According to our robot vacuum expert
The iRobot Roomba i3554 has an Automatic Dirt Disposal at the charging dock. This means you don't have to worry about emptying the dust container on a regular basis. The only thing left to do for you, is to check the vacuum cleaner bag in the reservoir. If it's completely full, you can throw it away and replace it in no time.
High suction powerThe suction power of the i3554 is 10 times higher compared to the Roomba 600 series. As a result, the robot vacuum sucks up more dirt in one go and even the fine dust is vacuumed. In addition, it blows its exhaust air to the side. As a result, the robot vacuum no longer spreads dust throughout the room.
Control and Smart HomeVia the app on your phone, you can see exactly where the robot is or indicate when you want it to go for a spin. Or you ask Alexa or Google to turn on the robot. Is the battery empty? The vacuum will drive back to the charging dock where it empties its dust container.
iRobot Home AppAn important advantage of the iRobot Home app is that you can fully personalize every cleaning job. You put together your cleaning schedules per room in the house. The Robot Status Card shows the estimated cleaning time and the elapsed cleaning time per room. It's possible to pause or locate the robot if it's stuck.

Robot vacuum cleaners remain fairly expensive, although it is half cheaper than the most expensive Roomba with Clean Base. I actually wanted to buy the i7 first (not iRobot's most expensive but a bit more expensive than this i3554) but I have a fairly basic apartment, ground floor and little mess on the floor that the robot could get entangled in. I don't need any demarcation or "no go" areas, no pets and no kids so thought this cheaper version would be good enough and it's true, at least after the first two full cleaning tasks I'm very satisfied.
The purchase of a new robot vacuum cleaner was mainly motivated by the Clean Base, so the automatic vacuuming, emptying of the waste bin of the Roomba to a dust bag that will last several months. That works really great. Now I no longer have to empty a bin with dust over a garbage bag every week. In addition, my previous robot vacuum cleaner was already from 2016 and I could no longer put it on my current 5 Ghz WiFi. The old one was a Neato BotVac, I could only configure it with a lot of hassle on a 2.4 Ghz WiFi network, so I no longer had a workable app. I went back from Neato to my first robot vacuum cleaner brand iRobot/Roomba and I am very satisfied. Installing is a piece of cake and within minutes the Roomba i3554 was on my WiFi network and showed up in the iRobot Home app.
I once continuously monitored the Roomba with a full cleaning job and it eventually got everywhere it could reach. Sometimes I don't see the logic, but unlike my very first Roomba (10 years ago), this i3554 has much more logic than I was used to. He usually goes in a straight-line pattern. What matters in the end is the end result and that was that after 1hr 17min my Roomba was ready and sucked everywhere it could go. I kept a very close eye on that one time.
In short, with my own home situation, I can heartily recommend this Roomba + Clean Base. The Clean Base is a real hit.

I'm amazed at how accurately the iRobot vacuums the house. The only thing he has trouble with are cables on the floor, but otherwise he finds his way around the house just fine and doesn't miss a spot. You have to time it well when you decide to vacuum, ideally when you are not at home. The device makes quite a bit of noise and you don't want to be run over. The iRobot can be operated with a simple app that allows you to track progress and the end result and also set personal schedules. Our living room does it in 40 minutes for a total surface of 45m2, which has quite a few obstacles. My wife who was very skeptical at first is completely convinced and now even starts talking to the robot as if it were a pet. All in all highly recommended and I am considering buying these for all floors in the house

I've had the iRobot Roomba i3+ for almost 2 weeks now to test. It's a very interesting thing to see such a Robot Vacuum Cleaner, almost entertaining in this day and age when you can't do much. Installing the app and setting everything up was another challenge. This didn't work as quickly and easily as I expected. In the end it worked with the help of my partner. Then he was allowed to vacuum the first room. This went pretty well. Fits under some of the furniture, not all of it, but that was to be expected. But in general a good result on the laminate. Then he was allowed to vacuum the hallway. Here is low-pile carpet. Here the vacuum cleaner did very well. Got hairs out that I can't get out with my wired vacuum cleaner with bag. So very satisfied with this. After the Roomba was ready, a good amount of hair had to be removed. It took a while to see how this was done, but it worked. These were mainly hairs that I could never get out with the normal vacuum cleaner. After this thorough first cleaning, he hasn't found that many hairs anymore. Then the kitchen, which is tiled. Here he kind of got confused and kept vacuuming the same places over and over. After a google search and tried a reset again, it still missed spots. There were some crumbs that were very easy to vacuum up, but he kept driving around these. Unfortunately, this happened later in several rooms, he kept hitting the wall and furniture. You would think it would create a kind of map of the room (you can also see this in the app afterwards), but this doesn't work very well. For example, he could not find the home station a number of times and he continued to drive against a wall that was in the direction of the home station. He also keeps bumping against the same furniture and does not avoid obstacles at all. In terms of sound, I think it's great. It makes many times less noise than a traditional vacuum cleaner. Of course it takes a lot longer. The battery life is about one and a half hours and can easily vacuum multiple rooms (if it doesn't get lost). When he has finished vacuuming the room, he will automatically return to the home station. Here it empties itself into the bag in the homestation. This makes roughly the sound of a traditional vacuum cleaner. This is only a few seconds though, so I don't mind this. The properties state that he can vacuum a maximum of 100m2 per battery charge, he certainly does not achieve this. I think he gets about 60m2. Maybe this has to do with furniture etc. You can also pick up the Roomba and have a room vacuumed separately. This is better than having the Roomba do the whole house. he can easily get over the sills, but he just loses his way. After he has done the room, you can place him in front of the home station again and press the home button and then he will go back to the home station to empty and recharge. In the app you can keep track of everything and see the whole history of where he has vacuumed. Here you can also see where the "worse" dirt was. It's nice to see this map of your house. What I also find useful is that you can link it to your google home. Then you can tell google to start vacuuming, and it will automatically vacuum the house! In addition, the automatic empty station is also useful. This means you don't have to empty the vacuum cleaner as often yourself and you can use a vacuum cleaner bag that is in the home station. My only regret is that if you don't want him to do the hallway and other rooms, you have to keep the doors closed. You can just say go do this room now. the only option is the whole house. In addition, it does not get into the corners very well, because of the round design. The i7, for example, does have this Smart Maps function. Overall a nice addition for your home and in this way it takes little or no effort to vacuum every day (which is nice for me with a house dust mite allergy), but so far it does not work as well as I hoped. The biggest drawback I found is that he sometimes gets lost. I'm not sure if this is because he's "new" in the house and has yet to sort of get to know the rooms, or if this is going to stay. Looking at the features of this Roomba and others in the series (i7 for example), I personally would prefer to see more features. Plus, the suction is good and if it doesn't get lost and gets everywhere, it's really clean. I haven't used the normal vacuum cleaner since I got the Roomba! I'm not convinced yet if this is a perfect match for me, but we'll see how attached I get to it in the coming weeks.
