iRobot Roomba 960 Robot Vacuum Cleaner with Wi-Fi Connectivity Personal Review & Comparison

 powered by Lithium Ion

iRobot's smart robotic vacuum cleaner the Roomba 960 looks good on paper, but how does it do in practical terms? Does the iRobotic Roomba really clean up? Does the iRobotic Roomba really work?

I've tested it out and here are my thought. The first thing is that I was weird to start up because I'm use to vacuuming manually. Of course manually is better but why not invest in something that will make your life easier! Every floor is constantly clean using this smart vacuum devise. I rate it 10/10
