The iRobot Roomba 980 Robot Vacuum Cleaner

Robot vacuums remove pet hair, lint, and dust from floors before it can settle. They can also avoid obstacles like stairs and other obstructions such as furniture that is tippy.

Most robotic vacuums require regular maintenance. This involves emptying the bin (and sometimes, rinsing it) and cleaning the cameras and sensors. Also, they have to be connected to the power source. Many come with smartphone applications to schedule, adjust settings and more.

The iRobot Roomba 980 is the most recent in the line of top-of-the-line robotic vacuum cleaners that are a staple of every modern household. This model is extremely powerful suction and an HEPA filter that can aid anyone who is concerned about allergies. In addition, it also comes with a powerful battery that can clean up to two hours, and it will return to its dock once its bin is full.

It also comes with a feature called smart mapping which uses multiple sensors to help determine the areas in your home that require attention and make a tidy route around them. This technology is very efficient in navigating around toys that are left on the floor, or furniture legs that are sticking out from underneath things. It also has a camera that can snap the Roomba back to its original position when it starts to drift from its actual location.

iRobot has also introduced a new set of rollers beneath the Roomba's bottom, which don't have bristles and, therefore, tend to be more resistant to tangles than previous models. They are also taller and can be tucked under beds or couches with low sides. They're designed to make the model more maneuverable on different flooring types.

What sets the Roomba 980 apart from other models of this class Its main feature is the incorporation of the latest dirt detection feature that utilizes cameras to detect bits of embedded dirt. This is a significant improvement over the previous model, that relied on the sensor-driven pseudorandom coverage technique to bounce around a room and clean everything at least three times from different angles.

In our tests of its performance in our tests of its performance, the Roomba 980 did well on both hard flooring and carpets. Its score on the low pile carpet was very good and it scored a good score on mid pile too. It did a great job collecting pet hair, but had a difficult time with the long and thick pet hair that was stuck together.

Despite these small shortcomings, the Roomba 980 remains one of our most efficient robots, and isn't even nearly as expensive as the other top-of-the-line models in this list.  robotvacuummops  has a lot of features that we'd expect to find in a flagship model however, it doesn't come with all the fancy apps or smart home integration that you might find in other top models.


The iRobot Roomba is easy to set up and get working immediately. After taking off the yellow bin insert and the battery pull tab from the undercarriage, you just plug it into a wall socket or its Home Base docking stations, press the "Clean button" and let it do the job. It will automatically return to its dock when its battery is out or is full of debris. It also has indicators on the top of the device to indicate that its bin is full, it's time to recharge or its Wi-Fi signal is lost.
