原文： Newest Update : Jan 2018***, here:
I still love this thing and have no regrets. Often "you get what you pay for" and a lot of times, you don't. In this case, I feel like I've gotten my money's worth even after a year+. Acquired a new puppy in October this past Fall and I'm finding
this to be FAR more useful at this point. I'm running it about every other day, mainly in my kitchen and living space and I'm still amazed at how full that bin gets EVERY time it runs. I ran it the day after my cleaner vacuumed and damp mopped my floors and it STILL came back full after doing my whole place. (In my reviews below, I noted I have a very conscientious cleaning person and a top of the line Oreck vacuum.). So in the end, I haven't felt the need to spend the extra on the 980, and I'm finding this unit to be reliable and very efficient at doing what it's supposed to do. I can also say "Alexa, Tell Roomba to Clean" or "Tell Roomba to Go Home" and it follows my instructions... that's kinda cool, but what's more important is that this thing cleans well without wasting time and without breaking - in my own experience. What else matters?
New Update Posted January 2017***
After a few months, I like this as much as when I originally reviewed it, maybe more. It stuns me how much this little guy picks up every time he runs. It continues to pick up everything on the surface of my 1/2 carpet, 1/2 hardwood single story 3BR place. It runs, and continues to run for the advertised 70-80 minutes before it heads back to recharge. Then it picks up where it left off and finishes the job. Point is, after 60-70 minutes, the bin is almost ALWAYS full, so getting the upgraded battery in the 980 doesn't seem necessary.
One thing that impresses me also is it's ability to ALWAYS find it's home and it very rarely gets hung up. However, it can only find its home if it starts and runs uninterrupted - not moved manually for any reason. In that case, it loses it's way. It gets hung up occasionally on my bathroom mats, on the corners - but rarely. I'd say 1 in 8 times it runs, maybe less. Once in a while, it wedges itself under one side of my sofa, but again almost never. I can forgive the occasional mishap. One thing that REALLY impresses me is that I have back to back doors in my hall bathroom and the bedroom. If I leave both doors at a 45 degree angle, it figures out to do both rooms and to simply navigate around the doors - it's pretty amazing, in my opinion.
A few lessons I've learned. The app is actually fine, it's completely functional. It's a vacuum cleaner, not a game. I like the reminders to do the maintenance on it, which is super-simple and a necessary activity everyone should perform. It's just clearing the hair out of the rollers, etc. Nothing is terribly complicated and the pictures in the app are perfect to help. Also, since my place takes about two full cycles to clean the entire floor, then I usually just start it in the middle of the home, the one one day, I'll put the lighthouse/virtual wall on one side, and the next day, I'll put it on the other side - and it works perfectly, taking about 1 full battery cycle and filling the bin. I find this to be a simple activity and I probably run it about 4 times a week, total - so it cleans the place twice in a week.
I have a really good Oreck vacuum and a hired cleaner every two weeks, so the carpets and floors get a deep cleaning on that interval... And I'm STILL always just amazed at how much the Roomba still comes back with, even a day after the cleaner is here. So, if you can afford the luxury of a robot vacuum, I think this is probably one of the best buys out there - and certainly one of the most entertaining since it's not always just bumping into things in a circle - it continues to be "smart" and to navigate in a very intentional manner, which still impresses me.
Original Fall 2016 Review***
I am really quite smitten with this little guy. I actually purchased an 880 on sale "used from Amazon Warehouse." It seemed like a good deal, but then it wasn't such a deal when I realized the debris door hinge was broken on arrival!!! Regardless, I figured I'd see how well it can work. I had a 1st generation roomba many years ago and it was basically an okay floor sweeper, hardly a real vacuum. Well, the 880 was pretty impressive in both cleaning power as well as improved navigation. I must have filled that debris container up about 6 times in my 1,300 ft2 apartment when it arrived. I was amazed at how much it actually got up and although it doesn't "deep clean" anything per se, it does a really, really fantastic job of getting the surface of everything, including carpets, clean.
Here's the issue with the 880 - since it was broken on arrival - I figured, why not try the 960? Should be same guts and I didn't see the extra $200 clams worth the price for the 980 for my purposes. I think I was right - the 960 cleans just as well as the 880, but of course it's FAR more intelligent!!! The 880 kinda bugged me - I have a 3BR/2BA apartment with a utility room - small, but I'm a single guy with a few dogs that don't shed too much. The 880 was a little "too random" for my tastes and often went through the same room twice while neglecting another room altogether before it would just head home for a recharge - NOT finishing the job I asked it to do.
The 960 is COMPLETELY different. It actually figures out the layout pretty darn well. It's a little random at times, but to see it INTENTIONALLY head out of one room, go down the hall, and then hit the Kitchen is truly inspiring to me. Yep, it's actually doing some basic thinking here - nothing magic, just better software and a camera to help it map where it's been and how to get home. When the bin is full or the battery runs down, it literally takes about the shortest path back to home base and pops right back into it's charger - then it picks up, literally, where it left off. The 880 sometimes roamed aimlessly, looking for the charger which wasn't in a prominent, main room. Sometimes, the 800 would just run out of juice on it's way meandering to it's charger. I have the 960's charger under a desk in my office and it simply finds its way right back without a second thought.
