Running one robot every night vs rotating two every other night

Been going back and forth on this with the S1 and the E10 both in rotation right now. Running one every single night keeps the floor spotless but I feel like I'm putting more hours on one unit and the impeller noise on the E10 already tells me it's logging the wear. Alternating them every other night spreads the hours out but I'm noticing more fine debris settling in between cycles, nothing the filter can't catch later but it bugs me visually.

Right now I'm leaning toward nightly on the S1 since it's the one I'd hand to anybody and not think twice about, and keeping the E10 as a weekend backup. Curious if anyone's tracked actual runtime hours on two units long term and noticed a real difference in how long they last, or if I'm overthinking the wear angle entirely.

Only got the one robot so can't speak to the two unit rotation, but when it was brand new i ran mine every single night just cause i was paranoid about the kids and sunscreen film, and honestly four seasons in it's still going strong, so i wouldn't stress the nightly hours angle too much buddy. The fine debris settling between cycles thing though, that's just gonna happen with any robot schedule, that's what your filter's for.
