If you are a home owner, have pets, suffer from allergies or just love the feeling of breathing clean air this is the best available. Using Virtual Lighthouses, it gets things done really fast and efficient.

iRobot’s Roomba 650 and Roomba 770 are both great products, and this robot vacuum is definitely the best we’ve tested yet.

If you have read any of my other reviews (you can check those out clicking the following links), then you know that I am on a quest to find the absolute best robotic vacuum cleaners for my home and the iRobot Roomba 880 Vacuum Cleaning Robot is next.

Currently, I own an iRobot Roomba 650, which is a powerhouse on the lower level of my home. In my opinion, it offers all of the features I need and it came at a price point that I just could not pass up. I purchased a Bobsweep PetHair Edition robotic vacuum cleaner first (and the family calls it Bob for short), but after experiencing the difference the 650 made, I moved the Bobsweep upstairs to make room for the Roomba 650 downstairs.

Recently, I borrowed my brother’s iRobot Roomba 770 and a friend’s Roomba 780, and after the experience I had (cleaner floors and better overall operation) as well as the experience my brother had (a horrible allergy attack for which he has not forgiven me), it is clear that I need to replace the Bobsweep. My son, Logan, has some serious allergies, and if I do not keep the floors upstairs free from hair and dander, he wakes in the morning with terrible congestion, sneezing, and itchy eyes. Although I like the Roomba 770 I felt that I needed to continue my research before committing to another vacuum cleaning robot for pets and allergies. And after experiencing the Roomba 780 I knew I wanted to have the Virtual Lighthouses, as these really take technology to a new level. Therefore the Roomba 870 is out of the race, because it doesn’t have those it “only” comes with Virtual Walls. That and a remote control are the only differences between Roomba 870 and Roomba 880 BTW. Why we believe you really want those Virtual Lighthouses? Watch this:

Roomba 880 and why I Choose iRobot.

A lot of people ask me why I’m such a big fan of iRobot and why I rarely take the time to review vacuums from other companies. (I plan to do just that eventually, but I’m a fan of iRobot through and through.) Honestly, when a company dedicates so much of its time and energy into making life simpler and easier for people, it is hard to avoid them. iRobot is an American-founded company that got its start in the Artificial Intelligence Lab at MIT – how cool is that?!? These guys go out of their way to make sure that everything they engineer and create is absolutely perfect, and they are constantly finding ways to improve on their already fantastic technologies.

In fact, iRobot is known for other types of products, too. They have software, programs, and equipment that allow couples and families to visit one another virtually, even across continents and oceans, and this just tugs at my heartstrings. They also manufacture robots that keep bomb technicians safe by venturing out into the field with cameras and tools to disarm bombs remotely. SWAT teams and even the US Military make use of this technology.

Whereas many companies these days offer lousy customer service, this is certainly not the case with iRobot. If you’re like me and you prefer to do your own research before making telephone calls or sending emails, you’ll love the iRobot website. Not only can you find user manuals for every single one of their robotic vacuum cleaners, but you can also find tutorial videos to show you how all of the features work.

Speaking of tutorial videos, they even have videos to show you how to replace parts on the Roomba vacuum cleaners! This is something new to me since I’m used to companies designing things in such a way that they are impossible to repair on your own. iRobot takes the opposite approach. When parts wear out or become damaged (kids will be kids, after all), it is easy to contact customer service to receive the replacement part. It arrives quickly, and the customer service team will even send you a link directly to the related tutorial video showing you exactly how to replace it. I don’t know of any other company that goes to such lengths to ensure customer satisfaction.

Roomba 880 and the Conversation with My Best Friend

My best friend, Fawn, has a newly built single level home. She also has a three-year-old son, Rusty, who can only be described as noise with dirt on it. Now, since her floors are concrete (they installed radiant heat, and I’m jealous!), I figured she just used a traditional broom most of the time and vacuumed her rugs manually. A few days after my brother’s vicious allergy attack, Fawn and I were chatting on the phone and complaining about our messy kids and husbands. We got to talking about my recent obsession with robotic vacuum cleaners, and I told her about my brother’s experience. She laughed – a lot – and then told me about her iRobot Roomba 880. This was news to me – I’ve been to her house hundreds of times and I’ve never seen it. That’s when I found out that she runs the Roomba at night so that Rusty doesn’t accidentally trip over it. Frankly, I was impressed that it transitioned from her concrete floors to her high-pile rugs without tangles or snags. With a little more discussion, she agreed to swap her Roomba 880 for my Bobsweep. I felt the excitement building again, and I was glad that I didn’t have to actually purchase a Roomba 880 without having the opportunity to try it out first.

Making the Swap

Fawn came over a little later that day, and she brought Rusty with her, like always. He plays around on the floor a lot, so it really makes me happy that my Roomba 650 does a great job of removing dirt and debris that my dogs tend to track into the house. We spent a little time talking about the 650 and my reasons for keeping it around as opposed to upgrading. (Honestly, its features are plenty for the downstairs area and I can’t really justify spending more for features I don’t need.) Then, we discussed the fact that my son slept better and woke allergy-free after borrowing my brother’s Roomba 770, and I really wanted to try a few other Roomba models before retiring Bob.

