roborock E4 Robot Vacuum Cleaner, Smart Navigation Robotic Vacuum, 2000Pa Strong Suction, 200 min Runtime, Self-Charging, APP Control, Perfect for Pet Hair, Carpet, Larger Home, Works with Alexa

Update, May 2022: Still going strong! I have replaced the brushes as suggested and I keep up on all of the suggested maintenance. This vacuum is one of the best purchases I have ever made! I have it set on a schedule to clean every week-day in the morning after everyone has left for work or school. It is so nice and relaxing to come home to clean floors everyday and just relax after dinner. Update, Feb. 2020: This vacuum still works great after 1.5 years. The phone app continues to make improvements (some of which are massive and very useful). The only maintenance I have needed to do has been related to cleaning the sensors and filter. You can now edit your map to contain "no-go zones" and "invisible walls" for areas you do not want your bot to go. With the new application improvements, users also have options for: Saved Maps Carpet Mode Do Not Disturb Mode Timer (with many options for repeating such as any day/time/cleaning-mode you want and multiple timers may be added to have different timed cleanings on different days of the week that you choose) Voice and Volume options Cleaning Mode (Silent, Standard, Medium, Turbo) Remote Control Cleaning history (with the map from each time) Maintenance (the app tracks the robot maintenance for the filter, side brush, main brush, and sensors) I have left my initial review here so you can see the improvements that are being made. If you want a great robot vacuum, you want this vacuum; a majority of the negative issues below (in my initial review) have been resolved through updates in the past 1.5 years. Imagine the progress that will be made in the future. You can't go wrong with this bot. Initial Review, July 2018: This is an excellent robotic cleaner. It does great on hard floors and transitions wonderfully to high pile rugs (some rugs it gets hung up bad in because of the sweeper `any robotic vacuum with the sweeper will get hung up` but most rugs it does good on). I really like the Wi-Fi and application (Mi Home) features. I am able to vacuum while I am at work. The zone cleaning is very handy and useful. My reasons for only giving 4 stars and not 5 stars: It does not appear to be compatible with Amazon's Alexa (there appears to be a skill for Mi however the reviews say it does not work with the vacuum. The Mi Home application does not allow for reoccurring cleaning times with the zone cleaning. The map does not save (the vacuum newly maps your home each time it starts). This is a good thing because you can move furniture and not worry that it won't be mapped. The mopping feature is nice however instructions specifically state not to allow for docking while the mopping attachment is in use. The nature of the design of the mopping feature creates an issue for carpet because when you mop everything is mopped (including carpet and all). These negatives could be overlooked however for the price tag the application features should be more accommodating. I don't regret buying this vacuum however you can get a less expensive vacuum with the same application features that does a good job vacuuming. I feel like I paid extra for the mopping feature which is useful however not useful enough to bring the price tag a couple hundred dollars above others that have all of the same features except for the mopping feature.

