What makes it the best?
A filter that protects (not only) allergy sufferers
The Roomba 980 comes with a high-capacity waste basket with an AeroForce filter. The filter captures even the finest dust and pollen particles. The full basket indicator alerts you when it's time to empty it.
You can control it anytime, anywhere. Just by pressing one button.
With the iRobot HOME mobile app on your smartphone or tablet, the Roomba 980 can be fully controlled remotely - anytime, anywhere. Sitting in the office? Just remembered you need to clean up at home? Just open iRobot Home and press the "CLEAN" button. Alternatively, you can program the day and time of cleaning for the whole week in advance and let the Roomba 980 take care of everything. The updated iRobot HOME (version 1.2) has a host of other useful features, including maintenance, technical support, instructional videos, and more.


Keep your home or office clean, regardless of the size.
The new, sophisticated iAdapt 2.0 navigation system ensures the perfect cleaning of small studio apartments as well as large spaces. With iAdapt 2.0, the Roomba 980 always knows its way around and can recognize furniture, obstacles, or entrance to another room.
It does not stop until it's done. The new Li-Ion battery lasts up to 4 times longer.
The high-capacity lithium battery allows the Roomba to clean up to 185m2 per charge and, compared to previous iRobot batteries, it has 50% higher capacity and 4x longer lifespan. When required, the Roomba 980 will automatically reroute itself to the docking station, recharge and continue cleaning where it left off until everything is done.


Dust and dirt in your carpets will be defeated with 10× more force.
The iRobot Roomba 980 reliably detects when it is on a carpet or a rug, and automatically engages the Carpet Boost to boost suction power of the new engine up to 10 times. Dust and dirt stand no chance.
50% higher efficiency when vacuuming anything from tiny specs to bigger pieces.
The iRobot Roomba 980 is equipped with one of the most important innovations in the history of robotic vacuum cleaners - the AeroForce three-stage cleaning system that increases the vacuuming efficiency up to 50% where it is needed. The AeroForce system concentrates the airflow into a narrow gap between rotating brushes, thereby accelerating it. Air filtration is provided by the AeroForce filter.


It cleans all types of floors and carpets, and even covers areas under furniture.
The Roomba 980 robotic vacuum cleaner will clean all kinds of floors - two rotating rubber brushes with special grooves reliably collect dirt from pavement, linoleum, wooden floors, and carpets. In addition, the clever design of the brushes ensures that dirt doesn't stick to them, which makes them are almost maintenance-free. The Roomba 980 robot is designed to fit even under furniture, sofas or chairs.
No dirt can hide from the Roomba 980.
The Wall Follow system ensures spotless cleaning along walls, furniture, in corners, or in other hard-to-reach areas.


Household full of cables? No problem for the Roomba 980.
iRobot has equipped the Roomba 980 robotic vacuum cleaner with ANTITANGLE to prevent it from getting tangled in cables. When the brushes sense resistance, their rotation is reversed, thus freeing the robot from the cable and allowing it to continue cleaning
It won't be stopped by doorsills or other protrusions.
The Roomba 980 can easily overcome transitions, doorsills or other protrusions that stand in the way of a clean household - up to the height of 1.6cm.


It will handle any job willingly.
After activating the SPOT mode for local cleaning, the robot will thoroughly clean a space of 1m in diameter. This mode is the perfect substitute for a broom and dustpan when, for example, you spill sugar in the kitchen, or when your doormat is a especially messy.
If necessary, it will increase the cleaning intensity.
The 2nd generation of the innovative Dirt Detect system detects excessively contaminated places using acoustic and visual sensors, and adjusts cleaning intensity accordingly in those places.


It goes wherever you want
The Virtual Wall and Halo features will keep the Roomba 980 in the rooms you want to vacuum and at a safe distance from the things you wish to protect. The virtual wall sends out an infrared beam through which the robot does not travel. The Halo function creates a circular 1.2m "no-go" zone. With these features, you can precisely define the cleaned area.
It stops safely before stairs.
Special sensors located on the bottom of the robot can detect free space under the robot in time to keep it from falling down the stairs. The Roomba will simply stop, turn and continue to clean with solid ground under the wheels.


What's the story behind it?
iRobot originated from the conviction of three founders (Colin Angle, Helen Greiner and Rodney Brooks) that robotics will one day change the world and the way we work, learn, cure or clean. Already in the first year of its existence, iRobot introduced the space exploration robot Genghis in cooperation with NASA. The big breakthrough came in 1998, when iRobot won a DARPA contract to develop and manufacture tactical mobile robots named iRobot PackBot. It was this versatile robot which was deployed by the US government during the rescue work after terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in 2001. PackBot was also used to map contaminated areas after the Fukushima nuclear power plant disaster in Japan in 2011.
In 2002, the first Roomba robotic vacuum cleaner was introduced to the world, and with it, iRobot became a part of our lives. Three years later, iRobot introduced the Scooba and continued developing new robotic assistants. Today, the iRobot portfolio includes several top-class robots that help more than 14 million people around the world in cleaning up their homes.
