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.

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.

It does a decent job but doesn’t pick everything little thing up. Goes on and off my living room carpet with ease. Does not cover 100% or my floor but it doesn’t leave a mess either.

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.

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.

I had a shark robot vacuum prior to this one that did not clean as well, however it was almost silent. This lil machine is really good at getting grit and dog hair up, however it is just so stinkin’ loud! I cannot have a conversation with anyone while running the vacuum. Overall pretty satisfied with this vacuum as I can walk barefoot around my house without any dog hair on my feet.

I got this for a gift for a family member but once we waited 3 hours for it to fully charge, we were faced with an error message, we contacted the roomba IT support team and they couldn’t figure it out and i also contacted amazon IT support team and amazon ended up sending me a replacement. which works great! i just wished it worked well the first time

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.

Here are a few tips if youre thinking about getting a Roomba (which you should!) 1. Wait until Prime Day or an equivalent sale. I bought this model for $220 (tax included). If you live in the Seattle area, watch out for the Amazon deals - Amazon vans will park random places for one day only to offload products at a steep discount. The Roomba is a regular for that rotation - Ive seen this model sold for $140. 2. Do not buy cheap knockoff versions for replacement parts on Amazon. Buy only iRobot products (from them directly if possible). There are a lot of versions of fake products from Chinese companies sold on Amazon. These parts are crappy and could impact the performance / lifetime of your Roomba. One example of that is the replacement air filters. The cheaper versions do not seal correctly, so dust gets into the small cracks and other mechanisms within the machine. Replacing your vaccum will cost a lot more than a $10 air filter. 3. Clean your air filter with a toothbrush after each use to reduce the clog of dust. Replace the filter every 3 months. 4. Do a deep cleaning of your Roomba every 6 months. Use a mini flathead and a small phillips to take off the front cover (youll need to take off the small, yellow spinning brush first using the small flathead). Be careful because the threads of the tiny screw are mounted in plastic casing. Very easy to strip. Clean out all the hair around the small screw that attaches the spinning brush (after 6 months, this can cause the brush to stop spinning - 90% of the time, its just hair - side note - this motor is also replacable for only $15 on the iRobot website). Ive noticed a fair amount of negative reviews discussing the shelf life of Roombas. People are making comments like My cats killed our Roomba etc. Id like to set the record straight for this awesome company. Basically, in life, you cant get things for free. You cant expect your car, for instance, to function well over time without regular maintainence. Most people hate car maintanance, so it has become widely accepted for most people to pay someone to fix / clean their car. And, for most people this makes a lot of sense. Wed rather spend our time doing other things besides changing the oil, checking the tires, checking the radiator, maintaining the engine and so on. For vaccums, the mechanics are much less complex than a car. However, they still incur a ton of wear and tear like dirt, cat hair, female hair, dust, and eveything else that lands on the floor. Over time, even the best vaccum will break or need repairs if it is not well maintained. In the old days, we had vaccum repair shops because people hated working on their vaccums. Then, everything possible became automated and outsourced. We could have Roomba repair shops that cost $30 to do a tune up of your Roomba. People would probably pay it. But, rest assured, the same people complaining about paying for that would be the same people who complained about the amazing Roomba - the vaccum that does its job with very little work from the human. The only thing is doesnt do well is clean itself. What we need is a cat Roomba. My closing thought is this one. Spend one hour every three months maintaining your Roomba, and you will save yourself 50+ hours a year (a whole work week) of vaccuming. Thats very simple math, but it will require some effort on the part of the human. I purchased mine on Prime Day 8 months ago. I did my first deep clean (along with the regular air filter cleaning with each use) and she is gently purring like the first day I discovered her :-). I do not own securities in iRobot or work for them. This review is completely of my own writing.

I never expected this to replace my upright DYSON Animal but Im impressed with its performance from day 1. In the early uses the small size of the dust collector becomes evident but not because my upright wasnt doing the job, but because RoomBa was going under and behind things I havent moved in YEARS! Ive already found the full basket to become less of an issue each use as fewer never been seen in recent times areas like under heavy furniture, are discovered. My only less than 100% is that my run time b4 it runs home seems a good bit below the specs BUT I suspect the run time can be diminished the more times it changes direction and I do have a floor layout that can find it bound up for several minutes . . . I get around 100 minutes <your home may not even need THIS long> p.s. my hair rating reflects Mrs and I have short hair, no dogs or cats. I doubt this would be happy with a long haired dog or cat!
