iRobot Roomba 690 Wi-Fi Connected Robot Vacuum R690020

The Roomba 690 is a great option if you don’t mind not having the premium features found in the Roomba 960 and 980. If you’re thinking of buying an entry-level Roomba, the 690 is a no-brainer choice. Though it is a notch below the Roomba 800 series, it still performs well considering its age.

  Random cleaning pattern is not the most efficient, Short warranty, Taller than the ILIFE robot so it may not fit under as many furnitures

The iRobot Roomba 690 is a solid, affordable connected robot vacuum, but it isn't the best for homes with pets. Those buyers should consider the Shark Ion instead.

I'm a skeptical person, so I didn't think I'd ever buy a robot vacuum. Everything changed after I adopted a Great Pyrenees mix. This dog is the sweetest, but she is also the size of a polar bear cub and hair flies EVERYWHERE whenever she so much as shakes her head. The hair clumps were everywhere.

I researched and researched and found this was the best Roomba to start with if you were getting a robot vac. The novelty has worn off really quickly. The cleaning job it does isn’t impressive, it’s rather noisy and I can’t leave it to do a job and not be around because it seems to get stuck, often.

  Cleans Effectively, Cleans Under Furniture, Easy To Use, Long Run Time

I’ve had “Ruby” for less than a week and we’re still getting to know each other- but so far she’s great. She transitions from hardwood to area rugs easily. A floppy throw rug will try to roll up though. She can’t quite finish my 2200 sq feet before she runs out of steam and takes herself back home.

Honestly I am in love with Roomba and even a bit obsessed. The amount of dirt it picks up off the carpet is crazy. I thought the carpet was clean and then I put "Susan" to work. She picked up dirt I could not even see not to mention she is now cleaning in areas that I never did like under the bed.

I was lucky to buy my Roomba at a great sale price. For first day I couldn’t connect with my iPhone, but after one day no complaining! It works at my apartment perfectly! No problem with hard floor, carpet and even bath rug. Leading this device by phone is a big fun.

I bought 3 of these, one for myself & 2 for my grown boys/family We all love so much, run it everyday...it’s like a microwave, you wonder how you ever got along without it... It does get hung up under one recliner so I put a throw pillow in front where it gets hung up, problem solved It’s sensors...
