Having a robotic vacuum cleaner buzzing around while you get on with something else feels a lot like living in the future. Of all the technology we have – smartphones, tablets, Wi-Fi, electric cars – a cleaning robot is the one which will make you think reality has caught up with science fiction.

Review: iRobot Roomba 980 vacuum cleaner
Anything that promises to take the work out of vacuuming has got to be a good thing, right? Right! Not even having to push the vacuum cleaner around is certainly taking out the work. That is, of course, what the iRobot Roomba vacuum cleaner famously offers.
Pros:
- The easy way to do housework
- remote control with app
- finds its own way home to charge up
Cons:
- Somewhat limited bin size
- can get confused as to location

iRobot Roomba 980 Review
To that end, the iOS app works flawless and makes scheduling the IRobot Roomba 980 ultra easy. It also helps you maintain the vacuum, which in upon itself requires nothing more than a Philips head screwdriver.

pretty darn good
We have a 200 lb. dog (that sheds regularly) and a cat and it has changed our life. We used to vacuum 2x week to barley stay on top of the dust, dander and hair. Now roomba vacuums 3x week and the place look even better all weeks long.
Pros:
- very effective (mix hardwood/carpet

Nothing quite gets the dirt out like a skilled pair of hands, but technology is coming close to replicating that level of efficiency. And aside from the loss of jobs and small effect on the economy and unorganized labor industry, there are plenty of benefits of letting a robot do the dirty work.
