iRobot Roomba 980

The iRobot Roomba 980, the most recent in a line of top-of the-line robot vacuums, is a staple for every modern home. This model is incredibly powerful suction and a HEPA filter that can assist anyone suffering from allergies. It also comes with an extremely powerful battery that can be cleaned for up to two hours, and return to its dock automatically once the bin is full.

Smart mapping is a different feature that allows it to identify areas in your home that require attention, and then creates a path for cleaning around them. This technology is extremely effective in navigating toys that have been left on the floor or furniture legs sticking out from underneath objects. Roomba also has a sensor that will snap Roomba to reality if it starts to wander away from its initial 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 previous models. These rollers 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 flooring types.

What makes the Roomba 980 stand out from other models with a higher-end price tag, though, is its inclusion of a new dirt detection feature that uses a camera to spot tiny bits of dirt. 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 scrub everything three times at different angles.

The Roomba 980 performed well in our tests on carpets and hard floors. It scored extremely well on carpets with a low pile, and on mid-pile. It did a fair job of picking up pet hair, but it struggled with extremely thick and long pet fur that was clumped together.

Despite these slight limitations, the Roomba 980 remains one of our top-performing robots, and it's even nearly as expensive as the other top-of-the-line models on this list. It's still packed with a variety of features that we'd expect to see in a top-of-the-line model, but it doesn't have all the fancy app-enabled functions or smart home integration you'll find in other top contenders.

The iRobot Roomba can be set up quickly and is ready for use immediately. After taking off the yellow bin insert and pull tab from its 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 return to its dock when the battery runs out or it's full of debris. It also has indicator lights on the top to indicate when its bin is full, it needs to be recharged, or its Wi-Fi signal has gone out.
