Cleans good on hard floors. Not as effective as vaccum cleaners on carpet but still does the job. If your house is big then its not for you guys. Perfect for Small houses apartment etc I am satisfied with the product

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.

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

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

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

If I could rate this product with more than 5 stars I would. I bought my Roomba 980 when my maid quit without informing me (who hasn't gone through this experience!) And because I have a bad back I wasn't able to do the sweeping and mopping everyday.

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 close.

Excellent app; Surprising suction; Not afraid of cliffs - or more likely; stairs

Can't cut into corners; Shaken up by shag pile rugs

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.

I found this easy to set up and use. It does a much better and more thorough job than I expected. We have dogs, horses and lots of dust and it copes with it all. Floors much cleaner. I love it that I can set it going and go off and do other jobs. It is also great that I can check what it has done.

iRobot's Roomba vacuums have been around long enough now that they should really be running the world - or at the very least cleaning it. when they aren't spinning sick tunes anyway
