Rumba - robot vacuum cleaner for dry cleaning

And another question. If the vacuum cleaner is not completely discharged, should it be charged immediately or discharged to zero and put on charge?

After unpacking, it is better to put it on charge and wait for a stable green. Then you can run.
If the vacuum cleaner starts pulsing orange quickly during the first charge (2-3 times per second), it needs a 16-hour charge.

Got it, thanks. I just read somewhere that many people first discharge and then put on a 16-hour charge.

Better to read the instructions.

Yesterday we put it on charge. Blinked orange (1 time per second), where the hour is +/- Then a steady green, left until the morning, in anticipation of a test drive.
And in the morning on TV there was a repetition of yesterday's program "All will be good" and just a plot with a test drive of rumba. Who watched?

Really no one will write anything in defense of rumbic? I haven't launched mine yet, I can't say anything. But for some reason it seems to me that this plot is complete garbage. The vacuum cleaner was used incorrectly both in the studio and in the apartment.

What kind of plot are we talking about?

On Ukrainian television, the STB channel is broadcasting "Everything will be good" yesterday in one of the plots of the program, a test drive of the Rumba 760 vacuum cleaner was carried out.
links probably can not be inserted?

Why, you can! Only not active.

I didn't even watch this garbage until the end. Well this is an ordinary anti-advertising! The unfortunate Rumbik got into the pig's house. Are there such apartments at all? They gave him a ride on sugar once, and stopped him with the remote control. Or in the room, again - once passed and stopped, they say all the rubbish remained around. Was he supposed to suck everything in within a meter? Has anyone even given him a chance to ride again? He actually rides back and forth! And these pieces of paper ... has anyone tried to suck them in with a regular vacuum cleaner? Yes, they just get stuck in the brush or in the pipe. It is strange that they did not think of taking him to the city dump. Why, let him clean up, he's a robot! And if he didn’t remove it, it means - g ...! Nonsense! And it never occurred to anyone that if you disconnect the hose from a regular vacuum cleaner, turn the vacuum cleaner over and shake it, as you did in the video? Everything will fall out of him too ...
Yes, Rumbik will not take a very long pile. Well, nobody imposes it on those who have such carpets.
My Rumbik is over one and a half years old. With my old dog, who can no longer stand and runs to the street 10 times a day, dragging heaps of dust and sand into the house, without Rumbik I would have died to clean it all up. I am silent already about wool.
Cleans very well. And after such a long time using Rumbik, let at least three hundred people line up and say that my Rumbik is bullshit, I'll just laugh in their face! I'm chatting with you right now, and Rumbik plows like a bee. What other proof or protection is needed ?!

Really no one will write anything in defense of rumbic? I haven't launched mine yet, I can't say anything.

There is a lot of truth in the plot:
1.On a carpet with a very thick pile, the result will be extremely deplorable
2.large objects (slippers, toys, cat bowls) will be pushed along the edges of the room
3.really afraid of moisture
4.large garbage (a crumpled sheet of paper or a 100 euro banknote) will not be sucked in
5. The contamination sensor may not work on a slide of seeds poured onto the floor.
etc.

If you have pile carpets in your apartment a la "Artificial Grass",
If you think that the vacuum cleaner should suck (grind and chew) apple cores, unnecessary documents, broken plates
If you throw potato peels right on the kitchen floor
If there are puddles of water, beer, urine and ketchup on the floors of your apartment here and there
IN NO CASE DO NOT BUY A ROBOT VACUUM CLEANER !!!
This will be a waste of money and a huge disappointment for you.

Lena, I subscribe to your every word, not a test, but some kind of nonsense!

[Robo-Cop]

Robo-Cop, high five! The second part is simply incomparable! Benefit for pigs! They should not be allowed close to such a technique! And it is necessary by law to prohibit giving Rumbiks into such hands! And then this cruel treatment happens to pets (Rumbics)!

They should not be allowed close to such a technique!

The following technique is more suitable for them:

[Axis tse - itself out!]

The following technique is more suitable for them:

Axis tse - itself out!

