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

The Roomba picks up dust, hair, small areas of dirt and is quite effective. It stops itself at a set of stairs and properly turns itself around to finish the area that its working. I like how when it is finished, it goes back to the charging base.....and if its running out of power, it goes to the charging base as well. Easy to empty the pouch where the dust collects. Works really well and is fun to use. Can also be controlled on your phone through the Roomba app.

It does a terrific job climbing up on to my rugs from the hardwood, and over bits of trim between rooms. It manages the cat fur tumbleweeds all over my house. It avoids falling down the stairs every time. I have about 800 square feet on my main floor, and the robot gets that job tackled in about 70 minutes. About one out of a dozen times it will get hung up on my pedestal style dining table. It goes up the pedestal foot like a ramp, it’s wheels come off the floor and it hangs there helpless. Then it calls me for help. No big. I wish it had a lower profile so it could clean under my couch. That feels like a couch problem though, not a robot problem. I occasionally wish I’d splurged on a model with mapping so I could ask it to clean a specific room while I’m not in it. That sounds like a me problem though, not a robot problem. A lot of reviews complain about things that I feel are lack of maintenance. Low suction- replace the filter. Not picking up hair any more- clean or replace the brush. The spinny bit that cleans along the baseboard isn’t spinning- take it off and clean it. Not charging- clean the contacts. The parts are cheap. The maintenance is easy. Take care of your Roomba and it will take care of you.

Cleans fairly well. Pain in the neck to clean it.

I had been reluctant to get one of these but I admit I am impressed with the quality and function of the Rumba. I have mainly carpet in my home and this will not totally replace using my manual deep cleaning vac The Rumba does a great job picking up loose surface type dirt and the only thing I have to do is use the app to start it. It would be perfect for hard flooring. It goes everywhere and does well at edge cleaning. It also can do scheduling ( how often and when to an area), generate a report for each vacuuming session and other functions. I clean mine after each session to keep it in good shape. It is very easy to clean and the brushes and filter need to be replaced occasionally but there is an internal log for that too. All in all it does a great job saves me from having to do it so often.

This works great as long as you keep it empty and clean the filters. I have 2 dogs that shed alot and definatley keeps up with all the hair.

TLDR: I recommend for day to day maintenance. Keep small things off of floors, keep things with tassels up. Sometimes it will miss spots. I just run it again. You can see in the pics how much it actually sucks up. I tend to vacuum at the very least once weekly with my regular vacuum. I live in a 722 square foot apartment with 2 rooms. We have 2 cats and a 6 year old. We keep our apartment pretty clean and would vacuum once a day. Since getting new jobs we haven’t been able to vacuum so our carpets accumulate cat hair and dust. Our apartment is very very dusty. The roomba has definitely helped out with this. I have scheduled it to run every day at 9am and it does just that. It’s gotten stuck a few times on tassels of a blanket that was down and a cat toy but other than that it can easily navigate over cords n such. If it gets stuck it will say out loud that it’s stuck and also send a notification to your phone from the roomba app. A con that I have noticed so far is sometimes it will miss my kitchen or only get half of it. I just run it again. Other than that for an older model and doing the basics of what I need I give it 4 stars. We will see when I move in a year or so to an actual house if it will do well there. I will update.

Without Lider mapping robot vacuums are useless as they roam around in same area multiple times.. good for starter kit and is useful if you can use this in a closed room. Good at detecting staircase!!

Fácil de usar y te ahorra mucho tiempo

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!

This is the lower end Roomba so it doesnt learn and have a pattern. I think it cleans very well. I have stopped watching it and rely on the app on my iphone. I still wouldnt leave it running when Im not home. I have had a small problem with the charging which I think the Roomba help line will solve if it continues.
