Guys, I paid slightly more for my first car than I spent on this vacuum. I resisted getting a robot vacuum for a long time but the reviews were so overwhelmingly positive for this new model that I sucked it up and went for it. Couldn’t be happier with the purchase. Between the dogs and Lincoln we could really run a vacuum non stop. We run the 980 nearly daily and it’s awesome at sweeping up those fine Ridgeback hairs. Makes a big difference in how clean the apartment looks.
