Here's a tangential thought I just had: One of the main selling points of robot vacuums is that they can work while you're away at work, so your house is magically clean when you get back.

Now that a bunch of people work from home, will the usefulness drop? If you're always home, when do you schedule the vacuum to run so it doesn't get in the way or make loud noises during a meeting? Or if you get the wet mopping model, when does it run so the floor has time to dry?



I WFH for the entire time I had my roborock. The sound is annoying, but I still run it every day. The main selling point for me is I don't have to vacuum.
