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.

Works great! Little louder than I expected, but not a bother.
I love the simplicity of setup! Easy to hook up home base and connect to the irobot app.Product packaging states run time is 2 hours, but I’ve had this thing run for nearly 3 hours before it died. Purely by accident, but definitely exceeded battery life.It’s a little louder than I expected, nothing crazy or unmanageable, just slightly annoying when I realize it’s going.The first time it runs it essentially “maps” the area and does a pretty decent job remembering thereafter. One thing I have noticed is it tends to vacuum the same downstairs livingroom repetitively even though there’s another living space adjacent to it. Both spaces are connected and completely open with nothing barring it’s entry. So, once in a while I’ll redirect it or just pick it up and move it to the other room.Easy to clean, canister is small but holds quite a bit. Push the button to release, dump it out, return. It’s great at picking up hair (human), I have a dog but he doesn’t shed so I’m not sure about how well it works for pets. It does however do pretty great with corners.I would recommend it for elderly people who have a hard time vacuuming, but i would suggest setting a timer for the middle of the night as well as maybe putting a light on it for trip hazard.Returns to home base with ease and allows you to set timers for run times as well as additional setting/cleaning options within the app. You can also purchase all of the replacement parts through the irobot app which is incredibly convenient!I wish this.model had the ability for the user to “map” the areas so I could keep it away from my christmas tree skirts, but I just block them off now that the holidays are here.For being autonomous and small, it packs a punch.

Works Ok but need to be programed.
It’s a good robo vacuum but needs to be programed. It sometimes acts dummy and stays in one place for a long time and keep rotating like crazy. It doesn’t follow a good pattern. It keeps getting stuck in one place. It’s better to download the app and program the darn thing. LOL

Great entry level robot vacuum
Our normal vacuum broke and I decided to try a robotic one this time around.Didn’t want to spend too much but I knew I wanted a name brand one so I bought this little Roomba 692 and it’s great!Unlike more expensive ones, this one doesn’t do any sort of mapping of your home, so it sorta just aimlessly bumps around until it runs out of battery at which point it returns to its docking station. That said, this is a perfectly good approach in our single story home and across two cleaning cycles gets pretty much everything.I was worried it wouldn’t be very strong due to the price but the suction and overall vacuuming ability of this little guy is definitely top notch!It got stuck in the closet once but after blocking that off so it wouldn’t go in there again I had no issues. Our floors are a mixture of carpet and hard vinyl or something. It has no trouble going over cords without getting stuck and doesn’t get stuck on the transition from the vinyl flooring in the kitchen to the bump onto the carpet which is nice.Be sure to empty it after each run as it does pick up a lot of dirt and dust – it’s pretty much full in just a single battery charge.Build quality seems good and it seems like it will last a long time. I couldn’t be any happier with this purchase!

I have always hated vacuuming and this little robot is my friend!
Love this little vac ! Vacuuming has always been my least favorite household chore & this little robot is a big help. It does need occasional help when it gets stuck under a cabinet or on some cords, but overall is one of the best appliances I have ever owned. Easy to empty and clean. Parts are easy to replace. I only wish I had gotten one sooner!!

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.

Hello; I waited just over 6 months to write a review as I bought one 10 years ago and wanted to compare results, I must say after 6+ months I’m still very happy with IRobot Roomba, my old one doesn’t have Wifi and I barely use the Wifi on this one. In my opinion it does a very good job of vacuuming carpets, ceramics, wood floors, what I miss is my older one has handle that I can grab to carry it to change locations, this one doesn’t. No one can guarantee you how long a product like this will last yet I have had my older one over 10 yrs, cleaning it is simple quick & easy and a must, I had bought a competitors and wasn’t pleased with it at all due to poor suction, yet Irobot I’m very satisfied with this product & model.

The manual is too generic and when you use the app there arenât enough details in the manual to help. There was supposed to be a card in the package with details but was missing.In terms of cleaning itâs functional but not good with small spaces and sometimes goes around in circles ignoring parts of the room. So clearly not good at learning

Aspira muy bien, y para ser un robot reactivo (no crea mapas como otros robots) hace muy bien el trabajo. Entre las cosas que no me gustan, es que algunas veces cuando no puede dar vuelta dispara un error como si se hubiera atorado una rueda (lo cual ocurre muy comÃºnmente) y basta con dar la instrucciÃ³n de continuar para que rectifique la ruta, pero si no estÃ¡s en casa o no has visto el mensaje en la app puede quedar inconcluso el trabajo.
