It didn't perform as well as the $700 Roomba 880 we reviewed in 2013. We also want to see features like a remaining battery life readout
Push alerts and third-party integrations added to the iRobot Home app
The Roomba 980 is iRobot's best robotic vacuum yet, adding Wi-Fi and app control for even easier home cleaning, but the price for convenience is higher than ever...

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...

Cleaning performance, Remote access
Loud in normal mode, Multiple cleaning locations
iRobot continues to iterate on an already great robotics platform for cleaning your home. While there's plenty of competition for your dollars, its this continued investment in R&D that is delivering improvements to cleaning performance and robot intellig...
If you remember the rubbish robot vacuums of yore, the Roomba 980 is nothing of the sort. It will do your floor cleaning for you. A great little luxury if you can afford it...

The easy way to do housework, remote control with app, finds its own way home to charge up
Somewhat limited bin size, can get confused as to location
If you have a reasonably neat and orderly home, especially one with a single level, then the iRobot Roomba 980 vacuum cleaning robot could be a great addition. All that will be left for you to do (aside from emptying the bin, and doing the other required...
As far as robot vacuums go, the Roomba 980 is excellent. It cleans fairly thoroughly, looks great, doesn't make too much noise, and is super-simple to use. Suction or sense of direction might not quite match Dyson's all-seeing 360 Eye, but it comes very c...

Impressive performance, Has personality
Expensive
We still have to remind ourselves that Rosie exists sometimes. On occasion we'll twig that somebody is vacuuming upstairs but The Wife and I are both downstairs and we don't have a maid.It's almost annoying that she can't get upstairs on her own (yet) but...

In a world where ordinary vacuum cleaners with a whole lot of suction power can be bought for well under Rs 10,000, spending Rs 69,900 on a cleaning device seems rather silly. This isn't the kind of home appliance that a lot of people can afford, but it w...
