iRobot Roomba 650 Robot Vacuum for Pets. The Roomba 650 is iRobot’s lowest priced robot vacuum with 7 day scheduling. It is effective at getting dirt, dust, pet fur, and pet hair from a variety of surfaces using its patented 3 stage cleaning system. This sophisticated robot vacuum has Dirt Detect technology uses an acoustic sensor to identify dirtier areas and spends more time cleaning them. Using advanced software and sensors, the Roomba 650’s iAdapt technology ensures that it vacuums every section of your floor, including areas you cannot easily reach, such as under furniture.

As a multi-floor vacuum, this robotic vacuum will automatically adjust to clean carpets, hardwood, tile, and linoleum floors as it moves through your home. Roomba will vacuum every section of your floor multiple times, and its advanced software allows it to get around obstacles, move along walls and to avoid falling down stairs, drop-offs, and avoid tangles from loose cords. The improved brush requires less cleaning, as the brush mechanism cleans itself most of the time. AeroVac Technology: Optimized airflow pulls hair off Roomba’s brushes and guides it to the back of the AeroVac bin. The Roomba 650 starts working for you at the push of the CLEAN button (on the top of the vacuum).


iRobot Virtual Wall

The included Virtual Wall restricts the iRobot 650 from leaving a specific room

Virtual Wall: The included Virtual Wall® acts like a barrier and will confine the robot to specific rooms and areas, so you only clean the room or rooms that you want done.

The Roomba 650 will automatically return to its Home Base® to dock and recharge between cycles. Multi-floor capability, for hard floors, hardwood, tile, linoleum, rugs, and carpets.


What’s in the Box: 1 Robot Battery, 1 Filter, 1 Side Brush, 1 Bristle Brush, 1 Beater Brush, 1 Self-Charging Home Base, 1 Virtual Wall, 1 AeroVac™ Extra Filter, and 1 Brush Cleaning Tool.

On-Board Scheduling: The Roomba 650 can be scheduled to perform up to seven cleaning sessions per week, even when you’re not home.

Vacuum Warranty: 1-year warranty
Vacuum Weight: 7.9 lbs.


Smart-Review Commentary: The iRobot Roomba 650 is a big leap forward from the older 550 model. The 600 series uses sophisticated power management software to deliver up to 50% longer battery life than previous models. iRobot vacuums are extremely sophisticated cleaning machines, using the latest software and sensor technology to vacuum your entire floor, yet avoid obstacles. This vacuum is no toy. It will clean areas that vacuums rarely go, such as under furniture, under a bed, in corners. The Roomba 650 is better equipped than previous models to handle fibers like hair, pet hair, pet fur, lint and carpet fuzz. It is ideal for those with pets. The larger dust bin requires less emptying than previous models. This vacuum can do a comparable job to many uprights, because this vacuum goes over a dirty area many times, until clean, using Dirt Detect technology.

If this fits your lifestyle, it is an excellent robot vacuum to clean your rooms while you do other activities. Very simple operation, just press the clean button. You also have the option to schedule cleaning when you are not home with 7 day scheduling (this is an upgrade to the 630 model which has no scheduling). This model has received extremely high marks from professional reviews as well as outstanding reviews by consumers. This model is a Smart-Review top pick for robotic vacuums.