If you can get the 880 for $500, and the 960 is $700, is it worth it? Up to you. For me, with the complexities of my apartment here - and to ensure it actually does the job , finishes it, and gets all the nooks and crannies that Roombas do - I think the 960 is a worthy update. The app is okay - I like it better than no app and find it entirely useful. If you're like me, with a 1-level place that's sizable enough to make you not want to pull out the full-size vacuum often enough, then this could be a little dream come true.
On a side note, I also considered the Dyson - but reading the reviews it seems like the 900 series was gonna be a bit smarter... And I will say, the 960 truly does seem a heck of a lot smarter than anything I've seen in our emerging tech world. It may not be a driverless car, but it ain't bad for the money. I've had this for about 2 weeks and I'll be sticking with this one - and will send an update if anything comes up in the next month or so.

译文： 最新的评论更新：2018年1月***，下面的：
我仍然喜欢这个机器人，并没有觉得遗憾。通常“你所得到的东西应该与你所付出的价格匹配”，但是很多时候，你没有。在这种情况下，我觉得即使在一年以后，我的钱也值得。今年秋天大概10月份的时候买了一只新的小狗机器人，并且我发现此时FAR更有用一点。我每隔一天就会运行一次，主要用于我的厨房和生活空间，我仍然惊讶于机器人每次运行时都垃圾箱都会很满。我运行了它一整天，在吸尘器吸完尘和吸完湿后，把我整个地方都打扫完成后，它又收获了满满的垃圾。 （在我的评论下面，我注意到有一个非常认真的清洁人员和顶级的Oreck真空吸尘器。）。所以最后，我并没有觉得有必要在980上花费额外的费用，我发现这个产品在做它应该做的事情时是可靠和非常高效的。我也可以说“Alexa，告诉Roomba要清洁”或“告诉Roomba要回家”，它遵循我的指示...这很酷，但更重要的是，它的清理工作完成得很好，不会浪费时间，也不会打破什么东西，根据我自己的经验。所以还有什么关系？
更新发布于2017年1月***
几个月后，我喜欢这一点，就像我最初说的一样，也许还有更多。它让我感到惊讶，这个小家伙每次运行时都会有多大的收获。它继续清理起我地毯的一半，硬木单层的一半，3BR地方表面上的所有东西。它运行，并继续运行，就像广告上说的70-80分钟，然后再回来开始充电。然后，它会继续离开并完成工作。要点是，在60-70分钟后，垃圾桶几乎是满的，所以在980上获得升级版，电池似乎不是必要的。
让我印象深刻的一件事是，它总是能够找到它的原点，而且它很少会被挂到。但是，如果它启动并且不间断运行，它只能找到它的原点 - 因为没有任何原因，没有手动移动。在这种情况下，它就失去了方向。它偶尔挂在我的浴室垫上，在角落 里- 这种情况但很少。我会说8次，只能运行1次，可能更少。有一段时间，它在我的沙发的一侧下陷，但几乎从未发生过这种情况。我可以原谅偶尔的事故。真正令我印象深刻的是，我在我的大厅卫生间和卧室里背对着门。如果我以45度的角度离开这两扇门，它会计算出两个房间的距离，并简单地在门周围导航 - 在我看来，这是相当了不起的。
我吸取了一些教训。该应用程序实际上运行的很好，它功能真的不错。这是吸尘器，不是在玩游戏。我喜欢提醒维护它，这是非常简单的，也是每个人都应该进行的必要活动。它只是清理滚筒上的头发等。没有什么是非常复杂的，应用程序中的图片可以给你完美的帮助。另外，由于我的地方需要整整两个工作周期才能清洁整个地板，所以我通常只是在家中间启动它，一天一次，我会把灯塔/虚拟墙放在一边，然后下一个一天再进行，我会把它放在另一边 - 它可以完美的工作，需要大约1个完整的电池周期然后填充满垃圾箱。我觉得这是一个简单的活动，我可能每周运行约4次，总共 - 一周内清理两次。
我每隔两周就会用一次非常好的Oreck真空吸尘器和一套清洁工具，这样地毯和地板就可以在这段间隔时间内进行深度清洁......而且，我仍然总是惊讶于Roomba仍然会回来，即使是清洁工作在此之后的第二天。所以，如果你能负担得起机器人真空吸尘器这样的奢侈品，我认为这可能是最好的交易之一 - 而且肯定是最有趣的一种，因为它并不总是只是碰到一个圈子里的东西 - 它仍然是“聪明好用“，并以非常有意的方式导航，这仍然令我印象深刻。
更新2016年秋季评论***
我真的很受这个小家伙的影响。我实际上购买了一个880“从亚马逊仓库发货的”。这似乎是一个很好的交易，但当我意识到垃圾门铰链坏了时，它已经抵达了，这并不是什么大不了的事情！无论如何，我想我会看到它的工作能力。我有很多年前的第一代roomba，它是一个好的地板清扫工，几乎不是真空的。那么，880在清洁能力以及改进的导航方面都非常出色。在我的1,300平方英尺的公寓打扫完时，我一定已经将这个垃圾箱装满了6次。我惊讶于它实际上起了多大的作用，虽然它本身并没有进行“深度清洁”，但它确实使得包括地毯在内的所有表面都变得干净，非常出色的吸尘器。
