iRobot Scooba - robot vacuum cleaner for wet cleaning

[mowgli]

mowgli,

Calm, only calm (s))))

On charging, the scuba immediately shows a green light, and the state of charge is visible by the speed of the blinking light. When you just put it, it blinks quickly. Charged when it stops flashing completely. An empty tank with clean water with unfinished cleaning or full of dirty water is indicated by a bucket icon that lights up (this is shown directly in a bucket). Stuck - a circle icon with a cross inside.

I store it anywhere and anyway. Most often - where he got stuck and forgot about him there. And if she has brought her to the bathroom, she just stands on the tiled floor.

Drying starts at the end of the wash. It does not dry immediately. If you need to pause in THIS process, press the triangle / two dashes (pause / play button) or ... just pick it up off the floor. If you want to interrupt the procedure completely - just press the on / off button. The play / pause button, in my opinion, during the washing procedure lights up constantly, like the on / off button, and when the drying process starts, it starts blinking, that is, "I'll finish soon, don't shout, mother!"))) ... If you want to move to another room, you don't have to wait for drying. The residual moisture is low and without drying, you will see for yourself. Feel free to turn it off, grab it and drag it when you see fit and when you decide that your floors are already clean. Do not be afraid of her! I use it very rudely, interrupt programs, rearrange the batteries, but she obeys meekly)).

Natasha, I don’t get it, you write that it is being charged with an open tank and dried at the same time. Yesterday I put it on charge with an open tank, but then it does not fully snap into place .. And another question, do you need to dry the brushes separately? And then insert them?

Yesterday I realized how he understands ... mom dear, it seems to me there was not so much trouble with Rumbo, but even how he washed the floors in the kitchen yesterday, already a class-tile, until it crunches, but my floors are uneven, so I did not understand how he dries the floors, puddles remained. I have a kitchen of 12 squares somewhere or a little less, how to turn on the drying? press the triangle? or just pour less water?

The rubber bands on the tank are open when drying, and the tank itself is NOT inserted into the Skuba. Because otherwise the rubber bands cannot be opened. Just on top of it lies and that's it. And most often it is lying around anywhere (where Chucha washed it - there and threw it))). Not buttoned up in Scuba anyway. You can dry the tank even on the balcony. This does not affect battery charging.

I don’t dry the brushes. And in general I am not puzzled by them. Sometimes (not after every cleaning) - mine. That is, I take out the entire pencil case with a brush, unbutton it and mine, because I have a huge amount of short dog hair and it gathers there in layers). And that's it ... That's such a Chucha pig sloppy hostess and scuba owner.

Thank you, it became easier on my soul, but I also have a Frenchman running around at home grunting, her wool is so corrosive. They also wrote about Proper-this liquid can you take any? Yesterday I was relieved to open a service in Stavropol for Ai-robots, although you can go there if you can go there, otherwise the rumba has gone for the third year, but I have never cleaned it.

Yesterday I realized how he understands ...dear mom, it seems to me that there wasn’t so much trouble with Rumbo, but even the way he washed the kitchen floors yesterday, already a class-tile, to a crunch, but my floors are uneven, so I did not understand how he dries the floors, the puddles remained. I have a kitchen of 12 squares somewhere or a little less, how to turn on the drying? press the triangle? or just pour less water?

To turn on the drying, press and hold the pause / play button. I don't think I remember exactly. One short press - you just turn on the pause, that is, it will stop.

No hassle. It's just new to you. and I have it 4 years (or 5?) And already the second. Disassembled in 3 seconds and washable the same way.

Puddles - due to uneven floors. She has a rubber scraper behind the brushes, which collects water to the desired suction holes. The principle of an eraser for wiping glasses (you understand me, I hope). If the fit of this elastic band is loose (uneven floor), then it will collect water worse. But for tiles, it's bullshit. The main thing is not to jump a hopak on it until it dries out, otherwise you will be half-matted, but with a Skuba ...)))

God, you're just my savior! I am immensely grateful to you!

