The iRobot Roomba 980 Robot Vacuum Cleaner
Robot vacuums take pet hair, lint, and dust from the floor before they can settle. They also can avoid obstacles such as furniture that is tippy and stairs.
The majority of robotic 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. A lot of them have apps for smartphones to schedule, adjust settings and more.
Roomba 980 from iRobot
The iRobot Roomba 980 is the most recent in the line of top-of-the-line robot vacuum cleaners that are an essential part of any modern household. This model is equipped with a HEPA-filter to assist those who suffer from allergies. It also has a large battery that can clean for two hours before returning to its dock automatically when the bin is full.
It also has the feature of smart mapping that uses multiple sensors to help it identify the areas in your home that need attention and then create a clean path around them. We’ve seen this technology in action and it does a great job of moving around toys left scattered on the floor, or furniture legs that stick out from under the furniture. It also has a camera that can snap the Roomba back to reality when it starts drifting away from its original location.
iRobot has also introduced a new set of rollers beneath the Roomba’s bottom that don’t have bristles and, therefore, tend to be more resistant to tangles than the previous models. They are also taller and can be tucked under beds or couches that are low. They’re specifically designed to make this model more adaptable to different floor types.
The Roomba 980 differs from other models of high-end quality by its brand new dirt detection feature that makes use of cameras to detect dirt embedded. This is a nice improvement over the previous version which relied on a sensor-driven pseudorandom cover method to bounce around the room and clean it at least three times from different angles.
The Roomba 980 performed well in our tests on both carpets and hard floors. It scored extremely well on low-pile carpet and also on mid-pile. It did a good job picking up pet hair however it struggled with the long and thick pet hair that was stuck together.
Despite these small shortcomings, the Roomba 980 remains one of our most efficient robots, and isn’t even close to being as expensive as the other top-of-the-line models in this list. It’s still packed with a variety of features we’d expect to find in a flagship model however, it doesn’t come with all the fancy apps or smart home integration you’ll find in other top contenders.
The iRobot Roomba is easy to set up and get working immediately. After removing the yellow bin insert and battery pull tab from its undercarriage it is simply connected to an outlet on the wall or to its Home Base docking stations, click the «Clean button» and let it do the work. It will automatically return to docking station when it is running out of battery or is full of trash. There are also indicator lights on top that show when its bin is empty, or when it needs to recharge, or clean if it loses Wi-Fi.
