iRobot Roomba 692 Robot Vacuum-Wi-Fi Connectivity, Personalized Cleaning Recommendations, Works with Alexa, Good for Pet Hair, Carpets, Hard Floors, Self-Charging, Roomba 692

I had been hesitant about buying a Roomba, but at the same time knew a robot vacuum was going to be the best thing for me. I have two dogs and they both shed. In order for me to stay in front of the fur, I needed to be vacuuming every single day, and although I live in a small apartment that just isnt always feasible. I have been using the Roomba for two weeks now, and I am honestly surprised by just how much I love it. I run it every single day, which does mean I have to keep my apartment ready for its running. PROS: 1. The brush that is on this does a great job at picking up dog fur. I know a lot of vacuums and previous models havent had an actual brush. I find that method leads to a lot of knotted up fur making it hard to clean. Thr brush is very easy to clean. 2. The Roomba is able to go under furniture couch, bed, etc), places where I previously was unable to reach with my vacuum. This has been a great help in preventing the tumble weeds that can happen when you have dogs that shed. 3. Convenience - I dont have to think about vacuuming anymore, I have created a schedule and I just let the Roomba do its thing. CONS: 1. It isnt Quiet - I realize that vacuuming in general is not a quiet job, but when you arent the one doing it, and the job take an hour to an hour and a half to complete, the decibel at which it is completed can be annoying. 2. You do need to prep your house - make sure that things are picked up off the ground, such as dog toys, shoes, electric cords, etc. The Roomba can get caught on these things.

I absolutely love my roomba. I have a two bedroom duplex and Roomba is able to vacuum and sweep the entire place. I really like how she is able to vacuum up on the tile as well as the carpet. This means I had no longer have to sweep my kitchen! :-) The run time is about 45 to 50 minutes and she is able to cover most of the duplex within that time. You will need to make sure that you keep her charging station clear of dust or debris or she may have a hard time finding her charging station. When I put her home I just set her close to the charging station and push the home button. The only downside is that you will have to clean out Roomba about once a month depending on how often you use it. It is important to take some of the parts off and clean them and clean her sensors off. I clean her about once a month after running her about three times a week. As far as pet hair she does a good job. I have two cats and a dog and she still does a great job. The roller does collect hair but as long as you clean Roomba out every month you will have no issues. The issues people have is when they dont clean her out or they dont clean the charging station. If you dont take the 20 minutes a month to clean her out you will run into issues. Overall I was a little skeptical at first but I do not regret my purchase at all and I will always have a Roomba in my life!

I purchased this iRobot during the 2020 Black Friday sale to use at my photography studio. It did a decent job on LVP and the rooms that were carpeted. However, it often got tangled in my area rugs (decorative rugs like fax zebra, faux cow, etc....), all rugs with very low or no pile and not very thick. It also would get stuck on a cliff and when I found it, it was sitting at the edge of a low-pile area rug, not tangled or anything. It just detected the edge of the rug and thought it was a step down. So the cliff sensors seemed overly sensitive. I ended up having to use a regular vacuum because the iRobot was too unreliable. First world problems but it meant I was spending more time cleaning than I was on more important tasks. When we moved states, I brought it home to use in our bedroom because we keep that door closed when we are not in there (to keep the pets out as they are not allowed unsupervised in any of the bedrooms). It gets stuck on the carpet in there and does not do a good job of picking up pet hair. Ive given up on it. Im going to toss it out or sell it at the next neighborhood yard sale. We have a self-emptying Shark for our house that does a phenomenal job. So I guess thats what I will be getting for my studio, too.

This is a great little vacuum. It cleans really well, and the battery goes for a couple of hours. It always docks itself easily when done and never misses a spot in my 1100 sq foot condo. It will go over rugs easily and fits under everything with no problem. I have two 20+ Maine Coons, and it does a great job of cleaning up their hair and any litter tracking. The drawer needs to be emptied every couple of days but, its not a big deal for me. I have hardwood look tile floors and carpet in the bedrooms. It cleans both well. It even cleans the litter mat in from of the litter box. This was well worth the money. I bought it during black Friday sales. This only negative is its a little loud.

We have a cat that sheds a lot and we bought this to try and help keep the amount of dust bunnies under control. Our home is mostly laminate flooring with occasional area rugs. It does well for the most part, but the area rugs still need traditional vacuuming every two weeks or so. Cons: This robot vac is LOUD and not very bright. It will get stuck going in circles frequently and is not very good at navigating obstacles. Pros: Wi-Fi capable. Can vacuum under my couch where the cat likes to hide. Makes it so I dont have to manually vacuum multiple times a week. Not the worst robot vacuum, but not the best either.

