I have the Roomba 980 which I picked up about 3 years ago. For the most part it does a good job…the app for the most part is accessible… My apartment is about 500 sqft and I run it 3 or 4 times a week. I’m amazed at the stuff it picks up. I do still run a regular vacuum every 3 or 4 weeks…

Keith, We bought a Shark iRobot 851 for Christmas and have been quite pleased with how easy it is to use. There are only three buttons on the unit, clean, deep clean, and return to the docking station. The iPhone app isn't much to shout about, but the vac itself works fine and is easy to

Sometimes you have to do the three finger swipe down on the updates screen to get it to say Refreshing page, before the updates show up. Has anyone tried the short text since the update? I've never had problems with the short text channel. Richard Arthur C. Clarke's third law says: "Any

I forgot to mention that I have a dog that sheds a lot. The brushes are much harder to clean than the rollers. It picks up a lot of fine dirt And dog hair as well both on wood floors and carpet. I love mine. The bin would need to be emptied out each time you used it depending on how dirty or

I have a Cosco basic Irobot Roomba something like an 803. It works great. I got the one with two rollers not the brushes by recommendation from someone who works at iRobot. It really does work well and it's pretty easy to clean. It's a pet of sorts. I love it. You have to work with it though.

Actually comparing the document channel in Seeing AI with Voice Dream Scanner would be better. I would choose Voice Dream Scanner if I wanted to keep a scan, but now that Seeing AI can doesn't need to be so high above the document, they are pretty even on accuracy. Voice Dream Scanner is
