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

Is it as good as my regular Shark vacuum? No, not really for carpet. But for hard floors, it’s good for everyday general vacuuming. Especially for the dog hair. And I like that it self empties and I don’t have to watch for the full light and stop it to manually empty it. When my husband got it for me he thought it ran back and forth in a line but it runs rather randomly and doesn’t necessarily finish one room before it leaves back to another and comes back again, but to be fair, it is a pretty open floor plan, but the “map” looks like different rooms. I haven’t tried to tell it to only vacuum a certain room. I recommend if you have hard floors and pets or a lot of dirt being tracked in everyday.

Packaging came a bit torn but that was becuase it was in a “used-very good” condition. It has never been used. Seal was still on it. This thing is doing great! Mapping is still unavailable but it just more run time to explore. This was a bargain for the price I got it for. THANK YOU ROOMBA

I can control it from the app which is perfect. I have it for a pet that is staying for a few days and its cleaning up after him each day. its been a pleasure to have in my home. Noise level could be a little more lower, however, it is a vacuum at the end of the day so you should expect to hear it. The dog is afraid of it. lol

There is a chance that I have a defective unit. I am willing to believe that. Otherwise there is no excuse for how bad this machine is. It came scratched up without me ordering a used one in a box that was almost destroyed and was barely hanging together with loads of tape on the outside. When it comes to actually cleaning it is TERRIBLE. I have a german shepherd so I do have a lot of hair to clean up. I ordered this because I wanted something that could handle the pet hair and clean itself out when it was too full. It does neither of these things. It will barely run for 5 minutes before giving an error for a blocked brush. Now, this might not be a huge issue if it would then go and clean itself out to clear up the issue, but FOR SOME REASON instead of being able to go back to its home base it just sits wherever the error happened and you have to go fetch it. What is the point of the automatic emptying if an error that can be solved by emptying it is never utilized?????? Also when it does go back it sounds like a shopvac, but I guess theres only so much you can ask for. In summation: I thought I was ordering a new device that would mean I had to empty out my vacuum a little less often and instead what I got was a used device that has required a lot more maintenance from me than the offbrand vacuum that I have been using. I may see if a replacement will solve this issue, but if not I dont really understand the point of this device.

I have four small dogs and I don’t know why I waited so long to buy the iRobot Roomba!

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

There’s so much I love about this thing…my apartment has never been cleaner! But, it constantly is getting stuck on a rug, a cat toy, or under my couch. Also, if it decides it doesn’t want to communicate with your wifi is just doesn’t do anything and fails to start. I have to manually reboot it more than I care to, considering it’s supposed to be automated. It also often leaves debris behind if it’s not just right. Also, the battery drains quick, so it’s best to work in areas rather than the whole space, otherwise it has to return and charge for a couple hours before it continues. I recommend this one as the bare minimum Roomba, don’t get anything less than this unless you basically want to do as much work as you would manually vacuuming.

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.

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.

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.
