Rumba - robot vacuum cleaner for dry cleaning

On their website it is indicated that in the 780 model there are 2 beacons in the kit, and in the 790 - 3, just how much I need. Only 790, as far as I understood, is out of stock.
What if you try to buy 790 rumba directly in America? Only now there will probably be a problem with adapters. Or can I buy it here? For me, all electrical questions are a dark forest

With a robot, for some reason, I have the greatest agony of choice. I swept through all (probably) models, but returned to Rumba .... I wonder how often they have breakdowns during the warranty period?

It is possible, of course, in America. What about the guarantee? One guy bought it in the States for $ 400 and brought it to Moscow. I was so happy that I bought it so much cheaper. And he barked there. He is now waiting for the flight there again to repair it under warranty.

And he barked there. He is now waiting for the flight there again to repair it under warranty.

Horror! I don’t want to set myself up for a breakdown in advance, but still it’s somehow calmer with a guarantee.
And I still decided to find out what kind of neato that Robocop mentioned on the previous page. And then the agony of choice visited me. Throwing began between neato and rumbic 780 (or 790). It has a big plus - navigation, no beacons, it doesn’t clean up chaotically, it doesn’t bump into furniture, if the charge is over, the price returns from the base where it hasn’t been removed. But there are also enough minuses: and above all, the absence of officers. service, source of spare parts, high breakdown rate. Alenka212, share your experience, why did you decide to return to rumba? I ask the moderates to generously excuse if I am writing here not entirely on the topic

[myself]

: mail1: Returned after love just to neato. The temptation is very great. It is the lack of service in our city that scares. Judging by the reviews of the owners, many robots are being sold that have a problem with motor wheels. It seems that now it has been eliminated, but where is the guarantee that the robot from the old edition will not get caught. Those who are tech-savvy or advanced will solve this problem. And should I look for Kulibin, who will try to fix it for good money? Someone correctly wrote that the idea is very good, but this model is not for those who cannot solve these problems. Personally, I was faced with the repair of a non-branded steam generator with a service in our city, and that is expensive. Where should I run if the robot throws out a trick? Rumba will be repaired at least in the service for my money, and none of the interviewed employees of the existing repair shops wants to deal with nito.
This is my personal opinion, not raclamation, and not anti-advertising. Now again I painfully choose the Rumba model.
The more I choose, the more difficult it is from unnecessary information in my head.
Tell me! Between the 600 and 700 lines, there really is a difference in "intelligence" (except for programming cleaning): in a more advanced cleaning system, in the ability to better search for a base, to completely remove the set in the absence of the owners, or something else? Is it worth driving a model from the 700s if the budget is small. In terms of area and the presence of a combination of carpets and cats, 620 were advised. But most importantly, he must clean myself one day living room-kitchen (separated by an opening), bedroom and hallway. i.e. 4 rooms. And on another day there is a hall and also small 4 rooms.
Did I understand correctly that the beacons temporarily separate the cleaning area and do not release the robot until it has cleaned the given room? And then he moves to the next one, etc. Accordingly, I will need 4 more beacons to the robot. And will the 6th model pull that amount?

Alenka212, virtual walls limit the cleaning space, and beacons allow the robot not to get lost in the apartment, but to clean the rooms in which they are installed. And then, in theory, return to the base for recharging.
But the more I immerse myself in user reviews, the more I have doubts about the advisability of buying a large number of lighthouses and an "advanced" rumba (if we stop at it). Everyone writes that it will be possible to automate the process with a rumba, if the apartment is 1-2 rooms, if the area is larger, then - according to reviews - the robot will get confused somewhere, forget where the base is and be discharged before reaching it. In other words, user participation is inevitable. But then why overpay for 700 models, if you still have to manually start it in each separate room behind a closed door. CONVINCE me, users, if this is not the case !!!

