Customers like the cleaning performance of the robotic vacuum cleaner. For example, they say it does a great job of cleaning, especially surfaces and edges. Some mention that the self-cleaning charging bin works great, and that it removes so much dust and dirt that they missed vacuuming. That said, most are happy with the product and recommend it to others.

Customers are mixed about the performance of the robotic vacuum cleaner. Some mention that it works excellent, when it works, and is powerful. The side brushes do a good job of gathering hair and leaving. However, others say that it wouldn't work, the mapping system doesn't do terribly well, and the wifi didn't connect with their phone.

Customers are mixed about the suction of the robotic vacuum cleaner. Some mention that it's fantastic, and doesn't get stuck. However, others say that it still finds places to get stuck, such as on high-pile rugs and in the transition spot between the body and the chamber.

"...Lastly, this leaves nice vacuum lines that give you that fresh clean feeling." Read more

"...I’ve taken this upstairs and the dog hair sticks! It picks up a lot! I have to dump after 1 bedroom. Carpet is gross!..." Read more

Customers are mixed about the quality of the robotic vacuum cleaner. Some mention it has really good suction and is great at picking up pet hair. However, others say that it starts to break down in less than 6 months, seems very cheap and flimsy, and would never finish a job.

No more ants marching in.
I have a 5 years old that leave crumb everywhere. Ants started to marching in and I can no longer keep up so I purchased this roomba 981 on prime day deals. And I'm writing this review after one completed job.Yes. It is loud but it doesn't bother me. I felt like my Dyson V11 animal is louder. There was definitely noticeable noise that startled my family members who didn't know that roomba was running. but they get used to it very quickly.I was so excited to get it today. So I sat down and watch the way it works. Big mistake. I was frustrated. But after awhile I gave up and go do something else. It is pretty amazing.This vacuum advertised to work in neat row. I didn't believe it until I saw marks on my carpet. (Attached photos). It left nice and neat mark on the carpet make the room looks clean. I love it.I'd say at first try. This vacuum has equivalent suction power as my hand held Dyson V11. The carpet feels lifted just like when I use my Dyson on the boost power. Pretty amazing there.One thing I didn't like is it fail to clean spaces under my cabinet. The little thing that I stick up i believe it is the censor prevent it from cleaning under the carbinet. Bummer! A lot of dust accumulated under the cabinet.It doesn't come with virtual walls like other model i saw reviews of on YouTube. It does need light to work but I can schedule a time for it to run using the app so I'm going try to have it run first thing in the morning before everyone wakes up. The features where it recharge and resume is a huge plusOverall, I'm happy with this purchase. I think it does most of the thing I expected it to do. It's not supposed to replace my cleaning person.
