Is there a fairly privacy-respecting robot vaccuum still available somewhere?

Doesnt need wifi/bluetooth/account/internet etc blah blah blah. Dont want it cutting out when the ol' wifi or bluetooth is down

I just want a product that I pay for that does the vacuming everyday without selling me down the river. There is hearday/online whispers it exist(s)

Where do I go from here?

It's really hard to get away from the Wi-Fi necessity, but I was recommended an ECOVACS Deebot because it used lasers, not cameras, which could still map your home (possibly... more accurately lol), yet at least block the company from directly seeing your possessions.

I don't know if they're still laser-guided, though; I've been out of market research for a while. I'm happy with my $30 corded stick vacuum, haha.
