It didn't perform as well as the $700 Roomba 880 we reviewed in 2013. We also want to see features like a remaining battery life readout

Often piercingly loud
Circular shape hinders vacuum from thoroughly cleaning corners
Not the best for pet owners looking to clean up fur
App can be unreliable, Gets stuck more than other bots we've tested, Quite loud, Blows a lot of air as it cleans

Excellent app, Surprising suction, Not afraid of cliffs - or more likely, stairs
Can't cut into corners, Shaken up by shag pile rugs
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 c...

iRobot's Wi-Fi-enabled Roomba 980 is an exciting hunk of next-gen vacuum tech, but it didn't wow us during testing. I'd hold off on this pricey automated floor cleaner until we review Neato's Botvac Connected and Dyson's 360 Eye...

In a world where ordinary vacuum cleaners with a whole lot of suction power can be bought for well under Rs 10,000, spending Rs 69,900 on a cleaning device seems rather silly. This isn't the kind of home appliance that a lot of people can afford, but it w...
