I would like a robot vacuum cleaner, any reliable, non-data-hungry EU options out there?

I went for Bosch Spotless MAX (without camera) cause they were supposedly made in Germany but it's written made in China on it's back.. I hope it harvest as little data as possible but I can't know for sure.

It works, I can't compare with anything else but it works.

For the record it's a joint venture with Chinese ecovacs introduced at IFA 2025. Bosch could benefit from Ecovacs experience but I believe there was a few hiccups cause when I received the robot its software was incomplete and buggy, and also although it was available the ads campaign seemed it have been pu my on hold.

The SW has been coming together little by little and now we can program the robot for regular cleaning (which is what I expected a year ago..).
