Expert review by : Matt Davis (digitaltrends.com)
The 650 has some operational quirks and you'll probably want a traditional vacuum available for certain things, but it's an effective and entertaining floor cleaning option.
Unless you’ve got a really small place with a lot of open floor space, you’re probably not going to get by with a Roomba as your only vacuum. But, it does do an excellent job of keeping high-traffic areas tidier between vacuuming, especially with small...

If you're looking for a solid helper around the house, you'll be satisfied with the Roomba 650. Granted, it doesn't have Wi-Fi connectivity — the Roomba 690 ($324) has similar capabilities, but adds Wi-Fi and can be controlled using Amazon Alexa — but...
Thorough cleaner ; Despite lack of app, easy to schedule cleanings on the device ; Its bristley brushes really do a great job of cleaning carpets
Not good at picking up pet hair ; Moves a little too aggressively when navigating around objects
You don't have to get a newfangled robot vacuum. iRobot's tried-and-true model is still a worthy worker for your home, and now it's sold at a discount.
Expert review by : David Wise (techgearlab.com)
Good for studio apartments, dorms, or a single room, but not great for anything else
Easy to use, inexpensive,
Struggles to pick up pet hair, below average at cleaning hard floors, single room only
While still a best-selling vacuum, it seems to us that the Roomba 650 has been outpaced by the increases in technology in other robot vacuums. It does an acceptable job, but there are many other types that will do a much better job.
Expert review by (which.co.uk)
The Roomba 650 is one of the latest robot vacuums from iRobot. At £350, it's cheaper than top-of-the-range Roomba models, but iRobot claims that you can still put your feet up and let it do all the hard work. To see how it copes on dusty hard floors...

I would recommend this product and would buy again as this was a good buy.
Item was ready to go out the box it cleans all surfaces well although at first it seemed that it's cleaning patterns were random as of late it seems to be more efficient in the way it cleans by now concentrating on a small area first before moving on
original accessories by irobot are expensive but compatible ones can be found much cheaper and as good.

We have a large dance room on the back of our home and this Roomba cleans it great. We also will bring it into our living room and it does a good job in there on deep carpet. We are very pleased

Consumer review (newegg.com)
I think its a great buy if most of the space is woooden, tile or vinyl. Also its great only if you use it regularly like at least 2 times a week.
Saves a lot of cleaning time ; Works great on wooden floors even with lots of pet hair ; Works ok on carpet
Works better with open floor spaces and furniture that sits high enough for it to go under ; Its not the most efficient in its movement across space ; Its somewhat ok on carpet as long as you dont have it very dirty say with pet hair etc
