Connecting your robot vacuum<\/a> to Amazon\u2019s Alexa voice assistant levels up your hands-free cleaning experience. Once set up, you won\u2019t need to open an app on your smartphone or push a button on the bot to get the cleaning party started. With a voice assistant on tap, just say a command, and your bot will do.<\/p>\n

Most robot vacuum manufacturers work with Alexa for voice control, although some have more features than others. The basics generally include start, stop, pause, and dock (or go home). But the premium experience includes specific room cleaning commands \u2014 so, for example, you can ask Alexa to tell your robot to clean the kitchen and the living room. This is only available on vacuums with the ability to map your home, such as the Roborock S7<\/a>.<\/p>\n
