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

Love the Roombas. I have the more expensive i9 but bought the i4 for another floor. I wish it had the mapping of the i9 so I can do small areas and not the whole floor. Other than that feature, it is great cleaning up dog hair and other debris from carpets and hardwood floors. I have 4 which run every day and do a great job. They are a little noisy on hardwoods.

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.

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.

Have had i4 for a month and am disappointed. On the plus side, it does pick up good and the self-empty feature works good. on the down side, the i4 (basically the same as i3) is random in its vacuuming process. The model is not able to use smart mapping, which is a feature I discovered is available on newer i7 and up models. Smart mapping is really needed on a smart iRobot type vacuum and I wish I knew this before I purchased. I contacted support via email, which took a week to respond, which then confirmed, too bad, your model doesnt have the latest feature and we cant upgrade the firmware Ill keep using it, since it does vacuum, but I am disappointed with the poor programing and features of the i4.

This is my first iRobot but third Robot-Vacuum. So far, I’m very pleased. Once it maps the house it’s off. Best part is I don’t have to remember to empty the bin.

That it doesn’t work with 5g

I have two dogs and wood floors. I use it everyday to clean up the dog hair

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.

Wanted to get this to help manage dog hair in my tiny apartment. It does an okay job on wood/hard floors but is pretty lacking even with a low-pile rug. What’s more disappointing is how often this thing gets stuck, which is literally every time I use it. It will get stuck behind doors, under tables, under the couch, under the bed. If there’s somewhere it can get stuck, it will, and even when you try to help it out, it either goes right back and gets stuck again or just will fritz out and stop working until you carry it back to the dock. Would not recommend this model.

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
