Thanks for all the answers.
I wanted to get the neto but with the wifi issues etc. my friend is
hardly technical so I felt the roomba might be easier for her to operate.
I am glad the app is mostly accessible.
Guess we can try it and return it if we don't like it.
I used a Neato many years ago and was much more impressed with its
cleaning ability although I thought the Roomba had a bit more inteligence.
Unfortunately the Neato was quite hard to use and we just couldn't do it
successfully most of the time so had to return it.
There was the ability to access the linux shell in the neato through a
computer but it was kind of a pain and a lot of trouble to go through
just to try and vacuum successfully grint!

Yes, and I believe Sandy Tompkins on this list has had both Rumba and
Neato products, and she seemed to much prefer the Neato.
The neato currently has some app accessibility issues with VoiceOver,
but I’m still using mine successfully, although not as efficiently as
I could with better accessibility.
I direct message NeatoRobotics via Twitter on Wednesday asking them to
make their iPhone app fully VoiceOver enabled for blind users. I
received a response direct message from them several hours later
thanking me for bringing this to their attention, and that they had
forwarded the request on to engineering. Of course, there’s no
guarantee that anything will be done. I’ve made the same suggestion
through their customer support twice previously without evidence of
change in their 2 recent app upgrades. But, as Mark Taylor pointed out
to me, companies seem to have different and possibly more impactful
representatives on their social media streams. I encourage others
interested in this to either direct message NeatoRobotics, or another
avenue of their choice. It’s clearly in their interest to address
these changes.
Thanks, Keith

Hi Don,
Make sure you also check the Neato Connected robotic vacuum, it’s a
bit cheaper and gets much better reviews across the board. It’s been
discussed here quite a bit. I believe the app is accessible with some
issues, but it sounds from what Shaf said that this is also the case
for the Roomba.
Regards,
Sieghard

Well the subject says it all.
A friend is considering getting one and I wanted to be sure the vacuum
and the app were a good combination.
Thanks in advance.
