Roomba 675 (Restored)

My old 675 is cleaning my floors for 7 years and besides occasional maintenance and nowadays bit worn battery no issues whatsoever.

i had a [roomba 675](https://oklookup.com/review/roomba-675-robot-vacuum/) for a while, and man, it really did wonders on pet hair. super easy to set up, like just press a button and it goes. honestly, the app was a game changer too. but it does get stuck under furniture sometimes, which is annoying. i also tried the eufy 30C, it’s decent but not as good on carpets. if you got a lot of fur, roomba 675 is solid, just keep an eye on the little guy.

I live in a almost completely hardwood floored Victorian. I have two Roombas: a "rescue" I found at a thrift store for the downstairs and a smaller off brand one for the upstairs that we jokingly say we got from a "breeder." They have names and the dogs treat them about like they treated our cat when he was still alive, tbh. We have mainly white, black spotted pitt/dane crosses and the sheer amount of hair they shed makes me bewildered because *how could they possibly shed that much and not be bald?!*

I have the older 677. Still works great. If I had to buy another I’d get the self-emptying.. buts she’s only on hard floors, no carpet.

I should add that I do have one older Roomba in our cat litter room. It does do a really good job, but it’s in a square room with LVP and it really can’t go wrong. I don’t know if I would trust it on long dog hair and human hair in thick carpet.

More complex vacuum and mopping robots with lots of sensors and fail points are probably going to last less long than a simple vacuum. I believe a lot of brands are heavily pushing mop + vacuum because they need replacing more and are more profitable. If longevity is important, I would think about vacuum only if you don't really need the mop. Brands change over time. I have an Irobot 676 which is working just fine 6 years, but they tend to get bad rep lately.
