From its companion app, you can move the robot around and view a live video stream of what’s happening inside your home. It also has longer battery life than most robot vacuums, cleaning for up to 170 minutes on a charge in our tests. For even greater convenience, Ecovacs makes an Auto-Empty Station (sold separately)… Continue reading iRobot Roomba® 694 Robot Vacuum

iRobot Roomba® j7 Series Robot Vacuums
It has three physical buttons on it — start, dock and spot — and it connects to Wi-Fi so you can control it via the iRobot app. Unfortunately, your $274 gets you the vacuum and its necessary parts only so you’ll have to pay up immediately when you need a replacement filter or brushes. When… Continue reading iRobot Roomba® j7 Series Robot Vacuums
Roomba® j9+ Robot Vacuum for Pet Hair & Dirt
One caveat is that the i3+ EVO’s mapping capabilities are limited to a single floor. Its more expensive siblings, on the other hand, can remember multiple floors, which is useful if you have a multi-level home. The Ecovacs Deebot X2 Omni and the Roborock S7 MaxV Ultra require less maintenance, but the Combo j7+ is… Continue reading Roomba® j9+ Robot Vacuum for Pet Hair & Dirt
Roomba ROBOTS: Your Guide to the World of Robotics
Beyond offering greater convenience than traditional models, they significantly limit your exposure to dust, a big plus if you suffer from allergies. As recently as a couple of years ago, it was difficult to find a sub-$1,000 self-emptying robot vacuum, but the price of these models has been decreasing.

iRobot Roomba Vacuum Cleaning Robots
The Shark RV765 is the updated version of the RV761 that we previously recommended. Like the Roomba 694, the Shark RV765 has a slightly different design and a longer run time than the RV761, but otherwise they’re the same vacuum. You can still find the RV761, but it’s a little difficult to do so now… Continue reading iRobot Roomba Vacuum Cleaning Robots

Lastly, it obsessed over an obstacle-free 4-square-foot area for 15 minutes straight. It’s got an average warranty, good customer service, and lots of replaceable parts.

Roomba® Robot Vacuums
I wish I could use it to check if I left the stove on, but the angle means you can only see knee-high. A good app has easy controls to stop and start your vacuum, scheduling options (including do not disturb-hours), plus good mapping features. My biggest frustration with apps is maps that are fiddly… Continue reading Roomba® Robot Vacuums
Roomba® Robot Vacuum Cleaners
When a cleaning cycle is complete, the robot vacuum returns to the charging base, and the secondary vacuum suctions out the dust bin and places the contents into a bag or separate dirt cup. A few other variables to consider are thresholds and flooring transitions. Most robot vacuums are designed to go over thresholds between… Continue reading Roomba® Robot Vacuum Cleaners