I didn’t pour it into it (it seems, I don’t guarantee that I didn’t pour any current of garbage into it, to be honest))). Like pouring vinegar (a lot and constantly, this is the requirement of the instruction, by the way), pouring lemon, pouring domestos, all sorts of liquid for cleaning floors and ... dishwashing detergent. I have it Lion, it degreases well.

Do not pour or dilute well filtered water (from osmosis). My osmosis filters almost to distillate, then enriches it with salts. Very soft water. So she doesn't see this water. The sensors do not work and she yells that she will not wash, she has no water. And that's it. I thought I still broke it when I faced it. Then I read the instructions - Hallelujah !! "When you poked all the buttons, pulled all the toggle switches, but nothing works - finally read the instructions!" (from)..

God, you're just my savior! I am immensely grateful to you!

"I'm all that ... sudden ... Contradictory all .." (c)

And pour the tank until water spills through the top or does it really fit a liter of water? I, too, first poured a bucket from the filter, caught fire, and then read about Skuba here and then just poured cold water from the tap

And pour the tank until water spills through the top or does it really fit a liter of water?

In my opinion, more than a liter, but I did not measure. I put it under the stream of water with a slight tilt from myself. As it poured over the edge - that's enough. Top up what I want to top up (well, there are all sorts of funds), close and go. And after washing, I wash the tank in the bathroom, putting the technological holes of the tank directly under the stream of water. There are 4 of them in addition to two jellies. Wool is pouring out of it - tin ... Despite filters, etc.

Well, this is where the filter is and where is the pipe, right?

[Scarecrow]

Scarecrow, such an unpretentious robot? And then I seem to want to buy, only again I think if I need it

Albina, definitely, it is necessary. Truth and it is necessary to adapt to it. I seem to have read the whole topic, but still a lot of questions. now it doesn't matter, it turned out that the brushes were inserted incorrectly yesterday. And when I went over everything and realized what was what, I drove so briskly. And now Scuba 4 generations came out, 5.5 more expensive than 390. There it also scratches. In general, every time there is something new. I washed my kitchen yesterday. I have 2 dogs and a cat, washed very well. I like it. Yes, I took it exclusively for washing. The children have grown up, my daughter is studying in honey, I am at school, in general, I have no time for cleaning. thanks to Chuchelka, otherwise I have read everything twice, but still a lot of questions.

[Natalia]

Natalia, we have all laminate flooring and only tiles in the kitchen and hallway.

[Albina]

Well, this is where the filter is and where is the pipe, right?

Well yes, they are.

Albina

To be honest, I treat him like a pig. The first scuba died three years later, and not at all from my hands, but from Zhanov's piss.It zaglyuchit when he "doused" her.

While this question is open (about purchase) Most likely I will also buy myself on the DR
I just thought Scuba was softer to handle.

[Natalia]

Natalia, we have all laminate flooring and only tiles in the kitchen and hallway.

Albina, and mine too, but we took expensive laminate flooring, and in the hallway, in the kitchen, tiles, and because of the fact that my animals sometimes piss, they can't stand it when we walk them from work.

one more question, and besides clean-dirty holes, you need to wash not the part on the floor, but the one with the lid?

so it is with me, too, but we took an expensive laminate,

So ours is not cheap either. Parquet was also laid in the corridor.

need to take

I really wanted to take 3 years or more, and that's just it turned out

need to take

If everything "grows together", then buy to DR. But I also want a window cleaning robot

I saw him alive, an impressive bandura, it seems to me that it should be taken only if you have stained glass windows

I took my scuba from repair. advised to rinse the dirty water tank with Domestos or another chlorine agent. Just in case, suddenly someone will have a blunt water compartment sensor

[Charm]

Charm, thanks, let's take it into service

I took my scuba from repair. advised to rinse the dirty water tank with Domestos or another chlorine agent. Just in case, suddenly someone will have a blunt water compartment sensor

I wrote about this about three years ago))). They advise everyone to do this, so the advice can be used without fear. And they say pour very warm water. Cold all these deposits are difficult to wash even with Domestos.

oh, Nata, it’s good that you wrote about warm water, so you can wash the floors with warm water?

oh, Nata, it’s good that you wrote about warm water, so you can wash the floors with warm water?

