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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Dislike how many boxes the package came with and the vacuum is a bit noisy. Other than that, we are pleased with how clean our floor is once the cleaning is complete.

This roomba was amazing, it mapped out our whole apt and would vacuum everything - so easy to turn it on and leave for the morning. It is a bit loud, so we can’t run it while we are in the same space; our dog also hates it. We did have to return it within a month because our left wheel died, but will be getting another one.

Works well but is loud.

Suction seems good on a vinyl floor. We have tons of pet hair and it gets it. Seems to hit every area. Gets easily hung up by the overhang of our stairs and then asks me to move it to new location, which is a little annoying. It’s not whisper quiet while vacuuming but when it goes to the base and empties itself it’s very loud for about 5 seconds. If you’re not home, who cares! Still an amazing feature well worth the extra $.

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

I had a robot3 and for a couple of years and got very frustrated with it. It would stop and say drop off detected when it was on a perfectly flat floor with no drop off anywhere in sight. Sometimes I would find it in the middle of a room just going aimlessly in circles. It would go into a corner and just get stuck. Took a long time to get finished. I got the robot4 and what a huge difference. It does not get lost, it does the whole house pretty quickly (1 story, 3 bedroom). It also does not get stuck on anything. They must have upgraded the software and improved the sensors. I am very happy with the robot4 and its overall performance.
