Rumba - robot vacuum cleaner for dry cleaning

provides a built-in ultraviolet lamp and also knows how to do both wet and dry cleaning (I describe my work Sititek LR-450). I can't really get enough of it.

Not buying? prices are at the level of 630 rumba, unfortunately, the ultraviolet lamp in your robot behind plastic glass and its only advantage is that there is a piece of visible blue light that pleases the user, for that it does not injure the eyes of those who may be close to your loved ones, especially children, all ultraviolet light is lost on the plastic protective glass, only quartz or UV glass passes through ultraviolet light, a useless function in this design, but the box was ticked, apparently, like with wet cleaning, there is also a tick, the more ticks the cooler, but for odnushki it will go.

Oh, I'm completely confused, I'm already leaning towards 870 rumba (I have 90 meters, cork under varnish, no carpets, full of long hair). I read various forums, but there are not so many reviews of real owners. Maybe someone has an 870 or 880. How are they used, is it difficult to remove hair from the brushes and do they collect large debris? They also write that their brushes are very delicate, they can be damaged by sharp debris.

[Olga7]

Olga7, in the conditions that you described the robots are unambiguous, but the number of rooms and the ability to work with beacons in 880 completely covers your requests, 870 without movement coordinators, and is declared by the manufacturer up to 80m.
If you sprinkle broken glass, throw screws and nails on the floor, then of course the rollers will be damaged. But in this case, the use of any robots is problematic. What do you mean by the phrase difficult to remove hair from rollers and what kind of large debris do you think?

Large debris is particles 1 cm by 1 cm, cereals, bread crumbs.
I just read that when there is a lot of dust, the container for these models is filled in such a way that it is not yet full,
and the suction power is already decreasing. That is, the volume of the container is not fully used and large garbage is poorly removed.
Maybe I got it all wrong.

Hair is difficult to remove when it is wound tightly and requires a special device to remove it.

I also have a question if the 870 model brushes will scratch the cork floor. I already have scratches from the wheelchair.

[Olga7]

Olga7, you probably confused robots with normal vacuum cleaners, if you need more suction power, then you are at the wrong address, these are helpers for everyday cleaning. And do not expect a miracle here .. These are just hard workers helping in routine work: the apartment will be clean, even the carpet will shine and linoleum, but a simple dust is needed once a week, they still need to go through. These robiki act as sweepers in the first place.
if you need a powerful dust, pay attention to Dyson

Yes, I do not confuse a robot with an ordinary vacuum cleaner. I just read about 870 on other forums that, due to the new design of the brushes and the garbage collector, the power declared by it is not used in full. Therefore, I would like to hear feedback from real users.

[Olga7]

Olga7, about a damaged roller there was only one case sounded in Russia, Westerners have not yet described this on the forums, Lego, unfortunately, is a damaging factor for the 8xx series rumba, in this case you should look at Botvac, Neato XV, rather large openings of air ducts and air intakes , the system of competent navigation, the suction power is greater than in the rumba, if you put only a brush with plastic blades on the robot, then long hair is twisted in a very limited amount.The power of the robot is a very relative concept, cereals, bread crumbs, crackers, everything will disappear in the womb of Nito and Botvak, as well as in Rumba (except for 1x1cm pieces), but 8mm balls will already be swallowed, Rumba has a narrower gap. If the size of 1x1 is fundamental, take a 7xx series, there 1.5x1.5 will fly in and not choke, and if you take a 600 series, it can swallow 2x2 if it can hit such a mountain.

I love my 620 and I think that expensive ones are useless

Thanks for the answer, we have just a lot of legos. I didn't even think about him.
Is it possible to insert a Hepa filter into the 631 model yourself, if necessary?

[Olga7]

Olga7So you have come to the question of Nera, and what class of Nera filtration do you need in cleaning with a robot?
The manufacturer suggests changing filters once a month, will you change them as often?
Many users wash these filters dry and use many times in a row, will you do the same?
Do you now use vacuum cleaners with Nera filters for cleaning and what class, how often do you change the filters?

