Are there any robot vacuums/mops that respect privacy; that don’t map your house and phone home with the information?

    Bruh, just don’t give it your WiFi password.

    They don’t have their own cell phone plans or satellite uplinks.

      Many of them can only be controlled from a smartphone app that requires both the phone and the robot to access the cloud. ☹️

        Yikes. I hadn’t realized. I had a great neato robot that was totally offline. The new version wants to be controlled through your phone. F that.

            It’s just frustrating that companies make these nice and helpful apps, and then they pretty much always try to invade your privacy if you use them.
