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

This lil guy cleans really well! And the automatic emptying is really handy compared to my old one that we have to dump out. The emptying process is incredibly loud like an airplane taking off, removed one star bc I have to cover my ears when it gets back to the base

Having a breed that sheds daily, this product has been a lifesaver. I no longer have to worry about vacuuming three times a day, knowing that the roomba will take care of it highly recommend, if you have pets.

My first one stopped working, but they replaced it and ever since is working better then i thought-it would. The first one Sometimes id find it jammed up , or it was trying to eat cords or rugs up or flipped over. So far nothing like has happened.

Expectations: robot silently keeps the house clean with a 45 day auto emptying bag. Reality: noise levels are uncomfortable on hardwood or carpet. Takes an hour to clean 400 square feet, then gets tangled in hair and requires manual service. It will not set up without wifi, I spent over an hour trying to use a hotspot, it would not go though activation, so a couple times I did run it manually by pushing the button. One thing I did not hear mentioned is the NOISE, that thing is whirring, sucking and bumping into objects. It’s not pleasant to be in the same apartment while it cleans, definitely not for a work from home arrangement. What prompted me to write this review is the fact that the first ever scheduled run after connecting to wifi simply failed. I come in and find the robot dead. Later I see a notification on my phone with a cleaning instructions. I ended up taking out both brushes and cutting the hair which is tangled at both bases. Previously I cut hair from the triangular spinner. So here goes my dream of low maintenance automatic cleaning. I thought it would keep cleaning for over a month before needing my attention .The hair (over 20 inches long) is not going away. So it will keep jamming every few runs. The speed is not great, our house is mostly empty hardwood with some rugs. The history says it cleaned 400 square feet in an hour. None of the jobs ever were completed, mostly because I got tired of the noise. I moved the base station a number of times, and each map is broken, looks like I need to do another reset after finding a permanent position. Overall, mediocre. I hope the motor would not burn out due to the hair situation

I wish I hadn’t bought this, even with a steep discount. It is terrible! Takes FOREVER to clean about 1,000 square feet of our home. It supposedly has a map of the house yet it bumbles around constantly like a blind mouse. It cannot navigate very well around things like chairs and couches. Seriously, for the money it needs to be BETTER. Jobs take several hours because it can’t figure out where to go so it wastes battery driving around, no even cleaning. So it has to go back and charge before it can complete the job. I’m watching it right now and it isn’t using any kind of pattern or rhyme or reason as it bumbles around my living room. Roomba blew it with this one.

yes, its loud when the house is asleep, but a welcome sight midday. weve 2 dogs & this keeps up easily. sounds like a jet taking off when it empties. easy to set-up & app makes it seamless. voice command works but name your rooms simply & distinctly. dont know why I waited so long to get one...

It just quit. The company sent a new battery but it did not fix the problem, now the year warranty is out. Going to have to use the extended warranty that I have.

So I’ve been eyeing these vacuums for a while. We are a family of 4, 2 young kids, 2 cats and 1 dog. I was tired of vacuuming and arguing with my SO over vacuuming so invested in one of these. Pros: Easy to set up Vacuum collection is great as you dont need to empty the robot all the time Suction is good. Even sucked to the cat litter up! Managed to navigate the tile to the hardwood which is a big ledge. Downside: I felt like it cleaned my kitchen 8x before venturing into the living room. The whole “goes in rows” didn’t seem to work well as I was watching the machine like a hawk and it didn’t just go in rows. When the machine did make it the living room, it kept diverting back to the kitchen… not sure why. Lastly, after a 56 minute constant clean, the robot didn’t make it back to home base to change. It just died on the floor and I had to pick it up. Lastly, because it kept circulating the kitchen, in the 58 minute clean it never made it to the living room. As a result, I persuaded my SO to buy me the upgraded j6 in hope for a better performance to fix all my complains. Standby for that post.

Where has this my been all my life. My new best friend.

Works well for keeping wood floors clean. The one problem I encountered with the iRobot i4 was during set up. I created an account on the iRobot Home app, but the i4 was not syncing to the wifi network. I also bought a M6 iRobot mop and there were no issues connecting the mop to the app to my iPhone. I have an iPhone 8 and there is currently an issue with the iRobot Home app and iPhone. I was able to get the i4 to sync and connect through the app with my wifes Samsung phone. After that I can see the i4 on my iPhone, start and stop vacuum jobs, and program which rooms Id like cleaned. I am able to look at the data the vacuum provides after each use. It tells me how long it was running, what areas of the house it vacuumed, how many square feet were cleaned. It is used daily and keeps dirt and pet hair down and out of the way.