This is a departure from the topic.
It's the same with bacteria, if on TV they show the life of bacteria under the rim, then we know about this, well, even on the handrails of the bus, I haven't watched TV for a long time, I can't clarify,
but it is impossible to check how the HEPA filtration works and whether it works, there is no microscope at hand, there is no special equipment, if it is not visible, then there is nothing and excellent. HEPA is a very necessary thing in the production of electronics, you do not breathe through filters on the street, in the country, in nature, it is almost impossible to completely protect the air from dust, this is to create a separate breathing circuit and change and change filters according to the period of use and evaluate their performance using measurements.
When buying, we choose with the coolest filters, and during operation we don’t change them, but we clean them, vacuum them, knock them out, etc. prolonging the filter's life as much as possible, it seems to me that this is some kind of antagonism, we choose the freshest products, and then we store them for as long as possible to eat on the verge or beyond spoilage.
I think there is some inconsistency, first we care about health, and after the purchase we take care of money.

[Sens]

Sens, but does the rumba work without this wire? And then my brushes stopped rotating, I read on iksbt that I needed to clean the motor. But it was precisely because of this wire that I could not pull it out of the brush block :(. And I was afraid to tear off the wire.

works without procrastination!
cleaned, assembled - and it works! the carpets for which she is needed, I still don't have
but I had an error 2. what is yours?

It means to replace the entire brush module with a new one, the officials now have it 1460, and it is much easier to clean it than previous versions.

It is also worth replacing the trash can with an Aerovac from the 6xx model, while it costs 600r, and you will shake it out with one movement of your hand, it does not have a rubber comb, this was the simplest and most significant upgrade for 5xx models. Only 2000 rubles. and model 5 turns into 6. More details: https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/in...on=com_smf&topic=112612.0

I will find out!
is the cleaning module with brushes like that?

and this is AeroVac Dust Collector for 600 Series

Thank you all for your advice, today we brought 631 models tomorrow we will launch.

[Sens]

Sens, it is they, Aerovac is now 800r.

I don't have time to reread the whole topic, do we have representatives of official dealers here?
Are there any discounts for members of the forum?
Another question is which model is optimal in terms of price-function ratio, dry cleaning, it is clear that Rumba, there is a cat, 90 meters of area, many corners, cork under varnish, cork, entrance group-tiles, laminate, thresholds.
thanks in advance

How high are the rapids? If 2 cm and more, then the simplest 620 or 630 model is enough for you. Because neither the scheduling models nor the beacon-enabled models are useful to you.

If it is less than 2 cm and you want complete automation, then you need a model with beacon support. The cheapest of all currently available is 785. Search, you may find 780 more.We have it in Ukraine a little cheaper than 785, but this model is being taken out of the market and it is already difficult to buy it.

If automatism is not fundamental, but you want to program cleaning in your absence, then the most affordable model is 650.

There are discounts, but I work in Ukraine.

thank you very much
The thresholds are less than 2 cm, the husband wants maximum automaticity
Yes, we looked at 780, 785 and 790, but for some reason 790 also has few places where there is a price
Do you know who of the trusted dealers in Moscow? You can in PM

I don’t know in Kiev, even more so in Moscow. Why do you need a "proven" dealer? Take it where the price is cheaper and there is a guarantee. Don't chase 790: overpaying for a suitcase with accessories is a dubious advantage. The remote control there is really beautiful - but we don't need show-off, right? Choose a cheaper model, buy additional lighthouses in the required quantity - and voila!

You can also take a look at Neato Botvac. You already have an office in Russia. importer with a real guarantee. If Rumba 780/785/790 comes out cheaper, I advise you to consider. A very worthy competitor! One minus is expensive. But we have it. And the rest is more powerful and smarter than Rumba. IMHO.

Thanks for another look.
And how to understand with a real guarantee and what is the official?

I had a problem today. Rumbik 760 will be exactly one year old, as it appeared in our house and it broke down: (Today we wanted to start it, but when the clean button is pressed, it emits a sad short peak and that's it, no more action. The same thing happens if you try to start it with the clean button The same story with the spot and dok buttons. The buttons are all lit, the time is adjusted. The only thing he does is to drive with the control buttons on the remote control. What it can be, where to dig, the warranty is over, but the service center in the city looks like no :( Maybe the respected Robo cop will tell you what to prepare for?

