Why Irobot Vacuum Is Everywhere This Year
The iRobot Roomba 980 Robot Vacuum Cleaner

Robot vacuums remove pet hair, lint and dust from floors before it can settle. They also can stay clear of stairs and other obstacles like furniture that can tip.

Most robotic vacuums require maintenance, such as emptying (and occasionally rinsing) the bin and wiping cameras and sensors. Additionally, they must be plugged into a power source. Many come with smartphone apps for scheduling, setting up settings, and more.

Roomba 960 by iRobot

The iRobot Roomba 980, the most recent of a series of top-of-the-line robot vacuums, is a must for any modern home. This model has seriously strong suction and an HEPA filter that'll assist anyone suffering from allergies. It also comes with a large 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 then creates a path for cleaning around them. This technology is extremely effective at navigating around toys that are left on the floor or furniture legs sticking out from under things. It also has a sensor that snaps Roomba to its real-world location if it starts to wander away from its initial location.

iRobot has also included an additional set of rollers beneath the Roomba that do not have bristles and are therefore more likely to avoid the tangles that previous models. They're also a bit taller than older rollers, and will fit better under low couches and beds and are designed to allow this model to move more easily on varying flooring types.

discover this stands out from other models of high-end quality by its brand new dirt detection feature, which uses cameras to detect dirt embedded. This is a significant improvement over the previous model that relied on an algorithm that was driven by sensors to bounce around the room and clean the entire area three times at various angles.


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

The Roomba 980 is still one of the best performing robots in our list despite the minor drawbacks. It's also less expensive than other top-of-the-line models. It still has a lot of features that we'd like to see in a flagship model however, it doesn't come with all the fancy apps or smart home integration that you might find in other top contenders.

The iRobot Roomba is simple to set up and get up and running immediately. After taking off the yellow bin insert and battery pull tab from its undercarriage you simply plug it into an outlet on the wall or to its Home Base docking stations, click the "Clean button" and let it do the job. It will return to its dock when the battery runs out or is full of debris, and it has indicators on the top of the device to indicate that its bin is full, it requires recharging, or its Wi-Fi signal is lost.