girls, if my review is useful to someone, then I have two robots - Nito and Scuba. Scuba is infinitely happy, but Nito ... is a separate song with a chorus
everything is fine with the motor and the wheels, but something happened to the laser navigation after six months of operation, they repair it only in St. Petersburg, in our city everyone shies away, as they hear the brand of a vacuum cleaner. But the problem is not even what needs to be sent to Peter
He broke down with me in September - it was only by November to get through to the service - one number is not serviced, the other - no one picks up the phone, since November I got through to them one more time - that's all. Under the guarantee, they do not refuse to repair, but in fact, sending the robot is unrealistic. There is simply no strength to contact the store in a terribly pregnant state, although it is insulting to tears, and if it were not for my well-being, I would definitely bring the matter to an end. I found craftsmen with us - they will see what can be done - I hope for them for now.
Now for the operation: there are no complaints about the quality of cleaning. BUT I have an apartment of 100 m2 in the total area, at a time one battery charge was enough for about 40-50 m2 maximum, it took about 40 minutes to clean this area, and then went to charge for 1.5-2 hours.
That is, by and large it differs little from Rumba in terms of harvesting time in the presence of large areas. If the apartment is small, then yes it makes sense, otherwise there is more trouble than good.

[dreamer]

dreamer, I put it wrong (tried to correct). I just understood about the virtual wall. I can't deal with the lighthouses! Don't lp!

The wall and the lighthouse are one device, only with a switch, when the switch is on the wall function, the device simply will not let the rumba beyond the line on which it is located, and if you switch to the lighthouse function, it will not release the rumba from one room to another while it is will not remove. The beacon function is simply not supported by all models. I have a rumba 790, there were three lighthouse walls in the kit, it takes almost three hours to fully discharge, but usually I don't drive it that much, only when I need to discharge it periodically.

I just understood about the virtual wall. I can't deal with the lighthouses! Don't lp!

We conventionally call "beacons" a device that is placed on the floor and directs (guide) or limits (virtual wall) the movement of the vacuum cleaner. Its correct name is "Movement Coordinator". But the dual-function coordinator we are talking about now is not suitable for all Rumbics. Now I looked, it is suitable for models 560, 562, 581, 780, 790.

I had a robot vacuum cleaner, from the topic "others", broke down, money is returned under the guarantee. And here again I have a problem of choice ..... Which one? I understand that I need Rumba, especially since I have a Scuba. But what is Rumba? I don't need a heaped one. But it is necessary that he could remove 100 square meters in one charge. m. Are there such Rumbas?

[Lille]

Lilleunfortunately, only two Rumbics - 780 and 790 - can clear a hundred squares at a time. All the others have a smaller cleaning area.

[Elena Tim]

Elena Tim, thanks for the information, I will go through these Rumbam reviews to study

[Lasunya]

Lasunya
Lenk, and Lenk! And where did you grab the 790? I thought that they were not on sale yet.Listen, there are no brushes in the 790, or what? How is he, in general, at work, I wonder?

Thanks for the information, I'll go through these Rumba reviews to study

That on health, Hospadya! But just keep in mind that you should not count the area of ​​the apartment according to the BTI plan. In fact, you still have furniture, which occupies a certain number of square meters. So, the area for cleaning is less! Therefore, you can safely pay attention to the 770th model. There, it seems, is 80 sq. meters.
I, too, foolishly told everyone that my Rumbik 780 calmly cleans 120 meters! And I just could not figure out how he does it, if declared - a hundred! Only then, like a giraffe, it dawned on how much space was being eaten up by furniture? The kitchen unit alone is worth something. Damn it!
I’ll go off before they beat me ...

[Lasunya]

Lasunya
Lenk, and Lenk! And where did you grab the 790? I thought that they were not on sale yet. Listen, there are no brushes in the 790, or what? How is he, in general, at work, I wonder?

