My best buy ever was a $ 20 "dumb roomba": It was just a little ball with a battery inside that made random movements, and you could put it in a little "cage".

It did a horrible job, like a 5 year old half-assing it, put hey - $ 20, 0 effort for a little help? Everything was slightly less dusty and hairy, and it pushed most of it into the corners. Saved like 3 minutes per day.

Is ot noisy though? My cheap robot is so fuckyn noisy!

No, it was also quiet. More quiet than the < $ 100 cheap sweep robots with rotating brushes that actually attempt to capture dirt in a compartment inside.

Sad end, though: One day, it decided to just roll away and we never found it again. We thought it'd be under something, but when we moved out a few years ago, it became clear that it decided to find a new home long ago.

Ohh so its purpose is to push dirt to the corners so you clean it up later? Doesnt seem that bad. My robot is one of those with dumb spining brushes and minuscule dirt compartment.
