This is hands down the greatest review I have ever seen. The tests you run are incredibly creative! The crevice pickup test?? Amazing.
Wow, thanks!
What I love about the internet is there is always someone who knows their stuff even when it comes to vacuums
I’m loving my iRobot Roomba 692. Just got mines yesterday at Best Buy. The only down thing about it is, if it’s to far from the charger station and you want it to go back to it. It’s hard to find it so you got to help it out. I still love it! Thanks for the great review
A good thing to note is that third party rollers are significantly louder and less efficient than iRobot ones. I’m all for saving money, but I encountered this issue after installing the comb dust bin modification (10/10 highly recommend it). The bristle length is shorter so it wouldn’t make any contact with the comb. In addition to more tangled, this also results in poor cleaning for obvious reasons. Thanks for the review
Thank you. Your review did answer my question
Thank you very much for the channel, I really appreciate all the work. You mentioned longevity, my Neato XV-21 is still going strong at about 9 years...
D3 owner and have it going strong. It’s gotten to the point where it can cover 1200+ sq. feet without getting stuck. Can’t wait to get the D10
@@ai522 Nice, I REALLY hope Neato comes out with an emptying base station...
@@TheLaird47 I hope so too, and maybe that’s why it’s being delayed... We have allergies in our home and the combination of genuine ultra filters + the suction power is what makes it our go-to robot.
These reviews are great. Even after I made my decision on a irobot I still like to watch them
This saved me from a bad purchase, and brought me to a good one haha, thank you for your thorough reviews! Your videos are awesome!
Thank you! Hope you enjoy it!
Thank you very much for this review! I previously knew little to nothing about Roombas other than they were very expensive. So, when I saw the 692 for a great price on Amazon Prime Day this year, I picked it up. Now I really regret it because it has very little in the way of virtual walls and no go spots. You actually have to buy another a piece of equipment which isn't cheap to create a virtual wall. Maybe this will eventually sell me on a more expensive model that I would have never considered before, just not sure yet. I have found the 692 to be very rough when it comes to crashing into things. It's very first run in my home broke a glass Candlestick I've had for over 35 years and took down each of my TH-cam box lights twice. So finding out that creating no go spots or virtual walls it's impossible with this model without buying extra Hardware made me very disappointed with this model. Very glad to hear though that it is one of the more solid and long-lasting models!
You should preorder and review the new Wyze Cordless Vacuum! It looks like a great deal!
Such a helpful video. Thank you so much! We bought a 692 and then found your video. I appreciate learning that there's a difference between the smart vacuums and not smart vacuums. Overall, it's been pretty good but I do notice it does miss certain spots and areas (like the vestibule in front of the back door where it's needed). Which smart vacuum do you recommend?
Great Video! Could you do a video on the Pro-team Gen 12? I'm a school custodian and we are supposed to be switching to them soon. Thanks!
Thanks for the review
I have always wondered what a bobsweep robot vacuum would stack up to the competition however I don’t have the facilities to test said product. If you ever decide to test one would you show how it stacks up?
although my old roomba 966 is good with hair around the rollers, it does seem to get a lot of hair around the axles/ends. Do you test for that at all? And do you measure threshold/step handling?
Hi! What do you think about the shark ai RV2001WD vacmop pro? I couldn’t find a video of that product and it would really help me. Thank you!!
Awesome review! Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
These are a steal on Amazon Returns. I got an 'acceptable' return for $83 then the prices fell to $73 and I bought them as gifts. When I just now checked again they're at $64.
Just ordered mine today, I hope it's not a 🍋🤪🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞
I swapped my "dumb" roomba 700 with lighthouses for an xiaomi mop pro. Overall with multiple rooms I am happy with the swap, I definitely prefer the smart nav, but on carpets the xiaomi is definitely much worse and has trouble cleaning it, even after repeated run. I agree with the author's conclusion. With one room or a simple layout and a large area of carpet the roomba may be a better choice.
After time, I am starting to appreciate the great mechanics of the roomba in terms of cleaning efficiency. You just have to swallow the bitter pill of medieval navigation.
Seems like the 692 is the one to go with; the 675 is the same price ($199 on Amazon) and the 694 is $20 more (but a 3 pack of filters costs $30).
