The Roomba 650 is iRobot’s entry-level robot vacuum cleaner and our recommendation for home owners, who don’t have to deal with allergies.

If you are a home owner, have pets, don’t suffer from allergies and are looking for great value for the money, this is your perfect choice. It’s definitely one of the best robot vacuums that we’ve ever tested.

Our overall recommendation is based on how close the reviewed model is to the best tested, which is the iRobot Roomba 880 Vacuum Cleaning Robot till today. This is, like everything else on this website of course, based on our personal opinion.

iRobot Roomba 650 Vacuum Cleaning Robot For Pets – Our best for the money.

Robot vacuum cleaners seem to dominate the market these days. I’m a bit of a clean floor fanatic, so I regularly browse the internet and the vacuum cleaner section at home and department stores to keep up with the latest technologies. Neato has robotic vacuum cleaners for picking up pet hair, Bobsweep has the Bobsweep Robotic Vacuum Cleaner (rouge) (click the link to check out the review) and there are many, many more. Make sure to check out our Review section, if you are really into robot vacuums.

However, the iRobot Roomba 650 Vacuum Cleaning Robot For Pets is an advanced robot vacuum cleaner model that comes with several features designed to make life especially with shedding pets easier. I also reviewed the previous model, which is the iRobot Roomba 630 Vacuum Cleaning Robot For Pets. Both are definitely great vacuums and very good at picking up pet hair, but they both do not have special air filters to seal all they picks up properly. You probably won’t feel a difference, if you don’t have allergies, if you do you might want to check out the next level model, iRobot Roomba 770 Vacuum Cleaning Robot For Pets And Allergies that has Dual HEPA Filters.

Why iRobot Roomba?

When you buy a new television or other piece of equipment, you consider all of the other things that the manufacturer offers, too. A robotic vacuum cleaner is certainly no different. iRobot, the maker of Roombas, is also the creator of numerous other technologies that help people all over the world. They create communications products and software to keep families connected across oceans, they create robots designed to help SWAT teams safely diffuse bombs, and, of course, they build some of the best robotic vacuum cleaners available today.
iRobot is obsessed with being the best in terms of quality, and they refuse to release a product to the public until they know they got it right. These are American products created by MIT students in the college’s amazing Artificial Intelligence Lab. When you purchase iRobot products, not only are you doing yourself a favor, but you are also helping MIT live up to its name.
The customer service at iRobot is simply fantastic, and that’s really something in today’s day and age. They are available via email, telephone, and even live chat, so regardless of your communication preference, you will have no trouble reaching someone. If you prefer to resolve issues on your own before reaching out to support (like me), then you are in luck. The iRobot website boasts all of the user guides, FAQs, and even tutorial videos you could ever need.

Finally, I choose iRobot because I can fix these vacuums myself. There’s no need to ship my 650 off to some repair lab and wait six to eight weeks to get it back. Instead, I just contact the customer service team and ask them for my part! Thanks to their design ingenuity (and their awesome tutorial videos), replacing parts at home is simple, convenient, and incredibly cost-effective.

Roomba 650 – The new arrival

I’ll never forget the day that my new Roomba 650 arrived at my door. It was a bright and sunny Saturday, and not only were my dogs in full-on shed mode, but they’d had a particularly rambunctious day of being chased around by 11-year-old son, Logan, and had knocked over a potted plant that I kept on a stool in front of my picture window. Now, I had a hyper kid, two excited dogs, and a disgusting mess all over my living room carpet. As if by magic, I heard the doorbell ring and heard the delivery truck pulling away. There, on my doorstep, was my Roomba that I ordered after practically falling in love with my mother-in-law’s earlier model, the iRobot Roomba 630 Vacuum Cleaning Robot For Pets (click the link to check out the review). It couldn’t have arrived at a better time. Here was my second robotic vacuum cleaner, one that cleans not only everyday dirt, but also hard-to-get pet hair.

After sending the dogs (and my son) out into the backyard, I unpacked my new iRobot and pulled out the owner’s guide. According to the instructions, it was important to fully charge the Roomba before using it the first time. This was a bit of a bummer since I had a giant mess all over the floor and I really wanted to clean it up. While I thought about retrieving Bob from the upper level of my home, I decided to just go outside and leave the mess alone. The Roomba 650 robot vacuum for pet hair had a nice test ahead of it, and I really wanted to make sure that it could do the job. While it charged, I went outside to play with my son, Logan, and the dogs.

A little while later, Logan decided he’d had enough. The dogs were tired, too, so we all came inside and had a drink of water. I gathered around the Roomba with my son and my daughter, Cassie, and we were all pretty excited to see what it could do. After all, by this time, we were all tired of the hair, Logan was starting to sneeze, and the pile of dirt in front of my picture window was infuriating my self-diagnosed OCD. Smokey and Bandit had been walking over the pile for the last 10 minutes, and I knew that I was going to have a really hard time getting that ground-in dirt out of my carpet.

