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

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.

This vacuum is what we needed! With two hairy dogs the vacuum does a great job keeping the floors cleaner! The robot doesn’t seem to remember floor plans or where it’s home is. It seems like a drunk vacuuming but does get everywhere eventually! We supplement using our Dyson once a week just to get a deep cleaning but the Roomba does a great job.

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.

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.

Got this to replace a competitor product (shall remain nameless...) which jammed up with hair and dirt and had to be cleaned or unstuck many times in a cleaning session. This Roomba is basic, but works very nicely. Seldom needs cleaning (e.g. rollers, main brush, etc.). Hardly gets stuck. My only gripe with it is the unreliability of the cliff sensors. I have a white tile floor with a step down to hardwood. Most of the time the cliff sensors work and it turns on the step and retreats. But occasionally it just drives over the edge and gets stuck (does not fall down to lower level). Very puzzled why. I tried cleaning the sensors - but not sure if its that. I think because its white, sometimes it just misses the edge. Annoying. update. Cliff sensors still erratic. Work 99% of the time, then they dont.... now the charging is intermittent too. Sometime it will charge, and sometimes it wont. Sometimes is charges, then loses its connection, so over a day or so, it loses all its power. Almost every time I try to use it, the battery is out. :-(. The work around I found was to place a weight on the Roomba when its charging. Not really a solution, but at least its charged when I need it. (yes, I did try cleaning the contacts....) see picture slowly taking the stars off, one at a time :-(

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.

We purchased this vacuum since our son had the iRobot and really liked it for carpet. This vacuum will go around and vacuum the carpet without getting stuck, but will still leave pet fur behind. I thought that it was doing a great job getting all of the dog fur since the bin was filling up, but my husband rubbed his foot along the top of the carpet after the robot had done its job, and there was still a lot of fur on the surface that I didnt see. I would recommend this vacuum to use when you dont have time to clean with a regular vacuum. It will get a lot of the stuff left on the floor, but you will need to vacuum with something that has greater suction to get a deep clean. If you dont have carpet, I think this vacuum would do an amazing job!

We have 3 cats who shed and track litter around like it’s their job. With a 5 month old who will soon be crawling, I desperately wanted something to help maintain the floors on a daily basis. This does a good job with and I’m glad I made the purchase. It certainly misses spots on occasion, and I still do a deep clean with our regular vacuum about once every two weeks. In my opinion this was worth the money to not have to deal with the headache of vacuuming every day. I also hate the feeling of things stuck to my feet and I can honestly say that it’s now a rare occasion that I feel any litter pebbles on my feet!

The vacuum does a good job sweeping up small debris and pet hair. It is not programmable to clean only certain areas and probably isn’t the best in terms of finding it’s way around tight areas. It frequently traps itself in the dining room under the chairs - finds its way in, but can’t find its way out. Transfers wells between hardwood flooring and area rugs. Battery strength is good for about an hour and a half -sufficient for the main level of our home which is 2000 sq ft. I probably will move this one upstairs and purchase a model with mapping features for the main level as there are areas such as the dining and living rooms which do not need daily or every other day vacuuming. It definitely sold me on the benefit of having a Roomba as I was vacuuming the primary living areas daily to mitigate accumulation of pet hair. I still use a regular vacuum for deeper cleaning but this serves the purpose for which it was purchased.

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.
