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

But I don’t think it was worth the cost. It did Pick up dirt but the compartment for dirt was to small and there was no self clean.

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 :-(

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.

Better off splurging for the higher end model with camera. Dont let the price hold you back; buy a returned one or use Affirm!

Works okay after awhile doesn’t pick up as well if not programmed runs into the furniture wouldn’t purchase again

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.

ok so if i really don’t care what it picks up it’s fine (i have animals so if the goal is to just pick up the excess hair) but if i have something i want it to vacuum it’s so freaking annoying it drives me crazy. with its “adaptive” cleaning pattern it may go over a mess one time bump into the wall and then run away to the other room and never come back before it says the job is “complete”. IT DRIVES ME INSANE. i literally have to babysit this thing whenever it’s running to make sure it actually picks everything up like it obviously helps me more then myself going around the house and vacuuming everyday but dang for this price you would hope it would be just a tad bit smarter. if you can afford it spring for one of the models with the “neat row” cleaning style so then when it hits something it doesn’t just RUN AWAY. the other thing it does is it may take the whole 90 minute charge to sweep my house and STILL miss the mess. like i don’t have time to do this cleaning so i am grateful for the device but i could literally sweep my whole house accurately in a third of the time.

Purchased to clean on wooden floor. I am amazed by how well it cleans the finest of dust. Wonder what took me so long to purchase it. Best buck for money. If you need a neat place, this is your best bet. DEFINITELY RECOMMENDED!

A bit of context. Ive owned 3 different Neato Robotics models for over 6 years and had a brief flirtation with Eufy RoboVac 11. I stopped buying from Neato because theyre incapable of building one that can take a 5 day per week schedule for more than 2 years before failure. The Eufy seemed like a cheap toy, lacking important features and destined to fail. I returned it after running it twice. The Roomba 692 is every bit as stupid as the Eufy. It uses the same random bounce method of navigation where it staggers about like a drunken sailor bouncing off obstacles and getting stuck in the same places over and over until you physically block access or move the bot. It has no barrier system to prevent it from getting into places it shouldnt. It does no mapping of the room and cant be told not to get lost under the bed indefinitely. It flatly refuses to vacuum our area rugs. The rugs are a light gray on a dark brown floor and they trigger the drop sensors causing the bot to avoid them. If you block off everything but the main living space it will do a halfway decent job. My wife hates the pieces of wood I use to prevent it from going to areas it cant navigate. If the bedroom doors are left open it will invariably run out of battery before it locates the base again. This leads to really annoying games of hide and seek with a dead bot that cant play the find me sound anymore. Where did it get lost this time? Under the sofa? Behind the curtains? Under a dresser? Did it lock itself in the closet again? Hey, Roomba! Its 2021, you dont have to stay in the closet anymore! Ive had it for about a week. Im having a tough time deciding if I should just return it and pay the premium for another bot that can navigate properly or just resign myself to the fact that there are no good vacuum bots to be had for $200 or less. Prime Day saving brought this down to that point. But I really dont want to spend a lot of my time babysitting a hopelessly brain-dead bot.

I live in a small two bedroom house and run this little guy daily. It does a 5 star vacuum the first time it’s used after replacing the rotor and/or taking 30 minutes to clean the parts. After one or two vacuums (1400 sq feet), the performance is noticeably worse.
