I’ve been wondering about the usability of these. Is everything controllable with the apps? My vision is good enough to avoid bumping into things most of the time but not good enough to read anything that isn’t at least 24 point. I’ve seen demos of both vacuums online and the Neato made more sense to me. The Roomba seemed to behave like one of those toy cars we used to have as kids that would roll around randomly and change direction once bumped into something. The Neato followed a pattern.
