iRobot Roomba 690 Review: Solid Performer

The iRobot Roomba 690 is a very good robot vacuum for the price. We loved how easily it maneuvered in tight areas, it had stellar performance picking up cereal and kitty litter, and its accompanying app is very easy to use.

Affordable ; Easy-to-use app ; Maneuvers well in tight spaces

Somewhat loud ; Dustbin too easy to remove

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.
