What is it?
The Roomba 675 is iRobot's most affordable Wi-Fi connected robot vacuum — the entry point to the Roomba ecosystem with app scheduling, voice control, and 3-stage cleaning for small to medium apartments.
Who is it for?
First-time robot vacuum buyers in studios and small apartments who want iRobot reliability and app/voice control at the lowest possible entry price. Households without heavy pet hair (bristle brushes are sufficient for light debris) who want automated floor cleaning without advanced mapping.
Key specs
- Navigation: iAdapt 1.0 (random bounce)
- Cleaning: 3-stage cleaning (brushes + suction + filter)
- Brushes: Traditional bristle brush roll + side brush
- Filter: Standard iRobot filter
- Connectivity: Wi-Fi, Alexa, Google Assistant
- Battery: ~90 min runtime
- Price: $149 (launch)
- Origin: US
Best use case
The 675 is ideal for apartments up to ~1,000 sq ft where random navigation will provide adequate coverage over time. Its 3-stage system handles everyday dust and debris effectively. Scheduling via the iRobot Home app allows set-and-forget automated cleaning.
How it compares
The 675 competes with Eufy RoboVac 11S and iLife A4s at the same price point. The iRobot brand reputation, app ecosystem, and customer support are the primary premium over no-name alternatives. Upgrading to the e5 adds rubber brushes for pet hair; the 960 and above adds mapping.
Limitations
- Traditional bristle brushes tangle with long hair
- No mapping — random navigation
- No mopping capability
- Smaller dustbin than e5 or 960
- No recharge and resume
FAQ
Is Roomba 675 good for pet hair?
The 675 handles light pet hair adequately but is not optimised for heavy shedding. For pet hair households, the e5 (rubber brushes) or 960 (rubber brushes + mapping) are better choices within the iRobot range.
Does Roomba 675 work with Alexa?
Yes. The 675 is compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant for voice-activated start, stop, and dock commands.
What is the battery life on Roomba 675?
The 675 runs for approximately 90 minutes per charge on a single floor cleaning session. It does not have recharge-and-resume — if the battery dies mid-clean, it returns to base and the job ends.
Is the Roomba 675 still being sold?
The 675 is discontinued but widely available refurbished. The current entry-level iRobot with Wi-Fi is the Roomba i1 series.
Can Roomba 675 be scheduled to clean automatically?
Yes. Using the iRobot Home app, you can schedule the 675 to clean on specific days and times without manual intervention.