This is my first robot vacuum cleaner. We have named it Hazel after the maid on the old TV series by the same name. I did a lot of research before I made my purchase and it paid off. This machine has met all of my expectations. I was able to wait and buy the second generation US version sold by the manufacturer, Roborock, here on Amazon. That meant no European power plug, no Chinese manual, no connection issues, and a 1 year manufacturer warrantee supported here in the US. I downloaded the Mi Home application from the Google Store and got things set up easily. I had no problems using the US server to find and add Hazel to my 2.4 GHz WiFi system. After giving Hazel a full charge, and doing some minor pickup around the house, I turned her loose on the main floor. Floor plans show the main floor of my house is about 1100 square feet. It is about half tile and half low pile carpet with a couple of small somewhat thin traffic rugs. As an Engineer, I was impressed with what I observed from the algorithms the device used to map, navigate, and escape tight places. I was mesmerized watching it's progress on the Mi Home application map as it cleaned. You could tell that it divided the area to be cleaned into about 3 meter or 10'x10' blocks. It would clean the perimeter first, and then systematically worked back and forth in rows within the block. For areas that didn't fit nicely in the row pattern, it would go back and finish them before moving on to the next block. I followed Hazel around on her maiden voyage to check to see if there was anything that needed to be adjusted to make her job easier. To my surprise, there was not much to do besides some obvious things like pick up clothing, charging cords, and small toys left down by the grandkids. The tour was also helpful to make some minor adjustments. Hazel's laser detection system (LDS), scans at a distance of about 3.5" above the floor. Anything at that height, that the laser can bounce off of, will be seen as a obstacle or barrier. With this in mind, I have some floor length curtains that hang down to within an inch of the floor. While Hazel can clean next to them just fine, she thinks the pleats are a very bumpy wall. She will swivel quite a few times to be careful of them. The curtains have ties backs, so I use them before vacuuming, and Hazel zooms right along the wall now that the curtains are high enough not to be detected. I use the "Balanced" cleanup mode with the carpet mode turned on so that it goes up to maximum suction when a carpeted surface is detected. This appears to work very well. I did notice towards the end of her maiden voyage that there were a few noticeable spots of specs and lint she did not entirely pick up. I was a little disappointed until I checked the dust bin when she finished. It was completely full and packed to the point of reducing the suction. Hazel does not have a full dust bin sensor. She will continue cleaning until she has covered the entire scheduled area. Now, after that first time of cleaning under beds and furniture that a normal vacuum can't get to, the dust bin doesn't quite get entirely full and the suction stays good. While Hazel will clean around every chair leg to try and get every inch covered, we sometimes place the chairs upside down on the table to provide less obstacles for cleaning when company is expected. I run Hazel about 3-4 times a week on the entire main floor with an additional 2 -3 times as a zone cleanup to police grandkid crumbs. She has used at most, 60% of her battery to clean my entire main floor when I had her on maximum suction. Your mileage may vary. She has never failed to make it back to the charger. Not only that, she appears to take a smart route back to it with no fussing around like she's looking for something in the dark. Hazel has never gotten stuck with one exception. It was my fault. After many successful clean ups, we now trust Hazel to finish the entire floor while we are not there. One of these times she sent me a message on my phone that she was having some difficulty. Her laser system appeared to be jammed because she couldn't get any data on a path to proceed. She suggested I use a pencil to help the stuck LDS start spinning again. I was not home at the time, but I could see her present location on the map in the application. She was in our walk-in closet right where my wife had a couple of dresses hanging that almost touched the floor. I concluded that Hazel had driven between two of them that were very close together. The fabric moved and draped over the LDS totally blinding Hazel. I saw at the bottom of the map in the application there was a icon labeled "GO". I used this to place a point on the map about 2 to 3 feet from Hazel's currently shown location and told her to "go" there. She was able to proceed to that point and finish the rest of the scheduled cleaning. I noticed on the map that she carefully avoided the dresses on the subsequent passes that came near them. I was very happy to be able to assist Hazel from afar. Needless to say, now if we leave our walk-in closet door open and expect Hazel to clean it, we inspect for and move any very low hanging clothing. Recently, the Mi Home application had a red dot in the settings next to an entry that let me know a new firmware update was available. After telling it to go ahead with the update, it took about 10 minutes or less with no further intervention from me. Both the application and Hazel told me when the update was finished. After the firmware update, the cleaning blocks appear to have been increased to about 4 meters square or about 13'x13'. Hazel only has one rotating side brush on her right side as she is going forward. She also has just one side obstacle sensor on that same side. By design, her right side is always the one next to walls or going around obstructions such as chair legs, thus always sweeping the edge particles into the vacuum path. Hazel is smart when tight areas or entanglement opportunities present themselves. She uses her sensors and bumper to cautiously test options to escape. Her spinning side brush has flexible arms and resists winding cords around it. I haven't witnessed it yet, but I have read where she will reverse the direction of the spin momentarily to attempt to untangle. Hazel is very careful. She works diligently at figuring out strange conditions. I have read reviews of other robot vacuums where faced with a difficult situation, they would stubbornly continue to spin their wheels until the battery died. One person reported that this behavior wore some grooves in their carpet. Some people have noted that Hazel doesn't go backward when she can no longer go forwards. She is blind going backwards. Her proximity sensor and bumper are on the front. Hazel will instead spin in place and face the next direction she would like to go moving forward. This is not unlike a human. Our sensors are also in front such as our eyes and outstretched arms. If we encounter a dead-end in a dimly lit hallway, we turn around to exit, not back our way back down the hall. I have not used the mopping feature nor did I intend to when I made my purchase since I had 50% carpet. I didn't assume that the mopping function would be anything close to an actual scrubbing of the floors. I may try it as part of a zoned cleanup one day, but the vacuum does everything I wanted from it, so it is a feature I'm not worried about exploring. Instead, I use Hazel to police our tiled areas of any debris before we use our dedicated Hoover FloorMate to thoroughly scrub the tile. This vacuum does not have Amazon Alexa support other than turning it on or off. I have installed the Smart Home Assistant software on one of my computers that is on all the time. With help from the Internet, I was able to link the Mi Vacuum control to my Alexa devices. I have now set up the Alexa routines: "Alexa, start Hazel", "Alexa, pause Hazel", "Alexa, restart Hazel", "Alexa, where is Hazel", and "Alexa, tell Hazel to go home". While not the easiest thing for the average user to do, it does show it may be possible to add additional support for Alexa in future updates. I highly recommend this smart cleaning assistant. While maybe not perfect, it appears to be the best blend of well thought out technology, cleaning ability, build quality, and value at the current time. Hazel has earned her place as a live-in maid in this home.

