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 like the vacuum overall. It was my first robot vac and now I know what I would like to have in the future vacs based on what I don’t have with this one. It just moves around randomly for the 90 minutes and does a good job, but I would like some programming options. You can remotely start it from the app but that’s it. You can set a schedule from your app but that’s it. All in all, it works well for a basic robot vacuum. It fills the little collection bin each time it runs so I know it’s working, and I can see a difference in the amount of dust bunnies I chase.

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 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 had this vacuum a while now and it works great on hard floors and is convenient not to have to vacuum the entire apartment . However, I have an area rug in one room and carpet in my living room and have to go over them with my Dyson upright to get what my robot vacuum missed, even after running the robot 3 times in one day, my Dyson had an empty canister and picked up a lot of left over dust and pet hair.

I just installed tile in my house and I am constantly sweeping dust and hair. I would like to say that it is dog hair, but I shed more than a Golden. The vacuum serves its purpose. Things that I like: saves me time and the app is good. Things I dont like: Brush stopped working on day 2 because like I said, I shed like a Golden. Husband had to take brush part apart and pull all the hair. It was caught on the wheels, brush, you name it. It has gotten stuck a few times under tables, and sofa. I wont run it when I am not home. I have to block several rooms in the house because once it gets in there, it goes around and around and around. Recommendation: I think I would do more research on different brands and models. Women have long hair and it can be just about everywhere, so not sure if there is a model that can help with this problem.

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.

Constantly gets stuck, clogged, or runs out of battery before it can crash its way back to the charger. It just randomly drives throughout the house like its blackout drunk. Areas of a room cannot be programmed to be avoided, so furniture that is just the right height to squeeze under, but too heavy to squeeze out from under, or outlets with power cords that cannot be kept out of its way, or doors that are easy to shut all become problems as this thing smashes into them all and never finishes a job successfully. UPDATE with MORE issues that I didnt mention on the initial review: This thing appears to seek out problems to be created for you. Its very noisy, and when I happen to be around when it runs its schedule, I usually determine its too noisy to let it continue and try to send it back to its charger. But if its more than 5-feet from the charger or not pointed directly at it, it has no clue how to get back there. It wanders around aimlessly as if I never tried to send it back. When it gets to its charger, it has often moved it around the floor enough, pulling it away from the wall such that it will never be able to dock itself on the charger. If it runs completely out of battery, good luck getting it to charge again! It needs to be lined up ever so perfectly that it is extremely difficult to do so by hand. It practically needs to line itself up. If its off by a millimeter it wont charge at all. Rugs are completely off limits for this worthless machine. Some I have are light enough that it tries to vacuum them up and gets them jammed into its gears. Others have patterns on them that are incompatible with its programming, somehow making it conclude that it is surrounded by cliffs, and it gets stuck on them every time never cleaning them at all. If you have certain rooms or areas of a room that you want to keep it out of because it has problems there, it is a massive headache trying to find any workable solution. Any obstacles that I try to put up it views as a challenge to be overcome, constantly smashing into them and attacking at different angles until it finds a weak spot to be exploited. Usually it gets past my best effort, but if it doesnt there is still an annoying obstacle in a passage way that I need to step around that the Roomba cannot. Finally, I would be remiss to not mention to never consider buying one of these if you intend to have a new dog in the house! On multiple occasions it has found a mess left by my dog in training before I could. It doesnt see something thats sitting an inch higher than its brushes as something to be avoided, it sees it as an enemy to be pushed around. When it comes across a fresh pile of poo, it goes over it as many times as its mechanics will allow. Smashing it down and spreading it all across the floor. Getting it mixed up into its wheels, brushes, and gears and leaving me with hours worth of cleaning of the mess it spread across the floor and within itself. If you have money to waste, get a few of these things for friends who you dont want anymore. The cruel joke will be realized soon enough and they will all stop talking to you altogether.

This product has been great for getting dust under our furniture! It picks up dropped hamster bedding well. It worked well on small amounts of fine sand from the beach and grit carried in from the garage. The amount of dust removed from beneath our king size bed was impressive. Once you get wires off the ground the product can safely be run without much supervision. I run it downstairs for around an hour then I can pick it up and run it upstairs. I just pick it up and carry it back downstairs and then press the return button on my phone. The station is kept on the main floor. The phone app is nice but Ive also just run it without the app. It has a sensor so that it won’t fall down the stairs. I have been careful to keep the bottom brushes free of hair. I perform maintenance by pulling out long hairs from the unit every other cleaning to prolong the life of the brushes. Very pleased with this product, however the next one I might splurge on a more efficient mapped system.

Its programmable so you can set and forget; however, it gets caught on any cable and loose rug. When it doesnt get stuck, it sweeps well and Im glad every time because I hate feeling things when I walk barefoot. We run it once daily in the morning as we wake up because its noisy and crashes on everything before turning, so better to run it when were already awake or out of the house. Its smart enough to avoid falling down the stairs. I bought it like-new on discount. I wouldnt pay full price tho.

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.
