Question Ranking
Pros
Pro Competitive price
Most robotic vacuums cost well over $200, and this retails at around $150. Although it comes cheaper, you have to be ready to compromise in terms of tidiness.
Pro Can clean under the furniture
It has a low clearance height of just 3 inches, meaning this robot can easily crawl under furniture to clean there.
Pro Can mop the floors
This is one of the few robot cleaners that can be used to mop the floor thanks to the attachable microfiber cloth. An additional benefit is that you're not required to soak it in water manually, as it's designed for dry mopping.
Pro It's priced very competitively
The Roomba 690 is very good at cleaning all floor surfaces - wood, tile, carpets, and even rugs, and it deals well with all kinds of debris like crumbs, hair, and dirt. Although it doesn't have the suction power of more expensive 800 and 900-series Roombas, it gets the job done and costs 2-3 times less.
Pro It offers an amazing user experience for a mid-tier robot
This is one of the rare budget-friendly robotic vacuums that have Wifi and even Amazon Alexa compatibility. This means you can start your robot remotely from the app and create a cleaning schedule, or simply use voice commands to control it.
Cons
Con Bad at collecting pet hair
Without any bristled or rubber rollers on it, the ILIFE V3s struggles to pick up pet hair.
Con It has trouble navigating big areas
It lacks a camera that would help it create a map of the area. So if you let this robot go over a particularly big route, it will most likely get lost on the way back to the charging station.
Con Does not have a way to control where it goes
There is no way to prevent this robot from entering unwanted areas besides using physical barriers. If you don't put up a baby gate or a large obstacle, it could wander into your kids' room and start overturning all the toys or knock over your pet's food.
Con There are more powerful models
This robot cleans floors well, but it's nothing outstanding. If you have a lot of rugs and carpets, or if you need a robot that will go over the entire house, not just a room you'll have to take a look at more expensive models.
