Now Roombas check in with 'Clean Map' reports to your phone

Series 900 Roombas will soon be able to obey Alexa commands, as well. Sometime in the second quarter of this year, you’ll be able to start, stop and pause the vacuuming robots by speaking to the Amazon assistant. All you have to do is issue simple voice commands, such as “Alexa, ask Roomba to begin cleaning” to activate or deactivate the machine.
