Robot vacuums remove pet hair, lint, and dust from floors before it can settle. They can also stay clear of obstacles such as furniture that is slippery and stairs.

Roomba 960 by iRobot

The iRobot Roomba 980, the latest in a series of top-of-the-line robot vacuums, is an essential for nearest any modern home. This model comes with a HEPA filter that can help those who are allergic. Additionally, it also has a powerful battery which can clean for up to two hours, and it automatically returns to its dock once its bin is full.

It also comes with a feature called smart mapping that uses multiple sensors to help determine the areas in your home that need attention and create a cleaning path around them. We've seen this technology in action and it does a great job of maneuvering around toys that have been placed on the floor, or furniture legs that stick out of the ground. It also has a camera sensor that snaps the Roomba back to the real world when it begins to drift away from its original location.

iRobot also added an additional set of rollers beneath the Roomba that don't have bristles, and are therefore more likely to withstand tangles than previous models. They are also taller and can be placed under beds or couches that are low. They're specifically designed to make this model more movable on various kinds of floors.

What sets the Roomba 980 apart from other models of this class, though, is its inclusion of a new dirt detection feature that uses a camera to spot particles of dirt embedded. This is a nice improvement over the previous model, that relied on the sensor-driven pseudorandom cover method to bounce around the room and clean it at minimum three times from various angles.

The Roomba 980 performed well in our tests on carpets and hard floors. Its score on the low pile carpet was excellent and it got a very good 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.

The Roomba 980 is still one of the top performing robots we've reviewed despite the slight limitations. It's also less expensive than other top-of-the-line models. It's still packed with a variety of features that we'd like to see in a flagship model however it lacks all the fancy app-enabled functions or smart home integration that you'll find in other top models.

The iRobot Roomba is easy to set up and start up and running immediately. After removing the pull tab for the battery and yellow bin insert from undercarriage, all that you need to do is plug it into its Home Base docking station or a wall socket, hit its big "Clean" button, Nearest and let it go to work. It will automatically return to its dock when the battery runs out or it's full of debris. It also has indicators at the top to indicate when its bin is full or it needs to be recharged, or its Wi-Fi signal has gone out.
