iRobot Scooba - robot vacuum cleaner for wet cleaning

I poured it into a tank with a blue lid for clean water, but you mean water without a product?

30 page instructions, I hope the water is just from the tap and not from under the filter? wipe the contacts on the water compartment, just in case 🔗contacts and filters are visible and there are some explanations. Apparently, water does not enter the pump from the clean water tank, next to the clean water cover there is a clean water valve through which water enters the robot, see if there is garbage or something else there. Check so as not to be discouraged in the service and go to the store or service, you can call there first, anything can happen.

[Medtech]

Medtech, Sergei, thank you, tomorrow my husband promised to look ... And 30 pages are not many, and besides there are a lot of pictures
The first time there was water from under the filter + agent, is that bad? The instructions say not to pour distilled water, it's just that our water is very hard.

[elenvass]

elenvass Scuba uses a water conductivity sensor and if the water is demineralized, then the scuba simply won't see it, try it from the tap first to make sure the robot is working. Later, you can simply add tap to the filtered water to increase conductivity. I assume that your filter is reverse osmosis without a mineralizer.

I honestly don't know, but I already poured that water and poured it a second time from the tap, it didn't help. If my husband doesn’t find anything tomorrow, I’ll return him, as he didn’t meet expectations, I bought it in ozone

[Medtech]

Medtech, Sergei, the robot is not working. The husband says the contacts are clean (in principle, what else should they be, because he is new), the battery was pulled out. Everything, to return, and I wanted him for so long ...

[elenvass]

elenvass, It’s a pity, accept my sympathy. But it happens, don't buy only cheap Chinese.

Elena, take your time to return your Scuba. Try to start it again. I wrote above about my adventures with the Scuba (I have two). At first we poured filtered water into them :-) and wondered what it was, even fought with the SC. Now, when we launch them, with rare exceptions, they do not start working immediately. They need to stand, soak chtoli, in view of the fact that we started to launch them infrequently, about once a week, and we store them on recharge and open so that they are ventilated and do not smell. I believe that some rubber bands and / or a pump or something else there dry out. That is, firstly, make sure that your water is not distilled, and secondly, pump the pump from the kit with an enema (the process is described in the instructions), after the next one or two attempts, let the robot think for 10 minutes ... usually after these events, ours are washed as cute.

[Oksyusha]

Oksyusha, tap water.

secondly, pump the pump from the kit with an enema (the process is described in the instructions),

But I didn't understand which enema, where is it in the instructions, I have a new scuba 450.

I certainly have not the 450th, but the 390th, I don't know how much the principle is different there. The robot came with a rubber bulb, with which the PUMP was pumped, no pump, of course, I am not strong in terminology :-) The chapter of the instruction is called: “Pumping the pump”: reservoir on the nozzles. To remove air from the system, pump the pump with a rubber bulb 3-4 times ... "and more pictures.

[Oksyusha]

Oksyusha, unfortunately, there is nothing of the kind in the new one, no pear, no chapter.

[elenvass]

elenvassTry Skype to contact the service during working hours, perhaps they will help you remotely, it is quite possible that it will work, try not torture, write at least to the service with this problem, describe what you did, indicate the serial number, adequate people work there when there was convinced personally.
The service works from Monday to Friday from 10:00 to 18:00

[Medtech]

Medtech, Sergei, thanks for the advice, read everything, did it, did not help ...They called the service, they say come, we will help, it needs to be disassembled, there is something with fanfare ... We have no service in our city. I decided to return it to ozon and change it, although now it's a little scary ... The first time I was not lucky with the equipment, I buy everything on the Internet ...

P.S. I congratulate everyone on the holiday, on the day of knowledge!

Today I handed over my Rumba for diagnostics, I don't know what they will say ... But the question is, I did not find the warranty card, but there is a sales receipt and the robot has not been opened, will it be recognized as a warranty? brought to the same store that they took

A year ago I bought a 790 rumba and immediately began to think about buying a scuba, but I was embarrassed by the large number of reviews about breakdowns. Finally, two months ago, I made up my mind and bought a scuba 450. It started immediately and for two months of weekly work there were no failures. On the very first day after the purchase, I sent her to wash the kitchen of 20 sq. m., when I poured water from the tank, the water flowed, of course, dirty. After that I went with a bucket of water and washed the kitchen with my hands a second time. My husband, seeing this, did not understand what I was doing, and to his question about my body movements in the kitchen, I answered him that I was checking the quality of cleaning with a scuba. The water in the bucket was clean, after this experiment I trust my scoop completely. Fuss with care is not much more than care of a rumba. Everything is quickly washed under the tap. There is one inconvenience that on one recharge it will wash either one room up to 28 sq. m., or two up to 14 sq. m., and then you have to charge for 2.5-3 hours. But since I have parquet throughout my apartment, they took it to clean the tiled floors in the kitchen and in the hall, which is also about 20 square meters. m., and wait three hours against the background of these meters is not at all difficult. But if you had to wash the whole apartment, then it would be a problem and the meaning of such a long cleaning would be lost. Usually, before cleaning the floors, the rumba is first passed, and then I start the scuba after it, so while the scuba is charging, the rumba works tirelessly, preparing the field for the scuba. Rumba works every day, scuba - once a week. Now I can't even imagine how I lived without them before.

