Does a good job vacuuming carpets.

I can tell that the carpet just looks a bit more rejuvenated from when I started using this one regularly.

It cleans my tall carpets very well, much better than expected

Transitions between hard floors and carpet really well

I noticed cleaner thick carpets, but no loss in performance on tile or hardwood

I mentioned that the 980 is "about" 79 db because when it hits carpet, it automatically increases the power to clean the carpet more thoroughly

The switching to power boost for carpet works well for whole rooms or large rugs, but for small mats it often doesn’t switch quickly enough and has already driven off the mat again before the power suction has completely turned on (if at all).I’m quite impressed by the navigation and mapping of this roomba

The noise level is similar to a regular vacuum especially if it's cleaning carpeting

The only drawback is that it can get stuck on thick loose carpet.

My best guestimate is, had I continued using a standard upright, the 10-month-old carpet would have been unsightly & damaged, needing replacement within 2-3 years

Running twice a week keeps the carpet clean

One of the online reviews I had read said it did a better job of vacuuming than their Dyson and that's what got me to buy it - and I am sure they meant it!The Roomba:**Vacuums thicker carpets extreemely well - looks like carpets were steam cleaned**Can easily transition from tile to shaggy area

and I didn't know if it would be able to get from the floor to the carpet and if it did how well it would clean the carpet versus the floor

I have tile / bamboo flooring (no carpet), and it cleans great

They both detect dirtier areas and go into “spot clean” mode,I’ve read in reviews that 990 and 880 can’t clean black carpet

For $1000 dollars it doesn't clean dark carpets

I bought it because of the powerful carpet clean function

but it was able to get them to clean the black-ish carpet in my office just fine

The “cliff sensor” which is supposed to keep it from falling off stairs, thinks black carpet is a cliff and refuses to go over it

(6) The carpet is noticeably clean.

My carpeting looks better than it has in years

Our carpet was either very dirty or we create more dirt and hair than we thought

It is a bit less noisy on hard flooring, and we could disable carpet boost altogether but choose not to

With 2 big labs will use are dyson all the time, so far the Roomba has kept up and our carpets are cleaning then they have even been, Can not say enough good things about the

but yes, the 980 does think dark carpet is an edge and no, there wasn't 'any' work around even for 1 story homes without the potential to fall.'Bottom line was that we really really wanted this to work and very disappointed that Roomba does not explicitly advertise the potential for dark carpet edges/areas causing

My carpets are cleaner than ever!

By the time I realized this (after less than 8 uses), 2 new carpets and 2 antique carpets were damaged

Since that run the carpets are cleaner and the differences are usually about 5 grams between the two.

" you have 4 options; "Carpet boost" - Auto/Performance/Eco.

This roomba is effective in both hard floors and carpet.

They work great on both hard floors and carpet

so I think it is pulling up more loose carpet or something because every time I empty the bin it is full of carpet fuzz as well as all the dirt it vacuumed up

It looks like all carpet with dark colors trick it into thinking it's jumping off a cliff

Works great as a vacuum, carpet boost works better than I thought it would

The carpet looks like new again

I have dark thick carpet and very light travertine

i have a 2500' home and my carpet has never seemed so clean

Our old carpets were friendly to us about this.

Battery life on pure carpet is about 1 hour and multiple charges were necessary for two passes up here

It is a smart gadget, and cleans the carpet very well, and is quiet, and is easy to empty, and all the bells and whistles JUST WORK

Also I would recommend that pet owners or those who did not have a regular cleaning schedule prior to roomba do a deep carpet clean and wash

I'm not going to bump this all the way up to five stars as I still think the description needs to be more clear that it won't work on dark carpet/rugs, and am leaving the initial headline to save people headaches in finding this out later

The bin fills rapidly with carpet material, not dirt, and a few spots are nearly bare.

We set it up to run 3 days a week on ceramic tiles in the kitchen, living room and master bath and carpets in master bedroom

It cleans all of my floors and carpets very well much better than the vacuum that I previously had, and I love it

It vacuums in nice straight lines.-Battery life is good but will die much faster on carpet than on hardwood (due to carpet boost)Cons:-With carpet boost on, it can get pretty loud

This one doesn’t get stuck transitioning between ceramic tile and a thick plush carpet

One major warning - even with the carpet boost turned off the machine is extremely hard on good carpets that are not made of tight weave.

