“I definitely recommend this for busy people or people with pets”

Spring is finally here, but spring cleaning doesn’t have to be a pain this year.
We’ve tested hundreds of vacuums in our PEOPLE Tested labs, but one vacuum completely changed the game: The iRobot Roomba 694 Robot Vacuum automatically cleaned our floors while we sat back and relaxed. Its powerful suction and long-lasting battery life earned it the top spot as the best robot vacuum overall that we tested. And during Amazon’s Big Spring Sale, the super-sucking robot vacuum is nearly 25 percent less.
The robot vacuum connects to your smartphone, so you can conveniently schedule it to deep clean your floors whenever you want. Plus, it’s easy to connect the device to a home voice control system, like an Alexa or Google Smart Home. Once fully charged, the Roomba can run for up to 90 minutes, weaving around furniture to suck up dirt, dust, and debris before automatically returning to its docking station to recharge.

According to our testers, this robot vacuum was a breeze to set up — it took just five minutes to have it up and running. The vacuum quickly got to work, skirting easily around tables and chairs to find hidden dirt and sucking it up into the internal dust canister. This little robot blew us away with its super strong suction, handlingeverything we threw at it, including pet and human hair, sand, and Cheerios.
The Roomba vacuum also proved to be impressively durable during long-term testing, performing just as well after six months as it did on the day we took it out of the box. We tested the vacuum in a variety of places and found that the sensor technology could handle any floor layout, no matter how many obstacles. It easily hugged walls to get the edges of a room clean and never fell down stairs thanks to its cliff detection technology.

Another pleased reviewer wrote, “It does an amazing job of picking up the daily dog hair.” They continued, writing, “I definitely recommend this for busy people or people with pets.”
