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

Does a great job even though we have a dog and 2 cats leaving hair around the floors. A great time and energy save for me as I am working!!

Absolutely over the moon with my new purchase. My carpets have never looked cleaner, Monty as we have named him does the boring household chores leaving us more time to do what we want!!!

Firing up your robot vacuum away from home makes a novel party trick, but the Roomba 980 isn't worth its $200 premium without more robust control.

Easy to use; Good for pet hair; App controlled; Good mapping capabilities

App doesn't have a ton of features; Imperfect cleaning; Loud; Expensive

When the robot vacuum cleaner craze kicked off, iRobot was the name at the forefront, but I haven't seen many models from the firm recently. With the iRobot Roomba e5, the company is back on form, with a solid mid-range robot that ships with a battery-powered virtual barrier system to stop the...

Excellent carpet cleaning; IFTTT channel; Brilliant connectivity

Additional virtual barriers are expensive; Left deeper dirt on wooden floors

Not to be confused with the I-Robot book of Isaac Asimov short stories or the I-Robot film staring Will Smith, the iRobot (note the slight difference in the spelling) Roomba is a vacuuming robot. I have been looking at the 980 model of this product which has been cleaning my maisonette.

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.

Impressive performance; Has personality

Expensive

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.

Our Floor has never been cleaner, with not time on our hands we come home to a clean floor everyday. Best investment I've made in a while, Love this robot.

Gets Stuck

Completely random! Not sure where it's hoovered! Tiled floor looks clean but it does one patch,disappears to another room then comes back 20minutes later! Still unsure wether I like it or not
