Well, that's a bit embarrassing.

We recently moved into a carpeted house. Our old house didn't have carpets, so we didn't have a good carpet vacuum. Then I got this Roomba. Holy crap. It's like we've lived here for two months without a good vacuum cleaner! After charging Roomba overnight, I installed the app and connected it to Alexa (pretty easy if you're logged in to a 2.4GHz WiFi signal). Finally, it's time to check how well it works. I walked around the house and made sure there weren't any obstacles like power cords or…

Pros
  • iRobot does not endorse the quality or authenticity of products purchased from unauthorized resellers, and does not cover claims, provide service, or offer replacements for products purchased from these resellers.
Cons
  • Annoying

Reliable, not for everyone

Bought 981 to get rid of the hair on two of my Golden Retrievers. Solid little vacuum but it could be better. If you are a pet owner and you are looking for a robot that completely replaces your participation in activities, this is not it. If you're looking for a helper who vacuums on time and keeps things tidy between cleanings, then this Roomba might be for you. Pros: Suction feels good and the vacuum adapts well when going from hard floor to carpet. After completion, he found the base…

Pros
  • NIGHT ROW NAVIGATION - Cleans in neat rows in a targeted and logical manner, using floor sensors to navigate your home.
Cons
  • Incredible piggy bank

Powerful but NOT intelligent

Let me start this review with two clarifying statements: I received this as part of the Revain Vine program and currently own a Roomba i7 which I absolutely LOVE. Unfortunately, I cannot share that love with this 981. Here's what I think of Roomba's claims for this unit: 1. Strong performance and strong pick-up - definitely 5 out of 5. This vacuum cleaner picks up a lot of dust and dirt from carpets and floors, but there's one caveat here: the trash can is (in my opinion) not so easy to…

Pros
  • CLEANING DREAM TEAM - With Imprint Link, Roomba 981 automatically tells the Braava jet m6 to start cleaning when cleaning is complete.
Cons
  • Very Expensive
