Looking for a Roomba to cover about 2500/sqft with area rugs... I can't imagine that just because it's the 900-series Roomba, it's the best...

Hit me with it...

TIA

Purchased the 900 series one(newest model) and it’s been amazing. I have a Siberian husky who’s constantly leaving hair around the house. The roomba picks up stuff i’d Probably miss 90% of the time. Well worth the money imo.

I don't have a Roomba, but I have the Samsung competitor to it (PowerBot). With two dogs, a cat, and a 15 month old, the little guy (we named him Hugo) is a blessing. He removed the need for us to sweep the first floor. I have him set to run on a schedule, can control him via Alexa when needed; I used to have it integrated with my Smartthings hub, but alas that doesn't work at the moment.

If you get a robot vacuum, make sure it has suction, not just the beater brush. That was why I chose the Samsung; it is an actual vacuum.

I have the ilife A6. We were skeptical about it before we bought (my wife even more so) but not a week goes by that she doesn't thank me for getting it for her.

Like another poster said, watch out for dog poop. We have an older dog that never shite in the house but I guess he can't hold it like he used to. Needless to say we don't have it running while we are at work anymore. At $200 I bought a new one instead of trying to clean that...

We have an Ecovac Deebot D79. We got it on sale for like $150 because we were unsure we even wanted one and didn't want to drop the money on an expensive Roomba. Turns out we love it. It works really really well for our home. We don't strictly use it as the only floor cleaner but we don't have to pull the dyson out as much and that's always a plus.

I just ordered the 7070. Seems like the same as the 9025 or w/e except the 7070 has the edge scraper deal. Can't wait to surprise my wife with this.

What's the best robo vac in the $150-$300? All I have is a little shite cat that gets litter all over my house, and I'm too lazy to sweep/vacuum

Love my Roomba 960, got it on Black Friday. Had a Neto that was gray but traded it in when I got the Roomba for $400.

Get a Neato Botvac instead. You will thank me. I've had both.

Picked up a Roomba 690 the other day at Best Buy for $299.99 (reg. $374.99). Just started to use it this weekend, so no opinions yet.

I actually picked up a Deebot last week, (because they have a mop function on the M80 model). Happy enough with it so far.
