Roomba is practically synonymous with robot vacuums, but what many people don't know is that there isn't just one definitive model. The line spans from the $375 Roomba 690 to the $900 Roomba 980. The $700 Roomba 960 falls somewhere in the middle, though obviously its price puts its closer to the high end. It shares many of the same features with the top-of-the-line 980—like a camera for navigation, a smartphone app with detailed cleaning reports and maps, and Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant voice control—but comes with only one virtual wall and has a slightly less powerful motor. That arguably makes it a stronger value, and one of the top choices for a high-end robot vacuum. iRobot Roomba 690 QardioBase 2 Health and Fitness Using technology at home to make you healthier just makes good sense.
