Hi guys, Many thanks for your feedback, especially Mike’s. This is essential info to make the right decision. You say the Dreame app is doable with ocr, but I have heard from 2 people the Ok button you have to press after changing settings doesnt work with Voice Over? Do you manage to do it? I am interested in a top of the line model and Roborock and Ecovax have some nice models. Narwal too, so thats an option as weel. I am a bit lazy, so I am looking at the most accessible and smooth operation. So Roborock and Ecovax ar on my list on top.
