iRobot Roomba 960

The iRobot Roomba 980, the latest in a series of top-of-the-line robot vacuums, is a staple for every modern home. This model is incredibly powerful suction as well as a HEPA filter that can assist anyone suffering from allergies. In addition it also has a strong battery that can clean for up to two hours and it automatically returns to its dock when its bin is full.

It also comes with a feature called smart mapping that uses multiple sensors to help it suss out the areas in your home that require attention and then create a clean path around them. This technology is very efficient in navigating toys that are left on the floor or furniture legs sticking out underneath things. It also has a camera sensor that can snap the Roomba back to the real world when it starts drifting from its actual location.

irobot vacuum cleaner has also introduced a new set of rollers under the bottom of the Roomba that don't have bristles and, therefore, tend to be more resistant to tangles than earlier models. The rollers are also larger and can fit under low couches or beds. They're specifically designed to make this model more maneuverable on different flooring types.

What makes the Roomba 980 stand out from other models of this class Its main feature is the inclusion of a new dirt detection feature that uses a camera to spot particles of dirt embedded. This is a nice improvement over the previous model, which relied on the sensor-driven pseudorandom cover method to bounce around the room and clean everything at minimum three times from various angles.

In our tests of its performance it was found that the Roomba 980 did well on both hard flooring and carpets. It scored very well on low-pile carpet and also on mid-pile. It did a good job of picking up pet hair, but it struggled with very thick and long pet fur that was stuck together.

Despite these small shortcomings, the Roomba 980 remains one of our best-performing robots, and it's not even nearly as expensive as some of the other top models on this list. It comes with many of the features you would expect from a top model but does not have all the fancy apps or home integration that you'll find in other top contenders.

The iRobot roomba robot vacuum is simple to set up and start up and running immediately. After removing the battery pull tab and yellow bin insert from the undercarriage, all you need to connect it to its Home Base docking station or an outlet on the wall, press its big "Clean" button and let it get to work. It will return to its dock when the battery runs out or it's stuffed with debris. It also has indicators at the top for when its bin is full, it needs to be recharged or its Wi-Fi signal is not working.
