• Compared to the Roomba 600-series entry level, the s9 and s9+ have 40x the suction power. The 980 had 10x the power.

• Way worse...I love my 985. This thing sucks at mapping. I've had to replace it once already and just replaced the battery. The new battery has only been installed for a few days and it is now saying to replace the battery.

• I haven’t used the other model, but when I boost it to 100%, it cleans the carpet and floor spotless. I have 2 pugs with very fine hair and it gets it all!
