iRobot Roomba 980

The iRobot Roomba 980, the latest in a series of top-of the-line robot vacuums, is a must for every modern home. This model is extremely powerful suction and a HEPA filter that can assist anyone suffering from allergies. It also comes with a powerful battery which can be cleaned for up to two hours and returns to its dock automatically when the bin is full.

Smart mapping is another feature that helps it identify areas in your home that require attention and provides an easy path to get around them. This technology is extremely effective in navigating around toys that have been left on the floor or furniture legs that are sticking out from underneath objects. It also has a camera sensor that can snap the Roomba back to reality when it starts to drift from its actual location.

iRobot has also added a new set of rollers under the Roomba's bottom that don't have bristles and therefore tend to be more resistant to tangles than previous models. These are also a little taller than previous rollers, and will fit better under low couches and beds, and they're designed to allow this model to move more easily on varying floor types.

The Roomba 980 is distinguished from other models of high-end quality due to its latest dirt detection feature that makes use of a camera in order to detect dirt embedded. This is a significant improvement over the previous version, which relied on a sensor-driven pseudorandom coverage technique to bounce around a room and clean it at minimum three times from various angles.

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 impressive, and it also scored a high score on mid pile too. It did a fair job of removing 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 top-performing robots, and it's even nearly as expensive as some of the other top models on this list. It has a lot of features you'd expect from a flagship model, but it doesn't have all the fancy apps and smart home integration you'd find in other top models.

The iRobot Roomba is simple to set up and get running right away. After taking off the pull tab for the battery and the yellow bin insert from the undercarriage, all you have to do is plug it into its Home Base docking station or an outlet on the wall, press its big "Clean" button and let it go to work. It will return to docking station when it runs 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, when it requires recharging, or when it loses its Wi-Fi.
