The iRobot Roomba 980 Robot Vacuum Cleaner

Robot vacuums sweep pet hair, lint and dust off floors before they can settle. They can also stay clear of obstacles such as furniture that is unstable and staircases.

Most robotic vacuums require maintenance, like emptying (and occasionally, rinsing) the bin, and wiping cameras and sensors. They also require to be plugged in. A lot of them have apps for smartphones for scheduling, adjusting setting and more.

The iRobot Roomba 980, the most recent of a series of top-of the-line robot vacuums, is a must for every modern home. This model comes with a HEPA-filter that will assist those who suffer from allergies. It also comes with a powerful battery which can be cleaned for up to two hours before returning to its dock automatically once the bin is full.

It also comes with a feature called smart mapping which uses multiple sensors to determine the areas in your home that require attention and create a cleaning route around them. We've seen this technology in action and it does a good job of maneuvering around toys that are left scattered on the floor or furniture legs that stick out from under the furniture. It also comes with a sensor that can snap Roomba to its real-world location if it starts to wander away from its original position.

iRobot has also added a new set of rollers underneath the Roomba's bottom that do not have bristles, and thus tend to be more resistant to tangles than earlier models. They're also a bit taller than previous rollers and are able to fit under beds and couches with low sides and are designed to let this model move more easily on varying floor kinds.

The Roomba 980 is distinguished from other models of high-end quality due to its latest dirt detection feature, which makes use of cameras to identify dirt that has been embedded. This is a nice improvement over the previous model, that relied on the sensor-driven pseudorandom cover method to bounce around a room and clean it at least three times from different angles.

The Roomba 980 performed well in our tests on carpets and hard floors. It scored highly on carpets with low pile and on mid-pile. It did a good job picking up pet hair but had a difficult time with the thick and long pet hair that was stuck together.

Despite vacuum mop combo , the Roomba 980 remains one of our best-performing robots, and isn't even close to being as expensive as the other top-of-the-line models in this list. It still has a lot of features we'd expect to see in a flagship model however, it doesn't come with all the fancy app-enabled functions or smart home integration that are found in other top models.

The iRobot Roomba is easy to set up and get up and running immediately. After taking off the yellow bin insert and pull tab from its undercarriage it is simply connected to an outlet on the wall or to its Home Base docking stations, click the "Clean button" and let it do its job. It will return to docking station when it is running out of battery or is full of debris. There are also indicator lights on top that show when the bin is empty, when it needs to recharge, or when it loses Wi-Fi.
