Most robotic vacuums require maintenance. This includes emptying the bin (and occasionally, rinsing it) and cleaning the cameras and sensors. They also require to be connected. A lot of them have apps for smartphones for scheduling, setting up settings and more.

Roomba 980 from iRobot

The iRobot Roomba 980 is the latest model in the series of top-of-the-line robot vacuum cleaners that are a staple in any modern home. This model is equipped with a HEPA-filter to assist those who suffer from allergies. It also comes with a large battery that can be cleaned for up to two hours, and return to its dock automatically when the bin is full.

It also has a feature called smart mapping which uses multiple sensors to suss out the areas of your home that require attention and then create a clean route around them. We've seen this technology in action and it does a good job of moving around toys placed on the floor or furniture legs that stick out from under the furniture. It also has a camera sensor that will snap the Roomba back to its original position when it starts to drift away from its original location.

iRobot has also added a new set of rollers under the Roomba's bottom, which don't have bristles and therefore tend to resist tangles more than earlier models. These are also a little taller than older rollers and can better fit under low couches and beds, and they're designed to allow this model to move more easily on varying flooring kinds.

What sets the Roomba 980 apart from other models with a higher-end price tag however, is its incorporation of the latest dirt detection feature that utilizes cameras to detect tiny bits of dirt. This is a significant improvement over the previous model which relied on a sensor-driven pseudorandom cover method to bounce around the room and clean the entire area three times at various angles.

The Roomba 980 performed well in our tests on carpets and hard floors. Its score on low pile carpet was excellent and it also scored a excellent score on mid pile too. It did a fair job of removing pet hair, but it struggled with very long and thick pet fur that was clumped together.

Despite these slight limitations, the Roomba 980 remains one of our top-performing robots, and it's even nearly as expensive as some of the other top-of-the-line models on this list. It has a lot of features we would expect from a flagship model, but it doesn't have all the fancy apps and smart home integration that you'll get from other top contenders.

The iRobot Roomba can be set up quickly and is ready to use as soon as you are ready to. After removing the yellow bin insert and pull tab from its undercarriage you simply plug it into the wall socket or one of its Home Base docking stations, robot click the "Clean button" and let it work. It will automatically return to docking station when it is running out of battery or is full of sand. There are also indicator lights on top that indicate when the bin is empty, when it needs to recharge, or robot when it loses its Wi-Fi.
