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

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 received this on Christmas and on January 7th the side brush stopped spinning, I am so bummed! I took it apart and found some debris but I didnt think it was enough to cause a malfunction. Upon further research it looks like the side brush motor has already burned out and needs replacing.

After ordering this, a family member with an older model warned me that non-mapping Roombas get stuck a lot, so I was a little concerned. it turns out, I had no reason to be. While this model doesnt map your house (and so isnt quite as efficient), it does a great job of keeping itself from getting stuck and follows a pattern that gets rooms vacuumed effectively. It does have flexible brushes that dislodge larger objects that might be up against a wall or baseboard, but it doesnt clean corners especially well (and obviously cant vacuum stairs), so occasional, manual vacuuming of those areas is still required. It does return to its charging station automatically, but only if it has a clear path AND wifi connection. It also alerts you to problems (like when it vacuumed my daughters phone charger) via the app, but, again, only if it has a good wifi connection - so if you have wifi-dark areas in your home, it might not always work as intended. For the price, Im beyond satisfied. The only reason for the four-star review is that its not as efficient as a mapping model and doesnt hit corners. Its great in every other way!

So I have a yellow lab whose job it is to deposit many dogs worth of hair around the house. With hardwood floors, after a day it doesnt look like I ever vacuum. This is a nice sub $200 solution. For less than I pay my cleaning lady, my floors stay nice looking all week. The added benefit is that it helps force me to take the extra 2 minutes prior to leaving the house to get things off the floor. The one downside is having to empty the thing every time when I get home. The debris catcher is always full of dog hair.

Bin is small, fills up quickly. I have to empty it 1-2 times when its running, so I dont have this on any schedule. We have dogs, dog hair, this thing has to be cleaned out at least monthly. I run it about 2X/week, so about every 8 runs it needs a good cleaning. Pull the wheels and rollers, get a pick, takes 10 min or so. More work than a big vac, but its still a great light-duty vac that runs around by itself which is super handy.

We like to use this for cleanings in-between thorough once a month professional cleanings. You need to keep an eye on it while it is running, because it sometimes gets stuck under a cabinet or on a hefty rug. We move some of our chairs and other furniture before using the Roomba so it can move more freely.

I am very pleased with my vacuum. It does a great job on my hardwoods and transition well three to the rugs. It’s very easy to clean once your finished vacuuming. Comes with great filters that are easy to clean as well.

I am new to Roomba but I am forever a fan. It has made my household chores a breeze. I love that it is able to sweep and vacuum under my bed. I love the scheduling feature and it’s capabilities to connect to my Echo. It is by far one of my best purchases.

I’ve never been good about vacuuming. I hate the whole process of lugging a big machine around and dealing with cords. I no longer have to deal with that, and my floors are much cleaner than before. That being said, the 600 series don’t have mapping technology and more or less uses a random cleaning pattern. It will alternate between random cleaning and doing perimeter stuff (sweeping the baseboards and around furniture). This can be kind of annoying when you just want to clean a certain area. There are days when it seems like it will only clean where I don’t want it to. As other reviewers mentioned, it also gets confused around dark areas of carpet. It thinks dark spots are cliffs and avoid them. Usually it will end up hitting the dark spot at a certain angle and be able to pass it, but this issue can cause it to get stuck in my carpeted hallway every so often. Overall, my floors are much cleaner and I use it almost every day. But, it would’ve been worth the extra $100 or so to get the i3 or j7, which both have some level of mapping technology.

Ive had my iRobot for two weeks. I have a wood floor in my kitchen and carpet in my family room in an open concept. The iRobot does a fair good in picking up. After about the third time running it, I can see a pattern forming in the path it takes for each room. Dont move the furniture. It maneuvers around it. I havent read the manual or setup the controls through the app on my phone yet, but I like the fact that I can do other things while the Robot is cleaning the floors. It has a long run time too.
