Rumba - robot vacuum cleaner for dry cleaning

there is no one to disassemble the robot and glue the sensors

There is an option without disassembly: pieces of the sides of plastic boxes from CD / DVD disks are cut out (ribbed ones - they will act as a beam diffuser), foil is attached to them and all this is fixed on the height difference sensors with tape. It will look terrible, but you don't need to disassemble anything. Described in detail in the link I have already given.

I have something like a carpet, of course there are problems, I already wrote about it a couple of pages ago. Yes, I really don't like vacuuming this room, Rumbik just stops at them and gives an error 6. Enrages, you have to turn it on again a hundred times, that is, it takes more time and you have to be at home to press the button again. But ... I will never exchange cleaning, even such a problematic one, Rumbika, for just a vacuum cleaner, even the most powerful one !!!! Not comparable !!! After Rumba, he's like new!

Oksana-Shalunishka, please write down how your Rumbik will react to stripes, otherwise something may be wrong with mine. (While under warranty) a mistake, but it unfolds and works on, and there would be no grief, I’m not like that.

Does he just perceive the stripes as the edge of the step or black elements of the picture too?

Alena, logically, should also perceive the elements as an abyss, but I don't know for sure.Our carpet has a lot of black stripes of different thicknesses and different tortuosities, they all prevent the rumbic from passing, he backs away from them and leaves

Here's a bad luck, the purchase of Rumbik was planned just for cleaning this carpet ...

everything is in order, at the same time there is a reason to change the carpet !!

There is a reason, of course, only the plans are completely different

Or drown out the sensors on Rumba, or take a competitor: for example, Neato.

But it only sucks in, but you need to comb it out ...

If you are talking about a fluffy brush, then:
1. For Neato xv-21 / Neato xv-28 models, this is included.
2. The absence of a fluffy brush is not a sign of poor carpet cleaning. The newest just released iRobot Roomba 880 doesn't have it either. Absolutely not. You can't even buy and deliver.

This is just for my case you need a brush. I have a fluffy cat. This fluff is not absorbed even by powerful vacuum cleaners. Only comb it out

If we are already talking about changing carpets, tell me how the rumbics react to the uneven height of the carpet (according to the pattern, the pile goes lower and higher). And what is the maximum height of the carpet they can overcome on their own, in the absence of the owner. Some saw more than 1 cm tall (but very good)

I have such a carpet in the hall
only the height of the pile is 2 cm, the rumbic vacuums it very efficiently, slides down and drives on it around the entire perimeter, does not get stuck. Our Rumba also works on a timer every other day, while we are gone. What pleases me, the pile does not pull out, which I was afraid, but every time it picks up a lot of dust)) And I also noticed that the pile has become better, does not crumple, despite the fact that the permeability in the room is good.Previously, the pile was crumpled all the time, there was a "path" where we walk often, but now everywhere there is an even high pile

I just read about the iRobot Roomba 880 - interesting! I wonder when we will have it? In the US, the price is good - $ 700. I am glad that the remote control is not included in the mandatory program, but whoever needs it can buy it separately, without overpaying, if, like me, for example, in FIG.

1. For Neato xv-21 / Neato xv-28 models, this is included.

I got acquainted. It's tempting. The reviews are impressive. True, the price is already biting and there is a sore spot (the motors are on). So without service at hand or a handy and big-headed companion who can fix this miracle, it is somehow scary to buy.

For the price, you can argue: the top Neato model costs no more than the most feature-rich Roomba 600 series.

The sore spot was found in older Neato models. Moreover, the defect rate was quite comparable to the Roomba's factory defect.

I’m not inclining anyone to anything. Rumba does not suit you, you have no desire to throw away the carpet. I just suggested an option that may meet your needs.

Robo-Cop, you have given me hope. I'm not a housewife. And I would like the robot to clean several rooms on its own (without problems with beacons). Neato impressed me, judging by the reviews, the very thing. Even on Ebay climbed prices to see. It looks like you need to get involved in international procurement. Even though it's scary for the first time ...

Or should I join international sales ...

Oh-oh-oh, something my Rumbik got sick!
But seriously, for some reason I started to turn on a blue light through each step - Indicator of increased pollution - although there is nothing there ... I have already wiped the sensor (is it the one under the brushes?), And changed the filter and still very often the blue light comes on
What could it be?

Examine the brushes carefully. The elastic band could have torn and during rotation this torn strip hit the sensor. Something else can be wound up: it can also "knock" on the sensor.

phew, I just wanted to write, it was the gum on the brush that broke, even by the sound you can hear it ... Now you need to change the brush? Is this okay? I only have Rumbik for a month, at first I started it every day, now every other day ... Do the brushes fail or am I doing something wrong?

The brush in this form will work for a long time and efficiently. Just tear off the strip all the way to avoid drumming on the sensor.

There can be a lot of reasons for tearing: damaged by hair, torn against the threshold ... But you never know what. A set of 2 main brushes costs 250 UAH.

I, literally the other day, put a block from 600 in the 500 series, everything fit like a family. 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.

The 600th series and the 700th series are different things! I bought a 700 brush and it doesn't fit

Or should I join international sales ...

