Rumba - robot vacuum cleaner for dry cleaning

[Hrithik]

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

no, mistletoe, not tied, I usually have so dog hair

Today Rumbik didn't make it to the base for the first time. I left him to clean up, I come back in a few hours, and he turned on the poor thing in the corridor ... He turned it on, so he even refused to go to the dock - he was completely discharged ... I connected it through a cord and He still didn’t take a restorative charge, but just for a couple of hours ... There are two questions from here: firstly, why didn’t he go to the base when he started to discharge, but continued to clean? and secondly, why, if he nevertheless sat down COMPLETELY (even turned off and turned on only burned red and required charging), then did he not start restoring charging?

Don't worry about a 16-hour charge!
As a rule, Rumba activates such a charge after a long idle period without a charge. Long - I think at least a month with the battery connected, or at least a year with not connected. The charge drops to a critical level, the controller (brain) detects this and turns on the drop charge.

In your case, it only seems to you that it was completely discharged. Its charge controller cuts power and signals a low battery in advance.

I have Rumba 630, there is a shiny round under the brushes, I think the sensor. I always have it dirty, dusty, does it work? How are others? Do you need to wipe it after every cleaning? I didn't find anything about it.

This is an acoustic sensor for detecting particularly dirty areas, it works on the principle of a microphone. When grains of debris hit this plate, the robot decides to move around for a longer time at this cleaning place, which notifies us with a blue magnifying glass icon.

If the sensor gets dirty, then wipe it of course.

And again, my Rumbik did not come to the base ... Cleans up until the battery is completely discharged, but the dock does not turn on ... What could it be? And does the fact that I close it in one room and do not wait for it to clean it up, transfer it to another (stopping it with the Wedge button) affects this?

Of course it does!
Return to base is possible only when starting from base and there are no pauses and transfers.

Yes, but the last time I started it from the base and went for a walk, and when I came I found it discharged ... I did not see whether he asked to the base and did not reach, or just drove to discharge ...
And yet, and when I forcibly carry it and close it in the room (in general, is it possible to do that?), He cleans up and, if you don’t touch him, then he stops (as I understand it, he thinks that he has already cleaned it). Does he seem to work without a base? This is normal?

I can't tell you why he didn't return to base the last time. Perhaps your cleaning area is large or complex. Maybe the base is in an awkward place. In short, there may be many reasons.

If you close it in the room and start it - yes, it works without a base. This is normal and completely acceptable.

Of course it does!

And during the cleaning, I stop him several times to shake out the container and clean the brushes (4 dogs, all the same!), And start on ... and nothing - moves to the base, how cute.
And it happens that first I start a rumbic in the room, and only then I will bring the base there and also call in to charge without problems.

Okay, let's change the word "possible" to the word "guaranteed" in my message.

Does he drive to the base when the vacuum cleaner decides or you press the dock button?

When he thinks that it is already clean, then he will call in himself :-) And in general it works for me on schedule - every other day at 10 in the morning it starts up itself while we are at work, and returns to the base.

Does he drive to the base when the vacuum cleaner decides or you press the dock button?

Exclusively of my own free will, without my intervention.

I am tormented by the choice between 620 and 650 rhumba
I'm thinking, will I need programming?
I love to take part in the process, I rarely use the delayed start at my "electric friends" ... But they are all stationary, and this one will wander around the apartment ... Suddenly it starts to tire?
On the other hand - cat bowls with food, water (I know about virtual walls), what if a little cat's surprise happens? And for rumba it is death ...
How to solve the problem of choice?
And on the ixbt forum they already talk about the 800 series!

Before cleaning, it is better to remove all unnecessary things from the floor to make cleaning more efficient, so programming seems to me to be an unnecessary function.

Yes, and this function is worth 3 tons. expensive...

All sorts of unforeseen situations also occur, such as a sock stuck in the brushes, tangled in the curtains, etc.and all the programming is down the drain.

We took the 650 model, but we do not use programming, because the dog is at home and it is not known how it will react to Rumba in our absence, although they seem to live together with us.

