Product details

Effortless vacuuming at the touch of a button with the iRobot Roomba 980. Thanks to the three-step cleaning system with a rotating side brush and powerful suction, this vacuum cleaner robot absorbs large amounts of dirt, dust, hair, and other impurities from all types of floors. The rotating side brush reaches up to the walls, making corners easy to clean. Its compact design allows it to reach every angle, including under furniture.

You don’t have to worry about the charging process either, as the Roomba 980 automatically returns to its home base for recharging between cleaning sessions and resumes cleaning once recharged. Operating the Roomba 980 is simple: just press the Clean button, and it will navigate safely through the room using iAdapt 2.0 navigation technology. It reliably avoids stairs and obstacles while navigating through cluttered areas without damaging furniture. For larger spaces, it charges in between until the entire area has been cleaned.

The Aeroforce Performance Cleaning System combines vacuum suction power and dirt extraction for thorough cleaning. Its brushless construction is virtually maintenance-free, utilizing counter-rotating rubber blades to break down and lift coarser dirt. The airflow accelerator and vacuum suction provide maximum suction power and cleaning efficiency. Turbo carpet mode increases the Roomba 980's suction power on carpets and runners, delivering up to ten times more suction power.

The free iRobot HOME app for your smartphone or tablet with Android or iOS allows you to create a cleaning schedule. You can use your Wi-Fi to send the robot on its cleaning tour from anywhere. The app also offers setting options and statistics on the cleaning performance and condition of your Roomba.

Insgesamt zeigten die Testkandidaten, angeführt von LG recht gute Saugleistungen, wobei Ecken und Kanten nicht zu ihrem Lieblingsterrain zählen. Sie fahren teilweise sehr geräuschvoll (Dyson, Neato) über die Fläche; dabei rüpeln sie sich bisweilen den Weg frei und schieben Kleinmöbel etc...

Rank 2 out of 5Guter RatRoboter im Haushalt - SaugroboterReleaseAugust 2017

Das aktuelle Flaggschiff des Vorreiters arbeitet sicher dank visueller Navigation, geht mit Kabeln und Teppichkanten gelassener um als die anderen, bremst rechtzeitig und sichert den Raum mithilfe zweier Module, die eine virtuelle Barriere aufbauen. Auf dem Teppich erhöht Roomba die Saugleistung von selbst. App-Steuerung ist möglich.

Zurücklehnen und den Robo saugen lassen kann nur, wer die Wohnung vorher präpariert hat. Dann kann das Maschinchen seinen Job unfallfrei erledigen, während die Bewohner außer Haus sind. Wenn er täglich auf Putztour gehen darf, hält ein guter Saugroboter wie der Testsieger von Dyson zumindest glatte Böden sauber...
