The iRobot Roomba 980 Robot Vacuum Cleaner

360 Robot Vacuum vacuums sweep pet hair, lint and dust from floors before it can settle. They can also avoid obstacles such as furniture that is slippery and stairs.

The majority of robotic vacuums require maintenance. This involves emptying the bin (and occasionally, rinsing it) and wiping the sensors and cameras. They also require to be plugged in. A lot of them have apps for smartphones for scheduling, setting up settings and more.

Roomba 960 by iRobot

The iRobot Roomba 980, the latest in a series of top-of-the-line bissell robot vacuum vacuums, is an essential for every modern home. This model comes with a HEPA filter that can aid those suffering from allergies. It also comes with an extremely powerful battery that can clean for two hours and returns to its dock automatically when the bin is full.

It also comes with the feature of smart mapping, which makes use of multiple sensors to help it suss out the areas in your home that need attention and make a tidy path around them. This technology is extremely effective in navigating toys that are left on the floor, or furniture legs sticking out under things. Roomba also has a sensor that snaps Roomba to reality if it begins to drift away from its initial location.

iRobot has also included an additional set of rollers beneath the Roomba which do not have bristles and therefore are more likely to resist the tangles that previous models. The rollers are also larger and can be placed under beds or couches with low sides. They're specifically designed to make this model more movable on various floor types.

The Roomba 980 stands out from other models with a high-end price tag by its new dirt detection feature that makes use of a camera in order to detect embedded dirt. This is an improvement over the previous model which relied on an algorithm that was driven by sensors to bounce around the room, and then clean everything three times at different angles.

The Roomba 980 performed well in our tests on both carpets and hard floors. Its score on the low pile carpet was impressive, and it scored a excellent score on mid pile too. It did a good job of picking up pet hair, but it struggled with very thick and long pet fur that was clumped together.

The Roomba 980 is still one of the top performing robots on our list despite the minor drawbacks. It's also not as expensive as other top-of-the-line models. It has many of the features you would expect from a top model but does not have all the fancy apps and smart home integrations you'll find in other top contenders.

The iRobot Roomba can be set up in a matter of minutes and 360 Robot Vacuum is ready to use as soon as you are ready to. After removing the pull tab for the battery and the yellow bin insert from its undercarriage, all you need to do is plug it into its Home Base docking station or an outlet on the wall, press its large "Clean" button and let it get to work. It will return to the dock when it has run out of batteries or is full of debris. There are also indicators at the top of the bin that let you know the bin is empty, when it is in need of recharging or if it loses Wi-Fi.
