With the one sweep, the Roomba 960 will go over the floor once, with the double it will go over it twice to do a more thorough cleaning, and with auto it will intelligently decide how many sweeps and how long to devote to a room, depending on its size.

Many users have been all praise about how effectively and efficiently the Roomba 960 cleans.

It seamlessly transitions between different floor types, from wooden to carpet to linoleum and others. It also handle lips between different rooms and slight height differences very well. It cleans carpeted areas as well as any regular vacuum does and with other floors it does an even better job than a regular vacuum.

When it does a second sweep it does an extremely thorough cleaning and the floor is left spotlessly clean. The cleaning time from one full charge is around 75 minutes after which it will go back to the charging station and resume cleaning once it is fully charged.

It is also where you get notifications about the Roomba 960, such as when the dust bag inside the Roomba is full and you need to empty it out, as well as when it finishes the cleaning job. Incidentally in the all new Roomba i7+, the emptying of the dust bag inside the robot vacuum cleaners also happens automatically at the base, when the Roomba comes int o charge.

The app also gives you a complete overview of the cleaning that the Romba has done, including all cleaning jobs and durations.

A user who upgraded from the Roomba 650 to the Roomba 960 was extremely happy with it. She says that the reason why she purchased the Roomba 960 even though it costs more was that she wanted the convenience of navigation sensors, Wi-Fi update, Voice and App connectivity and improved monitoring software. To her delight she has found the Roomba 960 to be everything she wanted, and finds that it navigates very efficiently, even slowing down before tapping obstacles in its path, and ‘picks up a bin full of dust and small hairs every day’. She was very happy that it performs equally well on hard surfaces and carpet alike, and overall the Roomba 960 has kept the air in her house noticeably cleaner and fresher and it has markedly reduced allergy related problems too. For her the Roomba 960 was a huge win-win.

iRobot Roomba 620 – a budget robot home vacuum cleaner that does a solid job

This is the Roomba model that will get your home cleaned with minimum effort, minimum complications and a very reasonable price. The no nonsense Roomba that has been on top of the popularity charts for a very very long time. The Roomba 620 works hard at doing its core job of thoroughly cleaning your home’s floors, and taking vacuuming out of our worry list.

The 620 is a basic model which is not programmable and it doesn’t have a remote control either, but it performs its task of cleaning very effectively. It works for every kind of home and floor and is backed by the incredible durable and effective technology of iRobot.

However don't expect any miracles from this budget Roomba, it will clean effectively, but if faced with an obstruction, it may get stuck or it may go around rugs or not go over that 1 inch height difference between rooms. It will also not clean up a soggy mess, well, and dog poop will turn into a terrible mess.

Having said all that, if you have a straightforward cleaning job, even floors and not too many complications (it does a good job with corners, so no problem there), then this is a great device for its price.
