Have you tried Roborock? It's an amazing vacuum and connects very well inside Home Assistant.

Also easy to repair. I got one that's like 8 years old and I replaced the blower and a sensor and its super easy and the components are cheap.

Not only that, they post the wiring diagrams online and even have a video tear downs.

Here is an example.

I do too. I just run it when they are in school. I keep the vacuum in my coat closet and open the door when I'm about to run it.
