Picked up the IRobot at Xmas and have been using it for 3+ months. Love the concept and it is a pretty cool gadget when it works as designed. We have “Ethel” (our IRobot nickname) work everyday and about half the time she doesn’t make it back to the base. Need to follow up with the iRobot team to see if there’s something we can do. All and all... pretty happy with the iRobot and pretty impressed with the amount of dog hair the device picks up.

I have debated for years whether or not to make a Roomba purchase. I decided to make the plunge and I am so glad I did! Now it's not perfect, it is too thick to get under my sofas or under my Kitchen cabinets but otherwise I have no complaints. It does a wonderful job under my beds! I never knew my wood floors and rugs were so dusty. When I clean it out after I use it, it is always full of dust. Best purchase of 2017 and I believe I will enjoy it for years to come!!! Would definitely purchase again!!

This vacuum does a great job but you will still need to check your floors every now and then. Because it doesn't do a 100% perfect job. Also don't forget to pick up ALL cords like chargers or even shoe laces before the roomba gets going, it WILL tangle!!!

The 690 is adequate with light cleaning but doesn’t necessarily reach all areas of an open floor. Still learning the limits and adjusting accordingly.

I bought this item on sale but its honestly one of the most useful products in my house that i would easily buy full price if I ever needed a new one. I live alone and my home lay out is simple, so clean up and scheduling is awesome. I set my roomba to vacuum while I'm at work and for the most part it will finish flawlessly (It has only gotten stuck 3 times in the entire time I've owned it) If you have tile floors or hard would i would highly recommend the roomba. Keep in mind that the more clutter you have on the floor the less optimal your experience will be. Up to this date i have no complaints.

I’ve had Roombas before but love the app feature for this one. You can start it through the app and get notifications as well. It lets me know that the job has been completed or that it needs assistance if it happens to get stuck on something. It even has a find feature!

Run it everyday with 2 dogs in the house a Newfoundland and a pitbull and it picks up almost all of the hair if we run it twice a days it takes care of it all. Very happy with the buy. Makes life a whole lot easier and cleaning it is easier than taking a vacuum apart

Very powerful, good cleaning. Downside that black lines on carpet it interprets as stairs and does not cross them, so be aware about that. Otherwise - very good vacuum

I own several Roombas, the original Discovery series, a 650 and Bravia and I like all of them. I planned to get a 2nd 600 model because I have several levels . 690 is very similar to 650 except 690 has WiFi and works via app And via Alexa. It's a good quality vac.

This machine does an excellent job on hardwood floors. I have 3 big areas to clean which it takes about 55 minutes to do, but when completed, the floor looks great. Nice time saver for me. I could not sweep it up and get the floor clean as this robot does. I just tell Google Home to ask Roomba to clean and 1 second later it starts to clean. I can also tell it to start cleaning when I'm away with my smart phone. Very cool. It docks itself when completed. Again, very cool. Strongly recommend this product if you have hardwoood floors. Just make sure you pick up clothes, etc first. Bill

I like it overall, it cleans and recharges itself, has some type of memory system but not too fancy, its good for during the week when your too busy to clean. I would suggest a 250 price tag for this item but good luck getting that deal.

I had always thought robotic vacuums were a waste of money until I received a video of my daughter's new Roomba 690. The same day I purchased the a Roomba 690 for myself. I am amazed at what a good job this vacuum does on both tile floors and carpet. The house feels so clean and the carpet looks like new!
I gave this vacuum 4 stars because I did not like cleaning the bristle brush. A few days after I purchased this vacuum I exchanged it for the 960 model which has rubber debris extractors. I am very happy with this model.

This vacuum is such a time saver! I was already interested in purchasing this item when I learned that one of my coworkers owned one. After getting her thoughts I went head and bought it and let me tell you this is the best purchase in a long time. Not only the device is smart enough to know where is going to clean but the scheduling future is amazing and it saved us so much time every weekend having to clean the house not to mention that it has helped my husband’s allergies tremendously. This is definitely a product that I would recommend.

Purchased based on. Hearing from a few friends that have them. Was pleasantly surprised at how well it moves around everything and gets edges I would recommend gettting the model with the virtual wall attachment esp if you want to keep it one room at a time. which mine does have. One note - it does have a little trouble getting over door thresholds from room to room. Oh and make sure any chords are out of the way or picked ,it has trouble with those too. Overall still like it a lot. Would highly recommend
