The new Roomba 880 features the revolutionary AeroForce™ Performance Cleaning System. Roomba 880 removes up to 50% more dirt, dust, hair and debris from all floor types. The tangle-free AeroForce™ Extractors are virtually maintenance-free, making it even easier for Roomba to tackle daily dirt build-up.
The AeroForce Performance Cleaning SystemAeroForce uses three technologies to deliver the ideal balance of vacuum suction and debris extraction. Ideal for homes with pets and allergy sufferers, Roomba 880 traps dirt, particulates and allergens into a sealed, HEPA-filtered bin.
Here's how AeroForce works:
Tangle-Free AeroForce Extractors: Dual extractors grab and break down dirt and debris from any floor type with no hair tangles for you.
Airflow Accelerator: Creates a sealed channel that concentrates airflow, drawing in more debris.
High-Efficiency Vacuum: Provides a 5X improvement in air power than previous Roomba generations.
Roomba automatically adjusts between floor types to clean carpets, tile, hardwood and laminate floors. The spinning side brush cleans dirt from wall edges.

Pros
Scheduling: The auto-scheduling features are still best in class for the 880. While nothing substantial has changed from previous versions, this is still a key selling point. Being able to have the vacuum auto-clean at regularly scheduled times is a godsend.
Persistent Pass Cleaning: One of the mainstays since the 6o0 series, this is still one of the best “pros” of going with a Roomba. The coverage technology developed by iRobot is still industry leading and automatically puts the Roomba in the top tier of robotic cleaners. While not a “new” feature this is still one of the top reasons to buy the 880.
New Features: The AeroForce cleaning system is a significant improvement over previous versions of the Roomba. One of the biggest criticisms of the Roomba has always been that – while it has superior mapping technology – other vacuums like the Neato series had better suction power. The 880 certainly comes close to evening the score, although it is not entirely fair because we have not seen the latest next-gen improvements from competitors yet.
Awesome for Pet Owners: One of the side benefits of having a more powerful suction system is that pet dander and fur are gathered up much more effectively. For pet owners with allergies, sensitivities, or just lots of messy pet hair, the 880 is the best Roomba yet at cleaning the house!

Cons
Noise: This has been an ongoing complaint for Roomba’s regardless of the generation. The Roomba 880 is still altogether louder than most of the robotic vacuum competition. This is a small price to pay, but it really depends on how much of concern this is for your living situation. It is still quiter than most traditional vacuums and they have made improvements with 880 model.
Price: $700 is still a lot of dough to shell out for a vacuum. While robotic vacuums are now maturing as a consumer product, the price tag for the 880 might not necessarily justify the improvements made. This Roomba 880 review is not about convincing you to buy this model. Some of the older models still perform well, but sell for a steep discount. In many ways, it’s like buying the latest iPhone. Depending on whether the new features matter to your lifestyle, it may be worth investigating other options and saving the money.
