I’ve thought about getting a Roomba or other robot vacuum cleaner. Does anybody have one? Are they worth it?

Not for me, after all the time I spend making sure there is nothing on the ground that it will choke itself to death on I could have been done with a cordless vac.

Its constantly gets stuck and has to be rescued. I don't think the AI is advanced enough at this stage.

Its does seem to know to close the door after it goes into the bathroom then it bumps around until someone comes to free it.

Vacuum cleaner, yes. Mopping robot might be useful as an adjunct, but definitely not good as primary mopping method.

I forget what you call it, but Zojirushi also produced a slow-cooker-type pot that requires no electricity. You boil water in the outer pot, insert inner pot containing meat and veggies, seal it and in eight hours you have perfectly cooked stew. It was very useful during our cross-country RV trips. At home, it uses minimal electricity and you don't have to be concerned about electrical misadventures if you're away from home.

I have both the vacuum and the mopper. LOVE them. Out of all of my gadgets, and I do have a bunch, they are probably my favorite as I despise sweeping, vacuuming, and mopping floors.