Do you have an opinion on the Deebot U2 Pro? It’s on sale at Costco now for $250 ($100 off). Should I get it over these roombas? I’ve got a 1BR apartment that’s pretty tidy to begin with but has kitty litter to pick up constantly and is split between hardwood and carpet.
Thanks!
Please review the iRobot H1 handheld vacuum whenever you get a chance!
I have one Roomba 694 at my office, it does its job great 👍 and thanks 🙏 for great review! Your reviews are top 🥇🎯
Thanks!
kkkkkk Koji Koji j i2
I would really like to see you review the makita robot vacuum, because I have heard that its really really good but I dont know
Really really really waiting for s10, or the next BIG thing!!!! 🤩🤩🤩
Great video!
Cant pick one between eufy 11s and roomba 693/4 (same) any suggests?
Can you do a review on the Shark Sonic Duo ? I would like to know your thoughts on it.
Wow..what a scientific approach to reviewing this.
Can you do the new iRobot H1 handheld vacuum review??
Whats the issues going on with your mic? volume is in and out repeatedly o.o
Great to the point review! Adding to my bridal registry!!
Thanks! and Congrats!
I just got the 692 today I was on clearance for $175.00 it works awesome.
Great to hear that!!!
Vacuums your house while you watch TV or better yet when you are out. Come back to clean house. All for about $200. Priceless.
We agree!
Would you prefer this over the Eufy G30?
Thanks for all the videos! I've learned a lot about robot vacuums from them, but I'm wondering why no one has tested any models, especially any top of the line models like the S9+, on carpet deodorizer. I get that older models and a lot of affordable models would be overwhelmed by all of that fine powder, but is that equally true for the models that are scoring between 80 and 96 on your carpet deep cleaning test? Or does the problem have more to do with the powder "blinding" different sensors and clogging filters?
Whats good for floor only no carpet??
Does it work on hard tile floors?
Greater review super impressive
Thank you!
Could you cover Xiaomi Vaccum Mop Pro and Xiaomi Vaccum Mop 2 Pro+?
Really like your channel. Have two questions that maybe you or someone could respond to -How this vacuum works in a multi-room house of 1000 square feet? Does it do a good job in all the rooms or does the battery run out and it never finishes the house? Thanks!!!
would it be a bad idea to buy a 690 in 2023? i’ve been thinking about what roomba i’d potentially want to get in the future. and i know i could just get the 692 or the 694, which are essentially almost the same thing as the 690, but i just really like the design of the 690 (it being silver and black, i mean. it looks really nice) but yeah. would that be stupid?
I want to buy a Roomba with a 200-300$ price, this would be the model you'd advice to me ?
have you ever try a liectroux product?
Want you to review
Aeris Air Purifier
Roomba Combo
H1 Cordless Vacuum
Roomba 890 (because it's the only 800 series Roomba you mentioned in a video)
I love your content, but there were some weird technical issues this time around? The mic kept randomly going higher and lower in volume, and then when you had a scroll of accessories on Amazon, the scrolling video was upside down. I do love the information, though!
Hey thanks. I appreciate this.
Is it dual voltage?
Great work. Could you do reviews on the new Roidmi products. The new ROIDMI EVE Plus Robot Vacuum and especially the ROIDMI X20S - Self Cleaning Mop & Vacuum 2 in 1 because it looks like a game changer.
Thank you
Thank you too.
Any suggestions for robots that can vacuum and mop? Love your video💕
I recently reviewed the Eufy L70 th-cam.com/video/Zhr0MoSdezg/w-d-xo.html and the Robotock s7 th-cam.com/video/-O7K4oerR4E/w-d-xo.html - both did really well.
Do you think this is better than the Samsung jet bot??
Would u recommend this vacuum
Roborock S7 ftw
It would be really great if you could (even briefly) review the noise of each robot. Our current roomba is so, so loud. I'm worried to buy another one because of this, but no one ever discussed the noise levels of the vacuums they review. :/
What’s the best vacuum (both robot and non-robot) for long hair pick up?
A JCB
With the small room in a normal house the Door will be open and just look at how many times I wants to escape leving halve cleaned.
