This model is incredibly powerful suction as well as a HEPA filter that will help anyone concerned about allergies. In addition it has a strong battery that can clean for up to two hours, and it will automatically return to its dock when its bin is full.

This technology is very efficient in navigating around toys left on the floor, or furniture legs sticking out under things. It also comes with a sensor that can snap Roomba back to reality when it begins to wander away from its original position.
iRobot also added a set of rollers underneath the Roomba which do not have bristles which makes them more likely to avoid tangles than previous models. They are also taller and can be placed under low couches or beds. They're designed to make the model more adaptable to different flooring types.
The Roomba 980 stands out from other high-end models due to its latest dirt detection feature, which makes use of cameras to identify dirt that has been embedded. This is a great improvement over the previous version which relied on the sensor-driven pseudorandom cover method to bounce around a room and clean it at least three times from different angles.
In our tests of its performance in our tests of its performance, the Roomba 980 did well on carpets and hard flooring. It scored highly on low-pile carpet and also on mid-pile. It did a fair job of removing pet hair, but it had a difficult time with extremely thick and long pet fur that was stuck together.
The Roomba 980 is still one of the most efficient robots in our list despite the slight limitations. It's also less expensive than other top-of the-line models. It has many of the features you'd expect from a flagship model, but it doesn't have all the fancy apps or home integration that you'll see in other top models.
