Expert Reviews
What reviewers liked
Battery life is where the iLife A4s really distinguishes itself. It has an estimated battery life of 140 minutes, and in testing I got about 120 minutes with mixed mode use. That's well over the typical 60 to 90 minutes I typically see with robot vacuums.
Picked up 12.9 grams of dirt per run—more than some popular iRobot models, the iLife is exceedingly light at just 4.9 pounds. Our impact sensors never recorded a bump powerful enough to scuff furniture or knock anything over.

the iLife A4s is meant for maintenance. That means it's more suited to keeping floors clean than cleaning dirty floors. While its cleaning is impressive compared to other robot vacuums, it still pales in comparison to a full-sized vacuum
