Our Verdict

iRobot Roomba 675

bObsweep Bob Pro

The iRobot Roomba 675 is more versatile than the bObsweep Bob Pro. The iRobot is better built, is easier to maintain, and charges much faster. It does a better job of picking up pet hair, but it struggles more than the bObsweep when it comes to clearing fine debris on carpeted surfaces. The bObsweep also has a longer continuous battery life, a larger dirt compartment, and comes with a remote controller, so you don't need Wi-Fi to use it.