Yesterday I was also very indignant with my daughter, so poor little rumbochka was shredded, our favorite, they would be ashamed to show such an apartment, I do not believe that these people can afford to buy such a thing, really anti-advertising paid for by someone. Before buying any equipment, you need to know everything about it, how to use it and why, then there will be no disappointments, if you rake the trash, then of course the Robo-cop option.

This will be a waste of money and a huge disappointment for you.

Did you write for me or ??? If for me then I already bought it yesterday. It's just that we did it very funny. They brought the rumba home, put on exercises for the night. In the morning we turn on the TV, and there we have a test drive. We haven't even turned on ours yet.
And about the transfer, even my husband, who was very skeptical before buying a rumba, said that this story is complete nonsense. Indeed, it looks like anti-advertising.

Did you write for me or ???

Of course not!
Regardless of the fact that I am an interested person (seller), I try to be objective. Therefore, he emphasized: in the conditions shown in the video, Rumba will really look far from in the best light.

But whether these are real conditions in an average typical apartment is not a question for me.

Do you know what this video reminds me of? An advertisement for some miracle mop. When they show some morons who either spill water from a bucket and scratch their turnips, they say, how to clean it now? Or they dip an ordinary mop with a rag into a bucket and, without squeezing, begin to carry it across the floor, smearing the dirt. And all the main thing is hair on end and a killed look! They say there is no way to do without our miracle mop! How can you clean the floors now without this super-necessary device? Have you had dirt before? Will be! If you don’t buy our wonderful mop!

But are these conditions real?

Yes, not a fig not real. People cannot live like that! And if they can, then they just need to be strangled so that cockroaches are not bred for the whole house, and the unfortunate Rumbiks are not tortured, Herods!
Mine just rode up, like - maam, did you call me?

[for supporting]

She didn’t even look to the end. I got a rumba not so long ago. First of all I took it for supporting cleanliness in the apartment, this unit is not suitable for general cleaning. And to throw in pieces of paper, stubs and other large things and say that he is not coping at all is not correct.
I am more than satisfied with the robot. For collecting dust, sand, and small debris, it does a great job. And once a week I take out a regular vacuum cleaner and wash the floor with a steam generator.And forgive me, but I myself will pick up the stub from the floor (but no one practices such an outrage as throwing garbage on the floor on purpose), and I will not suck it in with a vacuum cleaner.
I go barefoot at home, so I can say with full responsibility that the robot does dry cleaning well.

I, too, did not finish watching ... and what to watch? Mine is already 3 years old-563 PET, once I changed the battery (I ordered it through ebay) at home 3 animals, but without him I would have died a long time ago, to rake everything out, I love him with immense love and the shore is sooooooo ...

Hurrah! Launched rumbica: yahoo: We were very pleased with the quality of cleaning, the guy knows his job. At the end of the cleaning I had to clean it. But honestly, I didn't expect it to be that simple. I am very grateful to everyone who helps in choosing. Thank you.
p. s. from personal experience I was convinced that the plot in the program "All will be good" is complete nonsense.

Greetings to all owners and connoisseurs of rumba! For several years, I sometimes looked at this thread, as a result, recently I have been considering the possibility of acquiring a robot vacuum cleaner for myself. But I could not find an answer to a number of questions for myself. So I am asking for your help.
Apartment 100 sq. M. Robots of the 600 series will not cope with cleaning in one go? Does this mean you need 700 generations?
Will the 700 cope in one go QUALITATIVE? Territory for everyday cleaning: 3 rooms, a kitchen, a corridor divided into 2 compartments without partitions, a bathroom. How realistic is it to remove it all at once?
The fact is that reading your messages I realized that if you do not put virtual walls or close the rumbics in each separate room, it will quickly go through the entire area, and the result will be mediocre ... Is this really SO really? How then to clean up in my case: buy a LOT of virtual walls?
I hope for the help of the collective intelligence.

I have Rumbik 780, house 180 sq. m, cleans up at a time without recharging. I have a kitchen with a dining room separated by an arch, where I use beacons, and in other rooms there are sills more than 2 cm, so it does not go over them, I have to move it, it cleans up with high quality. But in the bathroom, I do not run it, because it is afraid of moisture, and there children always spray.

