The right amount of robot
Our floors are much cleaner now that we run this machine every few days. Because we have it, we are mindful of cords, cat toys and other items on the floor that could tangle it up, so its presence also kind of enforces a level of tidiness.This machine does not learn quickly, it is not using satellites and cameras to map the shifting topography of our home, and I am happy with that. What it does is wander from room to room in an apparently random fashion, and it always finds dirt. It eventually seems to go over the entire floor. We have two cats who find it loud and unpleasant, but also fascinating. They stalk it from covert locations, calculating the balance of the predator/prey relationship. Someday, they may attack it, but if that happens, I think the Roomba will survive.Cons:Somewhat loud - It is as loud as a normal vacuum cleanerNeeds supervision - It can't be left running home alone, because it gets stuck under furniture from time to time. It sometimes makes mistakes that could endanger its life. I block it from entering areas where it could fall off of a cliff, because in spite of the cliff detection feature, I think it might very well fall off a cliff if given the chance.Only one phone allowed - The phone app seems to allow for only one phone per user, so only one member of the household can command the vacuum from the phone app; not a big deal for me because I just push the button on the top of the Roomba and it takes off.Pros: It vacuums the house frequently. I am never going to do that.It has the work quality of maybe a ten year old who was asked to vacuum the house--but unlike a ten year old, it is persistent.The suction is good, it gets diirt out of deep rugs and it does well in the corners.It is able to get over thresholds and it is fine around our cat dishes- pushes them a little bit but then backs away.

Changed my life
The iRobot 675 has changed my life. I’m a mom to 4 young children living in a 1880 square foot house on a large wooded lot. My kids are outside A LOT and track in all kinds of dirt, mud, leaves, grass, etc. My husband, while I love him, is also kind of a mess and has a bad habit of not wiping his shoes and bringing in a ton of sawdust from his projects. On top of all of that, add in the fact that children under 7 really don’t know how to eat properly and drop about seven thousand crumbs per meal per child. Our floors, wood, tile, and carpet, have been a disaster for years.Enter the Roomba. I have been eyeing this little piece of wizardry for years and wondering if this could be the tool that could change my life. I swept and vacuumed (with a Dyson DC33) multiple times a day. I was constantly telling guests, “hey sorry about the floor but I think we’re just gross and I can never get on top of it”. Well, after finally biting the bullet I regret that I didn’t buy a Roomba years ago. I don’t have to apologize to guests and I can finally walk barefoot in my house without having 100 tiny crumbs attaching to the bottom of my feet. I love this thing more than I have ever loved any appliance or cleaning tool I have every owned.About half of our home is our 2 living areas, dining, kitchen, and mud room. The other half are 4 bedrooms and two bathrooms. I have a baby gate dividing the two halves which acts as a barrier that the Roomba can’t get through. I really like having that barrier and if I didn’t use that baby gate I probably would have gone with the 690 for the virtual wall but I don’t see a purpose for it for us. I run the Roomba every night in our living/eating/kitchen area after we pick up the toys and straighten up the house. This is like magic. I always WANT to have things picked up and put away but I didn’t always do that before the Roomba because we are TIRED. But I love running the Roomba so much that since we have owned this thing we have cleaned up every night since we have owned it. Magic. I run the Roomba in the bedroom/bathroom areas 2-3 times a week in our house. Our kids are a little afraid of it (I want them to be, I don’t want them to touch it, and I may have told them it will bite them) and it does make noise so between all of our napping and sleeping I don’t have as much time to run it back there. I don’t mind though, because the bedrooms do not get nearly as dirty as our living areas.The things I wish I would have known before purchasing:- It really does clean all of the floor. It picks everything up. The crumbs and leaves are gone. It doesn’t miss any part of the floor. I was afraid it would kind of get half of the floor and not the other half because it isn’t as intelligent as the higher trim lines of the Roomba. I was wrong. This thing is amazing. I heard from someone else that you shouldn’t watch the Roomba because it will just drive you crazy. This is totally true. I watch it and question every move it makes. Why did it roll right past that crumb? Why is it spending 20 minutes under that couch? Just don’t watch it! It so nice to lay in bed at night, tell it to clean from my smart phone, go to sleep, and wake up in the morning to spotless floors!- I have needed to clean out the dust bin after every cleaning. I read a lot of reviews that said once you get into the swing of things with your Roomba you only need to clean out the dust bin once or twice a week. That hasn’t been true for us. I’m telling you, we are gross. So if your kids are especially messy or you have really messy pets or track in a lot from being outside that might just be your reality. But that’s fine with me because emptying the dustbin is a lot easier than vacuuming my own floors!- It charges really quickly. I thought I’d be waiting half a day for a charge. Not so. Ours charges within an hour which is nice because I like to charge in between doing both halves of my house. With as dirty as our floors get I don’t think the Roomba could do the entire 1880 square feet on one charge.- Unless you really, really want the features the higher end Roombas provide you really shouldn’t look at this vacuum as a cheap item. The technology in this thing is awesome (or at least I think it is, I’m not really super techy). This is a great robot that does an amazing job and seems very durable.- It does make noise. My mother in law commented that she was surprised it made noise. It’s a vacuum.- It has changed my life. I am excited to clean my house. I am excited to pick up toys. Nothing has ever made me happier about cleaning. This thing is the real deal. I wake up to clean floors every morning and I didn’t do any of the work. Get yourself one.

