Honestly don't see what this has to do with my comment, especially when I end my comment with:
> I don't have a smart vacuum and none of my smart devices are devices I want to access when I'm not home, personally, so I'm not "for" cloud-based stuff anyway.
I was giving example responses to the question:
"Why the hell would I need the cloud to control a vacuum cleaner?"
So if you want to reply "you don't need the cloud", I guess go reply to that parent comment?
The vac has to not be full.
You also need to semi regularly clear the brush of hair etc.
The robot vac is useful, but turning it on by pressing the button is not hard, especially if you have areas with stairs you need to move it anyway.
There's no need for it to have cloud.
