Our Verdict
iRobot Roomba 675
iRobot Roomba i3
The iRobot Roomba i3 is a better-performing robot vacuum than the iRobot Roomba 675. The i3 delivers better performance on all surface types and uses smart pathing to maneuver itself more efficiently. It also has an automatic dirt disposal feature. Nevertheless, the 675 has a longer battery life and is more portable because it has a carrying handle.
