Editorial note

The iRobot Roomba 980 is a vacuum cleaner that stands out for its modern and sleek design, available in black and brown, seamlessly integrating into various interior styles. It offers a satisfying user experience thanks to its remote control, making remote operation easier. Additionally, its advanced three-stage filtration technology contributes to a cleaner and healthier indoor environment, while being compatible with different types of surfaces such as carpets and hard floors. However, some drawbacks must be considered. The lack of a HEPA filtration system may disappoint allergy sufferers looking to eliminate fine particles. Furthermore, the Roomba 980 does not have an automatic return function to its docking station, requiring manual transport after use. The capacity of its 0.6 L dust container may also lead to frequent emptying, especially in homes with pets. Finally, while the battery life is sufficient for short cleaning sessions, it may not be ideal for larger spaces, necessitating frequent recharges. In summary, the Roomba 980 offers good value for money, but certain points may lead users to reconsider their investment. The operation is generally easy, although the weight of 3.9 kg may pose portability issues for some individuals. It is a wise choice for those who prioritize design and functionality, but it is essential to take its limitations in terms of filtration and autonomy into account.
