Never used a robot vacuum, but the idea is that you set it up once and never think about it, right?
So you'd set it up once with bluetooth, then disconnect and let it do its job.
Software updates could cause issues, though if they release a finished product it wouldn't need any or much of those if it works for you already. And updates can be managed over bluetooth.
On the smartphone App, I see a map of all the rooms, and while I sit on the couch, Wi-Fi allows me to watch the robot vacuum go through all the rooms. I suppose if it got stuck, I'd know where to find it. Not critically important, but kind of fun.
