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

    (They probably don’t exist)

    The product companies may have European owners but I believe pretty much all if their electronics and plastics manufacturing will be in China. For those small motors probably also in China. Europe has mostly industrial motors and industrial/medical electronics fab/assembly and plastics (maybe some of the chips would be infineon/stm/NXP though).

      I hear this excuse a lot: “it’s all built there anyway!” forgetting that company XYZ may have their stuff built in China, but they also have quality control… So yeah, I prefer giving only part of the money there instead of the whole price tag.
