It would be nice if you didn’t have to reconfigure your whole home to make sense for disc shaped robotic vacuuming.

This.

Also vacuuming and mopping are the quickest and easiest parts of the whole house cleaning process so it is not like it is saving yourself so much time anyway.

I do not have one, but as a pet owner, it is a tempting proposition. The task might be low effort, but it is enough that I do not want to handle it daily (or even weekly). Having a robot do a daily okay-ish job without intervention is worth something.

Wait why..? Most vacuums sold now make it easy to create no-go zones. The only thing I occasionally have to deal with is loose cables wreaking havoc
