Amazing review. Specially the table of content to jump to the different parts of the video . Never seen it before and it should be a must on every video.

Modern Castle Is it worth to buy the 960 or 690 I have a house that is about 1000sq feet and it is 75% hard floor and one medium sized dog.(If you want say other models)
@@Kostas.-. The 960 is definitely a big upgrade over the 690, especially for large and complex floor plans. However, the 690 is more than capable of handling 1,000 sq. ft. What I would suggest is get the 690, use it for a while and see how it's performing. If you find it's a little lacking on your hard floors then add the Braava Jet 240, Roomba's mopping robot. The 690 + 240 combination would be less expensive than the 960, but still offer better cleaning performance in your particular case. You can find Braava 240 here - amzn.to/2Smn8Kt
@SPEED DOMN8TORS GENERAL AUTOMOTIVE If money is no object, go with the Roomba S9+ - amzn.to/2QCkzSU If you want to save a little bit and self emptying dust bin isn't as important then go with the S9 - amzn.to/2OBtioD or i7 - amzn.to/3762qni They have the same cleaning performance, navigation, and features, only lacking the self emptying dust bin.
I'd give it a 7 out of 10. It's only when you get into the $500+ range that robots start to get consistently better scoring more like 9/10 and 10/10 in their ability to consistently return to the charger.
Thanks for the video bro thinking of getting a roomba although prices are a bit higher up here ($100 for the 675 wifi vs. 614 Non wifi model is rather steep)
To sum up the 600 vs. 800 differences... 800 has more suction power, dual rubberized brushroll, and better navigation. We compare the 690 vs 890 in-depth here - moderncastle.com/vacuum-cleaner-reviews/roomba-690-vs-890/ - if you want even more info.
@@valueStocks We haven't done any in-depth comparisons to the 700 series, as they seem to be mostly discontinued. But at a high level, yes, the 600 series seems to have largely replaced the 700 as the value positioned Roomba. Many of the features and performance are similar (with some variance depending on the exact model).
@@Chriselchingon23 It floats between $200 and $270. The cheapest I've seen it at is $170. So it's already at the low end. It might get back to $170, but probably not before a major sales holiday.
Great review, just ordered the 690, or 696.....I think it's the same but a, different name for Europe? Not sure but it has the exclusion zone unit. A question for you. Will it travel between different rooms all on the same level or might it need a helping hand? I'm not sure if we should close doors and take it to the other room when one is finished or let it just do its thing?....... Also, just subscribed!!
You are correct. There are a bunch of versions of the Roomba 690 around the world (and even multiple in the US). I'm fairly sure the 696 is one of those versions. And yes, it will travel by itself between rooms. You shouldn't need to move it. Just give it time to figure out your floor plan. Thanks for subscribing and welcome!
@@brianmsahin You're very welcome! And thanks very much. Beginning next week I am hoping to get us back on a 1 new video per week schedule. So look for that! :)
4:28 "....Removing 99% of "SUGAR" - He meant "Cereal" but was thinking about "Sugar" subconsciously from knowing that's the main point he's getting to. :)
Sorry for the confusion. That's just a stock graphic we found that iRobot.com created. It is not reflective of what is actually included in the purchase.
Does the 675 resume at the spot where it left off if it gets interupted for any reason, like having to recharge or if it gets stuck? If not, which model have this feature?
I don't believe it will, no. For that you would need a model with better digital mapping and/or recharge and resume. Those features are available with Roomba's 900 series, i series, and s series.
We had the same concern, but at least in our case, 90 minutes is a lot of time and usually ours goes thru the entire floor area within those 90 mins. I have seen that the 7i and the 9 series do have that ferure
Amazing review. Specially the table of content to jump to the different parts of the video . Never seen it before and it should be a must on every video.
That's great feedback. Thank you! I wasn't sure if people were liking it or not.
I'll be sure to continue to include them!
for real!
Fantastic comparison, this young man should be on television comparing many products. Excellent job!
You're too kind, Chuck. Thanks so much!
Maybe one day we can get to a point where we have a daily TH-cam show :)

What about dog hair
Compared to the Shark AV751 how do they compare?
Great video thanks for the table of contents
You're welcome!
Hi Derek Hales
Is the roomba 670 same as the 675?
Yes
Just possibly different accessories / colors.
@@ModernCastle cool cool thank you.
@@EddieSpaghetti07 You're welcome
Hi, what's the difference between the roomba 675 and the roomba 692? Thank you
Nothing. 692 has a different face plate. 692 is a special SKU for Amazon.
Full review here - moderncastle.com/roomba-692-review/
If I choose the 675 can a virtual wall barrier be purchased separately (and subsequently used with the 675)?
Yes. You can buy them here - amzn.to/3l8sG7p
How good is the 675 at returning to it's charger?
I'd give it a 7 out of 10.
It's only when you get into the $500+ range that robots start to get consistently better scoring more like 9/10 and 10/10 in their ability to consistently return to the charger.
its lovely
Good Video! I like it 👍🏻
Thank you!

Maybe they'll come down around the holidays.
great vid - thanks.
What is the suction power in " Pa" for the 690? if you happen to know approx that is. thx
Thank you!
Unfortunately, iRobot does not disclosure their suction power.
I have a 700 series and always wanted to know the difference between it and the 600 and 800 series.
To sum up the 600 vs. 800 differences...
800 has more suction power, dual rubberized brushroll, and better navigation.

Thanks for review! Are 675 battery and replacement brushes combatible with 697? Thanks in advance!
You're welcome.
In general, yes. But double check with the battery manufacturer.
@@ModernCastle Thanks man!
@@goranmikac417 You're welcome!
Virtual wall can be recommended for my Roomba 675
You can buy here - amzn.to/3qSzERb
Can I use my old style virtual wall with the Roombas?
Yes
Derek Hales 😍😍😍
Is the 690 same as 692
Yes
692 is just an exclusive SKU for Amazon, but it's exactly the same as the 690
I got the 675 for two hundred bucks what do you think good deal?
Yeah, that's a solid deal for the 675
@@ModernCastle how much is it normally? It's on sale rn on Amazon. For 200

@@ModernCastle Appreciate it! This will be my first roomba you think it's a good choice? I don't have a big living room.
@@Chriselchingon23 I think so.
For the price, it really is hard to beat. Especially if you have a smaller floor plan this is a great model.

how loud were they? I'm interested in buying one but worried about their volume.
68 dB at on carpet at 3' away

Thanks for the catch! You are correct.
Can you get the virtual wall separate order for the 675?
I just bought a 675 to see if it works and if it does I’ll upgrade.
Yes, I believe you can add the virtual wall to the 675 (basically giving you a 690).
You say it includes two filters, but your graphic shows three filters.
Sorry for the confusion. That's just a stock graphic we found that iRobot.com created. It is not reflective of what is actually included in the purchase.

See our article and vide on the best Roomba for pets here - moderncastle.com/best-roomba-for-pet-hair/
How you going to do a comparison review when you only got the one
Because there is functionally virtually no difference between the hardware and software in these models.
So color lol.
Essentially
you are sooo different
Aren't we all?
Yep
