My Roborock S5 or 6. I bought it from a stranger, put it on the floor and pressed the power button.

Neato's D-Series Botvac just works (e.g., BVD8-SD/HP). No Bluetooth. No cloud. No Wi-Fi. Zero network connectivity required. Had mine about 10 years. Replaced the battery once, probably due for another one. Still cleans well.
I don't understand the appeal of having local appliances bound to the fate of network services.
