Which Roomba Should You Buy?

So bottom line—when it’s time to make a final selection and bring one home, which Roomba is right for you?

There are advantages and disadvantages to each model, so let’s hit the highlights one more time.

I would recommend the Roomba 614 if you’re looking for:

Lower price: If you’re looking for the lowest sticker price and want to stick below $300, the Roomba 614 will get you a name brand Roomba, but without having to spend a fortune. It lacks the advanced features of newer models, but still has a lot to over and at a lower price.

Good cleaning performance: The cleaning performance is also still pretty impressive. It doesn’t use the advanced rubberized brushroll, not does it navigate in intelligent patterns, but it did do a really great job of cleaning the space.

People without pets: If you don’t have pets, chances are that you won’t miss the rubberized brushroll, which is fantastic on cleaning pet hair. The bristle style brushroll does tend to tangle so just be sure to consider this before making your final decision.

I would recommend the Roomba 675 if you’re looking for:

Wifi connectivity: If smartphone control or app-based cleaning cycles are an important part of using your robot vacuum, I would strongly recommend the 675 over the 614. Wifi connectivity allows for scheduled cleaning cycles and other in-app settings that simply are not available with the Roomba 614.

Longer run time: The 675 can run up to 30 minutes longer than the Roomba 614. Since neither of these models have Recharge & Resume, it becomes even more critical to have a longer initial run time.

Good cleaning performance: Like the 614, the Roomba 675 had solid cleaning performance across the board, especially at this price range. While it’s not as good as the more advanced Roomba models, it’s more than serviceable for most homes.
