I absolutely love my Roomba 980!! I actually don't know I've survived this long without it having three kids and three mini Australia Shepherd's in our house. It does amazing work and I'd buy another one in a heartbeat!

A little big norzing and quickly full

Absolutely brilliant; Took ages to persuade the Mrs that it\u2019d be worthwhile - now she wouldn\u2019t be without it; It\u2019s on every day \u0026amp; it\u2019s surprising how much it picks up

Pity it doesn\u2019t do stairs ;-

Though most automated vacuum cleaners are happy to bounce around your rooms, bumping into furniture like a drunk sleepwalker, iRobot's Roomba 980 is leading the pack in terms of vacuum intelligence.

Self-navigating; Self-charging; Two-hour battery; Environment mapping; App connectivity

Sluggish app control; Struggles over cables

Since the advent of smart AI-assisted speakers, the concept of smart homes has been widely adopted and even implemented around the world. The idea of leaving most household chores, even the basic ones, to a computer, has captured the imagination of people, unlike anything.

Who likes vacuuming I don't, and if I were asking this question to a crowd of people I doubt many hands would shoot up. Vacuuming carpet and cleaning floors is a down right mundane and repetitive task - so why not have a robot do it

Good good good, I bought 3 robots!

The iRobot Roomba 980 is one of the more powerful bots that we've tested. Regimented automated cleaning is impressive and this robot cleans well on a variety of surfaces - adjusting suction when it needs to - allowing it to deliver an efficient and effective clean.

Powerful cleaning performance; Easy-to-use scheduling and cleaning settings; Voice assistant compatible

App can be unreliable; Gets stuck more than other bots we've tested; Quite loud; Blows a lot of air as it cleans

We have the robot clean before we get up in the morning; In the end you forget it's there and it simply does a great job

Can get tangled if you leave and wires on the floor (e.g; PC wires) - so we have got into the habit of clearing these off the floor; Also the robot "eats" are newspaper in the morning if it is delivered before the robot does its work.

Does everything you need it to do, foes not miss spots usually, really helpful if you have a busy life. However, stops working if placed on a black carpet as it recognizes it as stairs/ fall , and officially no way to disable this sensor, frustrating because about 30 squares of my house is black...
