Robot Mop Vacuum vacuums nab pet hair, lint, and dust from floors before it can settle. They also help avoid obstacles like stairs and other obstructions like furniture that can tip.
Most robotic vacs require some maintenance, like emptying (and occasionally rinsing) the bin and wiping sensors and cameras. They also need to be plugged in. Many come with smartphone applications to schedule, adjust settings and more.
iRobot Roomba 960
The iRobot Roomba 980, the latest in a series of top-of the-line robot vacuums, is a staple for any modern home. This model has seriously strong suction and a HEPA filter that can help anyone concerned about allergies. On top of that it comes with a powerful battery that can clean up to two hours, and it automatically returns to its dock once its bin is full.
It also comes with the feature of smart mapping, which makes use of multiple sensors to help identify the areas of your home that need attention and create a cleaning path around them. This technology is very efficient at navigating around toys left on the floor or furniture legs that are sticking out from under things. It also has a sensor that snaps Roomba to reality if it begins to move away from its original position.
iRobot has also added a new set of rollers underneath the Roomba's bottom that do not have bristles, and thus tend to resist tangles better than previous models. The rollers are also larger and can fit under beds or couches that are low. They're designed to make this model more movable on various kinds of floors.
The Roomba 980 is distinguished from other high-end models by its new dirt detection feature that makes use of cameras to detect dirt embedded. This is an improvement over the previous model which relied on the use of a sensor-driven pseudorandom cover to bounce around the room and scrub the area three times, at different angles.
The Roomba 980 performed well in our tests on carpets and hard floors. It scored extremely well on low-pile carpet and also on mid-pile. It was successful in getting rid of pet hair, however it struggled with the long and thick pet hair that was stuck together.
The Roomba 980 is still one of the best sweep and mop robot vacuum performing robots we've reviewed despite the slight limitations. It's also less expensive than other top-of-the-line models. It has a lot of features you'd expect from a top model but does not have all the fancy apps or home integrations you'll get from other top contenders.
The iRobot Roomba can be set up in a matter of minutes and is available for use as soon as you are ready to. After taking off the pull tab for the battery and the yellow bin insert from the undercarriage, all you need to connect it to its Home Base docking station or a wall socket, press its large "Clean" button, and let it get to work. It will automatically return to its dock when the battery runs out or is full of debris. It also has indicators at the top to indicate when its bin is full or it requires recharging or if its Wi-Fi signal is lost.
