About 11 years ago I started getting into buying busted Roomba's on Fleabay and repairing them. I kept two of them, both 600 series 'frakenstein' builds, and they have been running off and on since then. All I have done was replace the batteries recently. My wife is OCD when it comes to our wood floors, so for her early birthday present I got her a Roomba 891 and a Braava M6 Jet. I have to say, that I am EXTREMELY impressed with both of their performances, and more importantly, so is she! She hasn't touched a mop or broom for over a month now, and always comments about how clean their floor is. 'Happy wife - happy life.'
Of course, the secret to buying these things, is to buy them 'used', as you get a HUGE discount on a like new item. The iRobot brand, in my opinion, are very well made. There are others that I have my eye on, such as the Roborock S series with LIDAR and a few others. We certainly are not at the Rosie Jetson stage, but we are getting there. Of course, there is some maintenance to them, but only a few minutes a week, so it isn't bad. Anyone else use them? Here is Eve, Wall-E (Braava), and Blossom and 'bot'. (I have 9 and 13 year old girls, names are appropriate...)
