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

We talked about buying one of these for years. Finally decided to give it a try. Easily programmed. We restricted it to our hard wood floors in a bedroom. Excellent results for over a few months now. We occasionally forget to close the door to the room and Rumba ends up wandering around 5 rooms in our home until the battery goes dead. When we get home we play the game of Find Rumba. Amazingly it does a really good job vacuuming Persian Rugs, bathroom rugs and intermediate pile wall to wall carpeting. Easy to empty the lint container. We run the device 3 xs per week. Always returns to the docking station. Rumba will make their money in the long run from consumers purchasing new cleaning brushes. Our Rumba brushes havent warn out yet but the day is coming. Hopefully the company will find an intelligent price point. It has worked extremely well and is a fun appliance to have around.

I never expected this to replace my upright DYSON Animal but Im impressed with its performance from day 1. In the early uses the small size of the dust collector becomes evident but not because my upright wasnt doing the job, but because RoomBa was going under and behind things I havent moved in YEARS! Ive already found the full basket to become less of an issue each use as fewer never been seen in recent times areas like under heavy furniture, are discovered. My only less than 100% is that my run time b4 it runs home seems a good bit below the specs BUT I suspect the run time can be diminished the more times it changes direction and I do have a floor layout that can find it bound up for several minutes . . . I get around 100 minutes <your home may not even need THIS long> p.s. my hair rating reflects Mrs and I have short hair, no dogs or cats. I doubt this would be happy with a long haired dog or cat!

A bit of context. Ive owned 3 different Neato Robotics models for over 6 years and had a brief flirtation with Eufy RoboVac 11. I stopped buying from Neato because theyre incapable of building one that can take a 5 day per week schedule for more than 2 years before failure. The Eufy seemed like a cheap toy, lacking important features and destined to fail. I returned it after running it twice. The Roomba 692 is every bit as stupid as the Eufy. It uses the same random bounce method of navigation where it staggers about like a drunken sailor bouncing off obstacles and getting stuck in the same places over and over until you physically block access or move the bot. It has no barrier system to prevent it from getting into places it shouldnt. It does no mapping of the room and cant be told not to get lost under the bed indefinitely. It flatly refuses to vacuum our area rugs. The rugs are a light gray on a dark brown floor and they trigger the drop sensors causing the bot to avoid them. If you block off everything but the main living space it will do a halfway decent job. My wife hates the pieces of wood I use to prevent it from going to areas it cant navigate. If the bedroom doors are left open it will invariably run out of battery before it locates the base again. This leads to really annoying games of hide and seek with a dead bot that cant play the find me sound anymore. Where did it get lost this time? Under the sofa? Behind the curtains? Under a dresser? Did it lock itself in the closet again? Hey, Roomba! Its 2021, you dont have to stay in the closet anymore! Ive had it for about a week. Im having a tough time deciding if I should just return it and pay the premium for another bot that can navigate properly or just resign myself to the fact that there are no good vacuum bots to be had for $200 or less. Prime Day saving brought this down to that point. But I really dont want to spend a lot of my time babysitting a hopelessly brain-dead bot.

Had I written a review when I first purchased the item it would have been 5 starts! We were really excited to get this unit after doing a lot of research before purchasing the iRobot as there are a number of options available. We are a 2 person family with no children, no pets and no carpets, we have hardwood floors throughout our home. We keep all our home appliances well maintained and took great care with this unit, even purchasing replacement brushes and rollers and filters to make sure that we had them on hand when they needed to be replaced. We purchased the iRobot in July of 2022 and less than a year later, in April, had to replace the side bush module as it stopped working and the brush wouldnt spin and kept falling off. Then in May, we had to replace the main roller module as the iRobot would start its cycle and then stop completely. Honestly this is not something we expected with the iRobot. And now we are having difficulty charging, even after it returns to its base. We have cleaned the sensors on the docking station and on the unit and we keep hearing Charge iRobot even when it is on its base - that voice will drive you crazy! We have to keep moving the iRobot about until a connection is made and it starts charging. We are basically rebuilding the entire unit and its not even a year old! Obviously, were on our own when the warranty is up in July of this year!!!

I picked up the 692 because it was suppose to be great with dog hair. I didnt even have a huge job for it: one 400sf room with medium pile carpet where our two Anatolian Shepherds hang out during the day. Right out of the gate, it became clear that this vacuum simply cant handle pet hair on carpet. It didnt pick up all of it, and part of what it did pick up was left in two neat parallel rows behind it. (And as anyone whos had a Roomba problem will tell you, Roombas support is the absolute worst.) Theres just no point in using it for pet hair on carpet, because youll end up vacuuming the next morning anyway. Unable to return it without paying a ridiculous restocking fee (my fault for buying something that wasnt Prime-eligible), I moved it to the hardwood floors in our dining room. It does a decent job there, although I still have to regularly untangle pet hair from the undercarriage. Oh, and about once every four days, its high-tech cliff sensor fails and it gets stuck on the edge of the step down from our dining room. Pros: - Reasonably quiet - Bump-and-go seems to work fairly well (although has become stuck under a chair a couple of times) - Useful app - Decent cleaning on hardwood - Edge brush works well for floor edges on hardwood Cons: - Useless for pet hair on carpet - Cliff sensor doesnt always work - Requires regular manual cleaning of pet hair from undercarriage - Having to manually take the filter out and knock dirt off it when emptying is annoying

After a few uses its brush got stuck and was moving. My husband has to open and reinstall the brush part. Hopefully, it will work without getting stuck. I liked my old model of Roomba model more than this one.

Bought this for Christmas, didnt start using it until January. Its loud and clumsy. It has good suction and doesnt get stuck as often as the shark did. I could deal with the noise and it bumping in to things but it around April 10th it stopped charging. The charging base turns on, the light turns green as if it were charging but it doesnt charge. I reached out to irobot for a resolution, hopefully theyll hold up their end and do warranty exchange.

Overall considering the price am very happy with my iRobot purchase. Likes: - Very good vacuuming and suction over various surfaces - Excellent battery charge. It lasts at least an hour - Powerful and speedy motor. It definitely runs faster than its rivals that I have owned before - Overall pretty well made. Dropped it a couple of times with no issues Dislikes: - It sometimes can get confused and vacuum the same area multiple times. Sometimes stairs confuses it enough to require attention. On the other hand it keeps trying to vacuum areas that are blocked off. However, these are mere annoyances - Some parts like the dust bin door are flimsy and can break. Be careful when opening the dust bin door to empty it. Slightly bend it from the middle to release the door - Dust bin could be bigger. Keep an eye on it as if it gets full, this iRobot may not vacuum as well

I was replacing a much older one with a battery that finally gave out. I’m very excited about this new Roomba, I love it being connected to Wi-Fi. You just start it from the app wherever you might be instead of having to remember to reach down and hit the button to physically turn it on before you leave the house. This one has a lower profile, is much lighter and doesn’t slam into everything like my old one did. It did a great job cleaning my wood and tile floors as well as the low pile rugs. So far it hasn’t gotten caught on a few obstacles my old one would routinely get stuck on. Definitely an upgrade. I did have a bit of a headache getting it connected to the wifi using the app. After trying several attempts where it just kept searching for the Roomba but never found it I eventually did a factory reset holding the spot and home buttons which corrected the issue and then it connected without a problem. Be sure you are connecting to the 2.4 GHz band instead of the five with your phone doing the “easy” set up since you probably automatically connect to five on your phone. If you have a pet, a robot vacuum is a must, it makes it so easy to keep clean. The dustbin isn’t huge but that’s just the nature of the beast, be sure to dump it since you can’t do that remotely. Love my Roomba.
