The Roomba 960 is a "lite" version of the 980 with a smaller motor and battery. So it isn't as powerful. You can see the difference in the lower scores across the board. It isn't as good with deep cleaning or picking up surface debris. But still decent on both surfaces.
The smaller battery means it will not run as long, only 75 minutes. It shouldn't be an issue since this model has recharge and resume, so it resumes cleaning if it doesn't finish the cycle previously.

Spot on review. I've had my 960 for a year and it does amazing on carpet, good on tile. To me the individual room cleaning isn't important, but the navigation seems to spend too much time around dining room tables.

I’ve had a 960 for almost 4 years. I did just replace the battery a couple months ago. It’s still going strong though!

I wasn’t aware a review for a Roomba with this much information was even possible. Every question I could possibly have about this was answered. Great video

[@CordlessVacuumGuide]

Thanks. Glad it was helpful

I recently found a Roomba 960 in a dumpster. It works! Though I'm not sure how well it works. I just cleaned it out today. I will test it again tomorrow, this time using the app.

Great review! Thank you.

6:15 So Roomba 960 doesn't work with virtual walls?? Even 595 works with them

[@CordlessVacuumGuide]

I was talking about an in-app feature. But it is compatible with the physical "virtual wall" device if that's what you're asking about

[@ThePhosee]

@@CordlessVacuumGuide got it. Great. Thank you for clarification!

[@sakar5127]

Thanx for the review. Can iRobot update the software that would enable 900 series to gain the capabilities of selecting a room to clean? Or the firmware is not sufficient to do that.

[@CordlessVacuumGuide]

Technically yes, I think they can, but this model has been out for several years and still no update. So I don't think that's happening.

[@sakar5127]

@@CordlessVacuumGuide hope they will. Because ı am planing to buy a Roomba 981.

[@TheSamsungCollector]

I have a 800 series its a 870

[@KenHTx17]

I have one

[@robertowens89]

Just picked this up certified refurbished on Ebay for $150 hope it works out for me.

[@yes5292]

Same got it for Mother’s Day and just got it today, seems good so far. How’s your experience?

[@InaMopar]

@@yes5292I am considering getting the certified 980 how was your 960 is it like new or very beat?

[@yes5292]

came like new and for the price of 180, its very solid, does a good job vacuuming that's what we wanted@@InaMopar