[DNV]

DNV, You should buy an additional battery and you don't have to wait.

My Marfushenka is eating from Moscow - the case was recognized as guaranteed - water got on the buttons - they fixed URA URA

The Germans gave a link to update 450 scuba,. So far, this is only amerikosov.
Original translated by Google: Here is the first update for the Scooba 450 You need a micro USB cable and of course Scooba. It also works without a battery. This improves the particular pump performance.

Will the Scooba 390 tank fit the 385?

[Sens]

Sens, yes they are similar, the whole 3xx series is the same, if not a secret, but what happened to the old one? cracked? stink? It's a pity you are far away, I always really wanted to disassemble / cut the tank from the 3xx series to see how it works inside there.

I don't know where, but a crack appeared in the thinnest part.

if I succeed with the purchase, I'll give you the old one

I don’t understand if this photo is of such poor quality or is it really so scratched? How long has he worked for you? I have a sititek robo-sos LR-450 conditional washing robot, that is, it wipes rather than washes. And he cleans well. I wanted to buy a Scooba 390 washing machine to help him. So the photo is confusing.

[zinfira]

zinfira the photo is of high quality, this is a real robot, but unfortunately you do not have real photos of your robot, and if someone buys one, it will be on the mezzanine, as unnecessary, lie all in the package and shine clean and not frayed sides, since there will be little sense from it , and scuba is a hard worker, all shabby and worn.

Who knows how to check a new battery? In 3.5 years, I already had the second one. Moreover, a family member who served with a vacuum cleaner for 2.5 years.But, which was bought already the second, served only a year, and it was enough for only one tank initially, although it is stated that for 2 tanks.

A new one is easy to check, by discharging, charged - discharged, because there should be 2 tanks. If you are familiar with the tester and the car lamp, you can roughly estimate the capacity, the battery is a dark object and its purchase is always a lottery, so it is worth buying where you can take it under warranty, and this usually immediately raises the price at a loss, few people want to work.

[Medtech]

It's a pity you are far away, I always really wanted to disassemble / cut the tank from the 3xx series to see how it works inside there.

Medtech, if you still need a tank, send the address.
but I will send the current when I myself go to the post office for the parcel.

[Sens]

Sens, Thank you very much, I sent it in a personal.

[Sens]

Sens, Thank you very much for the gift.

[Medtech]

Medtech,
tell me how everything works there! )))
Did you notice that the latch cracked there ...

[Sens]

Sens, after a week there will be fewer people in the apartment, I will carefully open and post the photos, here for me there was a riddle about the parcel from Sochi, but until I shook it in my hands, I did not guess, I felt a familiar sound, I smiled ..

I cry - I have died completely. The scuba is discharged quickly, and passes water inside while it is charging. maybe because it does not have time to dry ??? Or ordering a new top cover right away? I was very upset for that kind of money for a year was barely enough - now only a 6 thousand ozone battery. I think - it will not be cheaper on Western sites?

[Charm]

Charm, do not put the robot with water on charging, you will not find batteries cheaper, you should look towards lithium ion, it will be enough twice as much as the original, and the cost is similar to the native metal hydride

I reread the whole topic, but I still don’t understand whether the scuba vacuum cleaner is normal or not? in the review they write that you can first run a scuba for dry cleaning, then wash it. Or, is this function more for show? trying to understand whether it is possible to do with one unit? Or do you have to buy rumba all the same ?? kopeck piece, 65m, laminate floors, tiles in the kitchen.

[alinapressa]

alinapressa, the scuba does not vacuum at all. there is no such dry cleaning function.
first run the rumba. then scuba.

scuba does not vacuum at all. there is no such dry cleaning function.
first run the rumba. then scuba.

Thanks, I figured it out. Now another question, scuba 390 or 450 ?? for some reason 390 washes up to 80m, and 450 washes only 40, why is it better then ?? I'm confused again ...

[alinapressa]

alinapressa, specify where are you going to buy a 3xx series of scuba? it has not been released for a long time.

