Cleaning Capabilities
Roomba 880 has pretty impressive cleaning capability. It has 2x battery life and 5x more power than previous Roomba series.
Actually, most of its owners praised for its ability to handle the job pretty well.
It can work well on different types of floors such as carpets, rugs, laminate, tile, hardwood floor and so on.
The process is close to perfect as it sometimes misses 1 or 2 spots.
This is understandable because Roomba 880 is still a random cleaner so that it can’t determine whether some places need less or more cleaning.
With HEPA filtration, the vacuum is suitable for allergy sufferers as the HEPA can filter out 99.7% of small particles and also prevents dust from recirculating back to the air.
In addition, Roomba 880 does a wonderful job cleaning the edges and corners of a room as its side brushes deliver a great result.

The Roomba 805 is much less expensive than the 880 but you’ll get what you pay for.
Speaking of quality, Roomba 880 is obviously better and delivers more impressive performance.
However, if you have a tight budget, then you should consider the cheaper one, Roomba 805. I believe the product is enough for your house.
