Ratings and reviews

11/26/23 - The latest update to fix bugs now created a new one. First, getting the app to load is a royal waste of my time. It takes more than 5 minutes to load, or I have to close the app and try again, but even then, it is extremely slow to load. Then I get error messages when in use, or it returns home or stops mid-clean. Please correct these issues!!

In theory, you can use the app to set a vacuuming schedule. What actually happens, though, is that it will stop close to the dock but not quite on it so that it doesn't charge, and then silently stop cleaning. This desperately needs a notification when a scheduled cleaning is skipped because the robot is offline but it doesn't have one.

It works constantly well and have only once had an issue getting reconnected after a power outage. It's handy to run the Romba after I've left the house if I forgot to do so. I don't use the scheduled feature as randomly rooms are not picked up enough at a particular time of day to do so. I do wish you could stack multiple jobs/areas rather that needing to wait until one finishes and the vac returns home before you can start another. I like the Romba idea more than I thought I might.
