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
Push alerts and third-party integrations added to the iRobot Home app
Great navigation ability, good at cleaning carpet,
Expensive, app can be hard to set up
The Roomba 980 gave a good performance, but not quite good enough to justify its price, in our opinion. It may be the best choice if you have an extremely cluttered house, but it may just be easier to spread out your furniture and clear some space if you...
If anything having the Roomba around has made my house cleaner, and that's not just to say because it's sucking up the loose particles on the floor either. Because it forces you to organize yourself a little better I found that the last two weeks of us...
All of this comes at a price of course. At $900 it is not only iRobot's most advanced, but also its most expensive robot vacuum cleaner ever. As an owner of the 880, which originally cost only $100 less than the 980, I would have to say that if you are al...
The Roomba 980 is iRobot's best robotic vacuum yet, adding Wi-Fi and app control for even easier home cleaning, but the price for convenience is higher than ever...

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...
Abstract: Forming the central unit of this product is the Roomba 980 robot. Circular in shape, just like every vacuuming robot I have seen, the Roomba robot has a diameter of 355mm and a height of 110mm including the heavy-tyred pair of wheels. Decked out predomina...
It'd be unfair to write off the Roomba 980 entirely. Between the seriously powerful suction, the HEPA filter, and the strong two-hour battery this is one of the best robot vacuums around for sheer cleaning - except in the corners where the round design wo...
App can be unreliable, Gets stuck more than other bots we've tested, Quite loud, Blows a lot of air as it cleans
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 effect...
