The iRobot Roomba 980 Robot Vacuum CleanerRobot vacuums sweep pet hair, lint, and dust from floors before it can settle. They also can avoid stairs and other obstacles like furniture that can tip.Most robotic vacuums require maintenance. This includes emptying the bin (and sometimes rinsing it) and cleaning the cameras and sensors. They also need to be plugged in. Many have smartphone apps for scheduling, adjusting settings, and more.Roomba 980 from iRobotThe iRobot Roomba 980 is the latest in the line of top-of-the-line robot vacuum cleaners that are an essential part in any modern home. This model comes with a HEPA-filter that will help those who are allergic. It also comes with a large battery that can clean for two hours before returning to its dock automatically once the bin is full.Smart mapping is another feature that helps it identify areas of your home that require attention and provides a path for cleaning around them. We've seen this technology in action and it does a great job of maneuvering around toys that are left scattered on the floor, or furniture legs that are sticking out of the ground. It also has a camera sensor that can snap the Roomba back to reality when it starts to drift from its actual location.iRobot has also added a new set of rollers beneath the Roomba's bottom, which don't have bristles and, therefore, tend to be more resistant to tangles than previous models. These are also a little higher than the older rollers and are able to fit under beds and couches with low sides and are designed to help this model navigate more easily across different flooring kinds.The Roomba 980 differs from other high-end models by its new dirt detection feature that makes use of cameras to identify dirt that has been embedded. This is a significant improvement over the previous model which relied on an algorithm that was driven by sensors to bounce around the room and clean everything three times at different angles.In our tests of its performance it was found that the Roomba 980 did well on both hard flooring and carpets. Its score on the low pile carpet was very good and it also scored a high score on mid pile too. It did a fair job of removing pet hair, but it had a difficult time with very thick and long pet fur that was clumped together.Despite these slight limitations, the Roomba 980 remains one of our most efficient robots, and it's even far from being as costly as some of the other top-of-the-line models in this list. It's got plenty of features we'd expect to see in a flagship model however, it doesn't come with all the fancy apps or smart home integration that you'll find in other top contenders.deebot robot vacuum is simple to set up and start up and running immediately. After removing the yellow bin insert and battery pull tab from the undercarriage, it is simply connected to a wall socket or its Home Base docking stations, hit the "Clean button" and let it do its job. It will automatically return to its dock when it runs out of battery or is full of sand. There are also indicator lights at the top of the bin that let you know when the bin is empty, or when it is in need of recharging or when it loses Wi-Fi.
