    How well does the iRobot Roomba 960 work?
    kendall_padberg
    about 2 years ago
    The iRobot Roomba 960 features a more powerful motor than the 600 series, providing up to 10x the air power when cleaning carpets. This robot has a specialized cleaning system that automatically increases vacuum power on carpets.

    No, but the Roomba 960 robot vacuum and Braava jet M6 robot mop can work together to give your floors a thorough clean.

    What is the difference between iRobot Roomba 960 and 980?
    zina
    about 2 years ago
    The 960 comes with 1 Virtual Wall; the 980, 2. The 980 houses a newer generation motor; the 960 uses the same motor as the ones in the 800's series. The suction power of the 960 is only 5x air power; that of the 980 is 10x.
