So i bought this vaccuum, after researching alot about robot vacuums on the internet. Since i didn't want to spend the money to get the more advanced ones, i bought this one. The questions i had before buying this were: 1. Is this robot as good as the ones that creates a "map" of its enviroment? 2. How much noise does it make? Okay. so. This robot does not create a map of its enviroment, it goes in a more random pattern. That being said. The algorithm that they made, makes this robot function quite well. Although it does run over the same spots multiple times, it actually manages to clean my entire appartment without any problems in around 30-45 minutes. That being said. I dont run it for the full 30-45 minutes. Instead, 3 times a week, when i am walking my dog for around 15-20 minutes, i let it run while im not home.. with this schedule, my appartment is always clean. Now, the noise it makes, in my opinion is mid tier. Its not as loud as an actual manual vacuum cleaner, but its also not as quiet as i thought. But as i said, i only run this when im not home, so i don't notice it anyway. Also, i want to mention that when its running, you can't really hear it, standing outside the appartment, so its most likely not going to annoy your neighbours. The last thing i want to mention, is that its brush will quite easily get clogged up, if you leave something on the floor. I have had my vacuum stop cleaning, due to a sock being stuck in the brush a couple of times. Also, today, somehow, my earphones had fallen to the floor, which got tangled in the brush aswell. This is all user error of course, and its VERY easy to clean the brush.. you just need to flip the vacuum over, and press 2 buttons, this will make you able to easily pop out the brush, and untangle whatever is tangled in it. Overall, i would recommend this vacuum! It deff. does the job, and the maintenance is very very easy. Just make sure that you don't have stuff laying on the floor. Another benefit of this vacuum, is that it has a HEPA filter, which you are supposed to replace every 6 months or so. These are very cheap, and this filter basically means that whatever air it sucks in, gets purified of possible pollen/microbes/whatever. So while your floor is clean, the indoor air also gets better. I'm very satisfied with my purchase. as long as this machine works, i never have to vacuum.

I originally bought the Roomba j7 back in 2021, with all the bells and whistles (self-emptying bin and everything) as a Christmas present for my parents. We ended up returning it a week or so later because I think it was a bit over our heads at the time, and there was a lot going on with it that I wasn't sure about regarding the maintenance of it and stuff. Bought this one just yesterday on Amazon and getting it this weekend. I want to give Roomba another chance, because it's a great idea in concept. I think this will be a nice starter unit and a lot easier to figure out/maintain. ;o

Thanks so much for this!

Great Review !

Great video thanks!

It would be interesting to see an agitation comparison between the all rubber brushes and this. Of course the all rubber won't get as tangled, but does it get as deep into the fibers?

Can you also do a video of a Roomba i1 or a i1+ after if you do a video of a braava jet 240?

Thanks for this! I just tried my 694 for the first time and already love it. Just one question, which the useless manual doesn’t cover 😂: how do I put it in spot cleaning mode? Thanks.

Man, thank you for this. The included documentation was lacking at best. Once I put it in pairing mode I was finally able to connect the unit to my wifi...oddly enough, those instructions aren't included in the quick set up instructions

I like the speed an voice volume of the guy. Finaly not some old dude with too low tension

I would have been nice to know if it handles the invisible wall, great job on the video

I like your video but it did not help me.I have a roomba model 692 that keep saying error 2,I replaced new brushes opened the gear box which was clean but still error 2.any ideas?

Is there a way to run it without adding an app or wifi. I need something for my grandfather who doesn't have those. Just need something to turn off and on manually ...in other words easy. Any recommendations? thanks

My wifi is a 5gh network, the iRobot app says it will only run on 2.4gh, how do I change either to accommodate my iroomba

I have a larger home with lots of rooms and it doesn’t seem to leave the room where the base station is. How do I get it to learn the whole house?

Can you do mapping with it? Like other roombas.

Is the smartphone compatibility optional for the Roomba?

I got a Robot Roomba Clean Base that is suppose to be compatible to the iRobot Roomba 694 but can not get it to work with it ...what am i doing wrong ???

What does the thing on top of the bumper do

Does it have mapping technology? Like can i map out my house and create boundaries.

Se supone que debe conectarse a wifi y según no encuentra mi robot, ya lo intenté muchas veces y no pasa nada, que es lo que está pasando?

What are the other models with mapping that you think are better for a similar price?

I just activate mine today! What I dot not like about this one is there is no handle to pick it up and it is heavier than my previous one 😢😅

is there ANY difference between this and the 692?

what if you don't use wifi nor use smart phones? where is the remote like the 761 series?

Having trouble to schedule a job with specific cleaning time length? How do I tell Roomba to go back to home base after certain time period? When does Roomba go back home base? We are at 100mins now and it's still going unless we send it back home 😥

How do I know if it is charging because I just got this and

How can you know if the vac covered every spot in a room?

Very likable young men. Thanks for the review.

I have the 694, for some reason, the Siri shortcut doesn't work for me :/

how do i stop it and have it return to the charger? I could not do it with the app

I just got mine and it keeps giving me error 9 even though I’ve checked the bumper

Can this be used if you don’t have wifi?

17:09 rumba says “touch rumba”. What does that mean?

Shows battery charging, then no lights on charger and vac?

How to make map on the app, its doesn't show any mao on my app?

I have the 694 but no map option like your app has

Seems like a waste if it's going to be random and miss a lot of areas. If I have to go clean what it didn't that seems redundant.

So no mapping?

I got an 621 and tried to Connect it to app 😂

What’s the name of the app, you never even mentioned it…

Roomba attempts suicide 8:56

Shhhh why are you screaming lol

You speak too fast

Why are you shouting

not as easy to set up as you show. the app was horrible !
