Rumba - robot vacuum cleaner for dry cleaning

2. How does he understand that there is an obstacle ahead? Is it going until it knocks or turns around before reaching it?

Hi
at first he knocks a little, but he has a soft shock-absorbing bumper, then, it seems to me, he remembers and the next arrival slows down a little. He will not beat him, he is not such a fool, I think he is even smarter than all men with ordinary dust in his hands, at least he does not gundit when you ask him, come on, soapy, show what you are capable of

about prices - I have the simplest 521- 3600 gr, only with a base, I
I won't tell you about the black floor, I have a light

In my hallway, the floor is dark and shiny (tiles), he cleans everything well, he didn't break the doors, although he bales into them regularly. I love my spy with every fiber of my soul

Nurka. He knocks, but not out of the blue then he does not go quickly and bumps into furniture, then pushes off from it and drives on. I don't have the cheapest 521 now. Only in leftovers if. I don’t know about other questions. The floor is light and I live in Russia.

it seems to me that he is even smarter than all men with ordinary dust in his hands, at least he doesn’t have gundit when you ask him, come on, soapy, show me

At first I started to boil, I wanted to be indignant, then I saw who the author was - it was already allowed.
And then I thought: "But really a man with an ordinary dust in his hands is not a very smart sight when there are robots" ...

Well, if in essence, then the color of Rumba furniture is absolutely not important. Here are the floors - there may be nuances.
If the floors are just dark, this shouldn't be a problem. But if the floors are striped, then in some cases this can create difficulties.

Rumba does not like, for example, carpets a la "zebra-like". He has height difference sensors from below. They keep him from falling off the steps. So if he goes on a light road - everything is ok. And then he runs into a black strip. Oops! Damn, Duc is the abyss begins! And he begins to quietly back up.

But this problem is extremely rare.

As for the impacts (touches) on furniture, the old models do it with greater force, since they are not equipped with a "soft bumper" system.
560 (561) model for 2800 is a good offer. But if the budget can be painlessly increased by 800 hryvnia, then it is quite easy to consider already the model of the 600th series, for example. This is a sane surcharge for a new type of dust collector and an updated brush unit.

I do not want to offend anyone, recently I was offered a robot vacuum cleaner from Krei manufacturers. I have a Rumba 780. Allegedly, Korean robots clean better, because they do not leave missing places, unlike our Rumbics. And I think that 2 hours of charging Rumba will be enough to go through the apartment several times if desired. I am certainly not going to buy another assistant with Rumbik. I am not campaigning for anyone, I just wrote for information.

My husband bought me a rumbica 620 for the upcoming birthday. We get used to each other. I'm happy. There are, of course, questions, but I have already figured out something. In my opinion, he doesn't care what color the furniture is, he sees it. Paul, I have such a laminate, there are no problems with it, it does not slow down, it does not refuse to work.

Cleans well, there are no complaints about it. We bought it in a store, but American or Chinese, I haven't checked barcodes yet, there are a bunch of them. I don't bother on this topic, because Chinese bread makers work without problems.
I have a question for connoisseurs: should the rumbic be constantly on the network (as they say in the instructions), or can you not keep it on the network all the time?

Thanks to everyone who responded
Most of all, it was the dark floors that worried me, since there is wenge in the largest room.True, there is also a "zebra", but only a corridor 0.70 * 1.5 m and the stripes there are quite wide, it can still cope ...
I am inclined to fork out for 770 or 650 all the same. I found it at an aukro at an attractive price (did anyone take it for an aukro?). There is a difference with the used 560, of course, but I am incredulous, who knows how much they actually used, they have been selling it for more than a year. And the model wants to be newer.

did not notice that he missed, he several times the same place. is not it so?
I'm ashamed to say, but since January I abandoned my usual Roventa, despite this, the floor and air in the apartment became much cleaner.

Tatulechka, I don’t know what an expert, but yes, he must be on all the time, otherwise he has a self-inflicted self (oh, real experts will beat you if you put it wrong)

Nurka
And how much for aukro?
here, too, my grandmother said in two, they will write expensively, but the point is to take without a guarantee? They will write cheaply suspicions and why?
I preferred to take from scratch from dealers, overpaying for the warranty. There are a ton of pieces of paper for him, in general there is something to read, like BOSH's cube.

I wrote to you about Aukro in a personal message.

