I've had it for a week and it's a very viable option (especially when it's on sale for under $200). With my allergies and the fact that I have two shedding dogs, I'm better off with a self-emptying model that doesn't have a bristle brush to maintain. It's a really good model if you don't own pets!
I believe for iRobot there a small plastic panel underneath the robot. It held on by two screws. The battery is plug and play. If not you may need to remove the entire robot top shell.
They need to bring back the little red comb to clean out the brush bars. Their round comb is useless. Thanks for the review of their products.
Sure no problem, it would of been nice if they had the cleaning brush and the carrying handle that was built into the older Roomba models!!!
@@RobotMasters buy a irobot cleaning tool and you can clean it
@@RobotMasters zip sucks I'll I sac

My roomba is so old the dirt detection sensor looks dirty
Really thorough review! Helping me decide to pick up one for Black Friday. Thanks!
Glad it helped!!!
I have a roomba 675 and it is doing great.
Even has a handle
Yes the older design were better. Carrying handle and multi function buttons.
If there is a moter in the dust bin than it's a electric dust bin 😂😂😂
crazy how they have been using the same platform for the past 16 years
Can you update the Roomba 694 software over Wi-Fi?
Yes as long as the 694 has an App through a Smartphone you can update the software manually or set it up to update automatically.
My old 680 was decent enough, but it was so noisy and suction was actually quite awful. However it lasted around 5 years which is fantastic.
That good to hear, heard the old Roombas are made well and last a long time!!!
Can you show how you charge it when the battery is red. Cause I just bought mine and it is not charging

Got one for my parents but my dad doesn’t have a smart phone. Will it still work without smart phone?
Yes you can still run the vacuum without a smartphone.
Nathan my new veniibot base just arrived,finders crossed this one will not blow up
Hopefully not, hope it works 🤣
@@RobotMasters IT WORKS I haven’t ran it yet because it is charging
wait did all roombas get the opposite side brush update (well probably not the s9)
Not sure, haven’t verified this, maybe someone that has a different model can check 🧐
How do you send the J7 home with just the physical button?
I don’t think you can, it has to be done via the App. Holding down the button for 5 seconds actually resets the robot 😞
@@RobotMasters oh. How about double clicking.
Just stopped the robot I think. I will try different combinations
Can you please let me know how well it collecting dirt from the corners? either 180 or 90 degree angle walls?
It does pretty well since the side brushes are very large.
How is it on carpet?
It ok, if doesn't have the best carpet performance compared to similar priced robot.
Does it work with 240 volt charge
I believe so. If not you can buy a step up transformer to convert the voltage.
3:39: why is it so BIG? It looks huge...?
its average
0:42 i have the roomba e5
Oh nah video started & i heard that voice. I commented & left.
