7. Roomba 614
At under $300, the Roomba 614 is an affordable way to dip your toe into the world of robot vacuums. While it may not have all the bells and whistles of the newer series, it can clean any room in the house efficiently with its Dirt Detect sensor and multi-surface brushes.
- Simple three-button interface
- Picks up pet hair well
- Can't be set to a schedule

6. Roomba 870
With a motor five times more powerful than the 600 and 700 series, the Roomba 870 (about $670) can pick up all kinds of dust and debris. It also operates fairly quietly, so you can let it run while you’re sleeping or watching TV without being bothered.
- Maintenance is easy
- Won't fall down stairs
- Doesn't offer multi-room cleaning

5. Roomba 650
The Roomba 650 (around $249) is an older model, but it’s a reliable appliance that should serve you well, as long as you’re not looking for new, high-tech features. It works with all types of floor, from tile to carpet, and can be set to a weekly schedule.
- Returns to its dock automatically
- Designed to fit under most furniture
- Hair can get tangled in brushes

4. Roomba 980
The Roomba 980 comes with all of the latest features robot vacuums have to offer. It can visualize, map, and clean an entire level of a house, and its carpet boost is great for dealing with deeply embedded dirt. The only downside is the price, coming in at over $800.
- Battery lasts up to 2 hours
- Stronger motor than other options
- Custom cleaning preferences

3. Roomba 890
Unlike its predecessors, the Roomba 890 (about $455) is equipped with tangle-free rollers that make it much better at picking up things like hair and bits of string, which is good news for pet owners and knitters alike. It can also be scheduled for daily or weekly cleanings.
- High-efficiency filter
- Works with the irobot app
- Dirt-detection sensors

2. Roomba 690
If wi-fi connectivity is a priority, but you don’t want to spend too much money, the Roomba 690 (around $339) might be the choice for you. It’s essentially the same design as the popular 650 model, but has a more modern look and can be controlled and scheduled via a smartphone app.
- Compatible with amazon alexa
- Costs under 300 dollars
- Easy to operate


1. Roomba 960
The Roomba 960 (about $546) is equipped with a number of high-end features, but at a more palatable price than the 980. It can run for up to 75 minutes on a single charge, and not only will it return to its dock when necessary, it can resume working once it gets back to full power.
- Provides clean map reports
- Built-in camera
- Multi-room cleaning
