusting and mopping. Some thoughts.
The robot is triggered by handbags hanging off the back of chairs. The lower the handbag, it thinks there is an obstacle and would not go under. I think the spinning ceiling fans confuse it too, I think more testing is required.
I forgot to remove a dangling long USB cable and the robot ate it. The cable finally dislodged a mop and it stopped. Both survived. I should leave a note to the Aliexpress USB cable reseller.
The dirty water container stinks. I think I should empty it more often.
We have resisted getting smart home devices for the longest time. Now we have the robot vacuum cleaner and the air purifier.
Edit:
The ceiling fan spinning blades causes the robot to avoid the area. I think the spinning blades is the issue. The robot keeps pulling out weird stuff. Recently for example it could not return to dock because it found a cord from drawstring pants. The cord wrapped around the wheels and it could not return to home.
