The iRobot Roomba 980 Robot Vacuum For Stairs Vacuum Cleaner

Robot vacuums take pet hair, lint and dust from the floor before they settle. They can also avoid obstacles such as furniture that is slippery and stairs.

Most robotic vacs require some maintenance, such as emptying (and occasionally, rinsing) the bin, and wiping cameras and sensors. Also, they have to be connected to a power source. Many have smartphone apps for scheduling, setting and more.

The irobot vacuum and mop Roomba 980, the most recent in a line of top-of-the-line robot mop vacuum vacuums, is a must for any modern home. This model is equipped with a HEPA filter that can assist those who suffer from allergies. On top of that, it also has a powerful battery that can clean for up to two hours and it will automatically return to its dock once its bin is full.

It also has the feature of smart mapping which uses multiple sensors to help it determine the areas of your home that require attention and make a tidy path around them. We've seen this technology in action and it does an excellent job of moving around toys left scattered on the floor or furniture legs that stick out of the ground. It also has a camera that can snap the Roomba back to the real world when it starts drifting away from its original location.

iRobot has also added a new set of rollers underneath the Roomba's bottom that don't have bristles and, therefore, tend to resist tangles better than earlier models. The rollers are also larger and can be tucked under beds or couches with low sides. They're designed to make this model more maneuverable on different floor types.

The Roomba 980 stands out from other high-end models by its new dirt detection feature, which makes use of cameras to detect dirt embedded. This is a nice improvement over the previous version, Robot Vacuum for stairs that relied on the sensor-driven pseudorandom coverage method 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 extremely well on carpets with low pile and on mid-pile. It was successful in getting rid of pet hair, but struggled with long and thick pet hair that was stuck together.

The Roomba 980 is still one of the best performing robots on our list despite the minor drawbacks. It's also not as expensive as other top-of the-line models. It's still packed with a variety of features that we'd like to see in a flagship model however, it doesn't come with all the fancy apps or smart home integration are found in other top models.

The iRobot Roomba can be set up quickly and is ready to use as soon as you are ready to. After taking off the battery pull tab and yellow bin insert from undercarriage, all you have to connect it to its Home Base docking station or an outlet on the wall, press its large "Clean" button and let it go to work. It will automatically return to its dock when it is running out of battery or robot Vacuum for stairs becomes full of sand. There are also indicators on top that show the bin is empty, or when it is in need of recharging or if it loses Wi-Fi.
