Review on πŸ€– BISSELL CleanView Connect Roomba-style Robotic Vacuum, in Sleek Black by Joy Berry

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good robot vacuum, needs two upgrades

I've been using the Bissell EV675 for about a week now and it's still doing a good job. My wife and I have had the Roomba 652 for several years now, and while both do their jobs well, there are a number of significant advantages and disadvantages between the two. First, the Bissell is MUCH quieter than the Roomba. When my cats hear the start of the diamonds they wake up and run away. When Bissell runs, cats sleep right through the night. The remote control on the Bissell is very useful. You can use it to control the movement of the vacuum cleaner. So if he missed something or you want to go back to the same place, you can use the remote control to move the cleaner back to that place. The Roomba can't do that and I would have to constantly pick up and move the vacuum around. The docking function works much better on the Bissell than on the Roomba. When I lift and move Roomba and press the dock button, it just seems to wander around until it hits the dock. Sometimes it is not found. Bissell, on the other hand, seems to know where the dock is even if I pick it up and move it, even to a different room. Another big advantage is the battery life. The battery lasts three times longer than the Roomba. Roomba has 2 main advantages over Bissell. First, the Roomba has no problem transitioning from hardwood to carpet (unless the carpet is a very high pile). Bissell gets stuck and cannot move on even the thinnest of mats. The reason it can't go from hardwood to carpet is because of the brushes. They face down and get stuck under the rugs, preventing him from climbing over the rug. Another downside is that the brushes don't seem to be long enough, and if you look closely, they don't wrap around the edges very well. Overall I am very happy with the Bissell EV675. I wasn't aware that Bissell makes a robot vacuum and if anyone is looking for a robot vacuum I would recommend this product. While not perfect, it is VERY close.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Annoying
