One issue is that the 980 doesn't come with a display or manual control. This is a major disadvantage for a vacuum which relies heavily on its smart features. Its competitions such as Neato's Botvac Connected and LG's RoboKing line provide more control options.

The powerful suction of this robot, its HEPA filter, and its battery life of two hours make it an excellent option for those with significant cleaning requirements. It has discarded the nickel metal hydride battery of earlier models to go with a lithium ion model, which should last longer throughout cleaning sessions and between charges.

IRobot's CarpetBoost feature automatically boosts the power of the brush for difficult spots. It can also make two cleaning passes instead of the standard single-pass. Virtual walls can be used to isolate areas that you want to keep clean.

WiFi and app support are common features. They let you schedule a recurring cleaning or set up other options such as a spot cleaning cycle.