What's the difference with the 697? I can't find any information😭
Again a great review.
I’ve been hanging on, trying to learn this whole world of robot vacuums. I’ve had my eyes on the ‘Ecovacs Deebot Ozmo T8 Aivi’ for some time, but I just don’t know. I’m ok with spending a little more but I don’t know if it’s worth it. Really, my biggest concerns are doorsteps and apps. Can any robot vacuum climb doorsteps? And who makes the best app? I hope you can point me in the right direction..
So the max climbing height for that T8 is 20 mm. Some companies will be clear about that, and some others don't say much about it. We keep track of it on our website and you can compare it against others too - www.vacuumwars.com/compare-ecovacs-deebot-ozmo-t8-aivi-with-auto-empty-bin-vacuum-cleaner
As far as the app goes, we also track those features on the website too, when it's available. Those can also improve with updates over time. Sorry to just be plugging the site, but it will be a good starting point since you know some of what you are looking for.
@@VacuumWars excellent, thanks a lot.
Have you ever tested if swapping the new bin on earlier models increases their suction power?
You mean the 600's AeroVac bin into 500's Vacuum bin? Yes, it fits, but suction power is the same. Only bin design is different.
Other models have different designs of bins, so they are not changeable.
@@robovaccollector I swapped an 880 vacuum impeller into my 560. Had to do some creative engineering to get it to fit, but it noticeably increased cleaning performance!
@00:21 darn!!! that knocking sound... well, it sounded only on my right side STUDIO monitors, almost where the door is. The thing is that, I am supposed to be alone in this 3rd floorof this 3 story building with NO ONE else having, at this time, any business here; Pulled out my ElDiablo Shootgun and went on a patroll..... nothing.... replay the video and there!
Hey Vacuum Wars could you please test the Narwal T10. There is a lot of fuss about it.
Noted. Thanks!
One thing I came here looking for is how loud is it? If I'm on my headset with my buddies, will it get in the way or be annoying? If I have a headache will it be an issue if it's in the same room with me? Etc.
Edit: I'm also a complete newbie when it comes to roombas. Does it charge at its dock? Will it make it back to it ok without the battery dying? I wouldn't be able to lift it or move it, likely if it died in the hallway.
I've only used my 692 once thus far, but it did not listen when I asked it to return to base. I ended up having to pick it up and carry it back to where the base was. Not a great first experience!
The robots are continuing their take over. I guess people are quick to forget the sacrifices us Robot Vacuum War Veterans had to make. This is the thanks we get, welcome home.
Can you do a review in the iRobot roomba 650!!
It is totally the same like theese, except it is waaaay older model, it have scheduling feature, 2 virtuall walls, and it does not have wifi.
Great video as always!
I know this is vacuum wars, but any thoughts in long life washers and other appliances? C: would love to know your opinion!
Thanks! I don't have thoughts about those right now, but I'd be interested in what others are saying about those appliances too.
What's the best budget robo vac for mostly hardwood floors?
maybe try running it a little more frequently so the hair to dirt ratio changes a bit.
What'd you suggest for Hard floors. In budget segment, or the best bang for buck product.
Probably roborock
Check the Favorite Robot Vacuums list in all the video descriptions. Right now the favorite budget is iRobot Roomba 675.
Have you tested it on dog hairs??? I have a White German Shepherd and he sheds all over the place....I call him Snow....so he leaves like snow flakes everywhere he goes....I'm try to get this Robot and put it to the test.....thanks for the review.
So for this price range, a Roomba is a good choice. Run it frequently so that it isn't picking up sooo much hair all at once and clean the brushroll often.
Can you test some water filtered vacuums?
Thank you!
What happen if you house don’t have a carpet so wish is better ??? 🙃
In general, would you recommend Roombas over other brands for maintenence?
I would, I’ve got a Roomba E5 that is 2.5 years old. And I have a Ecovacs Deebot T8 AIVI for about 3 months now. Never had any problem with the E5 you can find original spareparts at the Irobot website and other places. Their customer service is great! The only downside I think are the rubber rollers that are doing a fantastic job though they don't go for that long and are pretty expensive imo. I'm trying to get original spare parts for my Deebot and it's a hassle, on the official website it's almost always out of stock and getting in touch with customer service is much harder than it should be. Beyond that the T8 is a great robot as well
@@SvdT Thanks for the reply! Still in the process of choosing, and this is a really good point!