I’m replacing a Neato that lost online support as the company caved. This one has some impressive performance for the price. First, I have no use for the ”mop” function that just drags a wet mat behind it. But for vacuum it works well. I don’t think it took more than 10 minutes to completely map my 1700 sq ft house. I can select what rooms it should clean, and other choices for cleaning. One big pain in the butt, however, is (a) it sometimes ends, returns to home and claims to be charging when it’s not. Then the battery discharges, and it notifies you it’s shutting down. Now we get the resulting problem - (b) it forgets your network login info and you have to try multiple times with their klugy process to get it back on your network. Otherwise,than that hassle, I’m pleased with this vac.

Urunu alirken sanki gereksiz bir luks mu diye kendimize soruyorduk ama denemek istedik ve iyiki denemisiz. Oncelikle urunun supurmesi, yazilimi, kullanimi, temizlemesi vs herseyi cok basarili (paspasi haric). Ilk acilista kendisi sensorleri sayesinde evinizin haritasini cikariyor ve hafizaya aliyor. Sonrasinda (yeni gelen guncelleme ile) odalari tek tek secip temizletebiliyorsunuz. Sadece belirli bir alani da secip temizletebiliyorsunuz. Girebildigi her yere giriyor ve hic bosluk birakmiyor diyebilirim. Halimiz olmadigi icin o konuda yorum yapamayacagim ancak uzun tuylu bir kopegimiz var ve artik bu urun sayesinde ne kadar rahatiz anlatamam. Supurme cok yorucu gibi gelmese de robotu calistirip baska islerle ilgilenebilmek, hele bu supurme isinin her gun yapilmasi ve o kadar dokulen kila tuye ragmen tertemiz bir evde oturmak cok guzel bir duygu. Paspas konusunda ise yine idare eder ama yukaridan bir guc uygulayamadigi icin hafifce islak bezle siler gibi dusunun ve beklentinizi ona gore olusturun. Ben yine de paspaslisini alirdim, kuru supurme yaninda islak bezle silmesi de daha iyi. Herkese tavsiye ediyorum, alali bir ay oldu ve cok memnunuz.

Let's start with the bad - my only regret is that I haven't bought this earlier. That's it. (Well, also the fact that it costs 50% of NA price in Europe, and they already have the s6 model, eh?) I almost never write reviews, but this time it's so much worth it. I recently started to think that this is the best household purchase I've ever made in my entire life! It literally upgraded my quality of life! Now, in my condo I have a BLACK hardwood floor and two cats. That's enough for the setting - you can imagine how bad it is. Cat hair and litter that they bring out on their paws is enough to require an everyday vacuuming. Now, after I got this robot - I.... haven't.... held..... a broom.... or my upright vacuum.... in my hands.... even once. This is insane! I just set it to vacuum every working day at 4pm, so when i come home - it's pristine clean! Okay, chill. Let’s speak more objectively. 1. It’s damn smart. It gets trough even the tightest spaces of its own size 10/10 times. There has been 0 times that it didn’t get somewhere where I wanted it to go, provided that I removed large objects from the floor. 2. The carpet detection is awesome. It’s off by default, so make sure you enable it right away. What happens is whenever it finds itself on a carpet, it will automatically increase the suction. 3. The app is amazing. First of all, it draws a map of the cleaning area, and this map is very precise – you can tell where the tables, couches, etc. are located. You can use the app to schedule, change settings, draw and name areas on the map, set “don’t go” areas by drawing lines with your finger – it’s extremely convenient. If you suddenly realize that you’re brining somebody home after a party – just one click on the app to remotely send your vacuum to clean before your arrival. 4. It connects to Google Home (and Amazon, I guess). You can use commands like “Hey Google, start cleaning” or “Hey Google, send vacuum to dock” – haven’t discovered anything else. 5. The whole maintenance is emptying the dust bin, which is not big at all. Well, cleaning filters sometimes too, I guess. 6. Make sure that you remove “stringy” things like cords, any kind of ropes, pet toys, etc from the floor. If it finds one, it will most likely suck it in and get stuck. Other “classic” vacumm favorites should also be removed – clothes, small objects, etc. 7. It does get stuck sometimes. You’ll figure out its favorite places to do so, and can manage that. In my case it loved the leg of ironing board – would go over it with one side, and then get stuck. Other times it’s just if you left something on the floor, and it got sucked it, and blocked the brush – you’ll get notification on your phone either way. 8. Can’t speak about the mop attachment – haven’t used, don’t really care – it’s a bonus, not a necessity. So as you may have figured out, it’s a 100% recommendation from me.