I have a 650th rumba! Why don't I know I have never used programming, I took it for the time when I go to work ... leave - the effect is the same!
So I think this feature is not worth the overpayment! Here is a virtual wall sometimes needed, but with the same success you can put a mop:

then maybe 630? It is already with a wall ... Although, after all, the wall can be bought separately ...The main thing is to understand - I really need it (the wall)? There is a difference of 1 t. P .... Do not think that I want to save money on myself, I just swung at the washing scuba. But I cannot yet assess the feasibility of all the bells and whistles

630 is probably the best option! Since I would definitely never have decided to buy a wall, I would have used a mop. And there is also a spare filter, which will still be needed!

I use a virtual wall, but we have renovations in one part of the house and it is very convenient to separate the cleaning area. I probably wouldn't buy it on purpose. I also thought about Skuba, but after Rumbik it is a pleasure to wipe the floors, the water in the bucket remains clean, I decided to think for a while.

Help! Is it possible to insert a block of brushes from the 700th in the robot of the 500th series ?!

no, I bought brushes from 700-they do not fit, but the block is not a problem on the Internet everywhere there

And if not with brushes separately, but with a whole block? Are the bindings so radically separated?

it's not about the longer brush attachments, which means the block is wider

Thank you! Got it. I will search for the 500th.

Help! Is it possible to insert a block of brushes from the 700th in the robot of the 500th series ?!

Just the other day, I put a block from 600 in the 500 series, everything fit like a native. Rumba 521 bought in August 12, and since November 12, the 600 has already been released. The seller said that if it had been an earlier rumba, it would not have worked. Call the office. site, there should answer your question more precisely.

I bought myself Rumbika! I read the entire forum (I read it for about a month), finally decided and BOUGHT. A very smart boy! And how hilariously he climbs to the base! Thanks everyone for the posts! I took a lot of interesting things for myself.

Good day to all! I am also one of those who have read the whole topic in the last couple of weeks.

Robot vacuum cleaner is my old dream. It always seemed to me that unrealizable, given the price. Sometime 8-10 years ago I saw this miracle and fell in love forever. But then they were very expensive.

But this year in Yalta there was an exhibition The House of Your Dreams, where they showed new equipment from LG. And there I saw with my own eyes their robot vacuum cleaner - red, almost square. And again I fell in love with this miracle of technology. And when I arrived, I decided to look at the prices on the Internet, etc. Imagine my surprise when I saw that they were no longer transcendental, and that I could well become the owner of this little thing. At first I wanted the same LG. But when I read this whole topic, of course, I got sick with Rumbochka. I decided that it is better to take what has already been tested by many people. Stopped at 770 model. Expensive, but if we take such a thing, I think, with a margin for the future.

But here's the thing. In our local store, this model costs about 11 thousand hryvnia. In the Rosette - 6200, and in the German store, which many here mentioned in ComputerUniverse for our money, only about 4 thousand. That is, with ours, the difference is three times! Of course, according to the mind you need to take it there. But I have NEVER bought anything in foreign stores.

In this regard, I have several questions for those who have already purchased it there, preferably those from Ukraine. Guys, please tell us, here are many talking about the official guarantee. How to determine if there is a guarantee or not. Why is there such a range of prices even in Ukraine? And in that German store, is there a guarantee? And if it breaks, where to carry it? Send them? Or do they point to some local service centers? It's just scary to take it like this, and then not know what to do with it, if that.

And the second question. Again, to those Ukrainians who took in this store. How did you pay? I read everything on their website how payment is made, but I have neither an international card nor a palpai. How did you pay ??? Are there any risks? Where can I get this palpai card from us in Ukraine? Or can I pay in some other way?

Please explain!!!!!!!! I will be very grateful to everyone!

The main thing is to understand - I really need it (the wall)?

My rumba has been in operation since the summer of 11, so the wall has never been used. It turned out that we didn't need it - we have small rooms, I just close the door and that's it. Well, the furniture is either high or low, so that the rumba does not fit under it. And if the rooms were large and with such furniture, under which the rumba gets stuck, then yes, a wall would be needed.

Cook, the difference in price depends on the greed of the seller.
To find out how people buy in foreign online stores, it's better to go to the Ukrainian topic and ask there. There you will be answered with knowledge of local nuances.

