The iRobot Roomba 980 Robot Vacuum Cleaner
Robot vacuums take pet hair, lint and dust from the floor before they settle. They can also avoid obstacles like stairs and other obstructions, including tippy furniture.
Most robotic vacs require some maintenance, like emptying (and occasionally rinsing) the bin and wiping cameras and sensors. Additionally, they must be connected to a power source. Many come with smartphone apps for scheduling, setting up settings and more.

The iRobot Roomba 980 is the latest model in the line of top-of-the-line robotic vacuum robot mop cleaners that are a staple in any modern home. This model is equipped with a HEPA-filter that will aid those suffering from allergies. It also has a large battery that can be cleaned for up to two hours and returns to its dock automatically once the bin is full.
It also comes with the feature of smart mapping which uses multiple sensors to suss out the areas in your home that need attention and then create a clean route around them. We've seen this technology in action and it does a great job of maneuvering around toys that are placed on the floor, or furniture legs that are sticking out from under things. It also has a camera sensor that snaps the Roomba back to reality when it begins to drift from its actual location.
iRobot has also added a new set of rollers beneath the Roomba's bottom, which do not have bristles, and thus tend to be more resistant to tangles than previous models. They are also taller and can be tucked under beds or couches with low sides. They're specifically designed to make this model more adaptable to different kinds of floors.
The Roomba 980 is distinguished from other high-end models due to its latest dirt detection feature that makes use of a camera in order to detect embedded dirt. This is a significant improvement over the previous model that relied on a sensor-driven pseudorandom cover method to bounce around the room and clean everything three times at different angles.
The Roomba 980 performed well in our tests on both carpets and hard floors. Its score on the low pile carpet was very good and it got a very excellent score on mid pile too. It was successful in getting rid of pet hair, but had a difficult time with the thick and long pet hair that was stuck together.
Despite these small shortcomings, the Roomba 980 remains one of our best-performing robots, and it's not even far from being as costly as some of the other top-of-the-line models in this list. It has many of the features you'd expect from a top model, but it doesn't have all the fancy apps or home integration you'd get from other top contenders.
The iRobot Roomba is easy to set up and start running right away. After taking off the yellow bin insert and pull tab from its undercarriage you just plug it into the wall socket or one of its Home Base docking stations, press the "Clean button" and let it do the job. It will return to docking station when it is running out of batteries or is full of sand. There are also indicator lights on top that show when its bin is empty, when it needs to recharge, or when it loses its Wi-Fi.