I love coming home to a clean carpet everyday

Now, the Roomba keeps the carpets clean, usually when nobody at home

It handles standard pile, frieze pile carpet and hard floors equally well

What an amazing device, the carpet looked clean but the 980 showed me just how much stuff was really there!

I would say it's about twice as loud as the 880 was, when cleaning carpet, and about the same loudness on hard floors

I can tell you it was NOT just picking up loose carpet fibers, but ugly, gray, dirty, dusty junk!

The 980 does an excellent job of cleaning hard surface and carpeted areas

much better than the older versions as it will power up to clean rugs/carpet.

I cannot begin to describe how much dust and loose carpet fibers (in our master

We purchased a Roomba 980 back in Jan, 2016 and have been using it to clean the carpets in our 10,000 sq.ft office and it has been doing a wonderful job, we just move the base station from area to area and use the invisible walls and the Roomba does a better job than the cleaning company we were using

Can not believe a $700 vacuum is not able to clean carpets with black patters...this is ubsurd.

"Rosie" had cleaned up all the fur bunnies that normally are waiting for me & the carpet looked clean.

Better to save your money and wait until the next generation comes out, hopefully able to cope with dark carpet and some way to navigate in the dark as well as the Neato bots can.

works as advertised on a variety floor services - hard wood, low pile and high pile carpet - and with its 2 hour run time can cover even larger homes/floors with multiple rooms

I wanted the stronger carpet feature

It is great at cleaning fairly thick carpets

Now, I don't believe any vacuum cleaner has the ability to get carpets brand new clean in a few passes, so having the option to clean our carpet every day with no effort is amazing

My wife is much happier with cleaner carpets and floors than she has been in a while.

10/10 on cleaning the hardwoods/tile, probably 8/10 on cleaning carpeted areas - just depends on how much pet hair there is.

The motor revs to clean the carpet

At first I thought the carpet was too high, but upon further inspection, the carpet was well below the

I highly recommend this vacuum to anyone who wants to come home to a clean carpet daily

The only redeeming quality is that it makes me feel safer knowing that the impending robot apocalypse is still several years away if the robots haven't even mastered keeping carpets clean yet.

and when I come home, my apartment's carpet is always flawless

i was worried that the bin was not large enough..but it never got over filled..and i have pet birds who leave a lot of seeds on the carpet..it also went off carpet to do tiled floors..and searched every corner for dust or debris..and it didnt scare my birds at all

I've had her for a couple of weeks and each time she cleans the carpets, her bin is completely full of cat hair!

I noticed cleaner thick carpets, but no loss in performance on tile or hardwood

Does both hardwood and medium short carpet very well

On my area rugs, the carpet boost technology kicks in, and it seems to do a great job on the rugs with only a single pass as well

It cleans my tall carpets very well, much better than expected

What I can say is that my carpet "feels" clean

All that aside, I did a great deal of research to find a robot that would clean on both hard wood and carpet.

One last thing I have the type of carpet(2 years old) that leave tracks when you vacuum this roomba makes my carpet look like a Jackson Pollack canvas, twists and turns all over.

In the bedroom, Roomba cleaned most of the Smart Strand carpet without difficulty.

I thought the carpets were clean and roomba would have hard time even finding dirt to pick up, boy was I wrong

I was shocked at what this got out of recently vacuumed and steam cleaned carpets

I had no idea how dirty my carpets are.

The carpet-cleaning power, thoroughness and dust-bin capacity are impressive.

You can also schedule a recurring cleaning cycle and other settings such as Carpet Boost (this feature automatically cleans harder when it detects a rug or carpet), Two Cleaning Passes (the default is one, although it will still use its debris detector as needed) and Edge Clean (this cleans around the perimeter of a room to make

You will be shocked at how dirty your "clean" carpet really is!!!!

Second, I purchased, given the claims, that the 980 could/should clean carpets as well or better than predecessors or competitors.

When I roll up small carpets to protect them from Stan, I set them across entry ways of rooms I don't need cleaned.

