Review on πŸ€– IRobot Roomba 5101IR Remote Scheduler by Michelle Williams

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Great idea but bad implementation.

Well, it works its way. It does what it says; It allows Roomba to be programmed, but it has some pretty serious flaws. 1) The instructions are not very clear. For example, to program it to clean once a day on Monday, do not select the "once" option, instead select the "weekly" option. it just stops doing its job on schedule. If you've scheduled it to run when you're away from work, it can be hard to tell it's off schedule. 3) Walls and Roomba are not programmed at the same time and they get out of step. Roomba can stick to its schedule but forget the walls, or vice versa. That can sometimes be a headache because it's hard to tell if they're working properly or not just by looking at them. Nonetheless, it's still a good thing because it's the only way to get Roomba to work on a schedule to run, and without that feature it won't be all that useful for people who don't work most of the time.

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • There are downsides
