The iRobot Roomba 980 Robot Vacuum Cleaner Robot vacuums remove pet hair, lint and dust from floors before it can settle. They can also stay clear of stairs and other obstacles, including tippy furniture. Most robotic vacs require some maintenance, like emptying (and occasionally, rinsing) the bin, and wiping cameras and sensors. They also require to be connected. Many have smartphone apps to schedule, adjust settings and more. iRobot Roomba 980 The iRobot Roomba 980 is the most recent in the series of top-of-the-line robot vacuum cleaners that are a staple in any modern home. This model is equipped with a HEPA-filter that will assist those who suffer from allergies. It also has an extremely powerful battery that can clean for two hours and returns to its dock automatically when the bin is full. It also has the feature of smart mapping, which makes use of multiple sensors to help suss out the areas in your home that require attention and then create a clean route around them. We've seen this technology in action and it does a great job of maneuvering around toys placed on the floor or furniture legs that stick out from under the furniture. It also has a camera that snaps the Roomba back to reality when it begins to drift from its actual location. iRobot has also added a new set of rollers under the Roomba's bottom, which don't have bristles and, therefore, tend to resist tangles better than previous models. automatic vacuum and mop robot are also larger and can be placed under low couches or beds. They're specifically designed to make this model more maneuverable on different kinds of floors. The Roomba 980 differs from other high-end models by its new dirt detection feature, which makes use of a camera in order to detect embedded dirt. This is a significant improvement over the previous version, that relied on the sensor-driven pseudorandom coverage technique to bounce around a room and clean it at least three times from different angles. In our tests of its performance in our tests of its performance, the Roomba 980 did well on both hard flooring and carpets. Its score on the low pile carpet was excellent and it scored a high score on mid pile, too. It did a decent job of picking up pet hair, but it was struggling with extremely thick and long pet fur that was stuck together. Despite these minor shortcomings, the Roomba 980 remains one of our most efficient robots, and isn't even far from being as costly as some of the other top-of-the-line models on this list. It's got plenty of features we'd expect to find in a flagship 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 in a matter of minutes and is available for use immediately. After taking off the yellow bin insert and pull tab from the undercarriage, it is simply connected to the wall socket or one of its Home Base docking stations, hit the Clean button and let it do its work. It will automatically return to the dock when it has run out of batteries or is full of sand. There are also indicators at the top of the bin that let you know the bin is empty, or when it needs to recharge, or when it loses its Wi-Fi.
