Robots won't be taking over any time soon...
Initial setup went great through the iRobot app. But I had a horrible time setting up Google Assistant. After finally getting everything going Roomba started cleaning and then got stuck between four legs of a chair... a chair... It just kept going in circles under it trying to get out. Why programmers couldn't getting a functional algorithm for getting out of a tight spot is beyond me. Are chairs not a common obstacle these things should be familiar with? I'm pretty frustrated at this point so I'll probably come back later with an update. This is my 3rd cleaning robot... But first Roomba. I finally went with this one because of frustrations from generic brands. It seems the popular Roomba isn't much better. We'll see how it goes over the next few weeks... One other thing I've noticed already is that it SLAMS into furniture. Neither the Eufy nor iLife models were this clumsy. I'll give it a few weeks to redeem itself but I'm left irritated and contemplating a return at the moment.
