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

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 $.

I figured after the length of time this thing has been around most of the bugs would be worked out. Apparently not. I would not recommend if you have a lot of furniture or throw rugs. This may work well for large empty rooms but not much else. Constantly needs brushes cleaned (mostly long hair) and in the middle of certain rugs just detects a drop off and stops. Once you move it to new location near where it was it loses its ability to detect where it is and abandons the job. Cant finish 4 rooms without recharging first, even though I assume thats because of some throw rugs and bumping into things 100s of times. I can understand chairs and things that can move around and be a problem but walls and things like washers and dryers are pretty stationary. Oh well, gave it a try to see where the technology was and apparently they have a long way to go. Dont waste your money.

I have 5GH wifi and this product only runs on 2.4GH, so back it goes! I never saw that anywhere on the Amazon listing, on the box, in the instructions, only after the connection to the app failed four times did I notice that in the app, thats where it says it. 2 hours of my life I wont get back.

This series is the only few vacuum robots that are not made in China and doesn’t have a camera spying on you. It can also cross thresholds reliably.

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.

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

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...

I’ve only had it plugged in for a day, and when I hand carry it to an area for it to clean, it does a pretty good job. When I first plugged it in, it cleaned the same 3 ft.² of my kitchen four times. There was nothing blocking it, it just kept doing the same area over and over. Vacuums are always going to be loud, and the Roomba itself is relatively loud. But when it empties the receptacle, it sounds like a plane taking off. As suggested from the app you have to download, I’ve been trying to get it to make a smart map of my house, which has four bedrooms. It never gets past the living room, before it just stops with a red light error. I wish the manual explained what all the errors are. It will just say error 69. Or error 99. I just hit the clear the button, and it will start again. Without the map, I can’t set it up like I intended. Hopefully in the next few days, I can get it working as I hoped it would work.

My robot is under 2 years old and doesn’t complete its “jobs” anymore or complete new maps. Robot is very loud and does not suction as good as I would hope. The bag gets full nearly every other cycle. Product description says it can last up to 60 days, but I can’t keep mine past 2. I’m upset I spent so much money for so little life

I didn’t realize the device runs on 2.4G. I originally thought this would be an issue since I run my WiFi on 5G. Turns out my modem is dual band and so there is no issue at all. There was nothing in the description. I thought I would have to return it. It works great. My favorite features are the self emptying and the mapping. I can have it run in the main part of the house or the entire house. It’s a keeper.
