Not cheap
One of iRobots newer line of robot vacuums which offers smart Wi-Fi connectivity with app support. Suction is improved on previous models, allergen filtering is standard and multi-surface handling is a big positive. Activate it using a voice controlled sm...
Abstract: It probably feels like nine out of 10 people you know already own a robotic vacuum. If you're part of the small percentage who haven't invested yet, let the Good Housekeeping Institute experts weigh in on your decision to get one.There are a lot of smart...

Good at navigating, solid set of smart features,
Abysmal at collecting pet hair, cleaning performance isn't as good as the top models
All in all, the Roomba 960 is a solid vacuum that navigates a little better than it cleans. It did fine in most of our tests, only falling short when it came to collecting pet hair, but it failed to impress overall, being overshadowed by a handful of othe...
Abstract: Vacuuming is one of the most loathed household chores. While it doesn't come with the ick factor of cleaning the toilet or the tedium of dusting, pushing and dragging a noisy, cumbersome vacuum is its own kind of torture. No wonder most of us only break i...

The iRobot Roomba 960 isn't cheap, but thanks to a mix of premium features and performance, it's the best high-end robot vacuum for the price...
Abstract: We're all busy in life, and it's the busy among us that iRobot has been catering to for years. Making a household name out of the Roomba brand, iRobot releases a few new vacuums each year, giving the usual upgrades and feature additions that we've all bec...
iRobot has certainly made a winner with the Roomba 960. At $200 less than the Roomba 980 it's difficult to argue with a product that's extremely similar in features and looks but has less power. It's this last part that's particularly important to note, e...
Smart navigation, Excellent cleaning performance, Can be remotely controlled, Automatically returns to charge station, Resumes cleaning automatically after charge,
Bit of a learning curve
If you can have only one robot vac (and you can shell out $700), let it be the Roomba 960. It's a fully-featured, Wi-Fi connected robotic vacuum that is a good enough performer to replace your "real" vacuum. It also recharges itself and keeps going until...
Hardly ever gets stuck, Confident navigation, Alexa and Google Home integration
Not the most powerful suction, Doesn't clean right to the edges
Overall, though, despite the slightly underpowered motor, the Roomba 960 is a solid choice. It's reasonably priced and although its suction power may not be the best it is packed with clever features and, most importantly, it hardly ever gets stuck. I've...
