A Step-By Step Guide For Choosing Your Irobot Vacuum
The iRobot Roomba 980 Robot Vacuum Cleaner

Robot vacuums sweep pet hair, dust and lint off floors before they can settle. They can also avoid obstacles like stairs and other obstructions such as furniture that is tippy.

Most robotic vacuums require maintenance. This involves emptying the bin (and sometimes, rinsing it) and wiping the cameras and sensors. Additionally, they must be connected to an electrical source. A lot of them have apps for smartphones for scheduling, adjusting setting and more.

Roomba 960 from iRobot

The iRobot Roomba 980, the most recent in a line of top-of the-line robot vacuums, is a must for any modern home. This model has seriously strong suction and a HEPA filter that will aid anyone who is concerned about allergies. On top of that it comes with a powerful battery that can clean for up to two hours, and it will return to its dock when its bin is full.

Smart mapping is a different feature that helps it identify areas of your home that require attention, and then creates a path for cleaning around them. We've seen this technology in action and it does a great job of moving around toys that are placed on the floor or furniture legs that are sticking out from under things. It also has a sensor that snaps Roomba back to reality when it begins to move away from its original location.

iRobot has also introduced a new set of rollers beneath the bottom of the Roomba that do not have bristles, and thus tend to be more resistant to tangles than previous models. These are also a little taller than previous rollers, and will fit better under beds and couches that are low, and they're designed to allow this model to move more easily across different flooring types.

The Roomba 980 is distinguished from other models with a high-end price tag by its new dirt detection feature that makes use of a camera in order to identify dirt that has been embedded. This is a significant improvement over the previous model, that relied on the sensor-driven pseudorandom coverage method to bounce around a room and clean everything at least three times from different angles.

In our tests of its performance, the Roomba 980 did well on carpets and hard flooring. Its score on the low pile carpet was very good and it got a very excellent score on mid pile too. It did a decent job of removing pet hair, but it had a difficult time with extremely thick and long pet fur that was stuck together.

www.robotvacuummops.com/ is still one of the best performing robots in our list despite the slight limitations. It's also not as expensive as other top-of-the-line models. It still has a lot of features we'd expect to find in a flagship model however, it doesn't come with all the fancy app-enabled functions or smart home integration that you'll find in other top models.


The iRobot Roomba can be set up in a matter of minutes and is available for use immediately. After taking the yellow bin insert and the battery pull tab from its undercarriage you just plug it into an outlet on the wall or to its Home Base docking stations, hit the "Clean button" and let it do the work. It will return to its dock when the battery runs out or is full of debris, and it has indicators at the top for when its bin is full or it's time to recharge or if its Wi-Fi signal is lost.