[Medtech]

Medtech, the Internet gave me a lot of shops where they sell. Although, of course, I did not call, did not recognize

[alinapressa]

alinapressa, the Internet is big, he knows better, I always look at the website of the officials, because on the network you can find old, non-working, fake stores with a low price to attract buyers.

I bought a scuba 450 and a rumba 880, at the weekend, I can say that the impression from both devices is very ambiguous. Here about scuba. I haven't had time to deal with the lighthouses yet, so I bring them into the room and close the door. I started in the kitchen, where I have disgusting tiles on the floor, matte, corrugated, porous and very hard to clean! Tired of scrubbing it with a brush and I bought myself an assistant. I ran it in the kitchen three times in 2 days, washes it like I did without a brush. That is, my hopes that she would cut it to its original state were not justified! About once every six months, I peel off this tile with acid, after that it looks more or less decent. If I have enough time, I will do this procedure this week, it's high time. And after that I will start scuba twice a day. Now, about the laminate, I won't run it in the rooms every day, because after all, it pours water decently, I'm worried about the laminate. I decided a little later to buy a braava for the rooms, and just a scuba to help. Tk she washes either one room 28m or 2 x 14, so that in order to clean up in one day in the apartment, you will be tired of charging it.It drives along a trajectory that I do not understand, but, it seems, I did not notice dry areas. He sees local pollution where there is none, and where it is, does not sharpen his attention. Well, okay, maybe you haven't mastered it yet ?? But, for washing the tiles I hate in the kitchen, I will forgive her everything, and until I change the tiles to a laminate during the next repair, I will not give them to anyone. In general, my verdict is this: scuba is to be, but she needs a braava to help her, which I will launch every day, and leave the scuba for the kitchen and more thorough Saturday cleaning! Care, as for me, is easier than ever and takes a few minutes, I am absolutely not stressed, and I do not think that it is easier to wash all the floors myself than to rinse the scrubber. I am generally a lazy person, and I am pleased to watch someone work for me !!

I have the same ... Matt corrugated wood-like and white ... And you wash with some means. Maybe in a week with the product, everything goes away by itself and the brush will not be needed?

[ellanna]

ellanna, Soaps with special means for scuba.

[alinapressa]

alinapressaThank you for the interesting report, if there is an opportunity to buy Braavu, be sure to buy it, if you wipe it every day, do not wet the napkin too much, the best effect is achieved when it is slightly damp, there are no streaks, but this is my personal opinion, which is based on light beige matte tiles, I run Mint / Braavu three times, then I like the effect.

Hello! I have a Scuba 385 ... For more than six months I have been working without any complaints ... and then something happened to him ... When turned on, it works for 20 seconds and immediately goes into drying mode, the green light flashes and drives on the dry floor .. . (((I already blamed the battery and washed it, blew it out, cleaned it, clicked on all the croppers ... nothing helps ... I just drop my hands ... (((
Maybe someone had such a problem? What do you advise? There is no service center in my city ... (((

Added Thursday, May 26, 2016 3:48 PM

It seems to have coped with the problem! The world is not without good people!
Here, maybe someone will come in handy:
my scuba refused to wash (spray water), started working 20 seconds after starting in drying mode. listened to the advice on the forum: blew honey. a valve from a first aid kit supplying clean water (on the back of the front panel there is a hole with a rubber edging).
chronology:
1. I collected water in the fresh water tank.
2. blew through (from below, however, it is very difficult for air to pass through the check valve) with a pear valve - air bubbles have gone in the tank.
3. launched - it helped!
4 punished - cleaned 80 sq.

How often do you wash vacuum tubes?

I already have the Rumba. Now I'm thinking of buying a scuba. Just did not understand what is the difference between the 450, 390 and 380 models? I have laminate flooring and tiles in the kitchen. The scuba has enough charge for 2.5 hours and that during this time it will not be able to wash 100 sq. m?

[ludmila_27.79]

ludmila_27.79, 450, which is now on sale, will not be able to, the charge is limited to 2X20 or once at 40¬ and recharge again.

On the Internet they write that the scuba 450 can wash up to 80 sq. m. Is that not true? By the way, you can buy another battery, as I understood that the battery can be charged separately, without a robot.

[ludmila_27.79]

ludmila_27.79, write about Scuba, but do not specify.
If it's not difficult to share a link where they write that 450 washes 80 meters, you will need another robot to charge the battery, for example your rumba, the batteries are the same.

[Medtech]

Medtech, sorry, I was mistaken 80 m washes scuba 385 or 390 on one charge, it is clear that water needs to be refilled. The 450 model has 2 buttons to select 14 or 28 m. And how long does the battery last for 40 minutes? And this 385 and 390 model can be charged without a robot, but 450 is impossible without a robot? Then the old 385 and 390 are better than the new 450?
