I own a Robot vacuum. The iLife A20. Its basically like a practice run to having a kid. You cant have anything on the floor i.e no loose paper, no scraps, no footwear etc. If you are gonna be a parent soon, this is a damn good purchase since it both helps keep your house clean as well as train you to be more organized and watch what you drop on the floor. I got it for 17500 after offers and cashback which was a damn good deal.

As far as how it works, it can sweep and mop based on how you program it. I've set it to mop every 2 days and sweep twice a day . It has a container for filling up water and you need to clean the mop brush once a week. It also has a garbage bin which you need to remove and dispose the garbage. It has a dock for charging, an app where it shows how its mapped your home so you can set-up no go zones and you can also sync it with Alexa to give voice commands that make it start mopping or sweeping without a pre-set plan. It does its job "fairly well" but it wont eliminate the human factor. I still sweep/mop once a while but the frequency has gone down ten-fold. I prefer the iLife cause its been a staple brand in this genre for years. You can also get it with the Dustbin storage/docking station that costs an additional 10-15k ( huge vertical box like a dustbin) but if you are not lazy, these non dustbin storage ones are more than enough. Ask if you have any doubts.

P.s My robot is named Jimmy 😀

and mopping can be done maually ..
and I am not lazy, I will make all the foor plan simple and straight forward.. and I used to be an OCD person.. so there won't be any papers or small bits and pieces lying around on the floor . The main purpose of this machine is : to suck the dust everyday 2 days ... I can do all other things manually..

cat wont take away the dust from the floor ... these robot vacum cleaners have their role in cleaning jobs. we need to compliment for its efficiency..
that is much better than cleaning everything on our own..

If you have OCD, this is like the best purchase you can do. Even with floor mapping and proper intelligence, it can still get stuck at locations. But once you use it for a month, you will know what to avoid. If you get it for under 20k, its worth. Sweep twice a day, mop once in 2 or 3 days and you are good to go.

DO NOT buy anything without using keepa. Check the below thread.

Thread 'Keepa Extension - Price Tracker 🕵️‍♀️'

During sales, don't fall for the price gimmicks, use keepa to see its price history and take informed decisions.

Keepa has add-on for chrome/edge called KEEPA: it checks and inform the price history of any item on Amazon.. It's a nice tool for those looking for nice deals on the platform.

✜ View price and sales rank history
✜ Set up and manage price watches
✜ View extensive product data
✜ Search for Amazon products and scan barcodes

This is how it looks in my desktop firefox browser. Look the price graph in magenta.

It seems this the latest and greatest model released in 2024 with all tech fine tuning. in spite of tht it will come with its own challenges.. how we mitigate the challenges is the essence of life..

If this model is the latest and greatest then it will have scanner to detect stuff and will also follow / create its own floor plan. After a week or 2 of usage it should have enough data to prevent any challenges in life. Not sure if you have a pet.. however dogs and cats initially get annoyed by this "rogue" creature roaming around and bumping them.

Regarding price - I think the price was same 20k during the recently concluded sale. Also can check Deebot U2 which is lower but cheaper model.
 
Hopefully they have some sweet deals on iPhone 15 Plus for my family members, after 16 series gets released. Last year our family member got iPhone 14 Plus for 56k including bank offers.

They will definitely have deals for iPhone 15 plus just like last year for 14 plus.
I too bought 14 plus for 58k plus 5% CB on 58k = ₹ 55,100 net effective price ..

If you take 1% back on cc bill payment using a DC it will be ₹54,520

It's not for me, its for a family member who doesn't use anything other than whatsapp and amazon prime music :hehe:
Just need them to be on iOS so we can sync calendar, share subscriptions like iCloud+, apple tv+ etc.
Besides, for a basic user, 14 Plus is perfect since it has insane battery life.

Daaamn nice
My 15 Pro max is at 97% after 8 months of use. And I plan to use this for 5 years. Thankfully it costs only 10k to replace battery.