Great Buy on Sale
The media could not be loaded. I found this robot on sale and used for 110$ and it was worth every penny. My dog and cat moderately shed their short hair and this robot sniffs out all of their hair and sucks it up so well. Pictured is what it sucked up in an hour in my recently cleaned house. It definitely does not replace a good weekly vacuum/sweep but during the week it helps pick up dust and hair off your floors in between then. Im very impressed at its ability to go over rugs and wires with no issues or without getting stuck. It is pretty loud, I recommend running it while you’re away and letting it do its thing. It does not map out your home (pro and con) so it randomly goes over areas. But if you leave it alone it usually gets just about everything before going home. Sometimes it plays stupid when you tell it go home and wanders, so manually having to carry it home at times deducts a star from this rating. Overall great buy, but I would not pay more than what I did for it.

It’s very loud but so worth it
Other reviewers have mentioned the noise and it’s true. Our first iRobot finally stopped working after 5 years and we grabbed this on sale. So far we are very happy with it minus the loudness of the unit. We don’t mind because we set it off when we aren’t home and it does such a better job than our previous one. Beefy, doesn’t get stuck under furniture, moves fast and the best part is starting it from our phone. It even sends a text when it’s completed the job each time.

Excelente producto
Es una maravilla cuando hay mascotas, limpia super bien y es muy cómoda y fácil su uso. El único pero que le pongo es que es ruidosa.

Awesome robot vacuum for starters
It is my first robot vacuum, so take that into consideration, it is finicky sometimes, meaning it there is no specific patterns where it goes, keeps bumping everything until it clears the way, I think it's 'face' got scratched all over within the first 3 weeks of usage, but that's pretty much all the downsides, it vacuums well, with a very good power, of course do not think that it can replace your thorough proper cleaning, but it definitely can prolong non-cleaning days by a week or two.To me personally, it is in top 5 purchases ever made, such a huge time saver, honestly, if you have a little baby, maybe a pet, work full time, just get the vacuum, you will not regret, my plan is to upgrade this one in a year or two, because now I am even lazy to clean it (i want to get one with a station) and later robot mop, what do you say, future is now

Love it!
Good to have but because it doesn’t remember floor plans it takes a long time to do one. Basically bumbles around until it no longer senses dirt, then quits. Works great, though. Really cleans the floors. Also a little bit loud for me but since I don’t have to do the work, I put up with it.

Cumple totalmente con su función
Un muy buen producto y se cumple la relación calidad-precio, su uso es bastante fácil ya que puedes controlarlo desde la misma aspiradora o desde la app, que obviamente la app contiene muchas mas funciones, configurarlo no fue nada del otro mundo y responde al momento, lo que si noté es que hay una ligera "falla" con los comandos de voz, al menos usando Google y es que la app de iRobot te permite darle un nombre a la aspiradora pero para poder controlarla mediante la voz, solamente responde si la llamas "Google" y no con el nombre que tu la hayas nombrado, de ahí en fuera no tengo ningún inconveniente con la app. Ahora pasando al tema de funcionamiento les comento que esta barredora cumple su función siempre y cuando le den el tiempo necesario para trabajar, los ciclos de trabajo van desde 15 min hasta 1 hr y media; si lo que quieres es una barrida rápida esta no es una opción ya que si se toma su tiempo para hacer si trabajo, a mi barredora le toma aprox 1 hr limpiar sala, comedor y cocina pero nosotros la dejamos trabajando mientras no estamos en casa, así cuando llegamos ya encontramos todo el piso limpio.

Great product and great vendor experience
I received my iRobot Roomba 692 robot earlier than expected and it's been operating daily without any problem. Great product and totally smooth vendor experience.