In old apartment we had horrible carpet, which became unbelievably soft, because I run robot every day

and it thinks the dark carpet is a cliff and stops

Works great on hard floors, carpets are iffy if they are dark colors

It cleans hardwood floors as well as carpets, and it does a great job wherever it cleans

It does not work well on super plush carpets or high pile rugs

Love this machine, I have very little carpet of which I think it does a pretty good job of cleaning.

I would say it's probably a solid 4 star product for homes with hard floors and carpets without pet hair and maybe only a 2 star product for homes that have carpets with pet hair.

there is a lot to clean up!We have hard wood, carpeting and stone with an L shaped ground floor

We had recently bought a Smart Strand carpet for our bedroom, and love the plush, silky feel on bare feet.

The model 980, actually has two different speeds and it will automatically switch back-and-forth whether it is vacuuming a hard floor or carpet

Considering that our Smart Strand carpet should last a lot longer using Roomba, the amount of dirt/dust missed by the upright, and a lot less time pushing an upright around, I’m happy with this purchase.

See the pictures uploaded of white pet hair and a few pet food pieces debris left on the dark brown carpet for reference.

You will be shocked at how dirty your "clean" carpet really is!!!!

It handles carpets well too.

I would avoid cleaning more than once per day, my 22 year old carpeting might be damaged by the rubber rollers, as I see a lot of carpet like material in the bin, but it seems very minor amount

One thing that also really improved is the ability to clean carpet.

I love that fresh vacuumed carpet look

It navigated the carpet effectively and left neat carpet lines parallel to the walls

980 cleans hard surface as well as carpeting...gets into hard places including under beds.

980 cleans hard surface as well as carpeting...gets into hard places including under beds.

it looks cute when it was spin around, and it has carpet boost, which I love the most

I love good carpet lines

It has severy problems with dark carpet and transitions2

Either way our carpets are noticeably cleaner now, there is noticeably less pet smells, and there is a psychological factor since we have to pick up objects off the floor before running the vacuum we naturally keep our house picked up

Every night It cleans my dining room (carpet), kitchen (linoleum with small carpet), breakfast nook and hallway (wood with small entry carpet), half bath

I thoroughly ran my upright vacuum cleaner and upright carpet washer before letting the roomba loose, and the roomba still filled its healthy sized dust bin twice on its first mission, on just the first floor

the first run i had to empty it about 5 times which showed me how dirty my carpet was

You won't like to stay all the time while it's working, especially my place ismainly carpet and carpet boost works

Not safe for hand made wool rugs this vacuum AeroForce brushes will pull fibers from delicate carpets, Neato is better option for delicate carpets.

Each time she docks, I clean out her basket and brush off her filter and each time I do it, I am shocked as to how much dust, debris and fur is in the basket!!

We have to empty the bin after each cleaning as sometimes there is so much hair/dirt that even in one cleaning, the roomba will stop as the dust bin is full.

Love it Does get confused as to home base some times by does great job.

I definitely recommend this as long as it's not for excessive dog hair on carpet.

The brushes are more advanced and much easier to clean as they are a strips of rubber than traditional brush fibers

I have Neck, back & knee hardware that makes it difficult to clean as much as I would like to.

He cleans as if it is a new space every day

It also cannot clean over black carpet as it thinks its falling off of a cliff

It doesn't clean the rug nearly as good as my upright (durr) but it cleans it some

We have 5 dogs...keeps the floors clean of dog hair...honestly did not expect it to be as great as it is...set it and forget it (aside from emptying the bin).

This promotes reliable navigation both, for returning to point where it quit due to low battery as well as in finding its home dock.

not as flexible as I had hoped

First day she sucked up a

Now it is working up in the children’s room where it works partially as a

My husband and I were fascinated as we watched it go from room to room.

You don't get the same level of clean as if you vacuumed yourself, but it's close enough

In theory great idea but as far as it cleaning when not home so far hasn't worked to well as it gets stuck daily

While no robot is perfect, this robot does an overall good job cleaning as it works its way around the floor area

Vacuum does an excellent job cleaning a

n’t take 6hours to fully clean my 2 bedroom home

n’t had the 980 clog like that yet

and NOW THEY WON"T RESPOND, because it's

n’t want to be blowing this stuff in your house or garage
