If you are looking for an affordable vacuum robot for this year’s prize, one of the latest irobots can do tricks. Roomba 694, who came out earlier this year as a substitute for Roomba 675, has dropped back to the low of $ 179. Usually $ 275, this model is already quite cheap – especially for IROBOT devices – but the sale of Black Friday places it according to the budget model from people -People like Anker and others.
Irobot brought most of the new features of Roomba 675 to 694, but the latest Robo-VAC has a slimmer design that displays three physical buttons on it. You can manually control the device using those buttons, or you can switch to the mobile app for it. When we tested Roomba 694 for our budget robot vacuum guide, we found it both in cleaning the hard floor and carpeted, some thanks to the three-stage cleaning system, and we liked its ability to focus on very dirty spots until they were really clean . One of the on-device buttons even lets you activate spot cleaning mode if and when you want the device to just clean the targeted place.
The companion application is one of Roomba 694’s sales points. It’s quite easy to navigate, even for those who have never used a previous robot vacuum. With the IRobot application and devices connected to WiFi, you can set the cleaning schedule and turn on and turn off the device remotely. You can even use the Alexa or Google Assistant command to notify Robo-VAC to start cleaning work – and when it’s finished, it will automatically return to the base to recharge. It should last about 90 minutes with one charge, which should be enough time to clean one floor of your house (depending on how big it is) or the whole small apartment.
