Easily one of my favorite appliances, up there with dishwasher and washing machine. My floors are always insanely clean because that thing drives around every day.

Same. Mine vaccums, sweeps and mops. I refill the water tank once a week and replace the bag once a month. Everything is so clean.

It has eaten a few naughty things though. It are a USB cable, it dragged my laptop off a sofa, and it entangled itself in a plastic sheet that was draped over my coffee table and dragged some acrylic paints and a litre of wash water off onto itself. Made a big mess. I also changed its spoken language to Vietnamese for a laugh, then when I changed my wifi router, I had to learn how to follow instructions in Vietnamese to reconfigure it to the new SSID.

Is it sending a map of my house to the CCP? Probably. Is that useful information for them? Probably not.

What is this magic machine, and how much? Also, does it come with stupid firmware that can shut it down permanently?

Mine is the Roborock Q Revo. I paid about $1000 AUD for it. A regular decent bagless vac costs about $400.

Aren't you afraid it will mess up the piano?
