I have a couch with just enough clearance for it to slip under but gets hung up and sends out an error of a stuck wheel. It would be nice if there was a way to put a riser (1/4 inch) on the bumper to give it additional height to keep it from clearing the couch. Also, the vacuum works great. So good in fact that the hopper fills up with debris much quicker than it completes the job. A nice feature would be a larger hopper attachment to allow the vacuum to complete it job. Longer batter life and faster charge time would be nice too.

I like the Roomba 980 according to cleaning but it has a couple of disadvantages I noticed: * Makes a lot of noise (more than older model) * So if for the noise you want to have it clean at night it gets lost because the camera is not infrared and there is no backup program (old Roomba) to my knowledge. It just stops because it cannot orientate. * Also I still cannot find the dust bucket in the Roomba but I'm sure that after reading the manual I will find it. But it's not logically marked. I would like to know from the manufacturer why they did not design or mark these things better.

This is the coolest product I have seen in a very long time. We've been using it for a couple months now. It covers a 2000 square foot space twice weekly and still is filling the collection bin with every run. It pulls an amazing amount of dirt out of the carpet and wood flooring. It's navigation routines are astonishing. It will start from it's base, run 90 minutes and return to its base to charge. It does that three times to cover the 2000 square feet most times without intervention. Great product.

2 Speeds so its high power. The other models under 980 is only one speed. This 980 works the best. But. You need to get a compatible replacement battery off a seller on eBay for longer running times. Higher power means battery needs charging a couple times to clean a room. So get a better battery and replace it which is simple. Get one with overheat auto shut off which is about $30.00 not the cheap ones for 17$ the 30$ ones run 4 hours at least.

We purchased a Rainbow vacuum cleaner in 1993. We keep our house floors very clean. We live in dusty part of Maui Hawaii. Weekly we know how much dust we collect with the Rainbow. This model of Roomba equals or out does our Rainbow. My wife is very picky about how clean the floor is. She says the Roomba is excellent. Of course it can't get everywhere but over all the 980 cleans every corner it tries to get into. We also had the opportunity to watch the Roomba 650 operate for a month but not at our house. The 980 cleans in a way more logical pattern so that at least it makes you feel it's getting everywhere. I could see the difference between the two Roombas features in how the 980 approached future, walls, and moving between rooms. I don't know if the person I purchased this 980 from is selling anymore but the purchasing process was very nice and easy. I guess the only question is how long will the 980 last. As long as our Rainbow? Only time will tell. Read full review
