The iRobot Roomba 980 Robot Vacuum Cleaner

Robot vacuums eliminate pet hair, lint, and dust from the floor before they can settle. They can also stay clear of obstacles like furniture that is unstable and staircases.

Most robotic vacuums require maintenance. This includes emptying the bin (and sometimes rinsing it) and wiping the sensors and cameras. They also need to be connected. A lot of them have apps for smartphones for scheduling, setting up settings, and more.

iRobot Roomba 980

The iRobot Roomba 980 is the most recent in the line of top-of-the-line robot vacuum mop cleaner robot cleaners that are an essential part of every modern household. This model is extremely powerful suction and it comes with a HEPA filter that'll assist anyone suffering from allergies. Additionally it also comes with a powerful battery which can clean for Auto Mopper up to two hours, and it will return to its dock once its bin is full.

Smart mapping is a different feature that helps it identify areas of your home that require attention and provides a cleaning path to get around them. This technology is very efficient in navigating toys left on the floor, or furniture legs sticking out underneath objects. It also has a camera that will snap the Roomba back to reality when it begins to drift from its actual location.

iRobot has also introduced a new set of rollers underneath the Roomba's bottom, which don't have bristles and, therefore, tend to resist tangles more than the previous models. They're also a bit taller than older rollers, and will fit better under beds and couches that are low and are designed to help this model navigate more easily on varying floor types.

What makes the Roomba 980 stand out from other high-end models Its main feature is the incorporation of the latest dirt detection feature, which uses cameras to detect particles of dirt embedded. This is a significant improvement over the previous version that relied on a sensor-driven pseudorandom cover method to bounce around the room and scrub the area three times, at different angles.

In our tests of its performance, the Roomba 980 did well on carpets and hard flooring. It scored extremely well on carpets with a low pile, and on mid-pile. It did a good job of picking up pet hair, but it had a difficult time 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 even close to being as expensive as some of the other top models on this list. It's got plenty of features that we'd like to see in a flagship model, but it doesn't have all the fancy apps or smart home integration you might find in other top models.

The iRobot Roomba is simple to set up and get working immediately. After taking off the battery pull tab and yellow bin insert from its 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 automatically return to docking station when it has run out of battery or is full of debris. There are also indicator lights on top that indicate the bin is empty, or when it needs to recharge, or if it loses Wi-Fi.
