"I, let's be clear, am not. But I can share what it's like to make the jump from an entry-level model to one of these multifunctional combo units, something I imagine many Verge readers have considered. To say I'm impressed by the performance of the drone maker's first and best robot vacuum is an understatement. But I'm also not convinced anyone should spend over $2,000 for the DJI Romo P, regardless of how much I like its transparent looks."
"I'm especially troubled by a recently exploited security vulnerability that let anyone see inside owners' homes. DJI says the vulnerability has been closed, and that seems to be true based upon our testing, but others remain. It's an egregious oversight by a company already in the US government's crosshairs because of security and data privacy concerns. My colleague Sean Hollister, who witnessed my robot being accessed remotely by a third party (with my cooperation), has all the details in a separate story."
DJI's Romo P is a flagship robot vacuum that combines vacuuming, mopping, and a self-cleaning base with high-end specifications and a transparent aesthetic. Testing over two months showed clear advances compared with early bump-and-run models, delivering strong cleaning performance for a multifunctional combo unit. The Romo P's size is large and conspicuous, making it awkward in small living spaces. The device costs over $2,000, raising questions about value despite appealing design and capabilities. A recently exploited cloud vulnerability allowed remote access to the camera and microphone; DJI reports the issue is patched but lingering security and privacy concerns remain.
