Description

Been using the iRobot Home (Classic) app for a couple months now. It’s basically an app that lets you control your Roomba, Braava, or Klaara robot vacuum cleaners. Pretty solid if you’ve got one of those robot vacs and want an easy way to schedule cleanings, set up specific room/zone cleaning, and check cleaning reports.

Here’s what you can do with the app: you can schedule cleanings, tell your robot to just clean a specific room, and even set up zones that it’ll focus on. It’s got some smart home integrations too, so you can control your robot vac with Alexa or Google Assistant. Took me a bit to figure out all the features, but it’s pretty user-friendly overall.

Look, if you’ve got an older iRobot vacuum, this app will be super handy. It’s not perfect – the maps can be a little glitchy sometimes and the cleaning reports could be more detailed. But it gets the job done and makes controlling your robot vac a breeze. Definitely worth checking out if you’re in the iRobot ecosystem.

Editor Opinion

So here's my take on the iRobot Home (Classic) app. I've tested a bunch of smart home/robot vacuum apps and this one's pretty solid overall. The features are comprehensive without being overwhelming, and I like how it integrates with Alexa and Google Assistant. The cleaning scheduling and room/zone controls are super useful. But it's not without its issues - the mapping can be spotty and the cleaning reports are a bit basic. Still, if you've got an older Roomba or Braava, this is probably the best app to control it. Definitely better than trying to use the physical buttons on the robot itself.

Horrible. The device is a brick without the app, and the app puts you in an endless loop with no way out if the battery dies on the vacuum. Factory...
