The iRobot Roomba 980 wyze robot vacuum Vacuum Cleaner

heavy duty robot vacuum vacuums eliminate pet hair, lint and dust from the floor before they can settle. They can also avoid stairs and other obstacles like furniture that can tip.

Most robotic vacuums require maintenance, such as emptying (and occasionally, rinsing) the bin, and wiping sensors and cameras. Also, they have to be plugged into an electrical source. Many have smartphone apps to schedule, adjust settings and more.

The iRobot Roomba 980, the most recent of a series of top-of the-line robot vacuums, is a must for every modern home. This model comes with a HEPA filter that can help those who are allergic. In addition it has a powerful battery that can clean up to two hours, and it will automatically return to its dock once its bin is full.

It also comes with a feature called smart mapping which uses multiple sensors to suss out 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 moving around toys that have been left scattered on the floor, or furniture legs that stick out of the ground. Roomba also has a sensor that will snap Roomba to reality if it starts to move away from its initial location.

iRobot has also introduced a new set of rollers under the bottom of the Roomba that don't have bristles and, therefore, tend to be more resistant to tangles than previous models. These are also a little taller than previous rollers and can better fit under beds and couches with low sides, and they're designed to let this model move more easily across a variety of floor kinds.

What sets the Roomba 980 apart from other models of this class Its main feature is the inclusion of a new dirt detection feature, which uses cameras to identify tiny bits of dirt. This is a nice improvement over the previous version that relied on the sensor-driven pseudorandom cover method to bounce around a room and clean at least three times from different angles.

In our tests of its performance it was found that the Roomba 980 did well on carpets and hard flooring. Its score on the low pile carpet was excellent and it also scored a good score on mid pile, too. It did a great job collecting pet hair, but struggled with thick and long pet hair that was stuck together.

Despite these minor shortcomings, the Roomba 980 remains one of our best-performing robots, and isn't even close to being as expensive as the other top-of-the-line models in this list. It still has a lot of features we'd expect to find in a flagship model, but it doesn't have all the fancy apps or smart home integration that you'll find in other top models.

The iRobot Roomba is easy to set up and start running right away. After you have removed the battery pull tab and yellow bin insert from its undercarriage, all you need to do is plug it into its Home Base docking station or an outlet on the wall, press its big "Clean" button, and iRobot Roomba vacuum let it get to work. It will automatically return to its dock when it is running out of battery or is full of debris. There are also indicator lights on top that show when its bin is empty, or when it needs to recharge, or when it loses Wi-Fi.
