I have had 2 iLife robotic vacuums and love them both. I can’t remember the model of the first one, but presently have the A4s. The other one died right after a year (always buy that extended warranty). It’s over a year old and runs for 2 hours and 40 minutes (house has hardwood floors), unless I forget to clean the hair out of the brush roller (I have long hair) every day and it slows it down about 10 minutes.
The only problem I have with these vacuums is replacement parts. You have to hit and miss on whether the parts are going to fit your vacuum. The brush roller, for instance – on Amazon, I’ve yet been able to find one that a reviewer doesn’t state that the replacement roller fits the vacuum, but when you turn it on, it stops within a few feet with an error (red light) because the brush is too long on the roller. I don’t understand why iLife will not sell parts on their website, or at least sell them on Amazon. What is the point of buying a vacuum if you have to spend so much money buying replacement parts that may or not fit? I’ve also bought some really crappy replacement brushes (the spinny ones) on Amazon. It’s pathetic that you can no longer trust Amazon reviews, and the problem with that is the sellers who give away free items for reviews. It sucks. I have to go elsewhere to review items before purchasing.

Be aware that ILife changed the specs on the battery they are including with the A6. Now they are only stating a run time of a mere 90 minutes. So it has dropped substantially from when I bought my unit. They had changed the specs in their online manual, although my printed ones still show a runtime of 160 minutes.

I’ve been talking to ILife about this and they seem rather cavalier about this change they made behind the scenes.

Hi. I just bought A4s, it seems a better choice for the price. But i still can’t figure out how to activate that MiniRoom cleaning mode…it’s not specified at instruction leaflet. Could anyone explain that? Thanks in advance

Is it worth buying the A6 model at the A4s?
Does it have much difference in performance?

I currently have an A4 (no A4s)

Thank you
