The Roomba 980 is iRobot's best robot vacuum yet

We have a ritual in my house. I bring home a random gadget, deposit it somewhere in my home and my wife asks me what it is, gives me side-eye and then ignores the gear until it is removed from the premises. With the new iRobot Roomba 980, however, she broke the routine and as I traveled, she quietly put the new robot vacuum to work.

IRobot’s robot vacuums have always been the kind of product whose inherent simplicity invites even the most technophobic to give it a try. You set the robot cleaning by pressing one big clean button. My wife likes that.
