Robot vacuum. Used to drown in collie fur and the constant angst of vacuuming.

Requires a fair amount of maintenance but still a massive time saver.

Still gotta empty the thing quite often

The dock has a decent size bag. The long hair is the maintenance killer, have to pull the rotating brushes and cut off the hair regularly.

I have an ancient one with a glorified matchbox container that requires dumping sometimes twice during a run.

Did you go with a name brand? A refurb? I hope this is my next luxury purchase.

We've had both a Roomba and now a Bissell thinking that the longtime vacuum company would be a better choice.

I'd give the roomba a 4.5/5 and the Bissell a 3/5 at best.

Stick with the robot companies.

I got a TP-Link. Seems to work well and already had the Tapo app.
