I'm not sure that's fair but you need the right house layout and right practices in terms of cords/clutter/etc.

Depends on where you live. In Poland the house cleaning costs ~$15/h. The robot vacuum would pay itself off within a year.
But I am aware that in e.g. some parts of Asia the maid service is dirt cheap.
