Editorial note

The iRobot Roomba 896 stands out with its sleek and modern design, featuring a round shape that harmoniously fits into any type of interior. Its remote control operation makes it easy to use, providing an intuitive user experience. Additionally, it ensures effective suction performance on various types of surfaces, whether carpets or hard floors. The rechargeable battery allows for approximately 60 minutes of autonomy, ideal for extended cleaning sessions. However, the Roomba 896 also has some drawbacks. The lack of an automatic return function to the docking station requires manual intervention for recharging, which can be inconvenient. Furthermore, its filtration system does not include a HEPA filter, limiting its effectiveness in capturing fine particles and allergens, an important aspect for allergy sufferers.
