Once you master all the essential Alexa Roomba commands, you can control your Roomba vacuum robot from any part of the globe and clean your home remotely.

Gone are the days were you used to manually invoke a robot vacuum or set it on a fixed schedule. With the help of smart assistants like Alexa or Google home, you can easily start cleaning any part of your room with a simple voice command.

Alexa Roomba Voice Commands (Entire List)

There are many Alexa Roomba and Braava voice commands that you can use to instantly invoke a task like cleaning the room, mopping the floor, returning to the charging dock, emptying the base, setting a new schedule, cleaning multiple floors, and more.
