iRobot Roomba 675 vs 677: iAdapt Robotic Cleaners with Wi-Fi Support
This Roomba 677 vs 675 comparison is intended to show the similarities and differences between two Roomba robotic cleaners. These budget-friendly cleaners have Wi-Fi connectivity, an automated recharging option, and standard AeroVac filtering technology. However, the Roomba 677 is a slightly newer model.
Suction and dustbin capacity
The suction power level of both models is basic: 600 Pa. This is sufficient to lift dust, crumbs, and other small debris off the floor, but the cleaners' suction power is insufficient to replace full-fledged cleaning with an upright cleaner totally.
The Roomba 677 has a dustbin that is 150 ml bigger than the one in the Roomba 675 (500 ml versus 350 ml). So, the disparity is extremely considerable.
Using area
When comparing Roomba 675 vs 677 using area, it should be noted that the models don't differ all that much. The 675 is a little better, being able to clean an 1800 square feet large surface. The 677 isn't far behind, being able to work on a 1500 square feet large area.
Noise level
Measuring the difference between Roomba 675 vs 677 noise level, I've noticed that the 675 is quieter: 62 vs 65. In practice, though, it's hard to notice and compare this difference.
Carpet cleaning
Both models use the original iAdapt navigation system that doesn't include carpet boost function since the cleaners just can't recognize the carpet surface. They use the same brushes, which are made up of a mixture of rubber and bristle. Rubber makes direct touch with the piles of the carpet, and the bristles loosen the dirt. So I can't pick a winner in the iRobot Roomba 677 vs 675 carpet cleaning performance comparison.
Roomba 675 Pros & Cons
- In extremely contaminated areas, the device can automatically boost suction.
- It works great at removing long and short hair on both carpet and hard floor surfaces.
- The cliff sensors work perfectly. You can rely on them when the bot cleans the room on the second floor.
- It comes without a virtual wall barrier.
- The cleaner's kit does not include spare side brushes, which must be replaced on a regular basis.
Roomba 677 Pros & Cons
- The cleaner comes with a dual-mode virtual wall barrier.
- Massive wheels allow it to transition from floor to carpet surface quickly.
- The Spot cleaning mode works just as promised.
- It takes a long time to fully charge (about 3 hours), which is a real issue when combined with the low 90-minute run duration.
- Sometimes, it fails to find the charging station and just gets stuck in the middle of the room.
