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

Does make vacuuming a lot less time consuming. He gets lost sometimes, so I dont feel comfortable leaving him running while I am not at home. I tell him to go home and he gets lost. I have to put him right in front of his home for him to go home. Other than that, works great!

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.

Great gift

PROS: - The Roomba does a great job cleaning vinyl floor and carpet alike. I was amazed at how much dust / cat hair / cat litter particles / specks of random oddities that the Roomba is able to clean. It really does an excellent job cleaning what it passes over! - Scheduling the Roomba to vacuum when my wife and myself are at work. Its great to come home to a nicely vacuumed apartment. - This is a budget item and is pretty affordable when compared to some of the other robot vacuums out there. - Alexa smart home integration. CONS: - Its a bit of a noisy bugger. Youll want to have it vacuum while youre out of the house, which you can schedule easily, however, so no big deal honestly. - The Roomba is not very intelligent, for a lack of better words. It can focus on a small area if theres a large amount to clean up there, but it cant distinguish which rooms or areas are typically the most dirty, like your kitchen. Some other more expensive Roombas are capable of doing this. - Being that you cannot program the Roomba to intelligently learn about your house, it will attempt to enter areas that it will inevitably get stuck at, every time. You will need to Roomba proof your house. For me, that means closing the door to a certain room in my house if I really want the Roomba to get a deep cleaning, otherwise it will get stuck in that room while Im gone, and stop its job early. - The Roomba cant really find its way home, very often. After a long job, Ill often find the Roomba died somewhere in my house and Ill have to bring it back to its home base to recharge. OVERALL: Honestly, these cons are very minimal in the grand scheme of things. The Roomba really does an excellent job of cleaning my house, and after Roomba proofing it , Im able to get more successful jobs that clean more and more. I absolutely recommend this if youre looking for a way to automate cleaning your home. If you want a sophisticated Roomba, you might want to splurge for a more advanced model. As it stands however, this is still a great purchase and Id absolutely buy another robot vacuum from iRobot when this one inevitably one day dies. I cant imagine not having a robot vacuum in my home now with how incredibly helpful this one is. Buy it!

Bought this older model Roomba as a discount/used open box. Great deal. Box arrived and was packaged as new- but no documentation. Not a big deal, just googled it. Machine was clean. Not marks and not dirty. Took a charge and has been working well.

Make sure all your cords and cables are picked up off the floor and you still should vacuum every other week or so with a real vacuum and if you have cats youre going to have to clean the hair out of it a cat brush works really well for removing the hair from the vacuum brush. This thing is amazing it cleans the vinyl tiles and the carpet this. The back door area where my cat box is at after Ive cleaned the cat box I left the cat box up out of the area set the vacuum down there press the go button and it takes off and cleans the perfectly when its done it lets me know I pick it up set it on the kitchen floor hit home and it drives right back to the home station docks itself most days it has no problem at all every once in awhile. Someone will leave a wire on the floor for a cell phone and it will eat it. But all you have to do is flip it over push the two little yellow tabs and it easily comes apart a little spinner brush is easily removed with a small Phillips head screwdriver the filter in the compartment that holds the dirt pops right out in his easily rinseable even if this thing only lasts a year it was worth the money to buy it because I dont have to vacuum But like once a month. Between my son who is 12 and my cat I felt like I was spending every day sweeping the kitchen floor from my son dropping food particles everywhere and the cat tracking cat litter up the stairs and all over the kitchen floor. Again worth every penny. Im thinking about buying a second one for the second floor of the house.

We bought a roomba about a year ago after holding off for a long time. I had heard that they were noisy and weren’t very effective. I was so wrong! We run our robot every day in the middle of the night, and it has changed our lives. Our apartment is so much less dusty, and our newly adopted cat has not triggered our allergies, much of which I attribute to our little robot. Every house should have one of these. Ours is one of the least expensive and it is amazing.

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.

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

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.
