Really not sure about this.

Which Roomba do you have? I've narrowed it down to the 880, 960 or 980.

I had a neato a few years ago, my dog didn't like it.  He could care less about 
the Roomba.  Wonder if there was a sound or something he just didn't like.
The Roomba needs no sighted assistance to set up.

So we have had our Neato about 1 week.  It is pattern driven, where as
the IRobot just kinda goes round and round bouncing off of things.
The app is all accessible, except for (of course) the map.  Initial
setup you will need sighted assistance to read the front panel.
Everything else is very doable.

an I phone robot would cost and what would happen if the robot

$200 between the 960 and 980. $200 between the 880 and 960.
Bed Bath and Beyond is the best place to get one, especially if
you use one of their 20% off coupons.

Hi:
Me too, have a guidedog that is a cross, and 2 long hair cats.
Acording to the review, they work great on dog hair. The 880. 890,
960, and 980 got the best reviews in regards to dog hairs. The 690
did okay in the dog hair reviews. The 800 and 900 have different
technology where the hair doesn't get caught in the rollers. I
just haven't decided on which to try. The 900 series have the longest battery 
life.

They work very well.

Especially for keeping maintenance after a deep cleaning.

Hi:
Has anyone tried the Roombas with the iPHone app? Are they accessible?
Is the Roomba worth it?