Roomba 650 – The Ultimate Test

Cassie wanted to do the honors of turning the robotic vacuum cleaner on for the first time, and I let her have at it. I had high expectations since my mother-in-law, Sue, had let us borrow her 630 and I was impressed with its performance, but the 650 was even better. A LOT better. In fact, I started to have doubts about Bob, which is my Bobsweep PetHair edition robotic vacuum that we keep on the upper level of the home. (Check out my review if you are interested). Bob does a great job, but I quickly discovered that my new Roomba had him beat.

The Roomba 650 moved in a zig-zag pattern across the floor – something that Bob doesn’t do. According to iRobot, it does this to make sure that every square inch of accessible flooring is covered. I was thankful for this, because with dogs and kids running around, there is always something on the floor. Popcorn, candy and pieces of things that I could only imagine were the remains of dog toys were always underfoot. The little, quiet Roomba made short work of these, but the real test was yet to come.

As we watched, it expertly went under the sofa and under the chairs before making its way to the front of the room and the ground-in soil by the picture window. Now, I didn’t expect much at this point because even my large and cumbersome manual vacuum cleaner had a hard time with messes like this. We were all shocked when the zig-zagging Roomba rolled right over that dirt and effortlessly picked it up. The Roomba 650 kept right on going, and both Cassie and Logan looked at me with a smile that said, “Our lives are about to get much easier.” (They are responsible for vacuuming the living room once a week.)

Surprising Results

By the time the little gadget was finished, there was not a single speck of food, dirt, or dog hair left on my living room floor. How in the world it managed to pull it off, I’ll never know, but I’m guessing that the super powerful brushes had something to do with it. That wasn’t the end of our experiment, though. The reason I purchased the 650 over the 630 was the seven-day programming capability, after all, and I wanted to see it in action. After reading through the manual and pressing a few quick buttons, I successfully programmed my iRobot Roomba 650 robotic vacuum cleaner to work its way around my living room each night after the family is in bed. The only thing left to do was wait for the results.

The next day, Sunday, my husband, children, dogs and I went out in the yard to do some necessary gardening. Of course, we managed to track in plenty of grime, but I left it alone once again because I was curious to see if the Roomba 650 would do its job. The next morning, Monday, I awoke before everyone else to start some coffee and breakfast. The living room was absolutely perfect. Not even an iota of dirt or hair was anywhere to be found, and the Roomba was quietly nested in its dock, sleeping. I knew then that I’d made the right choice, and even though I felt Bob and I had a special relationship, the Roomba was my soul mate. It still takes up residence in a tucked-away corner of the living room, ready to clean up whatever messes my children, my dogs, and even my husband leave behind. Whenever I’m asked which of the automatic pet vacuum cleaners I like best, I always recommend the iRobot Roomba 650 robotic vacuum cleaner. It does a better job than anything else I’ve tried in my house, yet.

Roomba 650 Comparison

Roomba 650 vs. 630

I wasn’t able to see much difference in cleaning results between these two vacuums. They both come with the AeroVac Series I cleaning system, the AeroVac Filter and Dirt Detect Series I. They both do not have HEPA filters, which is why we don’t recommend those for anyone with allergies.

The only real difference is that the 650 has scheduling capablities, which means you are able to program it up to seven days in advance for automatic cleaning. Both models come with one virtual wall. Check out this video, it’s a really cool feature.

Roomba 650 vs. 770

The 650 is a very good robot vacuum even when it coms to picking up pet hair, but if you have allergies, I recommend choosing the Roomba 770, because of its HEPA filters.. Check out my full review: iRobot Roomba 770 Vacuum Cleaning Robot For Pets Allergies.

The 770 comes with the same features as the 650 plus Full Bin Indicator. There is a little light letting you know when the bin is full, and while I believe that the 650 is the best value for my money, there are times when I wish it had the Full Bin Indicator. It makes things so much easier.

It also comes with two Virtual Walls (explainer video above) to make it easier to block areas in your house and makes every Roomba pass more efficient than before.

Besides the HEPA filters, we like the advanced cleaning system a lot. It isn’t worlds apart from the 650, but when it comes to picking up pet hair you simply can’t go wrong with the best available or at least affordable.

The 770 costs about $100 more than the 650, and if you have pets or allergies and have to buy a new robot vacuum, we recommend getting the 770. If you already have the 650 and don’t have allergies, keep it, unless you really feel like you want to upgrade. If you do, make sure to check out my review of the Roomba 880 before deciding to buy the Roomba 770.