: girl_cray1: want too

And how much for aukro?

770 - 4699 UAH
650 - 3870 UAH
New.
I was already thinking of ordering in the computer universe. There 770 turns out to be 436 euros already with delivery. It seems even more attractive and faster on aukro.
With regard to guarantees, then yes, there is a risk "either pan, or lost." On the other hand, the cartoon was once brought to me from Moscow (we had very few of them then, but well, I really wanted to), my planchette is generally from China. They have already successfully survived their "warranty periods" and without breakdowns.

Ask him for a discount. Say that you are from the bread machine.

Finally, I found the answer to my problem! I have Rumba 630, everything is fine, but, in one room, the carpet with some hieroglyphs is beige, and several stripes are chaotically black, so this is the problem, how it runs into this strip, it is arched from 5 to 10 cm wide , so it stops and gives an error 6. So this room needs to be cleaned only when I'm at home, and constantly come up to switch it on. Although I understood now, but I was thinking about the repair, what a marriage, though I reassured myself that there was no such problem anywhere else in the whole house. If only someone suggested with brushes, sometimes they stop spinning and Rumbik drives idle. This is very annoying, every time I start, I listen now, whether they are spinning or not, I have already learned to determine it by sound. Recently I dismantled this block to the gears (recently the girls advised and showed this question), everything was clean, well, I removed some dirty oil with a toothpick, everything was in oil, but after that there were idle starts again. Can anyone come across my problem, tell me! And a special request to our Pro, Robo-Cop

Ksyusha, problems like "it works and it doesn't work" are very difficult reasons to diagnose. A piece of debris could get into the motor of these same brushes, maybe there is no permanent contact somewhere, the edges on the tips of the brushes may have worn out (they are yellow). Try to manually scroll the brushes before each start and only then start.

Ukraine
who buys where consumables - I need a side helicopter, well, and 2 main at the same time a steam locomotive. Or go straight to the Chinese?

Robo-Cop, thank you very much for your answer! The tips are definitely not erased, squares with even edges. But about getting dirt into the engine ...anything is possible, is it not detected by opening the block with gears? On my own, I mean. And I scroll the brushes when I hear that they are not spinning, but sometimes they start spinning not on the first try. Of course, I'm upset, I'm crazy about my Rumbik, so it simplifies my life, my house, rather big, there is a lot of cleaning, and with it ... it's just a miracle. I am very sorry that I did not buy it before, I heard the opinion that this is a toy, self-indulgence. What a fool I was! Rumbik is half a year, there is still a guarantee, it's just far from service, and it's just a disaster to part with him for 45 days! How no hands! I wanted to somehow herself, she can figure it out.

So contact Robo-Cop. I'm sure it will help.

I am so glad that I got a rumbic, why didn't I just buy it earlier? Somehow the opinion that it was a toy overpowered. Then I began to figure it out, it turned out, so say those who have them well, sooo long and old. Apparently they did not clean well at all ..

I’ve got used to Rumba that I don’t even get my usual vacuum cleaner, the robot is cleaning, of course, not ideally, but plus, that without my participation. In general, I run it in the room, kitchen, and start cleaning with it. It’s not so sad anymore, and somehow it turns out faster. In general, a direct cleaning friend. He drives, I run everything in front of him ... In short, it stimulates. And thanks to the children, he does not stand idle at all .. In general, who else thinks, drop everything and buy.

Who comes, they ask, they say, is he driving so long? I always answer that the washing machine also seems to wash for a long time, but nothing, no one is outraged. Everyone is happy.

And at the end of the 2nd year of using the rumbic, I made a discovery for myself - my Masyanya is much better at cleaning with a simple dust collector than with AeroVac. This happened after buying a new carpet with a fairly long pile (almost 1.5 cm), and even carving.
It was a great revelation for me, because before that it seemed to me that since the AeroVac with an additional fan, it’s generally cool.
But no!

Girls, tell me, please, if anyone has a 620, 630 or 650th model of Rumbik, are they different in addition to the configuration? Is it worth overpaying incrementally? Or just watch a newer model? A day for reflection, I want it to be cheaper, but I also don't want to make the wrong choice because of this.

I have wenge tiles + milk in my kitchen and in the corridor. no problem! rumbic runs perfectly !!! maybe problems arise with darker colors, black ...

In my opinion, not worth it. Changing the simplest one, I'm happy with it. In more expensive models, Aerovak, with which, as they say above, cleans worse.

