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

Roomba i4+ purchased off the Treasure truck listing. So far, a little disappointing. First off, to get it so sync up with the app - ALMOST impossible. Was just about to pack it up to return it and all of a sudden it linked. Not a great start. It did link up with Alexa quickly. A couple other notes, you can only map ONLY ONE room. Holy cow. Really? Thats disappointing. You can name all kinds of rooms, but you only save ONE room. Also, when it returned to the home base it dumped a bunch of crap that it had gathered up at the bottom of the ramp it sits on. It seems to do a fairly good job picking stuff up. It also did really well getting under things without getting stuck, over minor cords and thinner carpets. You do need to pick up shoes, etc. You do need to clear the side brush of human hair. The self emptying part seems to work fairly well, unless that is the reason it dumped stuff at the base .. (?) Then there is the part that you have to look up a use manual. Nothing comes with it. Not even how to empty the base! We use Youtube. Overall, the price was good. But youll need a lot of patience and ability (understanding) about how to get the manual or instruction on how to use. I am on the fence. Not sure I can recommend it just yet. I never hesitate to update my reviews should new info seem useful. All my reviews reflect my honest, personal experience with the reviewed item - your experience may be different. I receive/accept NO free products or discounts that are not available to all shoppers.

I have an I3 and did not have any issues connecting it to my wifi. This I4 will not connect, there is no way to schedule it or access any features without wifi.

iRobot was sent with the regular dust bin, not the automatic disposal compatible bin. Plan on buying the right part to get it to empty on its own, which runs about $70. The robot itself has great suction and does a good job on pet hair.

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

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.

I dont know why I allowed myself to go so long without having a Roomba - seriously. The machine itself is the perfect size to go under beds, chairs, and couches but strong enough to capture even the tiniest granular of dirt. I have three cats and the Roomba (unintentionally) provides so much entertainment for them - although they dont engage with the vacuum, they enjoy watching it seamlessly maneuver around the apartment. The docking station is a game-changer and increases the automation and hands-off nature of the product. It cleans very well, however I dont like that I cannot manipulate the map drawn as I do have some areas that Id prefer the Roomba not to tread into. I have a moderately sized apartment and am not too bothered by this, but if you have a larger space it might be something to think about.

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.

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.

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!!

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