For me, it was buying a Robot Vacuum.

I always noticed I slept better in a clean environment. I bought an air purifier and it made a small difference, but when I bought a robot vacuum my life changed. Finally, my floors were clean every day and there was no dust build up.

I did extensive research on them, if you opt for it I recommend anything by Roborock. When you consider the price of a good normal vacuum, you quickly see how good of a deal robot cleaners are

do they make one that doesn't have any internet connectivity "features"?

their models i just looked at all mention "app control" which sounds like an indicator that you might be denied some important functionality you don't login with facebook or something like that.

I did some quick research because I wouldn't consider buying one that needed wifi access or app control to work. It looks like some can work w/o ever being connected. The functions are limited like not being able to just clean a single room. Probably down to use case if you need the app functions or not.

Edit: If anyone has real experience it would be great to hear.

Except that you will still need a normal vacuum in addition. But yeah these robots look useful, but the price for good ones is really off-putting.

Unless you have stairs you don't really need a normal one. You can also just handle stairs with a broom and let your little floor buddy clean it up :)

Well, not just stairs but also other weird crevices nooks and crannies. Also a normal vac will have mighty more suction. But yeah, I seldomly break out the big guy.