If you do not need virtual walls and the function of scheduling cleaning by days of the week - take 620. If you do need a virtual wall - 630.If you use planning too - 650.

Good day!
So I became the owner of a Roomba 790 vacuum cleaner, and not without the help of this site. Before buying, I read all the reviews and comments here. I want to say that I bought on eBay and it is cheaper than on computeruniverse, the price on eBay is 22,178 rubles. plus delivery of about 3500 rubles, the same seller has a 780 model for 3000 rubles. cheaper than 790, so I decided to buy 790 right away. 40 minutes after payment, I received a notification that the goods were shipped and, accordingly, they sent a track number, which was amazed by my son, who regularly buys something in foreign online stores (I mean the speed of shipment ). The seller has a Skype number and says that they speak Russian, so you can contact him if necessary. The vacuum cleaner reached me in 20 days, there is no need to buy any adapters and transformers to switch from the American network to ours, everything was already attached there. Everything came in its original packaging, the seller is top-notch, who has already sold more than a dozen of these vacuum cleaners, as indicated by him. So I'm happy. As for the cleaning, we experienced the same shock as many here. In a perfectly clean, new apartment, in which no one still lives, he dragged a lot of dirt, combed so much (!) From the new carpet that the son got scared behind the carpet. Pre-walked with a Bork vacuum cleaner and washed all the floors. So I am very pleased with the purchase, it is really a very necessary thing, I hope that my information will help someone, as the reviews on this forum helped me.

DNV, it seems to me that something is not much cheaper. I bought mine for 25500r on the official website of the 780th model

Albina, so 780 there is 19178.

Yes, Lucha is right, we are talking about the 790 model and the difference between the 780 and 790 model is $ 100, so the decision was made to buy the 790, since the kit also includes a case with a bunch of dowry, which I would still have to buy additionally, but from us on irobot this difference is 7900 rubles, and the price of 790 model is 31800 rubles, and on computeruniverse 780 the model costs about the same as eBay, but the 790 model is 27500 rubles, so it is cheaper on eBay.

Thanks everyone for a very informative thread. I read it all, and after a couple of months I bought a 620 model from an authorized dealer for 13,500 rubles. After a couple of days of use, the husband admitted that he found a common language with a new family member faster than with a cat. The children instantly called the assistant Archik and now we have nothing lying on the floor! It's a miracle! I use it for 3 weeks. Works every day. And where does he get so much dust from ??! Breathing in the rooms has become much better, which is extremely important for my asmatics. And why didn't I know about him before?

Hello everyone. So I became the proud owner of Rumba 630, they brought it this morning. This is what clouded my purchase:
there is no instruction in Russian and there is no warranty card, only a piece of paper with the order, without any stamps at all and a check. I've already cried. Here I scold myself, I already fell for my husband ((((
Who had this? Or does everyone have an instruction in Russian and a warranty card directly?
I ordered it on an electric broom. RU
We started it right away, cleaned 1 room, we closed it there while we put on the charge, so he probably didn't go to it in advance, but just completely used up the charge and stopped, now it's worth charging.
What is the best way to charge it? how long will it take?

and your vacuum cleaners speak Russian or English?

I ordered it on an electric broom. RU

Didn't they recognize you in the store? It seems that the store is considered decent.

I've already cried. Here I scold myself, I already fell for my husband ((((

How feminine it is: I scold myself, but fell for my husband.

The instruction is available on the Internet. Download and read urgently. You have already broken it, you had to first charge and only then start. But nothing terrible happened, don't panic. It also describes how to set the Russian language - you definitely have it. If you don’t find - write your e-mail - I will throw it off in pdf format.

[helgoncha]

there is no instruction in Russian and there is no warranty card, only a piece of paper with the order, without any stamps at all and a check.

helgoncha, look for instructions on the internet, if something doesn't suit you, I can take a picture of mine and send it.

about my husband, he took it directly, read it, signed it, but I was at home too, that's why I scold myself, but my husband also fell a little bit, because the truth was very upset with the truth.
I found the instruction in Russian, just wondering, did everyone have it in Russian? and what about the warranty card? do you have it? in any form? what service centers are listed?
And I really didn’t understand about the language, it’s not a blonde, but what does it mean to select the desired language with a short press on the wedge button?
what should happen? I turned it off by long pressing the wedge button, as it is written, and then how to choose a language? should he speak or what?

sorry, I figured out the language, installed it.

