  • iRobot's Wi-Fi-enabled Roomba 980 is an exciting hunk of next-gen vacuum tech, but it didn't wow us during testing. I'd hold off on this pricey automated floor cleaner until we review Neato's Botvac Connected and Dyson's 360 Eye...

  • Extremely user-friendly companion app, Very good at finding its way back to its charging station, Comes with HEPA filters to grab errant dust particles
  • Often piercingly loud, Circular shape hinders vacuum from thoroughly cleaning corners, Not the best for pet owners looking to clean up fur
  • The Roomba 980 is manufactured by the original robot vacuum purveyors, but more competition has cropped up in this space since Roomba debuted. This vacuum has plenty of tread to make it over the uneven parts of your house, suction that can suck up all the...

  • Syncs to phone, Very intuitive navigation, Long run time, Automatically returns to charging station,
  • Pricey, Can miss some debris
  • The long run time and the intuitive navigation of the iRobot Roomba 980 makes it a great choice for those with larger homes or multiple rooms -- or both. It syncs to your smartphone so you can start it from anywhere...

  • Abstract:  Robot vacuums are becoming more and more common, and with that increasing popularity comes an increase in competition. There are quite a few big names in the vacuum industry, but not many are as well known as iRobot or Dyson, the latter of which fairly re...

  • Yes, the Roomba 980 comes at a premium. By comparison, there are view vacuums, be it canister, upright or handheld vacuums, that cost this much; $900. However, with it you get a vacuum that is capable of cleaning both carpet and hardwood all without damag...

  • Great navigation ability, good at cleaning carpet,
  • Expensive, app can be hard to set up
  • The Roomba 980 gave a good performance, but not quite good enough to justify its price, in our opinion. It may be the best choice if you have an extremely cluttered house, but it may just be easier to spread out your furniture and clear some space if you...

  • If anything having the Roomba around has made my house cleaner, and that's not just to say because it's sucking up the loose particles on the floor either. Because it forces you to organize yourself a little better I found that the last two weeks of us...

  • All of this comes at a price of course. At $900 it is not only iRobot's most advanced, but also its most expensive robot vacuum cleaner ever. As an owner of the 880, which originally cost only $100 less than the 980, I would have to say that if you are al...

  • Camera and location sensors make it far more intelligent, Cleans better than any other Roomba, App lets you schedule it remotely
  • Too expensive, Still needs to be charged constantly
  • The Roomba 980 is iRobot's best robot vacuum yet, but it's way too expensive for most people to stomach...
