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

Initially, I really thought my Roomba i4 vacuum was working as it moved flawlessly around my house seemingly cleaning my hard tile and carpeted floors. After about 10 uses, I noticed an issue where it kept telling me to empty the bag, which I didnt understand since the bag hardly had any debris in it so I thought maybe dust, dirt, or dog hair was blocking a sensor so I used microcloth and my 20yr old upright Hoover to clean any unseen dust off my Roomba i4 but this didnt rectify the issue. I then just used my 20yr old upright Hoover vacuum to clean my two SMALL rooms that were carpeted and I then confirmed that the Roomba i4 was definitely not picking up any dirt from floors as I was able to fill an entire Type Y vacuum bag with dirt, dog hair, and dust from a 10x10 sized room. At this point I returned the Roomba and Amazon (who was wonderful) sent me a replacement. The replacement immediately had a problem attaching itself to the app despite all troubleshooting; however I was able to manually push clean on the unit and it zipped around seemingly cleaning the floors. After one entire run around my 2500sq ft home, I followed immediately up with my 20yr old upright Hoover and again was able to fill a bag half full of debris that the Roomba did not pick up due to very poor suction power. I really wanted the Roomba i4 to work due to having a bad back, which makes it difficult for me to vacuum but after trying two units, which had no suction to pick up anything, I found them both defective and an expensive worthless piece of machinery! Amazon was absolutely great in assisting with my return and subsequent refund of these defective Roomba i4 units. Thank you!!

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 $.

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.

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.

Overall this is an excellent product. I can set it do work while Im away from home. Its quieter than my stand up vacuum and can get to hard to reach places like under my fireplace bench. It does have mapping just not the smart mapping that all the other reviews said it as missing. You have the option to join beta testing through the app so who knows maybe itll be added one day. Pros: Self-emptying and charging picks-up pet hair and dirt motivates me to clean where is robot cant go (like my stairs) scheduled cleanings easily done through the app teamwork-I can focus on other areas of my house to clean while to robot is working Cons: Culture of waste created by the company to make profit. The replaceable parts are purposely not meant to last. I can already see that the brushes will need to be replaced in 6 months or less. (Ive had this robot for about a week) Dust bags are disposable not reusable for the i4 Considering all the replacement part youll have to buy over the life time of the product the price point is too high.

Having a self-emptying Roomba takes cleaning to the next level. We had a basic version but it only did an “okay” job of cleaning the floors. And we had to constantly dump it because of dog hair. The i4+ EVO does a great job of cleaning the carpet and hardwood floors AND empties itself. Having the ability to set it on a schedule and let it go is amazing. The only thing is it’s VERY loud when it’s emptying into the bag at the base. Overall I love this vacuum and may have to get another one for upstairs.

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.

Love how this keeps the small stuff cleaned up and I can wrk on other things

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!!

Works great, but is very loud when emptying the dust bin. Is very thorough when cleaning.
