Automatically returns to charging station to recharge and continue its work.Maintenance is easy for this vacuum, and it’s nice to play on the floor with my son without getting covered in dog hair and crumbs. – Kimberly A., Writer/Researcher Pros It has a 0.82-liter dust bin, so it can typically vacuum an entire level of my home without needing emptying.
This is so convenient and takes a chore off my to-do list. I also take it to other levels in my home (with the base station) to vacuum them as well. I have it set to vacuum the entire main level of my home a few times a week. I have a hound mix who sheds and a young son who loves to drop crumbs everywhere, so this vacuum has been life-changing. This was the first robot vacuum I purchased for my home, and I absolutely love it. Overall, we found relatively low customer feedback on this vacuum, but there were still a good number of positive reviews, which is why it is our #1 pick for best robot vacuum cleaner and best robot vacuum for pet hair. You can schedule cleanings from the iRobot HOME mobile app, or if you make plans at work for friends to come over, you can turn the vacuum on last minute. This version can run for about 75 minutes, and when it needs a charge, it returns to the charging station then resumes cleaning. The Roomba 960 is perfectly round and has an arm that swings out to sweep dirt into the Roomba’s path. However, the hefty price tag is why we still think the Roomba 960 model is a solid option and our top pick (and is still night and day difference from its former self). The latest and greatest model the Roomba i7+ is a far cry from the original model with self-cleaning capabilities and improved navigation. If you remember the first Roomba, you will be happy to know that the Roomba has come a long way. We also added in Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant connectivity in this updated review so you can make the “smarter” choice. Note: We considered 90 minutes or more an excellent amount of time for a vacbot to run on a single charge (pro).
Do you think vacuuming sucks (literally and figuratively)? Then don’t do it yourself anymore! A robot vacuum can do all your floor cleaning with the press of a button.
