Roomba is an autonomous vacuum and one of the most popular consumer robots in existence. It navigates around clutter and under furniture cleaning your floors, and returns to its charging dock when finished.

It also has iRobot's intelligent navigation (but not floor mapping) that allows it to navigate under and around furniture and along floor edges.

You can actually use any Roomba by just pressing "Clean" on the robot versus using WiFi, and the Roomba 675 is a good entry-level model without a lot of advanced WiFi features. If you want to be totally unconnected, you could also select the Roomba 614 (no WiFi).

If you get a more affordable model, like Roomba 675 you can expect a lifespan of up to two years. Go to the higher-end, like the iRobot j7+, and our research and testing suggest you can get five years plus of cleaning with proper maintenance.

The iRobot® Difference

• Clean Base® Automatic Dirt Disposal.
• Imprint™ Technology.
• Dual Multi-Surface Rubber Brushes.
• vSLAM™ Technology.

Roomba cleans floors of all types (except deep pile and shag carpeting). Its short stature enables it to go under beds and other furniture and into corners, where traditional vacuums typically have difficulty. Its wall-hugging capability does an excellent job of sweeping along baseboards and into corners.

The quality of the Roomba 675 robot vacuum is similar to the other 600 Series models. There is no advanced camera navigation, like on the 900 Series models, but the features that are included are built at the same quality that you can expect from other models in the lineup.

Can I Use a Roomba Without WiFi? Yes, it will still clean your home. “The Roomba is very simple,” says Frank Rizzi, a Consumer Reports senior test technician.

Most owners believe that running their robot vacuums four times per week is sufficient to keep the floors dust-free. However, if you have children or pets, you should use your robot vacuum more frequently. Daily vacuuming is recommended if you suffer from seasonal allergies.

Best iRobot vacuum overall The iRobot Roomba j7+ is my pick for the best overall iRobot vacuum. With its PrecisionVision Navigation, the j7+ beautifully navigates your home without vacuuming up cords, shoes, and other common household objects.

And dust Roomba is the perfect fit for the real world it cleans. The whole floor. Including under and around furniture.

This high-end robot vacuum has the most powerful suction motor in iRobot's lineup, and it delivers good debris-pickup performance on both bare floors and carpeting. Its twin rubber brushrolls are great for dealing with pet hair, and since they don't have any bristles that can trap debris, they're easy to clean.

Robotic vacuums have built-in sensors that can detect what areas of your home need extra work, and they'll make extra passes over the area. High traffic areas like hallways, entryways, mudrooms, and playrooms will get the extra attention they need to keep them clean.

Advantages of robots

• Robots can offer increased productivity, efficiency, quality, and consistency.
• Robots can't get bored with their job.
• Until they switch off, they can repeat the same task continuously.
• Robots can be very accurate than humans, that's why robots are used in the manufacturing of microelectronics.

Ideally, the vacuum's AI would automatically avoid taking pictures of humans. But to do that, iRobot first needs to use pictures of people to teach the AI what a human looks like. In other words, Roombas are sharing pictures of people to prevent Roombas from sharing pictures of people.
