iRobot Home Software

My whole family from the yorkie to my elder years dad all have allergies and hate vacuuming as it kicks up all the things that make us wheezing and sneeze. With this roomba (we’ve named consuela after the family guy maid we love) we’re all feeling better and less allergies means less head colds and one less headache from cleaning inch by inch everyday under furniture my husband had to move but not now. We have the 960 and does as well as my pet hair dyson at the every day minor jobs leaving only the big messes to deal with. Anyone with allergies and pets should have one of these for sure. So if you’re on the fence and thinking you might need a perfect helper that just needs a swipe of the finger to do the job anytime of day you’ve found your perfect match. Our wood floors and rugs look like I have been cleaning them on my hands and knees so nicely even my mom in law complimented them during the holidays too. So buy this beautiful invention and make an investment in your family using your time to do the rest of the time or give yourself a little break;)

This is one of the best products and accompanying apps I’ve used in a long time; and most importantly, my life and time are enhanced by this little Roomba. We are still deciding a name for our Roomba, but we love that we can creatively command our Roomba with her unique name with our Alexa. Contrary to some of the other reviews we read for this app, we found the app is actually very user friendly. Connecting our Roomba to the Internet was straightforward; the graphics are very cute and the professional videos explain all the steps. It’s really one of the best end user training processes in an app I’ve seen. And if we had issues, their help section is pretty detailed (not that we’ve had issue). We were also able to link multiple user accounts to the same Roomba. So my girlfriend and I can both interact with the Roomba and not share a password. Some of the cool features we already enjoy is the maps we see after every completed clean (we have a Roomba 960), the real-time updates in what our Roomba is doing as it is doing it, the customization of a schedule for every day of the week, and the ease of using the app for what it is meant to do - get the Roomba to start and stop cleaning. As a tech person, what I find rewarding is that it performs firmware version updates over WiFi to the Roomba itself. So the actual robot software, and not just the app, are improving over time Great job iRobot! We are very happy with your product.

We have slate flooring that is uneven and it cleans it especially well. With two dogs and two cats it makes life so much easier. The fur is picked up every day leaving my bare feet feeling good. It takes some adjusting, in that you need to make paths for it. We are very tidy, but I move the dog beds and trash cans and anything out of the way when I’d like it to clean behind them. Obviously there are small spots it can’t reach, like behind the doors when it’s doing the whole house, but you can easily fix that by either manually hitting those spots, or closing the door and having it do a room at time. The bin needed emptying quite often during the first few cleanings, but after the second day it was not as bad. Now we can do a couple cleanings before emptying it. It bought us back some time and we really enjoy it. My dogs are substantially more comfortable around it than a regular vacuum and that says something.