Got this to replace a competitor product (shall remain nameless...) which jammed up with hair and dirt and had to be cleaned or unstuck many times in a cleaning session. This Roomba is basic, but works very nicely. Seldom needs cleaning (e.g. rollers, main brush, etc.). Hardly gets stuck. My only gripe with it is the unreliability of the cliff sensors. I have a white tile floor with a step down to hardwood. Most of the time the cliff sensors work and it turns on the step and retreats. But occasionally it just drives over the edge and gets stuck (does not fall down to lower level). Very puzzled why. I tried cleaning the sensors - but not sure if its that. I think because its white, sometimes it just misses the edge. Annoying. update. Cliff sensors still erratic. Work 99% of the time, then they dont.... now the charging is intermittent too. Sometime it will charge, and sometimes it wont. Sometimes is charges, then loses its connection, so over a day or so, it loses all its power. Almost every time I try to use it, the battery is out. :-(. The work around I found was to place a weight on the Roomba when its charging. Not really a solution, but at least its charged when I need it. (yes, I did try cleaning the contacts....) see picture slowly taking the stars off, one at a time :-(

Good for the price, but cant direct it. Just started having issues not staying or connecting to the charging base.

I bought this knowing that there are better models out there that does all if the extra scanning and zoning etc. For my home layout however I was ok with the turn on and leave approach. This unit is exactly that. It simply bounces around and cleans the areas it passes on very well. There is a slight method to the madness as it will eventually go back to the spots you thought it missed. Since I use it when no one is around its perfect for me. I also have mainly flat floors so not too sure about deep cleaning

I got this for a gift for a family member but once we waited 3 hours for it to fully charge, we were faced with an error message, we contacted the roomba IT support team and they couldn’t figure it out and i also contacted amazon IT support team and amazon ended up sending me a replacement. which works great! i just wished it worked well the first time

I wanted a robot vacuum forever before I purchased this one on a Prime Day deal. Everyone raves about them. So far I feel like it is a waist of money and not worth the hype. The longer I have it the more I am certain that when it dies, I will not replace it with another… I chose this one based on the sale, the fact that it doesn’t require the ap to operate and that it will sense a staircase and turn around. I didn’t want a useless piece of junk once the app became outdated, or a pile of pieces after it cartwheeled down them. At its current rate- I doubt it will work long enough for that to be an issue. Overrated and not worth the hype. Pros: Easy to use without the ap. Does great at sensing a staircase… Not once has it fallen down mine…. Both were features I specifically wanted in a robot vacuum. I can run it while doing other tasks and have a cleaner home when I am done. Cons: It WILL error out and get lost in your house. It is loud. VERY loud. Gets the home “cleaner but not clean. It misses A LOT… Something about its programming sends it to the same areas over and over and over while it misses about 50% of the house. It does great at cleaning the edges and under furniture but fails to get the middle of the room clean. Not once has it ever gotten the middle of the room entirely clean. Not once. It runs for hours doing what I could do in about 20 min - but then I have to spend about 15 min cleaning up what it misses so I am not convinced it is really a “time saver” for me. It is NOT consistent. I have hardwood floors with a large area rug. One day it will clean stripes through the rug - the next it can’t “climb” the rug and will turn around at the edge. Some days it will go across it - other days it gets to middle and turns around. This is a very low profile rug. Some days it can’t climb the run but has zero problems trying to climb the baseboards or the wood base to the floor lamp. Both of which are MUCH thicker than the rug. Some days it will dock itself - others it will run until the battery dies. Some days it will clean the kitchen floor - other days it misses the kitchen entirely. Some days it will clean the entry way 5 times - other days not at all. Not once has it gotten the center of the living room clean. Not once. It does leave clean stripes through it though. Between crumbs from kids, fur from pets and my dusty climate - the floor gets dusty looking quickly. Some days it will clean all the edges of the room - another it might miss one wall entirely. The app: So far the only use I have found for it, is to turn the thing off when the pets sit on it an turn it on. You can turn it on/off with the app - You can also schedule cleaning it with it is too loud to run at night (seriously I can hear this thing running even if I am outside my home doing yard work). I’ve tried to run it while we are not home - but each time I try that it gets lost somewhere with a dead battery and I have to go searching for it. Often I find it under furniture or in a corner “stuck”. Some days it can clean under chairs just fine - others it gets “trapped” under them and can’t get out. The version this vacuum uses DOES NOT map your home or let you set areas to clean. The app and the robot struggle to talk to each other and often have to be restarted. It is easier IMO just to reach down and hit the button. The app does track the number of times you use the vacuum even when not started with the app. It is a bit rough on the legs of wood furniture. Many of the legs of my chairs are starting to show missing finish and bare wood where they constantly get bumped by the vacuum. According to the app - I have used this 47 times. I dont feel like that is very many times for furniture to start looking dinged up. I don’t hate it bad enough to resell or return it -but to do it again - I wouldn’t purchase it.
