A solid improvement to the Roomba — by far my favorite robotic vacuum! I purchased the Roomba 980 as my 5th robotic vacuum (I’ve previously owned the Roomba 880, Neato BotVac 65, Roomba 655, Neato XV-11, and a few more). Long story short, this is by far the best robotic vacuum cleaner I’ve ever used, and I highly recommend it if you can stomach the price. You are getting a robot that’s second to none in terms of cleaning power, navigational finesse, and ease-of-maintenance. I’ve been composing a long running review of this robot, and here’s 2 weeks worth of detailed observations:Appearance and Physical Design: • The AeroForce bin latch is sturdier than the 880’s design. The latch has more travel length and it’s a lot easier to remove the bin and more importantly, replace it and feel it “click in”. 4 months into using the 880, that’s the #1 wear and tear on my Roomba. The bin after 100 daily emptyings feels flimsy and doesn’t seem to consistently click back in. This bin seems like it will last longer • The new…
Still Doesn’t Do Black Carpet My home has been cleaned by robots for a while (this is my third Roomba), so I am familiar with their needs. They cut down on cleaning considerably. I’ll go into that a little more later. I want to point out a few things about this particular Roomba for people considering an upgrade first.Black Carpet Still a No Go:This Roomba still WILL NOT vacuum black carpet. The cliff sensors are exactly the same as the older Roombas. You can modify them easily, but how hard can it be to fix that? My carpet (pictured) is geometric and I have had to modify ever single Roomba. The covers usually pop off or get pushed after a month and you have to fiddle with it. As smart as this Roomba is, there should be an option to completely disable the cliff sensors. I have a one story house. I don’t need them. I do need my black carpet vacuumed.I haven’t seen this mentioned in any review thus far. I was hoping it wasn’t a problem anymore, because it’s been a major…
Very smart, decent battery life, and great for maintaining your already-clean floors. I’ve always kind-of wanted a Roomba, but the ones I had seen in person seemed underpowered, and weren’t able to do much for very long without needing a charge. The sort of thing that would be brilliant for a single person in a small studio apartment, but never something you’d have in anything larger.The specs on the 980 looked impressive, so I gave it a shot.Setting the Roomba up was pretty simple. Plug the base in, set the Roomba on it, and press “Clean” when you want it to. Setting the Roomba up with a mobile app is totally optional, but definitely worth doing. The wireless setup on my iPhone was pretty straightforward for someone used to “Switch to your settings, pick the ad-hoc wifi network, switch back, switch back again…” setup, but I can see how it could become frustrating for a lot of people. A good example here is entering the wi-fi password wrong — the app doesn’t say “Your password is wrong. Want to try again?” It just…
