Found the article quite over positive on iRobot. Got a standard roomba in 2011. Got another one in 2022. Thought it would have improved? Nope. All the same. Get stuck in cables. Always so dumb and so slow. Hair still get stuck in the brush. Got an app for it, which was really just a fancy way to start/stop. Sure it “worked” but I was left with the impression that nothing had improved in a decade. My wife couldn’t handle how slow it was so we ended up getting a wireless Dyson. Yes we have to vaccum “ourselves” but considering how much I had to manage the roomba to stop from being stuck everywhere, I’m now saving time.

The app has this ridiculous problem of freezing every few seconds while you select your options… like come on really? It’s done this since day one!

> My wife couldn’t handle how slow it was so we ended up getting a wireless Dyson. Yes we have to vaccum “ourselves” but considering how much I had to manage the roomba to stop from being stuck everywhere, I’m now saving time. This was my path as well. I did not have Roomba, but similar brand and it was constantly getting stuck in cables and under furniture. I am now using a battery vacuum cleaner and I am spending less time with cleaning than constantly babysitting my stupid robot vacuum cleaner.