Did you all have instructions in Russian? just wondering, these are trifles of course.
What worries me is the lack of a warranty card.
Does everyone have? What services are listed? how much is the guarantee?

Turn off the robot by long pressing the Wedge button. All diodes should go out. Again press the Wedge button until it emits a short signal. Let go and start flipping the languages ​​with short clicks. After each pressing, the robot will speak the current language: "English", "Deutsch", etc. to "Russian". When "Russian" sounds, turn off the vacuum cleaner again with a long press. The language is stored in memory. All.

If there was no instruction in Russian, then the vacuum cleaner is "gray" or "black". That is, it was not quite officially imported into the Russian market.
Do not tune in to breakdowns and you will not need a guarantee.

helgoncha, don't fret. It's a shame that we are faced with such sellers. I ordered my rumbic model 650 in the first days of October through the online store. I arrived by the transport company on the fifth day, there was no limit to joy, but .... First of all, we saw that the yellow tape was torn from the battery, although according to the instructions we had to rip it off ourselves (a week before the rumbica was acquired by my brother, so from the yellow tape was in place). Okay, we thought maybe the seller is so good, checked the performance before shipping, called the store, which was confirmed to us. Charged, as expected, began to use, but it was not there. Rumbik drives, works, but nothing gets into the container, everything accumulates on the brushes. I put it on the table and looked in the switched on state, it turned out that the brushes did not spin at all. We called the store, the operator said that he would consult and call back, but we did not wait for the call. We called the service center in Moscow, many thanks to its employees. We called them several times, always listened carefully, advised them where to look, what to disassemble, in the end they sent us a new cleaning block. My husband changed and now our Rumbik is an irreplaceable assistant.

has already calmed down, for almost 2 hours our Kuzya, we named him that, because he will be our keeper of the house, cleanliness in it, in any case, like a brownie, works.
but do you have a guarantee that a new cleaning block has been sent to you?

Yes, there is a guarantee, although thanks to the seller for this.

Hello! I have a 650th rumba. Tell me, how can you force it to be charged for 16 hours? At the first charge, the orange color just blinked slowly, charged for a couple of hours and green lit up! And there was no fast flashing orange for 16 hours ... so I'm afraid that I will ruin the battery by incorrect charging

If he himself did not activate the "drip" charging mode, then he does not need it (the battery was not discharged at "0") and there is no way to force him to do it manually. Yes and no need.

And I will complain. Yesterday I began to take out a container with garbage and it turned out that the filter does not stand still, but just lies inside (620th rumba). I cleaned all the holes and cracks as best I could. And today, after cleaning, there was a lot of debris and dust under the brushes, which, as I understand it. did not enter the container. Before that, I had never seen such a thing. I checked that the brushes are spinning normally. Don't touch me, old lady, I'm in sorrow. (c) Something broke, right?

Does the rumba go to the dock when it thinks it's already clean or when the battery sits down? If he gets to the base with a green light, is that okay?

Is it possible to wash the filter in the 650th rumba?

Did you all have instructions in Russian? just wondering, these are trifles of course.
What worries me is the lack of a warranty card.
Does everyone have? What services are listed? how much is the guarantee?

I also did not have instructions in Russian, probably "gray" delivery, but there is a guarantee FROM THE STORE! It's good that you don't need it, but I understand that if there is something, then they themselves have to deal with the service ...

Does the rumba go to the dock when it thinks it's already clean or when the battery sits down? If he gets to the base with a green light, is that okay?

He goes to me when he thinks it's clean. Once it is removed for about 20 minutes and goes to the base, and sometimes it cleans up until the light turns red and then goes to the base.

I also did not have instructions in Russian, probably "gray" delivery, but there is a guarantee FROM THE STORE! It's good that you don't need it, but I understand that if there is something, then they themselves must deal with the service ...

It's good if you're lucky with the store. I already wrote above, I have instructions in Russian and a guarantee, but for all our calls to the store, the operator politely replied that he would consult and call back, but .... I had to solve my problem with the service center ourselves.

[Mistletoe,]

Mistletoe, But what, you can't insert the filter back? It's removable.

[Hrithik]

Hrithik, yes immediately put .. just after this incident, dust began to accumulate under the brushes. Although, maybe these two events are not related.
