A robot! That cleans your floors!, Cleans better than previous Roombas
Problems with obstacles, Noisy, Requires open area for base station
The Roomba, the automated robot vacuum, is more than just a great idea — it's an inevitable one. As technology progresses, it just makes too much sense to relegate simple, menial tasks to automatons. I have no doubt that one day, most homes will have robo...

Yes. The Roomba is like a maid, but its a better investment. Dont like to clean? Buy this Roomba. Are you busy? Buy this Roomba. Have pets? Buy this Roomba. The only downside is the price. This Roomba is $700, however, it is the top-of-the-line, newest...

Fast and zippy. The Roomba 880 is ready to clean your home like a beast. New AeroForce Extractors making cleaning up the Roomba 880 a cinch. New bin design traps dirt and doesn't fall out when emptying it into the garbage. New design is subtle but still f
Still as pricey as ever. The sidebrush could have used a little bit more of redesign besides a screw upgrade
The iRobot Roomba is back and it's better than ever. Instead of another incremental upgrade – the iRobot 800 series has upped the ante and turned vacuuming on its head. Ditching the traditional bristle bar in place of ‘rubbery' AeroForce Extractors fe...

Abstract: If you were to look back through the development of the Roomba over the past five years or so, you'd be surprised at how little the robot vacuum cleaner has changed. The Roomba 500 series had about a five-year run where it saw a few minor revisions but ul...

Powerful vacuum for its size. Can be controlled and scheduled to fit your needs. Brushless design helps prevent tangles.
Very expensive. Complicated home layouts require planning and accessories, or watching the vacuum and controlling it manually
The iRobot Roomba 880 is a powerful upgrade over the Roomba 790, but even though it sucks (dirt up) more it's basically the same robotic vacuum....
Yes. The Roomba is like a maid, but it's a better investment. Don't like to clean? Buy this Roomba. Are you busy? Buy this Roomba. Have pets? Buy this Roomba. The only downside is the price. This Roomba is $US700, however, it is the top-of-the-line, newes...
The iRobot Roomba 880 replaces its predecessor's bristly brushes with rubbery "extractors" as part of the new AeroForce cleaning system. This brushless technology removes debris better than previous iterations and keeps maintenance to a minimum
The bin is supposedly larger than in previous Roomba models, but it still fills up too quickly when you're dealing with dust and shedding pets. That, and it costs $699
The Roomba 880 is the most well-rounded, capable bot we've encountered so far, but the $449 Neato Robotics XV Signature Pro still wins the pet hair performance test on all flooring surfaces....
Abstract: iRobot is one of the pioneers of robotic vacuum cleaners and their latest Roomba 880 is their most advanced one yet, featuring their new AeroForce cleaning system and the latest iteration of their iAdapt Responsive Navigation technology. The new AeroForc...
Excellent navigation, Tangleresistant extractors and sweeping brush, Good suction performance, Two Virtual Wall Lighthouse devices
Pricey, Inelegant dustbin release mechanism, Only one sweeping brush, A tad noisy
Compared to its rivals, as the LG Hom-Bot Square, the Roomba 880 is a little down on cleaning modes as it offers only "Clean" and "Spot" mode. As you might expect, "Spot" tells the Roomba 880 to focus on cleaning a single spot; whereas "Clean" works like...

The biggest question of course is whether or not you actually need to have a Roomba 880 in your home. If you live in a studio or one-bedroom apartment, then it's a great tool to get your floor cleaned up when you're away at work. For larger homes you ma...