Thou Lenus, 790 has been around for a long time, it's 800 recently appeared, they have rubber brushes, I didn't want it, and 790 is sold everywhere, I bought it on the official aerobot. He is so beautiful with a chumadan, there are all the supplies and beacons, well, and the touch control panel, which I don't really like, once accidentally when I wiped something, it was programmed, so he jumped up at night and went to clean, my cat even had eyebrows on end frightened

And about meters, the freer the area, the more and faster he cleans up, so if I don't clean two chairs in the kitchen, he drives there for 10 minutes longer, while he is circling around the chairs, so I began to turn them on the table, but if the geometry space is difficult, it crawls longer.

I'll go to study the complete set of 780 and 790, where to buy and most importantly - prices

I bought here
🔗
and here are all the spare parts for Rumbik, including the virtual wall
🔗accessories-for-vacuum cleaners.asp
The store is proven by many with HP.
Regarding faults, I was told that they accept returns and even pay the shipping costs. But it is better to clarify this point with them by asking them a question.
Delivery cost within 1200 rubles, at least for one product, at least for many goods within 20 kg.
Capital packing. So I took Skuba to the Russian Federation, they sent it only in her own packing box, and Rumbik came from Germany, so there was one more box, in addition to the native box, exactly according to the format of the Rumbik box, and then everything was put into a large packing box, since I had more devices purchased.
Good luck!

Thou Lenus, 790 has been around for a long time, it's 800 recently appeared,

Aaaaaa! Exactly! I confused him with the 880th! Well ...

Nymph, thanks for the tip! Good luck with your nito repair! There is also a forum, there are many Kulibins who repaired such vacuum cleaners. Well, you probably already know.
Thanks to collective intelligence, one rumba remained on the list of applicants. But doubts are still gnawing: whether 780-790 rumba will be able to remove 100 sq. and not get lost. just don't throw your slippers at me, I know - the instructions say what it can. But the instruction is one thing, and the other is how he behaves in the case. Elena and some other hostesses wrote that they themselves carry him from room to room.
And there is someone whose rumba completely automatically cleans 3 rooms, a corridor and a kitchen on one charge, and then also returns to the base, and does not get lost somewhere along the way.

Thanks to collective intelligence, one rumba remained on the list of applicants. But doubts still gnaw:

sister! Only I am even further from the goal: I choose between 600 and 700 ...
Maybe someone will poke: somewhere in the forum there was a comparison table between the models ...

[dreamer]

dreamer, I don’t know who’s how, but in my bedroom Rumbik often drove onto the carpet (we have an octagonal carpet there and some edges wrap up over time and we get such a roller), gives an error and stands. I go over and re-launch it, removing it from the "roller". Somehow in the same room, where I did not expect at all, I got entangled in the curtains. Sometimes, leaving one room, I get stuck on the doorstep and give an error. You need to go up and take it off and run it. And if this is not done, then it will remain where it is stuck until you remove it.

[Nymph]

NymphThank you, I’ve already started looking for her.Special (repeated) thanks to Robo Cop!

[Albina]

Albina, what is your model?

Rumba 780, and bought the first 620 (mother-in-law gave it)

After an hour of cleaning, my rumba goes to the base, so I turn off the base when I want it to clean everywhere

Girls, Lasunya and Albina, I apologize for the immodest question, do you have a large area? Not less than 100 sq.

Lasunya, thanks for the secret from the series "how to cheat rumbics"! The master's case is afraid
Alenka212

After an hour of cleaning, my rumba goes to the base, so I turn off the base when I want it to clean everywhere

And I just close the room where the base is.

do you have a large area? Not less than 100 sq.

I have two floors of 120m each, on the first floor I launch every other day, on the second time a week, they get less dirty there

And I just close the room where the base is.

I have a base in the hallway, when the rumba climbs out of one room and goes into the hall, then goes to another, only he sees the base, immediately pushes his ass on it

Girls, Lasunya and Albina, I apologize for the immodest question, do you have a large area? Not less than 100 sq.

We have a total area of ​​87.6 sq. m.
I chose according to the principle: progress does not stand still, it is better to buy a more modern one today, and tomorrow this model will already be outdated

[Lasunya]

Lasunya, and if you don't touch it after recharging, will you go on to clean it up? Or "settled down" for good and forgot about this task?

