This is an entry from my diary. Please check it and correct any mistakes.

I've been seeing people using robots to vacuum and mop the floor, and I'm interested in them. The robots come with round and square shape and they don't take up much space so I'm considering to buy one. However, the only disadvantage is that I can use their company's antiseptic only. I'm not sure if their antiseptic is good so I might need to mop the floor by myself. If I need to mop the floor by myself, then I don't need to buy it.

If you are doing it by yourself you are doing it alone.

You're thinking about getting one. Or you're thinking about buying one.

Some of them are round, and some of them are square.

By "antiseptic" do you mean floor cleaner?

I've been seeing people using robots to vacuum and mop the floor, and I'm interested in them this concept/these devices. (As you wrote it, "them" refers to "people".)
The robots come with in round and square shapes and they don't take up much space so I'm considering to buy buying one.

However, the only disadvantage is that I can use only their company's the manufacturer's antiseptic cleaning products with them. only.

I'm not sure if their antiseptic is they're any good so I might need to mop end up mopping the floor by myself anyway.

If I need to mop the floor by myself, then I don't need to buy it. If that's the case, I won't bother buying one.
See above. (By the way, it's a lie that you can use only the manufacturer's products in such machines. You can use what you like. They say that just to make you spend more money with them.)

@Maybo Originally I replied with just one post, but it disappeared.

As you know now, "antiseptic" isn't the right word.

I've seen videos of those machines that clean the floor all by themselves. When they are finished you can tuck them under the bed. Nowadays we have things that our parents only dreamed of.
