I'm a proud owner of the Roomba 890.......I had a gift voucher I got from www.robotbox.net so I decided to top up and get a 980, it's the latest model with VSLAM. I really loathed the idea of the 980 taking pictures of your home. My sister has the cheaper 960 and from how you can monitor your house remotely, I won't lie to you....iAdapt 2.0 is like a spymaster's technology.....But on iRobot sharing your data, I'm not sure but it's very possible especially with the recent wave of hacking claims.

If you don't like the idea of a robot vacuum taking images of your home, get the Roomba 890 that's way cheaper and does the job just right, whether you have a carpet or even pets! In fact, if you do some research or you read a good Roomba comparison review, you will see that the 890 is real value for money. Have had mine for 8 months and I can't complain, it does the 750 sq. ft. daily without any hassle, but remember I don't have pets! It's actually my best pick when it comes to the best Roombas in 2018

Is this just a verbal swoosh from the CEO or is he willing to put his money where his mouth is and put this in an amended EULA/contract with every Roomba user?
