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

    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.
