Design:
Roomba 980 is a stylish, yet sturdy robo-vacuum cleaning device that boasts ultramodern design and visually-stunning aesthetics. The futuristic device has a lean, disc-shaped body with a height of 3.6 inches that enables it to navigate across hard-to-reach spots such as under-bed and below- couch areas.
Performance:
The device, equipped with an array of optical and acoustic sensors as well as the Dirt Detect™ technology, automatically boosts its performance while working on high-dust regions such as carpets and rugs. These sensors further enable Roomba 980 to concentrate more on areas that require intensive cleaning and prompts the robot to clean them more thoroughly if needed. The robotic vacuum cleaner extends up to 120 minutes of high-powered cleaning and automatically docks to its turbo charging cradle under low battery conditions or when its cleaning job is done.
Roomba 980 has also been integrated with iAdapt Navigation Technology that helps it make up to 60 decisions per second and identify room contours, furniture, and accessories while cleaning. The robotic vacuum cleaner simultaneously builds a map detecting different rooms and intersections and keeps a tab of its cleaned and unclean areas.