We made the swap; she handed me her freshly cleaned Roomba 880, and I gave her my Bobsweep PetHair Edition. (I should note that Fawn does not keep pets in her home. She has two Great Pyrenees that live outside on her tiny chicken farm, but they don’t come indoors. Thus, I figured that Bob should do her some justice.) As soon as she left, I plugged in the iRobot Roomba 880 to charge, and I went to my desk to do a little research before setting it free.

Roomba 880 And What I Discovered During My Research

While the borrowed robotic vacuum cleaner charged on its base, I went to iRobot’s site to do a little research. I discovered that the Roomba 880 has many of the same features as my brother’s 770 model, but with a few improvements. For example, the Roomba 880 boasts the iRobot XLife™ extended life battery, so it can be recharged more often. This is exciting since the upper level of our home has three large bedrooms, a full-sized bathroom, and a short but wide hallway.

The AeroForce cleaning system and extractors are supposedly more powerful than the predecessors are, and this means that the Roomba 880 can pick up even more debris than the 770 / 780 or the 650 downstairs. I read a little about the Airflow Accelerator, which allows more suction than before, too. You might want to check out this video:

Like my brother’s 770, this model also comes with dual HEPA filters, but it was missing the remote control to which my son and I have grown accustomed. And of course it comes with 2 Virtual Lighthouses, like the 780, which are superior to the Virtual Walls, making cleaning a lot more efficient. If you haven’t heard about them yet, check out this video.

At this point, I was ready to give the Roomba 880 a chance to do its thing. I went in to set up the Virtual Lighthouses, and I set it loose on the carpets upstairs. About this time, the kids came home from school. Logan was already excited about playing around with its remote control, but we decided to spend a little time outside first – including the dogs – to have a little fun in the garden.

What I Saw

About two hours later, we all came back inside for something cool to drink and a quick snack. Then, Cassie, Logan, and I made our way upstairs to check on the Roomba’s progress. Thanks to the Virtual Lighthouses, the Roomba 880 was finished. At this point, the kids have watched me review and test so many robotic vacuum cleaners that they knew exactly what to do. Cassie went to her room, got down on her hands and knees, and poked around under her bed looking for clumps of hair or pieces of dirt and dust. They were all gone, just as I’d suspected. However, from the surface, even the 650 is capable of this and we are already pretty spoiled experiencing the 770 and 780, so I wanted to put it to a real test.

I went downstairs and got my manual vacuum, emptied the bin completely, and ran the vacuum over the areas the Roomba 880 had been. I expected that I’d pick up quite a bit of embedded debris and perhaps a little hair; these robotic vacuums are not supposed to completely replace manual vacuuming, after all. What I saw – or rather, what I didn’t see – surprised me. After manually vacuuming the entire upper floor, there was almost nothing in the manual vacuum’s bin. I don’t think even the 770 / 780 models could do that, and the fact that there were dual HEPA filters inside the little iRobot pet and allergy vacuum cleaner was even more inspiring. Bob was definitely on his way out the door after this.

iRobot Roomba 880 – My Overall Opinion

My main concern as a wife and mother is keeping my family healthy and my home clean. I mean, that’s what it’s really all about for me. At the surface, the Bobsweep did a good job of picking up the dog hair, but it was obviously leaving behind more than what I could see. I liked the 770 and the 780 with the Virtual Lighthouses, I suppose, but I figured that if I was going to spend that much money on a pet hair and allergy robotic vacuum cleaner, then I wanted to get the best overall value for my money – especially after I hastily bought the Bobsweep without much consideration.

Roomba 650 vs. 880

If you don’t have allergies, the 650 is a great pick. The cleaning results are very good for the money, and this model does an excellent job of picking up pet hair. If you want clean air, more convenience and cleanliness is your middle name, the Roomba 880 is your choice. It comes with state of the art technology and really makes you feel like you are living in the 21^st century. However, you have to decide if that’s worth about $200 more to you. For me, at least for my lower level, it isn’t.

Either way, you’ll get a great robotic vacuum cleaner, and as this could be your entrance to a whole new cleaning and healthier living experience, the entry level might be just fine, knowing there is room for more. You’ll be thrilled with the results, and, truth be told, a robotic vacuum cleaner that does the dirty work for you is just plain cool.

Roomba 770 vs. 880

The 770 and 880 come with HEPA filters, which I prefer because I have pets and a child with allergies. The cleaning results are better with the Roomba 880 but not significantly so, in my opinion. Because of the differently designed cleaning system, the 880 is superior – and it has the latest technology. The 880’s cleaning efficiency is higher while using Virtual Lighthouses, too

My recommendation: If you can afford the $100 to $150 or so more, get the 880. After all, the 880’s Extended Life Battery alone could almost make up for the difference in price when compared to buying a new battery for the 770 model. If you already own the 770, in my opinion, an upgrade isn’t worth the money.

Roomba 780 vs. 880

The 880 is just one step up from the 780, and the only difference in the two is more powerful cleaning. However, in my personal opinion, since the difference is marginal, I doubt that I would spend an extra $100 or so to choose the 880 over the 780. The 780 has the Virtual Lighthouses just like the 880, so paying more for advanced cleaning (that is only marginal, if you ask me) just doesn’t make much sense. However, if you do not yet own a robotic vacuum cleaner and you want to get the very best that iRobot has to offer, I’d pick the 880 every single time.

So what is it for me? The Roomba 880 is already running upstairs.