In principle, it is possible, although the instruction, as far as I remember, claims to pour cold water. I didn't pour hot water directly, but warm one (the tap is open in the kitchen, the water flows, I poke around, I pour the same water into the tank). For rubber bands and brushes, warm / hot water is not very good.

But! To flush the tank, you pour water with domestos into the DIRTY water compartment. And for washing, you need to fill the compartment for CLEAN.))) Only if you drain and pour into the compartment for clean. Oh well ... I pour warm water with domestos into the compartment for dirty water (by the way, I haven't done it for three hundred years, because I rinse it under the stream and it seems that everything is OK, I haven't glitched) and leave it. Shake it well periodically. Then I drain.

I did the cleaning with Domestos yesterday. .. and nothing. both dumb and dumb ...

I'll try again, I wonder why this is not a warranty case?

Can't wash with homestom? only rinse the compartment dirty

Yes. exactly to remove deposits

Can't wash with homestom? only rinse the compartment dirty

Yes you can. I washed. I just thought that you NOWALLY want to wash the floors with the same water. At the same time, it will not work, because they are poured into different compartments.))

My Scooba 230 worked for several months and died, won't start. The battery is all right, not going. It's a shame to throw it away, we loved it so much. Washed well, there were no problems with spilling water. In the workshop they say that they only take for repairs purchased from their dealers, and mine came from America.
All in all, I don't recommend 230.

why don't they even take paid repairs ??

look for another service

if you know, please advise the paid service. husband didn't find

I talked with the officials, they do not want to take my scuba for repairs, arguing that it was not bought from an official dealer in Ukraine. We did not find any other services that could be repaired in Kiev. Thanks for the skype link, I'll try to talk again ...

Just get ready, maybe they will just help diagnose a malfunction, so that the robot is not far from being charged, just ask for help to understand what can be done with the robot, I was in the service, they are quite adequate people there, they just give something away for free. It will not work, describe the malfunction in detail, we will hang in several more places where repair specialists hang out, we ourselves read the forums and maybe this is typical and there is a simple recipe. Don't give up, we are from the same planet.

Thanks, I'll talk to them - unsubscribe

My Scuba is crazy, all the icons light up like a garland and sings a song-LA-la-la
What could it be?

[mowgli]

mowgli,

Remove the battery. Wait and put it on again.

lay all night and the same

Remove the battery and put it in a warm place, you can put it in the sun under a newspaper and let it lie down for two days, the liquid got either inside or under the keyboard.

thanks, I'll try

did not help, will it have to change the battery or the robot has come to an end?

And I have Skubik 230 for almost half a year ... Madly happy !!!
Since before that I already had Rumba, my apartment is small and half-and-half linoleum and carpet, so I did not take a large Skuba (and a little expensive). I took another battery and now we can drive for two hours! I have enough!
I have never used a big Scuba, but I will not say that I do not recommend a small one ... In my situation, this is exactly THAT! It performs its function and there is no trouble with it!

[mowgli]

mowgli, is the defect the same? flashing and singing songs? it is necessary to disassemble the robot and look where the oxides are on the board or on the connectors.

[Malgosya]

Malgosya, 230, unfortunately, is almost never repaired, it simply changes to a new one, the board is filled with connectors in a monolithic brick and cannot be repaired, the tanks with compartments are glued into the case and cannot be replaced either, a disposable design. The maximum you can check is the sticking of the sensors and the bumper, everything else is hidden inside, and what the person did with the robot.

Good morning! I got a new scuba ... But the joy was premature ... I can't start it, she says, make sure the tank for clean water is full ... Help, please, what does he need?

make sure the fresh water tank is full ...

says that you need to pour water into the clean water tank. usual, from the tap.

I turn it on for the first time, followed the instructions strictly, inserted the battery, turned on the Russian language, poured water (along with the product) and then I finally thought it was happiness ... I turn on the start-up switch, a sound is heard, probably a pump and that's it .. Scuba swears.

check which tank you filled. and pour clean water.
