The iRobot Roomba 980 is the most recent in the line of top-of-the-line bissell smartclean robot vacuum vacuum cleaners that are an essential part of any modern household. This model is incredibly powerful suction as well as an HEPA filter that will aid anyone who is concerned about allergies.

It also comes with an option called smart mapping which uses multiple sensors to help suss out the areas in your home that require attention and create a cleaning path around them.

This is a great improvement over the previous version, that relied on the sensor-driven pseudorandom coverage technique to bounce around a room and clean it at least three times from different angles.

In our tests of its performance, the Roomba 980 did well on both hard flooring and carpets. Its score on the low pile carpet was excellent and it got a very excellent score on mid pile too. It was successful in getting rid of pet hair, however it struggled with the thick and long pet hair that was stuck together.

It still has a lot of features that we'd expect to see in a flagship model, but it doesn't have all the fancy app-enabled functions or smart home integration you'll find in other top models.
