I’m a big advocate for rescue animals, so inevitably, I’ve adopted three cats and two dogs over the years — all of whom shed quite a bit. As you can probably see, fur is everywhere in my house. it takes hours to keep clean.

What attracted you to finally buy this? iRobot Roomba 694 Robot Vacuum The fact that it was on sale and uses Wi-Fi connectivity means I can clean it even when it’s not my home. It took just minutes to set up the vacuum and charger station. I then used my smartphone’s iRobot app to schedule a cleaning session the next day. It started working right away, and it continued cleaning for more than an hour. The battery still had some life left. After the task was complete, it returned to its charging station.

The vacuum has helped me to relieve a lot of stress and has reduced my cleaning time by allowing me to focus on vacuuming my main floor. It is still at 35 percent discount right now.

It’s been around two months since I started using it. The amount of pet hair floating around on my hard floors has decreased dramatically after that time. The small, compact design can be placed under tables and chairs. It also features an exterior brush that picks up debris from hard to reach areas. One problem I have had is that it sometimes gets stuck to my kitchen rug, which has tassels. The best thing about it is that it can move easily from one floor type or another, regardless of the height difference.

It may look tiny, but the trap that holds dirt and hair can actually hold quite a lot. It has a quality filter system that captures small particles and keeps the air fresh. The filter and brush roller can be easily removed and cleaned to keep the vacuum running smoothly. It is recommended that you clean it at least once a week, depending on how frequently you use it.
