The Roomba 694 is currently the least expensive robot vacuum from iRobot, and it’s just got even cheaper. At just $179, it won’t hurt your budget if you’re looking to upgrade from a traditional vacuum for the first time, and its also simple to set up and use for first-time robot vacuum owners. Controlled through the iRobot home app, this robot vacuum can easily handle big messes like cereal and kitty litter. The vacuum automatically detects which areas of the floor need the most attention as it goes, meaning it can use power efficiently on less messy areas. You can use the iRobot home app to schedule cleaning times, whether you want to clean only on certain days of the week or start cleaning when you leave the house. Don’t want to use the app? You’re in luck, as Alexa and Google Assistant support are built into this vacuum. In addition, some features such as spot cleaning can be activated using the controls directly on the vacuum. If you’re still looking for your perfect vacuum, our list of the best robot vacuums will help you decide.
