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

Not exactly what you asked but just in case, you can free some robot from cloud using valetudo List of supported device can be found here

If your priority is not to benefit to Chinese giving them data it's great but you'd still give them money instead of directing it European manufacturers (if they exist).

Which is why you buy used. No money exchanged to companies you don't approve of and less e-waste too! Valetudo supports many older models as well...

Yes, although some models only work if they've never been updated (often the vulnerabilities which enable rooting have been patched in later releases).

(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.

Completely agree, but did think it was worth sharing in case OP or others already have supported devices

Motivation isn't "anti-anyone" to be perfectly honest. I don't see the absolute necessity to have a vacuum cleaner connected to the net, but if it is I would want that to be in a minimal data exchange setting regardless.

Self-hosting a vacuum cleaner wasn't on my bingo card for this year, but I will definitely give it a go :)
