If you want a robot vacuum with built-in support for Amazon’s Alexa voice assistant, there are a few good choices out there. Roomba is obviously the best option if money isn’t a consideration, but money is an issue then some Roombas are priced well out of reach for most people. For example, the Alexa-ready Roomba 980 costs nearly $900! The iRobot Roomba 690 Wi-Fi Connected Robotic Vacuum Cleaner is a much more attainable Roomba vacuum with Alexa support, and today it’s even more attainable than it typically is. Amazon has a $50 discount on it right now, so definitely check it out while you can.
Here are some highlights from the product page:
- Clean and schedule from anywhere with the iRobot HOME App; compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant
- 3-stage cleaning system loosens, lifts, & suctions dirt
- Navigates under furniture and around clutter
- Built on the proven Roomba 650 robot platform, now with Wi-Fi connectivity and an updated design
- Cleans all floor types; includes 1 Dual Mode Virtual Wall Barrier to manage where your robot cleans
