iRobot Roomba i3
I've had this for nine months. It mostly does what it says. The cleaning is adequate, the mapping works, and the app is uncomplicated. The $120 premium over the Roomba 694, however, bought four percentage points of debris collection in structured testing — and a water bowl incident I am still documenting. Worth checking what that gap actually purchases.

Instant Pot Duo
The Instant Pot Duo does what it says. The question is whether what it says is what you think it says. I kept a timing log for seven months. The '12-minute' recipes take closer to 33. The slow cooker runs hotter than the label implies. These are the two details worth having before you decide.