[Tatoshenka]

Tatoshenka, Thank you for the quick response! : hi: From it, I realized that I need a 700 series vacuum cleaner, 600 will not be enough.
I wonder if he somehow tells you that the room is ready and he needs to be moved to another?
Why do you share the kitchen with the dining room with beacons? Can't he clean such a large area?
We have no porosity, so we would like to somehow automate the cleaning process so as not to carry it from room to room. Or is it impossible?
And one more thing: what kind of children you have screamed at me, they happen to spray not only the bathroom, but in general wherever they can. Probably, before starting the rumba, you will have to rub the liquid everywhere with a rag

[dreamer]

dreamer, ideally, you need as many lighthouses as separate rooms, plus a kitchen. Otherwise, he does not know where he has already been and where he has not. And dangles back and forth, really cleaning me. He needs a guide in the form of beacons. A lighthouse is placed on the doorstep of every room and everything is done. But for me, for example, it is more convenient without beacons. Otherwise, Rumbik and the dog cannot divide the territory in any way: only the dog will settle down mentally to sleep - Rumbik urgently needs to go there. The dog will shift - Rumbik is right there again! Therefore, it makes no sense for me to spend money on three more lighthouses. I just run it into the room for a certain time from 15 to 35 minutes, depending on the size of the room, and then I catch it, turn it off and move it on. So we get out.

Can't he clean such a large area?

If the area is really large (over 100-120 sq. M.) And you want a full automatic machine, I recommend taking a closer look at the vacuum cleaners (also American) of the company Neato xv.

Do 600 Series robots fail to clean in one go? Does this mean you need 700 generations?
Will the 700 cope in one go QUALITATIVE?

It's not about the series, but the model. As has already been pointed out many times, beacons from the 700 series only support 780 and 790. But you can still look for 581 or 571 - they also support and are equipped with beacons.

And dangles back and forth, really cleaning me. He needs a guide in the form of beacons. A lighthouse is placed on the doorstep of every room and everything is done.

So you need lighthouses to completely clean every room and kitchen? We don't have a dog. It turns out that the beacons set the cleaning sequence for the robot, are they numbered or what? First, he cleans up where the lighthouse number 1 is, then the room with the lighthouse number 2, etc.? And what about the corridor? it is into it that the doors from the rooms and the kitchen go.

Area 100sq. m plus furniture, so even less. 3 rooms, kitchen, corridor.
What we need is a full automatic machine that will be removed in our absence. Rumbik can't? It's just that there is a lot of information on the rumba, but I don't know anything about this vacuum cleaner. Could you briefly highlight its pros and cons compared to rumba

[dreamer]

dreamer, I also have all the rooms from the corridor, the boy copes. He does not number the lighthouses, the order of the rooms is arbitrary, but he cleans all of them.

I wonder if he somehow tells you that the room is ready and he needs to be moved to another?

When the vacuum cleaner considers a limited space to be cleaned, it beeps

Otherwise, Rumbik and the dog cannot divide the territory in any way: only the dog will settle down mentally to sleep - Rumbik urgently needs to go there. The dog will shift - Rumbik is right there again!
[/ quote]: lol: Lena, I have the same thing, only with a cat.

It turns out that the beacons set the cleaning sequence for the robot, are they numbered or what? First, he cleans up where the lighthouse number 1 is, then the room with the lighthouse number 2, etc.? And what about the corridor? it is into it that the doors from the rooms and the kitchen go.

Lighthouses are not numbered. Simply Rumbik, somehow recognizes them, and knows - who is where. In the room in which the base is located, the lighthouse is not needed, Rumbik already knows that she is there, he left it. And then, to navigate around the house, beacons help him. Which, by the way, have two functions: a conductor and a wall, beyond which it will not go out. I just switched it over and that's it. With lighthouses, Rumbik will not get lost in the apartment and, even if the battery runs out, he will go to the base, recharge and continue working. And without lighthouses, he will just wander around the apartment from room to room and will not remember whether he was there already or not. As a result, low-quality cleaning will result. Therefore, if you do not have animals and you leave home for the whole day, buy additional beacons and do not worry anymore. Rumbik will do everything for you!

even if the battery runs out, it will go to the base, charge and continue working.

