I know you can’t put a true price on privacy, but I can clearly state that this goes beyond reasonable pricing for me. $1800, plus $180/year in fees for bags/membership subscription. That’s a $3600 + battery and parts replacement investment over 10 years, and who’s to say the app/device firmware will be supported that whole time? The extended warranty is for two years. There doesn’t appear to be information on repairs outside of the warranty, which requires the subscription for 2 years for the extended warranty. This sounds like a disaster of a product from an ecological standpoint.
The price is way too high. I’m still rocking my dumb Roomba from ten years ago. It’s a few parts away from the Roomba of Theseus at this point, but it still works. Without an Internet connection.

Would you mind telling me which model you have? I’m looking to pick one up used on ebay or something :)
