www.familyhandyman.com/article/what-you-to-do-before-you-get-rid-of-a-roomba "This Is What You Need to Do Before You Get Rid of a Roomba Getting rid of your Roomba isn’t as easy as throwing it in the trash. If you do that, your data is at risk, even more so now that Roomba’s can map your house." My notes: I don't care for nor believe in the Smart technology. I think it makes us lazy & way too dependent on technology. But for those who have a Roomba or equivalent, stop to think of HOW they work. They map your house. It's a computer. While the company says they don't sell your info & maybe they are honest & do not, that map, just like our emails, bank accounts, could be hacked. Think about that! The map of your house is out there for would-be criminals. No Thank You!

That's just crazy. But then, as long as you know it, you can destroy it before getting rid of it. Just like a hard drive for a computer or laptop. I wouldn't want a roomba for the simple fact it probably doesn't clean as well as a good vacuum cleaner anyway. Yeah, technology has made people very lazy. Vacuuming doesn't take that long.

I've never used a Roomba and have no plans to get one anytime soon. I rather vacuum the old fashioned way.

Yeah, why take the risk? People are so lazy.

I don't think I would use a roomba because it seems to move slow anyway. How does it know that it missed a fuzzy on the carpet? I am really picky about my vacuuming.
I never thought about it remembering the layout of my house but then again a lot of homes that have been built by builders and sold by them have similar footprints anyway and blueprints can be found easily online.
