Sieghard, Now any kind of collie is going to be a challenge to a lot of hoovers especially those with rotating brushes. even though your mum had the task of completely emptying and re-systemising the brushes and the bin, her floors did get hoovered! if a person is a bit arthritic or, like me, doesn't see at all, hoovering is very problematic. unless you're home is completely empty, something very difficult to achieve when you live with other people, hoovering is a pain in the neck when you don't see. so, although I don't have to empty mind every time, even if I did, I would find it a very reasonable trade-off for nice clean floors and no headache. as for all this setting it going via Siri, I did once set it off With Alexa, but my poor neato botvac proceeded to bang its head repeatedly against the wall until I sent it home. generally speaking, it's easiest just to press the button. Simply sparkling Sandy
