Who should buy iRobot Roomba 981     •    If you have furry pets in your home or you have long hair, the Roomba 981 is perfect for you because its main brush is made of rubber, thus, making it resistant to hair tangling.     •    If you have carpets in your home, the Roomba 981 is an ideal choice because it can automatically increase its suction when it detects the presence of a carpet or areas with an increased concentration of dirt.     •    If you live in a large house, the Roomba 981 is suitable for you because it vacuums in a systematic pattern to clean your entire floor without missing a spot. It also has a relatively long battery life of up to 120 minutes, hence, can clean your floor at a single charge.     •    If you have a complicated floor plan and many furniture or obstacles in your home, it is an excellent choice of opting for a robot vacuum with mapping capabilities, such as the Roomba 981. Who should NOT buy iRobot Roomba 981     •    If you are on a tight budget, you might want to look for other robot vacuums, such as the Eufy RoboVac G30 that is cheaper but with the same or even greater capabilities.     •    If you have noise sensitivity, the Roomba 981 might annoy you, particularly if it utilizes its carpet boost suction. Verdict file:///var/mobile/Library/SMS/Attachments/62/02/F2D5AE1D-025F-4F17-AC3C-DD08E6D6654A/img-Faith-thumb.jpeg BY: Faith This is our verdict of the iRobot Roomba 981 based on several hours of research of reviews from both experts and users. Updated 15-04-2021 The iRobot Roomba released a 900 series robot vacuum which is supposed to be cheaper than its high-end predecessors. However, it is not that cheap if you compare it with other robot vacuum brands. The Roomba 981 is one of the top vacuums in the 900 series, as it has 10x more power than the iRobot Roomba 960. The Roomba 981 boasts its dual rubberized main brush that can solve one of the most common problems of robot vacuums: the hair tangles in the main brush. The use of rubber extractors makes it resistant to hair tangles. Like all products in the 900 series, the Roomba 981 uses the iAdapt 2.0 Navigation and vSLAM technology to help the robot vacuum navigate the whole area and plan a systematic cleaning. It also has a camera mounted at the top. The disadvantage of utilizing a camera for navigation is that it may not perform well when there is not enough light, unlike the LiDAR navigation system that uses sensors that work well even in dark rooms. The Roomba 981 may have a mapping capability but it is not smart enough like other robot vacuums. The map it creates doesn't have customization options like selective room cleaning, and virtual boundaries, and you cannot divide the rooms on the map. So, the created map is just a presentation of your floor plan. You can control the robot vacuum through the designated app and voice integration with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. The app allows you to set a cleaning schedule, view the map, view maintenance reports, adjust suction mode, etc. There are three power boost settings within the app: Automatic, Eco-mode, and Performance mode. The Eco-mode allows the robot vacuum to decrease the suction power and extend the cleaning time. It can come in handy if you don't need that extra suction power and want to experience less noise. Overall, the Roomba 981 is an excellent option if you are looking for an affordable Roomba product. It is one of the budget robot vacuums within the Roomba products, but it still provides great value and performs really well. It can pick up dirt from fine to large debris, making it perfect for dail POWERFUL PERFORMANCE AND POWERFUL PICK-UP Power-Lifting Suction delivers 10X the air power* for improved pick-up performance. Automatically increases suction to clean deep into carpets with Power Boost Technology. *(Compared to the Roomba 600 series cleaning system) IT WON'T STOP TILL THE JOB IS DONE Intelligently maps and cleans an entire level of your home. Patented iAdapt technology with vSLAM navigation actively captures thousands of precise measurements each millisecond to optimize coverage. NAVIGATES IN NEAT ROWS Purposefully and logically cleans in neat rows and uses floor tracking sensors to navigate your home. IDEAL FOR HOMES WITH PETS Unique Dual Multi-Surface Rubber Brushes don't get tangled with pet hair. Brushes adjust and flex to stay in constant contact with carpets and hard floors. High-Efficiency Filter traps 99% of cat and dog dander allergens. LEARNS YOUR LIFE Learns your cleaning habits to offer up personalized schedules, while Google Assistant and Alexa allow you to start cleaning with just the sound of your voice. The 981 will even suggest an extra clean when your area’s pollen count is high or during pet shedding season.
