Roomba 980 from iRobot

The iRobot Roomba 980 is the latest in the line of top-of-the-line samsung robot Vacuum vacuum cleaners that are an essential part in any modern home. This model is extremely powerful suction as well as an HEPA filter that'll help anyone concerned about allergies.

This technology is very effective in navigating around toys that are left on the floor or furniture legs sticking out under things. It also has a camera sensor that will snap the Roomba back to the real world when it starts to drift away from its original location.

iRobot has also included the option of rolling rollers under the Roomba that don't have bristles, and therefore are more likely to withstand tangles than previous models.

What makes the Roomba 980 stand out from other high-end models, though, is its inclusion of a new dirt detection feature that uses a camera to spot particles of dirt embedded.
