I have a non-robotic, modern battery vacuum. It has some extra features you can activate by connecting to an app. The one I remember is that it can estimate the quantity of dirt you vacuumed which sounds interesting, though obviously not vital to vacuuming. Unfortunately, I would never consider connecting the app for fear of what info it might be phoning home with (even if it's just my vacuuming habits). It's too bad that "connected" is basically synonymous with stealing personal information. There are lots of cool non-spying things internet connected stuff can do, but companies have ruined it by using them mainly for bad.
