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

Oh My Lanta I dont think Ive been this happy about a vacuum ever! The whole time it was mapping my house and cleaning at the same time just made my day! I cant stop smiling! It did a fantastic job cleaning and mapped my house pretty impressively! The app is really easy to use too! Best Purchase EVER!!!! Adding an Edit: I also wanted to point out that I do have hardwood floors, that do have runner rugs all throughout the house and my Roomba does great with transitioning from hardwood to carpet. I didnt have a problem with it connecting to my WIFI or with the App. It does say that it takes a couple times cleaning to map out your house just right. But after the first time my Roomba cleaned it had mapped out my house pretty nicely. If I could Id give my Roomba 10 stars!!

This is the best one I’ve ever purchased. It’s my 3rd one and I love it the most.

This is the fourth Roomba I have purchased. This is likely the last Roomba I will ever purchase. I bought it for the self-emptying feature so that I didnt have to remember to empty the bin every night. I also liked having a smart map so that I could schedule it to clean different areas of the house each day. The battery life was also longer than the previous robot, so, between scheduling smaller areas and the extended battery life, it would fun for a much shorter period each day. Well, it all sounded great until it came to actually performing. Some days it would back off the platform while turning get stuck--no cleaning those days. Other days it would report that it was stuck. When I came home it would be sitting in the middle of a room with no obstacles anywhere close. Other (many) days it would report that it had rebooted and just be sitting with its light blinking. Most of those days it would report an error with multiple options to clear. I tried all of them to no avail. I bought the vacuum to be a timesaver, not to spend my time troubleshooting a buggy, unstable system. iRobot, Ive enjoyed your products for over a decade. If this is the best you can produce now, Im afraid we will have to part ways.

I bought this at Christmas 2021. It does it’s job eventually. It does not always go in rows as advertised. It tends to like certain areas more than others. Some places it goes back to multiple times, where other places in a room it goes only once. It does not go back to its base to empty or charge. I am disappointed with those features. The suction is good.

It’s been a pretty great vacuum, it’s a little to loud to run while I’m home but it has a nice auto feature to run when I leave which makes up for it. 18 months later running once a week the battery life isn’t what it used to be and having more trouble keeping it running. It’s been well worth it though, I get a lot of compliments on how good the floors look

So, we bought one of these for our main floor. Had it for a few weeks, and loved it. Created a map on the first cycle, and all was good. So we bought another one for the second floor. This one was on the spectrum I think... Ran it probably 7 times, and it would not create a map. Then it started running in circles, going up and down the same area, just acting weird. Tried contacting support, useless. I put in the ticket almost two weeks ago and still havent heard back. We ended up sending it back to Amazon, and got a new unit. This one is doing much better but still had some issues. On the first couple runs, it cleaned our whole house but for some reason only created half a map. Then when it would clean, it wouldnt go any further even though the map ended right in our hallway. It would stop in the middle of the hallway and go back. Deleted the map, then had it to another everywhere run. This finally worked. So, I would recommend it but but only because the first example we bought did such a great job. Hopefully both of these dont need much support, because Im not sure support is even available given my experience... Update 11/25/2022: The 2nd floor unit has been doing pretty good. Both of our i4s have issues periodically. Sometimes they just decide they will not finish the whole floor and report back they did, or get caught on something stupid like an electric piano stand. Or, occasionally the map wont load. Overall though, they do a very good job of keeping the floors clean. (Upgrading to a 4 star rating) Most errors can be cleared by simply rebooting them. We also bought a refurbished i7 for our finished basement which is mostly carpet. The i7 is a much smarter robot, and hasnt got caught or had any problems yet. Its much more efficient at cleaning too. If you can afford the i7, it will be less hassle but the i4s generally get the job done.

I’m baffled how this robot can consistently get stuck somewhere in a 1500 sqf space after mapping it out, making constant trips to recharge and worse completely kill its battery again and again when going nowhere. Somehow my previous apparently stupid robot vacuum was fine for years. But two months in I want i want to throw this out despite the high price tag. In a given week of daily cleanings it usually manages to clean the apartment once. Every other time I must save it. It’s just silly.

This is not the model that maps the room so it runs a little haywire but we have it clean on schedule twice a week and I’d say it hits most places weekly. It handles pet hair better than expected but we have one rug, that because of the texture I’m guessing, it rolls some of the hair into little balls and never picks it up.

Suction is alright and moves around okay. Super details below if you wna keep going. I think it is cool for daily, but I would definitely say you still gotta do your floors depending on the level of traffic. I use this daily but will also sweep daily. The mapping is alright but the vacuum constantly is stuck even when all stuff out the way. I have remapped several times. It does get annoying that I cannot have this run while I am at work, I have to be present in order to utilize.

This is my first robot vacuum and I was surprised that, for as long as robot vacuums have been around, the lack of suction on this vacuum, we’ll, sucks. There are several little pieces of leaves or grass that are still there after this vacuum goes over and over and over. Also, it didn’t really occur to me how antiquated it is to use vacuum bags again. I think we’ve moved on from the vacuum bag era. to offer a container that can be emptied once full seems like a better value to me. I would not recommend buying this vacuum.
