iRobot Roomba i4+ EVO (4552) Robot Vacuum with Automatic Dirt Disposal - Empties Itself for up to 60 Days, Wi-Fi Connected Mapping, Compatible with Alexa, Ideal for Pet Hair, Carpets

The i4+ vacuums so much better than my previous Roombas (and alternatives). It runs in logical patterns (compared to the random directions others often do), covers ground better and more efficiently, and picks up more dirt/hair/stuff than any other robo-vac that ive owned. Thats the good side. The bad side is that it doesnt always run and cant be managed. Ive had 2 other Roombas that worked great with the iRobot app, but this one does not. I can setup the vacuum, add a schedule, and then it disappears from the app. It may or may not run according to the schedule, it may run more than the schedule or it may not run at all. The app will never reconnect to the vacuum after initial setup, at least not completely. It partially connects because I can (sometimes) reboot it from the app. But it doesnt maintain a history of runs, wont on-demand, cant change the schedule, etc. Ive tried 3 different wifi networks, 3 different phones, etc, nothing works reliably. This vacuum is impossible to manage & control. Im hoping Roomba support will be helpful on this and if so will adjust review accordingly, but for now, this vacuum mostly requires manually starting it.

When my husband told me that he ordered this, I was skeptical. However, after not having to sweep my floor on my own for over a week, I am sold. It does not tear up my rugs, it picks up the smallest of particles. The only thing that has been complained about was by our little who got mad it sucked up some of his coins off his floor. :) Overall, it is a wonderful addition to my household and I would purchase again.

The product is great! It didnt come with a manufacturer waranty, registration or a QR code to help with set up. This is strange. Product was sold to me as new, wouldnt this information be included?

I have a smaller home with lots of legged furniture. I was worried that it would have trouble mapping the house or efficiently navigating these obstacles. I was wrong! It’s a very intuitive device and that cleans in more hard to navigate spaces than expected. The set up, mapping, and use require next to no engagement or effort from me - just turn it on and forget about it! It can vacuum the whole house on a single charge, but I was curious what it would do if it ran out of battery, so I set it up to fail. It vacuumed a couple rooms before returning to its station to charge. Then it got right back to work in the same area it left off! I’ve been using it every other day since I got it and I never see dust bunnies roaming anymore. It picks up everything from cat hair, litter, dust, leaves, grass - anything small and dry, from my LVP, tile, and carpeted rooms. Best investment I’ve made all year.

I really wanted to love this thing. I almost did. I even spent about an hour getting it to connect to my wifi and the app. It ran well a few times... then the error messages started up. It wasnt just one thing, it was a bunch of things-- roller issues, filter issues, needs help emptying. All of that I could probably look past and deal with, but the biggest issue of all is that the power cable does not properly fit the base, so it wiggles out and looses connection easily. It got to a point where it wouldnt charge the robot unless I was physically holding the cable into the base. I contacted iRobot and they sent me a new cable... same issue. Now Im going to try to return.

I have an I3 and did not have any issues connecting it to my wifi. This I4 will not connect, there is no way to schedule it or access any features without wifi.

Ive had my product since March of 2022 its October Its a piece of crap... Ive had to replace a part that makes the sweeper brushes rotate in April... its October and its DEAD!! NOT WORTH THE HEADACHE!!!

This is probably my first 1 star review on Amazon. We were so disappointed. We had an Ecovac w 2 brushes that worked amazingly. It would only get stuck if it climbed over a cord or bulk that it couldnt get over. This roomba only has 1 brush and stops if theres anything AT ALL in the eay. A line needle or piece of a leaf and rooba cries for help dies in place and after 2 months of owning this overpriced piece of junk, we have yet to get it to clean a sinlge room! It has all the bells and whistles but cannot do its basic function. I thought we would try out the name brand and we are very fisappointed. The only reaspn we replaced our ecovac was because it was an older model thst did not work with 5G at our new home. Will never buy roomba again.

I have two dogs and wood floors. I use it everyday to clean up the dog hair

I expected this to be at least as good as my other 5 year old robot vacuum, but this is much much worse. First of all it is super loud. I was trying to watch tv in my apartment, and even with the volume way up, couldnt hear anything over the vacuum. Second of all, when i finally decided to shut it off and put it back on charging station, it asked me if i wanted it to empty itself, and i said yes. I activated another super loud function: emptying, but after waking up all my neighbors for few minutes, it finally gave up and said its clogged. The last straw was when i wanted it to clean a specific area, but the app doesnt have that functionality. I physically have to pick it up and place it into the mess i want it to clean up. Might as well get a normal vacuum cleaner. Cant believe my 5 year old robot vacuum could do all that quietly and nicely, while this expensive pos is being sold today.
