Design and Dimensions
The design of Roomba 675 is very similar to other Roomba units. It is round and it is black. It looks like a big cd player. The placement of the control buttons are also the same, in the center of the device with the brand logo at the bottom. This vacuum robot looks very modern and clean. It does not have a lot of fancy decorations or buttons. It only has a total of 3 control buttons, the Clean or power button, Spot, and Dock. The buttons are silver in color with a green outline on the Clean button.
The Roomba 675 is 3.54 inches tall and weighs 6.8 lbs.
Performance and Technology
The Roomba 675 is considered as an entry-level vacuum robot, a low-cost vacuum robot with enough power and some of its features are identical to more advanced and expensive Roomba units. It uses the same 3-stage cleaning system: loosens, lifts, and suctions dust, dirt, and hair from your hardwood, tile, linoleum, or carpet flooring. This robot vacuum also has a duo brush design–the Dual Multi-Surface Brushes and the Edge-Sweeping Brush. The Dual Multi-Surface Brushes grab dust, dirt, and large debris while the Edge-Sweeping Brush sweeps the debris away from edges and corners.
Aside from having two different brushes, the Roomba 675 is also equipped with Dirt Detect Technology that detects the filthy areas and will thoroughly clean that area by going back and forth until all the dirt, dust, and other debris is gone. iRobot also fitted the Roomba 675 with AeroVac filter to capture dust and particles that the brushes won’t be able to capture. And if you are scared about the Roomba 675 falling down, worry no more, as it uses the iAdapt Technology and other cliff and bump sensors that will prevent it from falling down the stairs or from bumping on the wall.
Power
When it comes to power, the Roomba 600 Series uses the same lithium ion batteries and the Roomba 675 is not an exception. It has lithium ion batteries and can run up to 90 minutes compared to the latest Roomba’s nickel-metal hydride batteries that run out of power faster. This device also automatically docks and recharges itself when its batteries are running low on power.
Like the other cheaper Roomba units, the Roomba 675 uses random navigation which means it moves randomly as it cleans. It does not have Imprint Smart Mapping Technology, a technology that allows the device to remember the layout of your home, nor a camera to map your home. While it does not have advanced navigation, the good thing about the Roomba 675, is that it supports wireless connectivity so it is compatible with the iRobot Home App and can recognize voice commands via Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa.
The WiFi feature allows more hands-free control with the use of the iRobot Home App which you can directly download to your smartphone and or tablet. You can also use the app to schedule cleaning sessions and monitor the vacuum robot as well.
