iRobot will Alexa voice commands to Roomba 900 series robot vacuums
The connected home is finally starting to come together harmoniously, and it's all thanks to Amazon's Alexa.
iRobot announced it'll add Alexa voice commands to its Roomba 900 series robot vacuums for U.S customers in Q2 of this year.
For you lazy ones out there, that means you won't even need to press any buttons or open any apps to clean your floors. Just bark "Alexa, ask Roomba to begin cleaning."

I know what you're probably thinking: How lazy can you be if you can't even muster up the energy to press a button on your Roomba?
And you're not wrong. But that's the whole point of Alexa—it's a first-world solution and a convenience you get for embracing voice control technology.
Most people couldlive without Alexa voice commands for playing music, turning on smart lights or ordering pizza, but it's a beautiful luxury that's nice to have, and saves time. Plus, it's just damn cool to voice commands to automate your home.
In the meantime, iRobot's updated its iRobot HOME app for iOS and Android with "Clean Map" reports that provide detailed visual maps of your Roomba's dust-sucking performance. iRobot says the app can now tell you which areas of were the dirtiest and how much space your Roomba covered.
Credit: irobotCredit: IROBOTI caved and bought a robot vacuum last year so that I'd never have to waste my precious "me" time manually cleaning dirt and dust ever again. It was one of the best purchases I've ever made, but now I have some regret going with a cheaper off-brand model that isn't Wi-Fi connected in any way.
If you're considering a robot vacuum and want something that connects to Alexa, a Roomba 900 might be the way the way to go. The Neato Botvac Connected also supports Alexa commands, but it's way uglier, in my opinion.
