Roomba 980 from iRobot

The iRobot Roomba 980, the latest in a series of top-of-the-line robot vacuums, is a staple for any modern home. This model is equipped with a HEPA filter that can aid those suffering from allergies. Additionally, it also has a powerful battery that can clean up to two hours, and it automatically returns to its dock when it is full.

Smart mapping is a different feature that allows it to identify areas of your home that require attention and creates an easy path to get around them. This technology is very effective in navigating toys that are left on the floor, or furniture legs sticking out from under things. It also has a sensor 360 robot Vacuum that snaps Roomba to its real-world location if it starts to move away from its original location.

irobot vacuum cleaner and mop has also added an additional set of rollers beneath the Roomba that do not have bristles which makes them more likely to resist tangles than previous models. They are also taller and can be tucked under beds or couches with low sides. They're specifically designed to make this model more adaptable to different floor types.

The Roomba 980 stands out from other models of high-end quality by its brand new dirt detection feature that makes use of cameras to detect dirt embedded. This is a nice improvement over the previous model, that relied on the sensor-driven pseudorandom coverage technique to bounce around the room and clean at minimum three times from various angles.

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

The Roomba 980 is still one of the top performing robots in our list despite the minor drawbacks. It's also less expensive than other top-of the-line models. It's still packed with a variety of features we'd expect to find in a flagship model however, it doesn't come with all the fancy apps or smart home integration you'll find in other top contenders.

The iRobot Roomba is simple to set up and start working immediately. After removing the yellow bin insert and battery pull tab from its undercarriage you just plug it into an outlet on the wall or to its Home Base docking stations, hit the "Clean button" and let it do its job. It will return to docking station when it has run out of battery or is full of trash. There are also indicators on top that show the bin is empty, or when it needs to recharge, or when it loses Wi-Fi.
