iRobot Roomba 980

The iRobot Roomba 980, the most recent of a series of top-of the-line robot vacuums, is a staple for every modern home. This model comes with a HEPA-filter to help those who are allergic. It also comes with a large battery that can clean for two hours, and return to its dock automatically when the bin is full.

It also has a feature called smart mapping, which makes use of multiple sensors to help it determine the areas in your home that need attention and make a tidy path around them. This technology is very efficient at navigating around toys left on the Floor Washing Robot Cleaner, or furniture legs sticking out from underneath objects. Roomba also has a sensor that snaps Roomba to its real-world location if it begins to move away from its original position.

iRobot has also included an additional set of rollers beneath the Roomba that do not have bristles, which makes them more likely to avoid knots than earlier models. They're also taller than previous rollers, and will fit better under low couches and beds, and they're designed to let this model move more easily on varying floor types.

What makes the Roomba 980 stand out from other high-end models however, is its incorporation of the latest dirt detection feature, which uses cameras to detect bits of embedded dirt. This is a significant improvement over the previous version that relied on a sensor-driven pseudorandom cover method to bounce around the room, and then 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 very well on low-pile carpet and also on mid-pile. It did a good job of removing pet hair, but it had a difficult time with extremely thick and long pet fur that was stuck together.

Despite these small shortcomings, the Roomba 980 remains one of our most efficient robots, and it's not even nearly as expensive as some of the other top models on this list. It has a lot of features we would expect from a top model but does not have all the fancy apps or smart home integration you'd see 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 battery pull tab from its undercarriage you just plug it into a wall socket or its Home Base docking stations, click the "Clean button" and let it work. It will return to docking station when it is running out of battery or becomes full of debris. There are also indicators on top that show when the bin is empty, when it needs to recharge, or if it loses Wi-Fi.
