I genuinely don’t understand why this is a problem for some people. It charges in under 15 minutes while I shower each morning. When I’m traveling I do always forget the charger however.

Robot vacuums on the other hand are awful for me. I always leave small cables and things on the floor like a jacket on the back of a chair. Also it does a poor job of transitioning from a hardwood surface to a thick rug. It frequently fails to charge even sitting on the dock. Also it is louder than even my shop vac.

Which robot vacuum do you have? I have Roborock from like 2019 or so and it still works amazing.

To me it's a real life saver and a pleasure to use.

I do quickly scan the rooms and clean up stuff that I think it might otherwise get stuck at, but it doesn't take more than a minute. Considering the savings overall what it would otherwise take to use vacuum yourself it's crazy good. And I'm definitely a lazy person in terms of putting stuff away or leaving them unnecessarily on the floor.

I have special plastic boxes without lids I can quickly throw things like cables that I left on the floor before enabling the vacuum.

Some people just are forgetful. It doesn't matter how quickly it charges if you simply can't remember to do it frequently enough. That's one of the reasons I decided against a fancy smartwatch myself and focused on Pebble-style monochrome watches with longer battery life.

It's yet another device that needs regular charging. Don't we have enough of those already?

Well, no one’s forcing you to get one.
