Of all the vacuum you have used and tested which one do you recommend? Mr. Ed
-----Original Message----- From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Mike Arrigo Sent: Saturday, September 27, 2025 8:18 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Robot vacuums app accessibility I collect robot vacuums, I have 15 of them. I haven’t tried any of Mova’s robots but as you said, they are part of Dreametech so I would expect the app to work similarly. I have two Dreametech robots, they are usable with some patience. You can use the screen recognition feature of voiceover and this can help with changing settings. As far as changing modes, it’s doable, you just have to memorize the odd labels that each option has. I would avoid Eufy robots, I don’t know if all of them currently use this interface, but the X10 pro’s app interface is completely unusable even with screen recognition, voiceover sees all of the options as one large item on the screen. Unfortunately the roombas are overpriced and behind the times, Irobot refused to add lidar to their robots for a long time and other companies have gotten far ahead of them. The newest Ecovacs models such as the T30c, the T50 series and the X5 are very accessible, probably some of the most accessible robots available. The roborock app also works well, the Narwal app is usable, there are several unlabeled items but for doing things like changing modes it works fine. > On Sep 26, 2025, at 10:18 AM, 'RvR' via VIPhone <[email protected]> > wrote: > > Hi all, > > Are there people here that use a robot vacuum?
