Roomba 692 / 694 Robot Vacuum REVIEW

[@alexanderalvarado9675]

This is hands down the greatest review I have ever seen. The tests you run are incredibly creative! The crevice pickup test?? Amazing.

[@VacuumWars]

Wow, thanks!

[@tbsdrummer87]

What I love about the internet is there is always someone who knows their stuff even when it comes to vacuums

[@ai522]

A good thing to note is that third party rollers are significantly louder and less efficient than iRobot ones. I’m all for saving money, but I encountered this issue after installing the comb dust bin modification (10/10 highly recommend it). The bristle length is shorter so it wouldn’t make any contact with the comb. In addition to more tangled, this also results in poor cleaning for obvious reasons. Thanks for the review

[@GeneJ77]

I’m loving my iRobot Roomba 692. Just got mines yesterday at Best Buy. The only down thing about it is, if it’s to far from the charger station and you want it to go back to it. It’s hard to find it so you got to help it out. I still love it! Thanks for the great review

[@KyleKrueger]

You should preorder and review the new Wyze Cordless Vacuum! It looks like a great deal!

[@GlobexCorporationHank]

Vacuums your house while you watch TV or better yet when you are out. Come back to clean house. All for about $200. Priceless.

We agree!

[@ai522]

@@TheLaird47 I hope so too, and maybe that’s why it’s being delayed... We have allergies in our home and the combination of genuine ultra filters + the suction power is what makes it our go-to robot.

I swapped my "dumb" roomba 700 with lighthouses for an xiaomi mop pro. Overall with multiple rooms I am happy with the swap, I definitely prefer the smart nav, but on carpets the xiaomi is definitely much worse and has trouble cleaning it, even after repeated run. I agree with the author's conclusion. With one room or a simple layout and a large area of carpet the roomba may be a better choice. After time, I am starting to appreciate the great mechanics of the roomba in terms of cleaning efficiency. You just have to swallow the bitter pill of medieval navigation.

[@homehelpheart7440]

Thank you very much for this review! I previously knew little to nothing about Roombas other than they were very expensive. So, when I saw the 692 for a great price on Amazon Prime Day this year, I picked it up. Now I really regret it because it has very little in the way of virtual walls and no go spots. You actually have to buy another a piece of equipment which isn't cheap to create a virtual wall. Maybe this will eventually sell me on a more expensive model that I would have never considered before, just not sure yet. I have found the 692 to be very rough when it comes to crashing into things. It's very first run in my home broke a glass Candlestick I've had for over 35 years and took down each of my KZbin box lights twice. So finding out that creating no go spots or virtual walls it's impossible with this model without buying extra Hardware made me very disappointed with this model. Very glad to hear though that it is one of the more solid and long-lasting models!

In general, would you recommend Roombas over other brands for maintenence?

[@SvdT]

I would, I’ve got a Roomba E5 that is 2.5 years old. And I have a Ecovacs Deebot T8 AIVI for about 3 months now. Never had any problem with the E5 you can find original spareparts at the Irobot website and other places. Their customer service is great! The only downside I think are the rubber rollers that are doing a fantastic job though they don't go for that long and are pretty expensive imo. I'm trying to get original spare parts for my Deebot and it's a hassle, on the official website it's almost always out of stock and getting in touch with customer service is much harder than it should be. Beyond that the T8 is a great robot as well

[@jacobm3094]

@@SvdT Thanks for the reply! Still in the process of choosing, and this is a really good point!

[@AdriaOliSal]

I have a Roomba 530 from 2009 and it's still going strong. We've only had to change the batteries twice and the rollers, but they are super easy to find on Amazon and the machine itself still works really well!

[@VacuumWars]

So for this price range, a Roomba is a good choice. Run it frequently so that it isn't picking up sooo much hair all at once and clean the brushroll often.

[@Sculley100]

Such a helpful video. Thank you so much! We bought a 692 and then found your video. I appreciate learning that there's a difference between the smart vacuums and not smart vacuums. Overall, it's been pretty good but I do notice it does miss certain spots and areas (like the vestibule in front of the back door where it's needed). Which smart vacuum do you recommend?

What'd you suggest for Hard floors. In budget segment, or the best bang for buck product.

[@joshua01]

Probably roborock

[@VacuumWars]

Check the Favorite Robot Vacuums list in all the video descriptions. Right now the favorite budget is iRobot Roomba 675.

[@AJ-wg3kt]

It would be really great if you could (even briefly) review the noise of each robot. Our current roomba is so, so loud. I'm worried to buy another one because of this, but no one ever discussed the noise levels of the vacuums they review. :/

[@bobm1419]

Really like your channel. Have two questions that maybe you or someone could respond to -How this vacuum works in a multi-room house of 1000 square feet? Does it do a good job in all the rooms or does the battery run out and it never finishes the house? Thanks!!!

[@ManiacalMan]

Seems like the 692 is the one to go with; the 675 is the same price ($199 on Amazon) and the 694 is $20 more (but a 3 pack of filters costs $30). Do you have an opinion on the Deebot U2 Pro? It’s on sale at Costco now for $250 ($100 off). Should I get it over these roombas? I’ve got a 1BR apartment that’s pretty tidy to begin with but has kitty litter to pick up constantly and is split between hardwood and carpet. Thanks!

[@TheKenshinEmo]

I want to buy a Roomba with a 200-300$ price, this would be the model you'd advice to me ?

