iRobot Roomba i4 EVO specifications
The numbers that matter first, then every fact by group. As published by the maker or the shop we read it from.
Dimensionsrobot and dock
From the published dimensions. The robot passes under furniture with 10 cm of clearance or more.
Suction and brushes 2 facts
- Anti-tangle brush
A brush that guides hair to the side instead of letting it wind around the shaft. It saves the cutting work in homes with long hair or pets.
- yes
- Dirt detection
A sensor notices where more dirt lies, at the doormat for example, and the robot cleans that patch longer or a second time.
- yes
Mopping 1 fact

How the mop is built: flat pads, two spinning discs or a roller. Discs press harder on dried-on dirt, a roller rinses itself while it works.

How the robot maps your home and follows that map. Lidar measures with a laser and works in the dark, a camera looks along and recognises more.
- gyroscope
- Obstacle avoidance
How the robot sees loose things on the floor, such as cables, socks or a pet accident. A camera with depth sensing sees more than a bumper that reacts on contact.

The highest threshold the robot takes, as the maker states it. Measure your own: the step into a bathroom or onto a balcony is often higher.
