iRobot Roomba 980

The iRobot Roomba 980 is the latest in the series of top-of-the-line best robot vacuum for dog hair vacuum cleaners that are a staple of any modern household. This model has seriously strong suction and an HEPA filter that'll help anyone concerned about allergies. It also comes with an extremely powerful battery that can clean for two hours and returns to its dock automatically once the bin is full.

Smart mapping is a different feature that assists in identifying areas in your home that require attention and creates a path for cleaning around them. This technology is very effective in navigating toys left on the floor, or furniture legs sticking out underneath things. It also has a camera that can snap the Roomba back to reality when it starts to drift from its intended location.

iRobot has also added a new set of rollers under the bottom of the Roomba that don't have bristles and therefore tend to resist tangles more than previous models. They're also a bit higher than the older rollers and can better fit under beds and couches with low sides and are designed to help this model navigate more easily across different floor kinds.

What sets the Roomba 980 apart from other models of this class however, is its integration of the new dirt detection feature that uses cameras to detect bits of embedded dirt. This is an improvement over the previous model that relied on a sensor-driven pseudorandom cover method to bounce around the room and scrub the entire area three times at various angles.

In our tests of its performance it was found that the Roomba 980 did well on carpets and hard flooring. It scored very well on carpets with low pile and on mid-pile. It did a fair job of removing pet hair, but it had a difficult time with extremely thick and long pet fur that was stuck together.

Despite these slight limitations, the Roomba 980 remains one of our top-performing robots, and it's even nearly as expensive as some of the other top models on this list. It's still packed with a variety of features we'd expect to see in a top-of-the-line model, but it doesn't have all the fancy app-enabled functions or smart home integration that are found in other top contenders.

The iRobot Roomba can be set up quickly and is ready for use right away. After removing the battery pull tab and yellow bin insert from its undercarriage, all you have to do is plug it into its Home Base docking station or a wall socket, press its large "Clean" button, and let it go to work. It will automatically return to docking station when it is running out of battery or becomes full of debris. There are also indicator lights at the top of the bin that let you know the bin is empty, or when it is in need of recharging or when it loses its Wi-Fi.