Lasunya, and if you don't touch it after recharging, will you go on to clean it up? Or "settled down" for good and forgot about this task?

I never programmed it so that the task was, I just start it and that's it, but it seems like the rumbas don't go back after recharging, it's like Neato is coming back.

[Lenus,]

Lenus, Here is an excerpt from the description of your Rumbik from the official website: "The presence of three lighthouses in the kit makes it possible to clean up to four or five rooms (120 m2). If the robot does not have time to clean the entire area (it does not pass through all the beacons), then after charging it will continue cleaning from the place where it interrupted to recharge."

If the robot does not have time to clean the entire area (it will not pass through all the lighthouses), then after charging it will continue cleaning from the place where it left off to recharge. "

Wow, I didn’t try to read my own instructions, but I reread others' thanks Lenus, we will study this question

Aha! So I just have to read strangers. Because even a year and a half ago, she financed her somewhere. Recently I tried to find it - it's unreal!

[If the robot does not have time to clean the entire area (it does not pass through all the beacons), then after charging it will continue cleaning from the place where it left off for recharging. "]

Girls, 780 can do that too If the robot does not have time to clean the entire area (it does not pass through all the beacons), then after charging it will continue cleaning from the place where it left off for recharging. "

Hardly, Lenus. My, most likely, just had a glitch. And I no longer checked it as unnecessary!

It's a pity, the 790 hurts too much for the price ... And who knows how many traffic coordinators (beacons) can be bought for the robot. What if you buy it, but he won't see them?

Well, look, think carefully - do you really need this function? If yes, then put on a muzzle on the price, so as not to bite and buy! There is no third!

What if you buy it, but he won't see them?

I am lazy, I am burning over you! Are you going to buy about thirty of them?
May he see where he will go. Of course, sometimes glitches happen, but not for everyone!

Girls, I'm sorry to meet. When I bought my Rumbik, I had 780, my husband said to buy 790, but since a toad came to me, we called at the office. site to find out what is the difference between them, the consultant said that the "brains" of these models are absolutely the same, and the difference in price is due to the configuration.

[Elena Tim]

Elena Tim, I already have the most glitches from the agony of choice.Thank God I have at least decided on the manufacturer. Soon I’ll go nuts from choosing a model. Started from the 620th. But I feel that at least 780 will have to be bought. After all, motion coordinators are compatible only with them. And I can't live without them! I plan that we will work with the robot in parallel: I am at work, and he is at home (himself and completely).

the consultant said that the "brains" of these models are absolutely the same, and the difference in price is due to the configuration.

The consultant said everything correctly. Not only the brains, but the vacuum cleaners themselves are the same. The difference in the number of add. consumables and beacons (in the 790th they are packed in a separate case), as well as in the remote control (in the 790th it is touch-sensitive).

[Robo-Cop]

Robo-Cop, but if the 790 is able to finish cleaning after recharging, and they have the same mogzy with the 780. then 780 can do that too?

I now have a need to buy a dust collector, I read it when I ordered what comes with a filter ... I did not understand which one, yellowish or something else, which is built-in?

[Elena Tim]

Elena Tim, Started from the 620th. But I feel that at least 780 will have to be bought. After all, motion coordinators are compatible only with them. And I can't live without them! I plan that we will work with the robot in parallel: I am at work, and he is at home (himself and completely).

For example, I have so many places where it can get stuck, so I turn it on only when I'm at home, so I didn't bother with expensive ones, half an hour and the room was cleaned while I was busy in the kitchen, and then we pass it from room to room .. I dream about Skubochka

For example, I have so many places where he can get stuck, ...... here I dream of Skubochka

I try to get rid of such places in the hope of acquiring it. But I can't dream of Scuba: I have a laminate.
While I was writing, I thought: I probably still need to dream ... In the bathrooms, then granite tiles!

Just for the bathroom to buy a Scuba, I think that this is a whim or just money "chickens do not peck". She's more expensive than Rumba