Kuhark @, I will not say anything about foreign stores, I took in the Ukrainian online store, but judging by the prices that you write, I think you should not contact him (a foreign store) ... I took it on bt-ua.com , there the prices are the lowest and your 770th costs the same 4600 UAH. Shop guarantee. It would be good if she would never be needed, but if something does not need to be tugged abroad ...

sun358, thanks for the info.
I'm already on fire to buy from them. But ... I read reviews on 4-5 sites about this online store - almost all negative. Everyone writes that there is not much in stock, the managers are cheating, but most importantly (!), What interests me more is that they give some kind of guarantee and the left service center. Read:

And I have already eaten this in full. The video recorder has been under repair after 5 times of use for 2.5 months. With a 6 month warranty I went to them as to work - every other day. And they looked at me as an enemy of the people. So I want to take it in a RELIABLE place with a WARRANTY from the manufacturer.

Well, I don’t know what to say ... I, and then my parents, bought Rumbik on this site - everything TTT ok They did not use a guarantee (again, TTT), God forbid I didn't have to ... I was really bribed on this site high prices and exactly what the guarantee FROM THE STORE ... I just live in a small town where there are no service centers, so it's easier for me to have a store deal with them ...
It's up to you to decide !!! Good luck with your choice!

I use virtual walls regularly, not the right word. We bought 780 rumba ... We regretted a little money for 790 ... Sometimes the third wall is not enough. I run after them around the house. Although we have thresholds in some places, he still strives to crawl along them into another room.

Regarding the purchase in Ukraine, Robocop helped me. Everything is fine. Everything was delivered. True, the warranty is not three years ... but also cheaper at times. Since with a guarantee, I somehow did not work out very well. (I do not like to prove that I am adequate, and not vice versa, as they like to convince in the service department.) And the price did not differ much from the European one. Therefore, I recommend, very helpful and pleasant seller.

Lighthouses (as well as virtual walls) can be purchased separately in the required quantity.

Robo-Cop, tell me what to do ... They gave the mother-in-law 620 rumba, everything was fine, and then her sisters presented her with a carpet runner ... beautiful, beige, and in the center there is a pattern of black-brown squiggles half a meter wide ... and now the rumbic vacuums the hall only along the perimeter
I read and explained that he perceives these strips as emptiness, and unfolds so as not to "fall", but the problem remains. We experimented, glued all the sensors, but as they thought, he did not go at all ... is this problem somehow solved?

We transfer the carpet to distant relatives and woo-a-la: the problem is solved!
In fact, the sensors can be fooled, but then it does not recognize the height differences. If the living area is not 2 floors, there are no steps, etc., then you can try. In this case, you will need one person (preferably a male) who is not by hearsay familiar with a screwdriver and a soldering iron.

Can you please tell me, my rumba 555 has worn out rubber bands that are on the garbage container (those that rub on the floor) can they somehow be found and replaced ??? Or just buying a new container. Thank you

It won't work out, expensive carpet, and you can't afford a new one yourself. There are not even thresholds in the apartment, everything is smooth, and my husband will come, and he can do everything himself)) Just tell me, please, a way how ...

If this gum comes under a separate commodity code, then getting it is not a problem. But this very code is needed.

just tell me, please, a way how ...

Good day. I ordered myself Rumba 760 from a German store. At first, 660 came up for the money, but seeing that the difference from 760 was only 1000, I decided to order a newer model. And now, after reading the thread, only one question gnaws at me: will Rumbik take such a carpet:

Will these black stripes hinder him? Their width is 1.5-2 cm.

Playful, will be a hindrance. I told you a little higher, my mother-in-law has such stripes on the carpet, and in some places even thinner, and still the rumba sees them and does not go further. In the next. weekend we'll go to experiment with sensors, as Robocop suggested. Then I will write what the result will be ...

Eh, you upset me. One hope remained to defeat this carpet with the help of Rumba, and she collapsed. There are also blotches of black all over the carpet, in short kapets. Well, there are still other rooms, but here we will be in the old-fashioned way with handles and a vacuum cleaner Especially since we will soon move ...

Well, why use handles at once? Maybe, during cleaning, to glue these strips with some kind of adhesive tape of the construction type? Come up with something. Nothing is impossible for a person with intelligence.

I will try, of course, the options from the Robocop link, maybe I will manage with a little blood, since there is no one to disassemble the robot and glue the sensors, hands are from the wrong place
