Where I used to live the bus that took people to the industrial section of town only went there 3 times throughout the day.

Rainbow vacuum cleaners are built to last and since they don’t use a traditional grab bag you’ll never have to worry about finding replacements. But I don’t know if they got any Roomba style ones.
I suspect that the magnetic feature you desire is pretty unique to the usa. Anywhere else I’ve been in the world was chip or tap. Swiping the card would throw an error to use the chip only. So that country is just really far behind.
