Recognizing that most homes have a combination of carpeting and bare floors, iRobot just launched its first 2-in-1 robot vacuum-and-mop combo in September, said WIlliams. The Roomba Combo j7+ offers all the same features as the j7+, including the iRobot’s Pet Owner Official Promise, but it also mops and vacuums bare floors at the same… Continue reading iRobot® Roomba® i1+ 1552 Wi-Fi Connected Self-Emptying Robot Vacuum, Ideal for Pet Hair, Carpets

If you think your robot vacuum isn’t working, the first thing I’d suggest you try is emptying the bin more regularly. If it’s dragging dust balls around your house instead of picking irobot vacuum cleaner them up, it probably just doesn’t have enough room in the bin. When I reviewed the Roomba S9+, I predicted… Continue reading iRobot® Roomba® i1+ 1552 Wi-Fi Connected Self-Emptying Robot Vacuum, Ideal for Pet Hair, Carpets

We’ve also tested some cheap bump bots that are slightly different from the standard-issue Eufy, including the Eureka Groove. That bot was basically fine, but it couldn’t match the agility of the Eufy model or the durability of the Roomba bots we’ve tested. We bought one of the Goovi models, and lo and behold, we… Continue reading iRobot® Roomba® i1+ 1552 Wi-Fi Connected Self-Emptying Robot Vacuum, Ideal for Pet Hair, Carpets

The Roomba 694 is the most current model with Wi-Fi (for on/off remote control through a smartphone app), but at times you might be able to find a more basic model, without Wi-Fi.

While it works best in small… Continue reading iRobot® Roomba® i1+ 1552 Wi-Fi Connected Self-Emptying Robot Vacuum, Ideal for Pet Hair, Carpets

Turn cleaning from something you do to something that happens around your life. To get the best of both robot worlds, there are bundles of vacuum and mopping robot devices that can talk to each other. Set the robot vacuum to remove all the dust and dirt , then a robot mop can shark cordless… Continue reading iRobot® Roomba® i1+ 1552 Wi-Fi Connected Self-Emptying Robot Vacuum, Ideal for Pet Hair, Carpets

Roomba models are the only robot vacuums that employ two brush rolls that rotate toward each other, an arrangement that works well on all surfaces but offers its biggest advantage over other robot vacuums’ brush rolls on rugs. In fact, the “brushes” on the i3 EVO are really rubber-nubbed extractors, which are particularly good at… Continue reading iRobot® Roomba® i1+ 1552 Wi-Fi Connected Self-Emptying Robot Vacuum, Ideal for Pet Hair, Carpets

The Roomba 694, like most affordable robots, is what we call a bump-and-run navigator. Basically, it bloops around semi-randomly until its battery runs low, and then it tries to get back to its dock before it completely runs out of juice (and doesn’t always succeed). It looks dumb, but it’s basically effective, especially in smaller… Continue reading iRobot® Roomba® i1+ 1552 Wi-Fi Connected Self-Emptying Robot Vacuum, Ideal for Pet Hair, Carpets
