Customer Ratings & Reviews

My first foray into the robot vaccuum market is iRobot's Roomba 890, and it is an excellent option for my home needs. Used mainly in the living room/dining room/kitchen area, the 890 is smaller than I expected and short enough to get underneath all of my furniture. On the hardwood and kitchen porcelain tile, it is somewhat louder than I had hoped, but on the area rug it is whisper quiet. Connecting with the recommended iRobot app is simple though spotty at times when encountering errors - I would have liked to have a separate remote to control the device, and other household users will have to manually press the "Clean" button on the Roomba at the charging station to get it going. I was, however, able to quickly connect it to Amazon's Alexa for voice activation, so if this is an option in your household, it is a definite plus. Once on the move, it does all the things you should expect: consistent, impressive dirt pickup; careful mobility near the staircase; impressive battery life and charge awareness; constant device state notification; and reliable self-returning. All the benefits of a robot vacuum are showcased in this little cleaning machine. The 890's dirt compartment filled up quite fast for me and required numerous stoppage and waste disposal notifications, which was a little bit of a turnoff - maybe it won't need as much attention after a more consistent cleaning schedule, but with a long-haired cat roaming my house, I expect my device will fill more quickly than a petless household. I was able to create a cleaning schedule for the device when I am not at home so it wouldn't be a distraction, and activating the Roomba away from home was a cinch, but I do worry about the quick waste fill during these away hours. That being said, the device is easy to clean and troubleshoot (the app also provides a short video for these tasks). The 890 is packed with an extra filter for future use and also a virtual wall device which I set up next to the cat's food area to avoid water or food bowl spillage. Despite a few minor issues, the Roomba 890 met all of my expectations. While easy to setup and forget, there is a slight, aesthetic joy in watching it perform its tasks (the future!). While it may note have the bells and whistles of some of the more expensive robot vacs, the Roomba 890 is a solid option and is highly recommended. Full disclosure, I was provided this item for my honest, unbiased review.

It's a great vaccum! It does all the work for me. 100% recommend.

Does a great job sweeping dirt and husky hair on hard wood floors

Good purchase. Reliable and easy to clean. App on phone makes it easy.

Love it, so nice not having to spend time vacuuming.

Great product Much better than last one I bought 4 years ago. LOVE MY ROMBA

The product is so much effective but the price is too much

Works great to pick up dog fur on a daily basis. Would recommend

For being a small vacuum that requires little effort this vacuum is awesome!

Just bought my first robot vaccum and it is pretty neat and works perfectly.

This robot vacuum is probably one of the better on the market, but not enough suction to clean my heavyweight carpets and fringed area rugs. This is more of a maintenance vac and definitely not a deep cleaner.

It's great for small areas. Gills up fast. Overall great price.

She’s wonderful although my little Boston doesn’t like her but we love het

The vacuum is very handy. It’s amazing how much dust and hair it picks up.

Didn’t know which model to procure. I bought the correct unit.

This is a great vacuum. We upgraded from the 690 and this one is awesome!

Great helper to suck up dirt and debri. Not a dyson but a great addition

It keeps my home maintained and tidy. It does a great job of picking up cat hair.

The “cleaning” aspect of this Rumba seems fine so far... They want you to Review items that you purchase before you really have any time to discover all the faults with it just to make them look good and to try to sell more product. RIGHT OFF THE TOP, it it nearly impossible to connect this thing with my WiFi. I have the best and latest WiFi equipment with Xfinity by Comcast. Amazingly FAST and reliable but Rumba will not connect with the new tech. I am very glad we got the lessor expensive one because all we wanted was a vaccine.

Vacuum works very well. Love the self charging feature. Easy to set up.