Do you have a Roomba?

Hello! And who do you think I'm writing about here? About him, darling! I have the 780th.

And your 780 is able to recharge and continue cleaning where it has not finished ???
I assure you, you are the only Rumba owner who can do this.

[Robo-Cop]

Robo-Cop, you know ... you so openly expressed distrust that I even doubted if my head was okay.
Well, I will tell you the situation I faced, and you yourself will draw your own conclusions.
From somewhere, I don't remember where exactly, maybe from the Internet or from advertising, I got the information that Rumbik, after being discharged, goes to the base to recharge and then continues cleaning. So, one fine day, I decided to check - will go or not.To do this, I had to discharge it, and I drove it several times through all the rooms, except for the one in which the base is located. After waiting for the charging indicator to turn red, I fished out Rumbik, turned it off and put it on the base. Immediately I set the start time for him to start cleaning so that he could leave the base. Cleaning was to start in about a minute and a half. And so it happened. Rumbik left for cleaning with an almost discharged battery and was spinning for a while in this room, because I blocked his exit outside. So, after a short period of time, I heard that Rumbik was quiet. I go into the room, and he is at the base. Moreover, he did not clean the room completely. Well, it's worth it and it's worth it, it's charging. I completely forgot about him. Late in the evening ... we are sitting with a dog - we are shaking from watching a movie about sharks and suddenly Rumbik cuts in and starts cleaning. She caught him, dragged him to the base, took the dog off the chandelier and came to the conclusion that the information was confirmed, if it was not okay. I didn't check it again, being sure that it was true. Tell me, what other conclusion should I have come to after all that happened?

Tell me, what other conclusion should I have come to after all that happened?

In short, you shouldn't watch horror movies at night, and even alone with a dog ...

So, horror movies are to blame, you suppose? Surely not mushrooms? And then I sinned on them!

No, not mushrooms. If there were mushrooms, then Rumba would also remove the dog from the chandelier ...

The phrase "... after all that happened ...?" , Lena, really cheered me up!

Glad to try! Well, at least some sense from me ...

Well, now, it seems, and began to reach me At least some picture in my head began to take shape: I need a 780 or 790 rumba with a lot of lighthouses.
Check me, please, whether I correctly counted the number of beacons required in this case: I need to have a beacon in each room (these are 3 pieces), plus another in the kitchen (it turns out already 4 pieces). I have a corridor in the shape of the letter G - how many do I need 1 or 2? And tell me, please, what are the lighthouses? Do they need to be fixed? How carefully should you handle them? As far as I understand, beacons can be purchased for the main set, no one knows - how expensive is it?

[dreamer]

dreamer, for Rumbiks 780 and 790 beacons cost 1500r per piece. Where do you plan to place the base? Otherwise, maybe the beacons won't be needed in the corridor. The location is not known! You don't need to fix them, they just stand. I'll try to find a video by which it will become clear to you how many lighthouses you need and how Rumbik drives along them.

[dreamer]

dreamer, here, I found it! Look, there is a base in one room and lighthouses near two doors. And in the hallway - no. Nevertheless, Rumbik knows where to go: where he has already scrubbed, and where not. Look to the end, and you will see - he removed everything and did not get lost!

[dreamer]

dreamer, Look to the end, and you will see - he removed everything and did not get lost!

Elena, thank you very much! And what would I do without you
I completely forgot about the base. Her - in the kitchen, near the doors of 3 rooms are lighthouses, and the rumbik corridor, judging by the video, must be cleaned by himself. Perhaps I will close the bathroom from him. Total need for 3 lighthouses! One of them is probably included. I will go to study the complete set of 780 and 790, where to buy and most importantly - prices.
Maybe you can advise a trusted store from which your reliable and beloved home employee came to you (bent)

[dreamer]

dreamer, Includes two beacons! But at the expense of the store ... I have to ask my husband, he ordered. But I remember exactly that I had to wait a week! And this is in Moscow! But I must say that prices are almost the same everywhere. We just had to pay with a card, so we chose a stupid store. So, you can safely order on the official website! Good luck to you!
