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 that my floors are consistently cleaner than before I purchased the robot. Due to my physical condition, I had difficulty cleaning under my couch. My Roomba does a fantastic job of cleaning there. I still need to clean the corners, behind the furniture, and under some low-level tables, but in general, I am most satisfied. Be sure to remove shoestrings, light cords, etc. out of her way because she like to tangle herself in them.

I feel it does a decent job of picking up light debris like pet hair but not so great with food crumbs. Also, if you set it up in an area where it can travel into and out of different rooms, it only returns back to the charging base (on its own) about 60-70% of the time.

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

Setup with the app was a breeze and I was able to integrate it with HomeKit (Siri). You just have to do a little prep and make sure you don’t leave things out that it’ll get caught or hung up on. Our LVP floors clean up really nice with this guy, and it’s awesome that you can set routines.

The positives: I use it every day. Just turn it on and let it go. One day is downstairs, the next day is upstairs. It senses drop offs so it doesn’t fall down any stairs. It runs for about 90 minutes, gets underneath furniture, zig zags everywhere, is meticulous around corners and grooves it can get into. When it runs downstairs where the base is it docks itself when the battery is dying. After running it several days in a row I have noticed a decrease in the amount of dirt, dust, dog hair and human hair it catches. The negatives: it’s dirt receptacle is very small. Doesn’t hold much and has to be emptied every time. It can’t get into inside corners very well, only outside. There is a fan of some sort that blows as it moves around and it does tend to blow debris around or the little brushes end up throwing the debris off to the side. While it can make it over ledges in the floor, like rugs or wood separating rooms, there are certain rugs it struggles with like bathroom rugs or any rug that has strings hanging around on it as it wants to suck them up. I have not used the remote. Call it laziness on my part. I carry it upstairs on those days and I jus5 lean down and hit the go button when it’s downstairs. Knowing how some of these models are so extremely expensive I am very happy with the performance of this inexpensive model. So what if I have to still vacuum periodically in the corners and the stairs. This is well worth the money!

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.

Even with a few flaws, this product is well worth the price and certainly makes my house cleaner than when I have to do my own vacuuming! I have four cats and one dog, and so my house is filled with pet hair. Ive had this Roomba for 9 days and Ive run it every day and it is still picking up dirt and pet hair every day, and my floors look great. I love that it works well on both my carpet and linoleum floors, including where I have throw rugs! I have one rug that is a little too thick so the Roomba doesnt climb up on the rug, but the others are no problem. The Roomba will go over my throw rugs with no problem. However, the one main complaint I have is the line where my carpet and linoleum meet. I do not have a wood or metal threshhold between the carpet and linoleum, just the carpet ends and linoleum starts. The Roomba goes from one to the other great, but it leaves a line of pet hair along the edge of the carpet. So after two or three days, I have to go along the edge of the carpet with my fingers or my other vacuum and collect the growing gathering of pet hair. But it is still WAY better than having to vacuum all the time. Granted, Roomba is still a round robot in a square world, but it does a surprisingly good job of getting the dirt and pet hair out of the corners of my house. Not perfect, but again, well worth it for the rest of the work it does. Battery life is about what it says - approximately 90 minutes of vacuuming. Ive had to clean out the brushes twice already, but again I have a ton of pet hair, and its easy to clean out the brushes, so again, well worth it. Id rather take a few minutes a couple of times per week to clean the Roomba than spend an hour or two per week just trying to keep up. I dump the dirt canister every day which is very easy to do. Note I dont have any stairs or cliffs in my house, so that hasnt been an issue, and once it ate the charging cord for my cell phone, but it stopped and told me an error message, and I rescued my charger cord with no problems or damage. Overall, Id buy it again with no hesitation. If I had another floor in my house Id buy another one for that floor. I set mine to run in the afternoons while Im at work, and I love coming home to a clean house!

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.

I debated buying one of these robotic vacuum cleaners for years. I was deterred by the price, and also overwhelmed by the variety of models. I finally bit the bullet and bought this model, since it was on a price deal of $199 and offered me 5 interest free payments. Deal! The set up was quite easy! I downloaded the app, and let it go. I named it Hazel and off she went.... and bumped... and did all kinds of willy nilly zig-zagging. We have laminate flooring throughout the majority of our 1200 sq.ft. home. Hazel had trouble navigating underneath my dining room table-- as the design was too narrow for her to get underneath. The chairs were also a maze to navigate, and she kept getting stuck on the corner of my couch. Ive since had to put a stool in that area, so it doesnt get stuck. We have thick carpeting in our master bedroom, so I wasnt expecting much. I was impressed that Hazel went underneath the bed (a place I rarely ever vacuum) and did a pretty good job in that room. We have an area rug in our living room, and its no problem going from laminate floors to the rugs. I love that! Hazel has some difficulty returning back to home base, but Im guessing thats because it has to navigate past my dining room set to get there (I need to figure out a new place for home base). Once the job was completed, I was amazed at how much dog hair and dust was in there. LOTS!! Thats the real reason I wanted a robotic vacuum... our short-haired dog sheds lot. My hallways doesnt have that dirty/dusty look any longer. Of course, I still have to run my bad boy vacuum cleaner! However, Hazel does a pretty good job of maintaining dust and dog hair free floors. I just hope that Hazel lives a long life, because shes a good little helper.

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.