É meu primeiro robô aspirador e pesquisei muito antes de comprá-lo, em relação aos concorrentes, ele entrega muita qualidade na sua faixa de preço. Compre e se surpreenda com a sujeira invisível que existe na sua casa, eu confesso que tomei um susto na primeira limpeza. Vai me ajudar muito no dia a dia, seria realmente perfeito se permitisse o uso de desinfetante no compartimento de água, mas um dia chegaremos lá.

Hace un año aproximadamente, escribí una reseña muy positiva de este producto, hoy después de tan solo un año de uso, no recomiendo que compren este producto, ni siquiera había pasado el año y ya me estaba fallando, además de que solo tiene 9 meses de uso porque estuve viviendo más de 3 meses en otra ciudad durante el COVID, después de varios intentos para que funcione, realmente no pensé que fuera a ver algo tan malo, a los 12 meses y medio de haber comprado La Roborock S5, decidí a escribir al customer service; después de varios mensajes, videos enviados y más de un mes, me dicen que tengo que comprar el láser porque está dañado y cuesta 60 Euros y tarda un mes en llegar!! Y customer service no se hace responsable porque “ya expiró la garantía” y a mí me parece un error porque es un producto de más de 500 dólares y no puede ser que lleve 2 meses sin poder usarlo y a tan solo 1 año de haberlo comprado!! Mejor otra marca, esta deja mucho que desear en mi opinión.

La verdad, sin duda es el mejor regalo que me ha dado mi esposo. Ya quiero que me regale otra pues tenemos una casa de dos plantas, y cada que la bajo me da miedo que se me caiga o dañarla. Tenemos dos perritas de tamaño mediano-grande y tiran bastante pelo, pero la roborock lo recoge muy bien. Les daré una lista de los pros y cons: CONS: - El recipiente de la basura es chico y se tapa fácil. Cada que termino de limpiar una planta debo de limpiarlo antes de ponerme a limpiar la otra planta. - Midan súper bien sus camas, pues aun que pasa muy bien por debajo de la mayoría de los muebles, por dos de las camas de mi casa no, por lo que una vez a la semana debo de usar la escoba para aventar la basura (pelos de mis perritas) hacia afuera de la cama y que los recoja. - El mopping device, ese la verdad no es tan bueno, a penas tengo dos semanas con mi roborock pure, y sólo lo he puesto 2 veces. No se si es por el hecho de que recomiendan no ponerle quimicos, sólo agua, pero definitivamente si deja manchitas y pues, debo de terminar trapeando yo. - En cosas que son altas a veces se sube, pero se atora al bajar. Hago este comentario por que siempre se atora en la base del columpio de mi hija. - No es tan silenciosa como se publica. - Se van a necesitar repuestos. Aun no me toca uno, pero por lo que leí deberá de ser al menos una vez al año. Cuando haga estos reemplazos edito mi comentario a ver que tal. PROS: - Recoge toda basura que está a su paso. - Sus sensores son muy buenos, por lo que puedo poner a aspirar la casa en lo que yo trabajo, sin preocuparme de que se caiga por las escaleras (salvo la base del columpio). - La aplicación, aun que no supe guardar dos mapas por separado, después de dos o tres limpiezas, dejó grabadas las dos plantas de mi casa, sólo que lo marca como si fuera una sola parte de la casa. Cabe destacar que aquí las dos plantas se traslapan donde está su dock (sólo lo tengo en la planta alta, pero se marca en el centro y ya sea que limpie planta alta o baja, esa zona se marca de ambas. Honestamente sólo estoy esperando un buen descuento para compararme otro, ya sea la roborcok s6, o la roborock s6 pure.
