> I've found that while it doesn't do a lot of what a human would, it can do it daily. In my case the time savings made it pay for itself in half a year.

My home has pretty high thresholds/doorsteps (what are they even called?), and the robot always gets stuck. Thus, we clean together once a week: it does the vacuuming, and I clean the bathroom, kitchen etc and help it go where it wants.

This kinda works, but I wonder if there are models specifically with higher clearing for getting over bigger obstacles?

Just make a small ramp for it.
It's smarter to adapt to the future. If you have the choice, have no carpets, all furniture on legs at least 10cm high and no door thresholds. Or buy one robot for each connected area in the house.
