I would wonder about it getting up all the dirt and debris on the floor, even in corners, can you trust it to do the job it claims to do?

Just curious.

I have had one for over a year. I have no usable vision, but find it about 95% accessible. All the buttons are tactile. The machine actually talks.it tells you the problem when there is one. For example, charge rumba.
