It is effective at getting dirt, dust, pet fur, and pet hair from a variety of surfaces using its patented 3 stage cleaning system. The built-in HEPA filter traps dust and allergens and will keep your air clean and smelling fresh, great for those with allergies, pets and pet hair. This sophisticated robot vacuum has Dirt Detect Series 2 Technology uses both optical and acoustic sensors to identify dirtier areas and spends more time cleaning them. Using advanced software and sensors, the Roomba 880’s iAdapt technology ensures that it vacuums every section of your floor, including areas you cannot easily reach, such as under furniture.

The new Tangle-Free AeroForce Extractors provides a 5X improvement in air power than previous Roomba generations. It no longer uses brushes, and has better contact with the floor or rugs. Its HEPA filter will filter out dust, dirt, and allergens. iRobot vacuums are extremely sophisticated cleaning machines, using the latest software and sensor technology to vacuum your entire floor, yet avoid obstacles. Soft bumpers cushions the vacuum when it encounters furniture and walls. It will clean areas that vacuums rarely go, such as under furniture, under a bed, in corners. The Roomba 880 is better equipped than previous models to handle fibers like hair, pet hair, pet fur, lint and carpet fuzz. It is ideal for those with pets. The larger dust bin requires less emptying than previous models. This vacuum can do a comparable job to many uprights, because this vacuum goes over a dirty area many times, until clean, using Dirt Detect 2 technology.
