The Best Robot Vacuum We Tested Still Has an Impressive Cyber Week Deal at Amazon

Just the thought of maneuvering a heavy vacuum cleaner around the house is enough work. Robotic vacuum cleaners offer a hands-free approach to cleaning, allowing users to devote their time to something much more valuable: not cleaning.

PEOPLE tested more than 300 vacuum cleaners to find the best of each model, whether cordless, handheld or upright. However, their favorite robot vacuum was the iRobot Roomba 694, a smart robotic cleaner that happened to be on sale for $116 during Amazon’s Cyber ​​Week sale.

Testers praised its ability to thoroughly clean carpets and hard floors such as wood and tile, as well as its ability to “clean efficiently without supervision” in general.

“Our tester used the iRobot vacuum weekly for six months and continued to be impressed with its effectiveness at picking up dirt, debris, hair and more,” they explained. The same reviewer also noted that it was “impressive and disgusting how much dirt the vacuum lifted off their floors.”

The vacuum cleaner comes with a three-stage cleaning system and uses a sweeping brush to tackle corners and edges. There’s also an auto-adjusting cleaning head that detects different floor types, which then alerts its multi-surface brush rollers to pick up deep-seated dirt from carpets or those on the surface from hard floors. And when it reaches its 90-minute run time, the vacuum returns to its base to recharge.

The vacuum cleaner is also equipped with sensors that prevent it from falling off the edges and hitting the furniture. Although our testers noted minor sensory issues – mainly that it mistakes the edge of the carpet for something steeper – they assured us that it’s “fantastic at maneuvering around obstacles like chair legs and sofas”.

Another big advantage is its smart compatibility with the iRobot Home app and voice control via Alexa or Google Home, so you can schedule cleaning sessions or turn the vacuum cleaner on and off from anywhere.

“It took us less than five minutes to get this robot vacuum up and running right out of the box,” our testers raved. “This short period of time involved downloading an app and setting a vacuum cleaning schedule on our phones.”

Bottom Line: The iRobot Roomba 694 would make an impressive addition to any kitchen cabinet. Grab it while it’s still on sale on Amazon.
