I would say that robot vacuums are a technology that is still
developing. They are getting better but still cannot take the place of
a full sized vacuum. As has been stated, they can sometimes have
navigation issues and they are not as powerful as a full sized vacuum.
Definitely a technology to keep watching though.
Original message:
It is the app which controls the Roomba 980 robotic/connected vacuum
cleaner from the company iRobot.
It is one of these things which drives itself around your house
vacuuming as it goes.
My Dad and I bought the Neato smart robot vacuum for my Mom a couple of
years ago after she had hip replacement surgery and while it sort of
works, she says in her house it does sometime sget confused and she
says after every second cleaning she has to take it more or less
completely apart to clean the brushes and sensors otherwise it is even worse.
My opinion and conclusion is that considering the price of these things
they are not worth the money at this point, certainly in my Mom’s case
she still needs a vacuum to manually vacuum from time to time, she has
a border collie who sheds quite a lot and while she only has area rugs
not wall to wall carpeting, the robotic vacuum sometimes gets stuck and
doesn’t properly clean the carpets. Maybe if you house is all hardwood,
laminate, tile or a mix of those and if it’s not too cluttered with
furniture and you live in a clean environment these things may do the
job, she lives on a ranch where people at times come in tracking in
dust and dirt and it’s not a complete solution.

It’s accessible .. like you said the battery gauge and status aren’t ….
Hi. will be getting the IRobot 980 today. I am hoping that the app is
voiceover accessible. I was told that some of the app is accessible.
The battery level and status of the robot may not be read by voiceover.
If anyone is using this app, I would appreciate any info that you can
provide. Thanks