I have a Roomba 530 from 2009 and it's still going strong. We've only had to change the batteries twice and the rollers, but they are super easy to find on Amazon and the machine itself still works really well!
Video idea: Please do Xiaomi robot vacuum mop 2 pro +
I love my 694
I have the old Roomba 692
Are you also gonna review the iRobot combo?
he did, but seperatly.
@@thetechbin401 where?
@@charleydumas5514 search for m6 review and s9+ or i7+ review
You didn't mentioned one thing, 690 came with virtuall wall, 675 and 694 does not, and 694 does not have handle. For me, who loves handles this is pretty painful, as you need to pick up the entire robot with 2 hands.
Have you thought of testing shop oriented vacuums like Makita's bot?
I have it in the list of possibilities but I can't promise anything. Its worth doing for sure.
Why does the 694 remind me of my 650
Got the 694 black friday for 179 off amazon. Works well, but it's very loud. That's the only real downside.
nice ad btw
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Money well spent
is there a roomba for a tiny house? all roomba are wayy too big for the tiny house my family and i live in.
That's a good question. I haven't looked at anything smaller than the standard sizes.
I have 675 and it's ok. The brushy brush gets really destroyed and tangled though. And no navigation is annoying. I am looking to upgrade. Not sure roborock S7 vs i7
I really wish they never got rid of the handle
iRobot is the best choice because it’s easy to repair. You can change every single part of Roomba and it has standard screws. Because Roomba is popular u can buy every single part easily and parts like brushes and filters are cheep.
This really is such a good perk.
The modular design also means it's moddable. Swapped out the little vacuum impeller in my 560 for a bigger one from an 880. More power, and it makes a cool whirring sound!
For the same price I can take a Lidar Robot Vacuum wich is really smart
But it won't clean that good.
Karcher*
My almost 3-year-old son is a HUGE fan!! Thanks so much for this content! Please check out his Roomba video on our channel! :)
Wish this channel would list cons of the actual tested device is. Not everything is a winner.
Is this Roomba strong enough to be a Cat ride? I have 3 kitties 😂
We don't test that! 😹
When in the world will you review the Shark AI? Bissell SpinWave Robot? Bissel IconPet Robot? Maybe you just don't want to review them?
I reviewed all of those as you know LOL :)
@@AdamsReviews Lol yea, and 2 out of the 3 were garbage! 🤣
After having one for a month... READ THE MANUAL. I only read part of it. There is maintenance, tiny issues that occur and things that can go wrong that have simple fixes but you will be clueless about unless you READ THE MANUAL.
likes rn 692
Not to by a cynic, but . . . that's a boring robot. I use a Roomba at home. An i8 (Costco i7). It does fine, but I honestly don't think it cleaned any better than the cheapo Shark IQ that it replaced. And it never seems to fill the bag. Where on earth is all that dirt that I know is there going? With 2 shedding animals in the house, there is debris for certain.
Unless you have shag carpeting. Then it’s meh on carpet.
Are they made in China?
Carpets are pretty much just an American thing.
Why does iRobot make the cheaper and more affordable robots, when you can buy the newest used for cheaper.
Some people hate used things, like my uncle, so they rather buy new cheaper ones.
ihavehte692💀
a classic!
pretty much all Roombas are a ripoff here [as with anything with a prestige brand], it's ridiculous next to USA prices.
I remember the predecessor to the 692 costing $50 more than the Roborock S5 I bought for $350aud in nov 2018, and thank god I did.
Can't ever go back to the frustrations of dumb robovacs.
Eh the newer Roborocks are solid but so many people had issues with models like their S6 and carpet. The brush roller would completely turn off. When contacting Roborock, their response was that it was a feature to protect the motor. Seems absurd considering a $50 robot vacuum can easily go on carpet. It’s unfortunate vacuum wars never shed light on this major issue. You can read a ton about it on the subreddit
