The iRobot 675 has changed my life. I’m a mom to 4 young children living in a 1880 square foot house on a large wooded lot. My kids are outside A LOT and track in all kinds of dirt, mud, leaves, grass, etc. My husband, while I love him, is also kind of a mess and has a bad habit of not wiping his shoes and bringing in a ton of sawdust from his projects. On top of all of that, add in the fact that children under 7 really don’t know how to eat properly and drop about seven thousand crumbs per meal per child. Our floors, wood, tile, and carpet, have been a disaster for years.
Enter the Roomba. I have been eyeing this little piece of wizardry for years and wondering if this could be the tool that could change my life. I swept and vacuumed (with a Dyson DC33) multiple times a day. I was constantly telling guests, “hey sorry about the floor but I think we’re just gross and I can never get on top of it”. Well, after finally biting the bullet I regret that I didn’t buy a Roomba years ago. I don’t have to apologize to guests and I can finally walk barefoot in my house without having 100 tiny crumbs attaching to the bottom of my feet. I love this thing more than I have ever loved any appliance or cleaning tool I have every owned.
About half of our home is our 2 living areas, dining, kitchen, and mud room. The other half are 4 bedrooms and two bathrooms. I have a baby gate dividing the two halves which acts as a barrier that the Roomba can’t get through. I really like having that barrier and if I didn’t use that baby gate I probably would have gone with the 690 for the virtual wall but I don’t see a purpose for it for us. I run the Roomba every night in our living/eating/kitchen area after we pick up the toys and straighten up the house. This is like magic. I always WANT to have things picked up and put away but I didn’t always do that before the Roomba because we are TIRED. But I love running the Roomba so much that since we have owned this thing we have cleaned up every night since we have owned it. Magic. I run the Roomba in the bedroom/bathroom areas 2-3 times a week in our house. Our kids are a little afraid of it (I want them to be, I don’t want them to touch it, and I may have told them it will bite them) and it does make noise so between all of our napping and sleeping I don’t have as much time to run it back there. I don’t mind though, because the bedrooms do not get nearly as dirty as our living areas.
The things I wish I would have known before purchasing:
- It really does clean all of the floor. It picks everything up. The crumbs and leaves are gone. It doesn’t miss any part of the floor. I was afraid it would kind of get half of the floor and not the other half because it isn’t as intelligent as the higher trim lines of the Roomba. I was wrong. This thing is amazing. I heard from someone else that you shouldn’t watch the Roomba because it will just drive you crazy. This is totally true. I watch it and question every move it makes. Why did it roll right past that crumb? Why is it spending 20 minutes under that couch? Just don’t watch it! It so nice to lay in bed at night, tell it to clean from my smart phone, go to sleep, and wake up in the morning to spotless floors!
- I have needed to clean out the dust bin after every cleaning. I read a lot of reviews that said once you get into the swing of things with your Roomba you only need to clean out the dust bin once or twice a week. That hasn’t been true for us. I’m telling you, we are gross. So if your kids are especially messy or you have really messy pets or track in a lot from being outside that might just be your reality. But that’s fine with me because emptying the dustbin is a lot easier than vacuuming my own floors!
- It charges really quickly. I thought I’d be waiting half a day for a charge. Not so. Ours charges within an hour which is nice because I like to charge in between doing both halves of my house. With as dirty as our floors get I don’t think the Roomba could do the entire 1880 square feet on one charge.
- Unless you really, really want the features the higher end Roombas provide you really shouldn’t look at this vacuum as a cheap item. The technology in this thing is awesome (or at least I think it is, I’m not really super techy). This is a great robot that does an amazing job and seems very durable.
- It does make noise. My mother in law commented that she was surprised it made noise. It’s a vacuum.
- It has changed my life. I am excited to clean my house. I am excited to pick up toys. Nothing has ever made me happier about cleaning. This thing is the real deal. I wake up to clean floors every morning and I didn’t do any of the work. Get yourself one.

Roomba Q0120 - pretty good with two cats and a dog
I've run my Roomba Q0120 for over 80 hours over three months. It's scheduled three times a week. I have a small dog and two cats and mostly tile floors with some fairly flat area rugs. We have a house with a large yard and often grass clippings and mud come in with either the people, who don't always kick off shoes or maybe attached to the dog.The Roomba does a decent job dealing with these challenges. Our house is noticeably cleaner between the days our cleaning person comes. There are many fewer dust bunnies, fur balls, bits of seed from our bird feeders, and grass clippings on our floors.The Roomba gets stuck under areas of low clearance (we identified two areas that we basically block off before the cleaning time). We also pick up the various cat toys so the Roomba doesn't choke on them.The Roomba roams for two hours+ and then usually self parks. Occasionally it gets stuck by one of our chairs that has USB cables all over. We had to move one lamp cord to keep the lamp from being pulled off a table. It's not quite like child-proofing a house, but you may need to do some Roomba-proofing.Usually the dust basket is filled with hair from our fairly fluffy cats. It's very satisfying to empty it and realize that's been dealt with and I didn't have to do it.On one occasion, our elderly dog released a brown trout in the dining room floor. The Roomba smeared it when it started before we woke up. Thank goodness the room is tile.We now make sure the coast is clear before running it. Cleaning the floor was fairly simple. Removing feces from the Roomba was somewhat more involved and fairly unpleasant.I never planned to have the Roomba replace our cleaning lady. I just wanted to tidy things up between her visits. It works for that purpose and does well.It had a learning curve but we've adjusted. It's been reliable. I like the notices for maintenance. It usually finds its way to home base, but not always, and that's ok.I occasionally spot clean our screened in porch and upstairs with our Roomba and it does fine. It detects and does not suicide dive off our stairs when it is upstairs.I had iRobot products (vacuum and mop) in the past. I got away from them because I didn't think they were that great and they were a little flaky or too complex to use. I think they've gotten much better. I have not tried other robot vacuums.I like the Roomba Q0120 and I would buy it again without hesitation. I may buy them for family members who are just moving into their own places. I hope this helps you navigate the decision I made a few months ago.
