Roborock S4 Robot Vacuum
Discontinued

The Roborock S4 has been replaced with the Roborock S4 Max, a newer model with additional features and capabilities.

For more information about the newer model, read our Roborock S4 Max Review.

Roborock's S4 has been a chart-topping robot vacuum since it was released. In Roborock's model line, the S4 is the lowest priced of the more advanced S-line. The S4's laser navigation is excellent, and the vacuum-only robot does a great job with not only getting around, but doing so without getting stuck.

As far as longevity goes, the S4's lithium-ion battery will propel it for 150 minutes in balanced mode. Roborock claims that 150 minutes equates to vacuuming 2,700 square feet. Suction is impressive, too.

High-tech features include zone cleaning, Virtual Walls and Virtual No-go Zones. The Roborock App for iPhone and Android allows scheduled cleanings and selecting cleaning area by room.
