Operating

Your Roomba 692 offers multiple ways to initiate and manage cleaning sessions:

• Manual Start: Press the large CLEAN button on the top of the robot to start a cleaning cycle. Press it again to pause, and once more to end the cleaning cycle and send the robot back to its Home Base.

• Voice Control: Connect your Roomba to voice assistants like Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant. Use simple voice commands such as "Alexa, ask Roomba to start cleaning" or "Hey Google, tell Roomba to go home."

The Roomba 692 utilizes a 3-Stage Cleaning System with Dual Multi-Surface Brushes and an Edge-Sweeping Brush to effectively clean various floor types. Its Adaptive Navigation allows it to move efficiently around your home, while Dirt Detect Sensors ensure dirtier areas receive extra attention. Cliff Detect technology prevents the robot from falling down stairs.
