Thinking of buying a Roomba to help with dog hair.   Do I want wifi or not.   Appreciatr your recommendations.

They come w/wi-fi but you do not have to use it if you do not want.  Wi-fi has more features.  It's especially useful if you have a Google or Amazon AI (Google Assistant or Amazon Echo).

I don’t find it necessary in my case and adds to the cost.

Mine isn’t WiFi and it works just fine.

I don't use the wi-fi feature. Love my Roomba for vacuuming and also the other similar product for wet mopping my kitchen, utility, and bathroom floors.

Thank you all     .Is there a particular one you like.  So many questions but i know nothing about  them   Just want help with dust.

I got mine from QVC.....iRobot Roomba. I see them at Target; however, the price on QVC when I was looking for one, was better than Target. Probably a TSV.

There are so many Roomba type models.  They basically all do the same thing.  Only you can decide which model is best for you.  Depending on your floor type as well as rugs, some work better than others.  Do research.  Read the reviews on the model you want to help you with your decision.

BBB sells them w/20% discount along w/their "no questions asked" (new) 1 yr return policy w/receipt.

Just wondering why Roomba has wifi.  To play music as it works?  So you can tell it where to go next?  So it can focus on the dirtiest areas?

So you can control and monitor it from a smartphone app and/or Amazon Echo device.

You can also  schedule the Roomba, get notifications, and keep tabs on its cleaning cycles from the app, as opposed to having to schedule your Roomba on the Roomba itself or use a clunky remote control while you are in the presence of said robot.