In a gamazine on the corner, iRobot Roomba 560 on sale CAD $ 249.99 ...

Tell us what this 880 rumba is ... I read something with the translator. They write about some kind of vacuum. Is there a completely different principle?

Google it, there is even a video of it. He no longer has hair brushes, both rubber.

I report
Our mother-in-law did not allow us to disassemble the rumba, like I manually vacuum it ... We decided to seal the sensors with foil, as advised from the link above in the Robo-cop message. After pasting the two front sensors, the rumba refused to start, it just gave out two short beeps and that's it. We thought, and glued both side sensors, and one front one was released. Rumba drove off. And he perfectly vacuumed the entire carpet. That is, if he saw a black lane with the front sensor, he turned around, but since the side sensors did not see this lane, he passed it.

well done! cheated persuaded Rumbik! for the victory over the carpet!

That is, if you glue all the sensors, then it will not move through the stripes?

In general, then it will not even turn on, at least 620 rumba does not turn on. His front sensors are like eyes, at least one, yes

Need help ! Tell me for the 620 model, can I buy beacons? We have a cat-gang of Scottish Folds in the amount of 3 pieces, like in 620 there are good brushes and closed better than 500 series? We looked at Aukro for 2750. Who bought where, can you fish?

I won't tell you about the lighthouses, the most interesting
But the parents bought 620 and I 650 on bt-ua.com. In principle, I did not find it cheaper anywhere, but they wrote above that there were bad reviews about this store ... But both I and my parents bought TTT from them without any problems, but I will not say about the guarantee - they did not use TTT ...

You can buy it. Not lighthouses, but virtual walls. The 600 series does not support beacons, only Virtual Walls.

Robo-cop what do you recommend 500 series with beacons or 620?

Robo-cop what do you recommend 500 series with beacons or 620?

Of the 500 series, only the top 571 and 581 are equipped with beacons. There were a couple more models, but for a very long time and new ones are no longer found.

And it is quite simple to make a choice: if the cleaning area is over 70-80 sq. M., Consists of several rooms, rooms with a complex layout and there is a desire to completely automate the cleaning process - take 571/581.

If the area is not large, there are no more than 2 rooms, or you are ready to carry out cleaning, dividing the room into zones - take the 620th.

It should be borne in mind that the 500th series with lighthouses, as a rule, is more expensive than the 620th, is much richer in the package and supports the planning of cleaning by days of the week. The only advantage of the 600 series over the 500 is the improved dust collector and brush unit.

I finally got my Rumbic 760 today. My happiness is endless, because my fears were not justified: it accepts my carpet with black stripes (I showed the photo above) perfectly, the stripes do not stop it, so I panicked in vain
What can I say: the best gift for a mom who is expecting a baby and can not think of

Oksanochka, congratulations! You definitely have something to think about besides the eternal cleaning of the floor And then even more so

Heartiest congratulations! I have rumbic 780 for half a year, I still can't get enough of it, a carpet like yours cleans without problems.

Oksanochka, congratulations on your irreplaceable assistant

Oh, and I, and I join in the congratulations, Oksanochka! My 780 is already a year and a half, plows almost every day - chasing a dog. This is the best helper in the house! I can't get enough of it. It seems to me that everyone should have such a vacuum cleaner. Here you are happy!

Just like a washing machine and a dishwasher are a work kit for every woman.

In-in, Albin! I would add a couple of terribly necessary devices here, but each one has its own!

This is me, like in Marxism-Leninism, 3 components of working assistants - a robot vacuum cleaner, a car wash and a PMM
I still have 2, no PMM

Thank you girls. Today my worker worked until he was completely discharged, and I must say he had a lot of work. I have a Zelmer washing vacuum cleaner with an aquafilter and a steam generator. My son and I decided that on weekends we would do wet cleaning with Zelmer and Karcher, and on weekdays we would charge Rumbik. I drive it now to full until it is completely discharged, then I charge it for a day, I want to initially program its battery correctly.
Py. sy. Eh, all the same, the stripes on the carpet were too tough for him, for some reason I didn't immediately understand it, but today he got up with a mistake. But nevertheless he manages to drive them at a different angle a second time and not get stuck. There is one place where he does not get, but this is not scary, there is usually an ironing board and no one walks, you can walk there once a week for the washer. In general, I decided not to fence the deception system for now, let's see how it goes ...

Good day. It's not the first week I've been sitting studying rumbics, I really want to have this joy, I can't decide which one, I looked after this iRobot Roomba 595 Pet, for animals in the house it seems to be especially, but here it seems that I haven't seen one from anyone, the owners may respond, I want to know their opinion

I showed my husband my dreamer, but he decided that I needed to take the newest, although I objected because of the cost, but now I'm sitting in anticipation, in the evening rumba 790 will arrive, I read so much, but out of fright I forgot, I started reading the topic again

Elena, you need this topic https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/index.php@option=com_smf&topic=112612.0 ... There the girls will explain everything to you in detail.

I already started reading there in the second circle, I read it for a month, everything was confused in my head, so it's like one topic, or I'm confused
