I have to believe that cordless broom vacs have put a dent in robovacs generally as well. When I looked at robovacs last, I came to the conclusion that my house wasn't great for them and that a broom vac I could just pull off the wall and run in a couple heavily trafficked locations for a few minutes was really just fine. The issue previously was that it was sort of a pain to pull out my plug in canister vac--so I mostly didn't. (I have a housekeeper every 3 to 4 weeks.)

I tend to agree. I have a roomba, I like my roomba. But it's old and I probably won't get another robot vacuum because I have a cordless vac now.

Is it my best vacuum if I'm comparing vacuums on technical specs? Hell no.

Is it my best vacuum if I'm comparing by time used? Absolutely.

I think also if you wfh then listening to the roomba go in circles for two hours versus just quickly vacuuming with a stick vacuum in fifteen minutes is a different equation.

		The newer models are much more quiet compared to the older ones. In my case, the 980 vs 705 vac; the 980 can at times sound like a jet plane taking off. :)
