The iRobot Roomba 980 Robot Vacuum Cleaner Robot vacuums sweep pet hair, lint and dust off floors before they can settle. They can also stay clear of obstacles such as furniture that is unstable and staircases. robot vacuums require maintenance. This involves emptying the bin (and occasionally, rinsing it) and cleaning the cameras and sensors. They also need to be plugged in. Many come with smartphone apps for scheduling, setting up settings, and more. Roomba 980 from iRobot The iRobot Roomba 980 is the latest in the line of top-of-the-line robot vacuum cleaners that are an essential part of any modern household. This model comes with a HEPA-filter that will help those who are allergic. It also has a large battery that can be cleaned for up to two hours before returning to its dock automatically when the bin is full. Smart mapping is another feature that assists in identifying areas of your home that require attention, and then creates an easy path to get around them. We've seen this technology in action and it does a great job of moving around toys abandoned on the floor, or furniture legs that stick out from under things. It also has a sensor that snaps Roomba to reality if it starts to move away from its original position. 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 the previous models. These rollers are also taller and can be placed under beds or couches with low sides. They're designed to make the model more adaptable to different kinds of floors. The Roomba 980 is distinguished from other models with a high-end price tag by its brand new dirt detection feature that makes use of cameras to identify dirt that has been embedded. This is a significant improvement over the previous version, which relied on a sensor-driven pseudorandom coverage method to bounce around a room and clean everything at minimum three times from various angles. The Roomba 980 performed well in our tests on both carpets and hard floors. It scored extremely well on carpets with a low pile, and on mid-pile. It did a good job picking up pet hair however it struggled with the thick and long pet hair that was stuck together. Despite these slight limitations, the Roomba 980 remains one of our best-performing robots, and it's not even nearly as expensive as some of the other top models on this list. It has many of the features you would expect from a top model but does not have all the fancy apps or smart home integration that you'll find in other top models. The iRobot Roomba is easy to set up and get working immediately. 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 a wall socket, press its big Clean button and let it get to work. It will automatically return to its dock when the battery runs out or it's stuffed with debris. It also has indicator lights on the top of the device to indicate that its bin is full, it's time to recharge or its Wi-Fi signal has gone out.