[@alisonmcgregor2002]

would it be a bad idea to buy a 690 in 2023? i’ve been thinking about what roomba i’d potentially want to get in the future. and i know i could just get the 692 or the 694, which are essentially almost the same thing as the 690, but i just really like the design of the 690 (it being silver and black, i mean. it looks really nice) but yeah. would that be stupid?

[@MrKlawUK]

although my old roomba 966 is good with hair around the rollers, it does seem to get a lot of hair around the axles/ends. Do you test for that at all? And do you measure threshold/step handling?

[@Lucario_Legend]

Can you do a review in the iRobot roomba 650!!

Have you ever tested if swapping the new bin on earlier models increases their suction power?

[@robovaccollector]

You mean the 600's AeroVac bin into 500's Vacuum bin? Yes, it fits, but suction power is the same. Only bin design is different. Other models have different designs of bins, so they are not changeable.

[@yenigq7963]

Is it dual voltage?

[@robovaccollector]

You didn't mentioned one thing, 690 came with virtuall wall, 675 and 694 does not, and 694 does not have handle. For me, who loves handles this is pretty painful, as you need to pick up the entire robot with 2 hands.

[@pigeonman7483]

Whats good for floor only no carpet??

[@Not.So.WiseGuy]

Have you thought of testing shop oriented vacuums like Makita's bot?

[@MrNicknayme]

Again a great review. I’ve been hanging on, trying to learn this whole world of robot vacuums. I’ve had my eyes on the ‘Ecovacs Deebot Ozmo T8 Aivi’ for some time, but I just don’t know. I’m ok with spending a little more but I don’t know if it’s worth it. Really, my biggest concerns are doorsteps and apps. Can any robot vacuum climb doorsteps? And who makes the best app? I hope you can point me in the right direction..

[@VacuumWars]

So the max climbing height for that T8 is 20 mm. Some companies will be clear about that, and some others don't say much about it. We keep track of it on our website and you can compare it against others too - www.vacuumwars.com/compare-ecovacs-deebot-ozmo-t8-aivi-with-auto-empty-bin-vacuum-cleaner As far as the app goes, we also track those features on the website too, when it's available. Those can also improve with updates over time. Sorry to just be plugging the site, but it will be a good starting point since you know some of what you are looking for.

[@MrNicknayme]

@@VacuumWars excellent, thanks a lot.

[@markfrancis905]

What's the best budget robo vac for mostly hardwood floors?

[@VacuumWars]

maybe try running it a little more frequently so the hair to dirt ratio changes a bit.

[@kickit246]

One thing I came here looking for is how loud is it? If I'm on my headset with my buddies, will it get in the way or be annoying? If I have a headache will it be an issue if it's in the same room with me? Etc. Edit: I'm also a complete newbie when it comes to roombas. Does it charge at its dock? Will it make it back to it ok without the battery dying? I wouldn't be able to lift it or move it, likely if it died in the hallway.

[@homehelpheart7440]

I've only used my 692 once thus far, but it did not listen when I asked it to return to base. I ended up having to pick it up and carry it back to where the base was. Not a great first experience!

[@gmonte00]

What's the difference with the 697? I can't find any information😭

[@nightknight9031]

iRobot is the best choice because it’s easy to repair. You can change every single part of Roomba and it has standard screws. Because Roomba is popular u can buy every single part easily and parts like brushes and filters are cheep.

[@VacuumWars]

This really is such a good perk.

[@aspecreviews]

The modular design also means it's moddable. Swapped out the little vacuum impeller in my 560 for a bigger one from an 880. More power, and it makes a cool whirring sound!

[@widgiebuds]

Thanks for all the videos! I've learned a lot about robot vacuums from them, but I'm wondering why no one has tested any models, especially any top of the line models like the S9+, on carpet deodorizer. I get that older models and a lot of affordable models would be overwhelmed by all of that fine powder, but is that equally true for the models that are scoring between 80 and 96 on your carpet deep cleaning test? Or does the problem have more to do with the powder "blinding" different sensors and clogging filters?

[@kevman949]

Got the 694 black friday for 179 off amazon. Works well, but it's very loud. That's the only real downside.

[@arevee9429]

Not to by a cynic, but . . . that's a boring robot. I use a Roomba at home. An i8 (Costco i7). It does fine, but I honestly don't think it cleaned any better than the cheapo Shark IQ that it replaced. And it never seems to fill the bag. Where on earth is all that dirt that I know is there going? With 2 shedding animals in the house, there is debris for certain.

[@HiCZoK]

I have 675 and it's ok. The brushy brush gets really destroyed and tangled though. And no navigation is annoying. I am looking to upgrade. Not sure roborock S7 vs i7

pretty much all Roombas are a ripoff here [as with anything with a prestige brand], it's ridiculous next to USA prices. I remember the predecessor to the 692 costing $50 more than the Roborock S5 I bought for $350aud in nov 2018, and thank god I did. Can't ever go back to the frustrations of dumb robovacs.

[@ai522]

Eh the newer Roborocks are solid but so many people had issues with models like their S6 and carpet. The brush roller would completely turn off. When contacting Roborock, their response was that it was a feature to protect the motor. Seems absurd considering a $50 robot vacuum can easily go on carpet. It’s unfortunate vacuum wars never shed light on this major issue. You can read a ton about it on the subreddit
