What is a product that sounded promising but ended up being very underwhelming?

I have not the newest but relatively new models from iRobot (Roomba) and Neato. The Roomba has more features, but I prefer the shape of the Neato for getting up against walls and corners. I would recommend either.
Neato looks to have gone kaput last year. The shape seemed to have positive benefits over the typical round ones. I wonder why no one else has gone that direction.
The 2-in-1 mop and vac Roombas looks exciting, though at a heck of a cost at the price of a Miele or 6 of my Shark uprights.
It's wild these are on their tenth generation. I think mine was a 2nd.
Oh, that's such a shame. Neato made some really good vacs and cost somewhat less than iRobot.
I'm interested in trying one of those combination mop vacuums as well. Whenever one of mine dies, I'll probably try that. They're both going strong for now, however.
What I would not recommend is going for a cheap brand. We got one (before getting the Roomba) as a housewarming gift and it did not work well and it broke after a few months. So we ponied up and bought a Roomba to replace it.
