iRobot Roomba 805 vs iRobot Roomba 650

iRobot Roomba 650 vs 805: Simple Robotic Cleaners with iAdapt Navigation System

iRobot knows how to make affordable yet effective robotic cleaners and the Roomba 650 vs 805 comparison will easily prove that. Both models are quite basic and lack features such as Wi-Fi connectivity, app control, and so on. They do, however, have a full suite of smart sensors, allow for a scheduled cleaning, have a 3-stage cleaning system, use the advanced iAdapt navigation system, and other technologies that help the cleaners operate more efficiently.

Suction and dustbin capacity

Because the 650 has a higher suction capacity (1000 Pa), it can pick up larger-than-average debris. Small debris, dust, and microparticles are no match for the 805's 600 Pa.

In the iRobot 805 vs 650 dustbin capacity comparison, the models are very similar. The differences in size between the cleaners are subtle, but the 805, as a larger model, has a bit more spacious dustbin (600 ml versus 470 ml).

Using area

It's unlikely that the units will be able to cover a large floor area for their price. Nonetheless, they are suitable for cleaning in small and mid-sized rooms. The 805 cleans a 1000-square-foot space, while the 650 cleans an 800-square-foot space.

Noise level

I couldn't tell the difference in noise levels between these cleaners when I tried to compare them by ear. So I used my sound level meter to compare the objective noise levels of the iRobot Roomba 805 vs 650, and the result was the same for both models: 68 dB.

Carpet cleaning

Before comparing iRobot 650 vs 805 carpet cleaning performance, it should be noted that the 650 is one of the few iRobot models that still uses bristle brushes. When it comes to carpet cleaning, it's noticeably less effective than the rubber tangle-free extractors used by the 805.
