Hopefully it'll support my vacuum cleaner soon.

The biggest problem to me is that some of the rooting requires opening the decide, depending on the model you might be disassembling a lot.

It's scary when these things cost 300-500 dollars.

I really wish device manufacturers made it easier for people to be able to change the firmware of the devices they've purchased.

When you were first purchasing your unit did you do much research into its privacy policy/rooting support or offline support?

I bought my first unit maybe 5 years ago, I didn't know such a thing as valetudo existed. After I found out, although my unit was supported the process was quite involved so I never did it.

A few weeks ago I bought another unit, it's not supported by valetudo yet but the previous model was. So my thought was that soon enough this new will be supported as well; they don't really seem to be super different when it comes to features (though there were some features I needed, which is why I got the new model instead of the older one).

At this point, I am willing to sacrifice privacy for the cleaning.

I bought specifically off Valetudos list of supported models. But didn't get around to make the needed breakout board yet.