Strange, does it give out any errors on the display or in a voice?
Then we try to restart the vacuum cleaner. To do this, remove the battery for 10 minutes. Then we put it back, try, unsubscribe.

There are no mistakes, a short peak and that's it. I reloaded the battery, turned it off for half an hour, the result is the same :(

Try putting it into test mode.
To enable the service test mode, do the following:
1) If the robot is on, turn it off by holding down the "Clean" button.
2) While holding down the "Clean" and "Dock" buttons, press the "Spot" button 6 times.
That's it, the robot has entered the service testing mode and is at zero test - checking the light indication. To select the required test, use the "Dock" and "Spot" buttons ("Dock" - next, "Spot" - previous) and then in accordance with the self-test table ...

They took it to an electronics engineer to a friend to disassemble and look at the boards for water, etc. We will wait for the result until tomorrow.

Please tell me, on Rumba 610 the clock is set to 12-hour mode. I want to switch to 24-hour. I read in the instructions (I've already rummaged a bunch of them) that for this you need to press and hold the CLOCK key. I press and ... nothing. I want to program for cleaning at 8 am. And because of this 12-hour mode, it starts cleaning at 8 pm. Or are there any nuances?

You are not reading the instructions for your model.
On your time change is done like this:
To switch from AM / PM mode to 24h mode and vice versa, you must simultaneously press and hold the DAY (day) and MINUTE (minute) buttons for 3 seconds. Roomba will beep to indicate that the mode has changed.

Thank you. Everything worked out. And this instruction was included, though in English. I was too lazy to read and think and decided to find it in Russian. I looked that my instruction for the 500 series and found it in Russian for the 500. But it turned out to be different. I didn't even think they were so different. So I will carefully look for the right one.

You will hardly need it - there should be no differences in the instructions between 500 and 610.
You used the tip (press and hold the Clean button) from the 700 Series instructions.

Help with advice. You need to buy a battery for the 610 model.Many stores now offer lithium ion batteries. As far as I understand, they work longer in time and they do not have to be driven until they are completely discharged, but they can withstand less charging cycles. This is me on the "men's forums" ran. Serious passions there on the rumba boil, with all sorts of technical details. I have a small area and I do not need it to crawl for 2 hours. Maximum - 3 rooms for 20-25 minutes for scheduled cleaning. So I'm thinking whether it's worth overpaying and buying such a battery, or a 3000mAh nickel-metal hydride battery will be enough.
And yet - advise a reliable seller. I think I can buy it on Aliexpress, but I would also like it from a reliable seller. Moreover, I haven't bought anything on it yet. Maybe someone has already bought and has experience.

I subscribe to the question. We sell for 9500 r, somehow not at all humane.

casino187 🔗 I especially want to draw your attention to the lithium-ion batteries for Rumba, super according to the reviews of Russian and American users, they only carry on the road.
Now I'm testing lithium-ion batteries for Neato-XV for an hour already, I'm not going to stop.

My cat likes iRobot

I like Botvac now.

Botvak 85 came to me from Germany too. I launched it only once.

Botvac is power! True, it is absolutely not popular in Ukraine. The Neato XV series was bought quite well. Compared to Rumbas, somewhere around 80/20. But Neato Botvac is not at all. Better Rumba 880 with a bunch of extra. lighthouses. And I don’t insist. Although I really like the new line from Neato.

[Erhan]

Erhan, Be sure to use a power cord that matches your outlet, do not use adapters, or replace with the correct plug. Laptop cable. And more often check the bearing on the brush, hair accumulates under it and gets inside the bearing, the bearing jams and melts the axis on which the robot's body sits, this will not fall under the warranty. This is the only bottleneck of the robot so far.

[Medtech]

MedtechThanks, I had two cables in the box - a double and a triple plug. I will follow the bearing, I read about it on ixbt.
In general, he is a fine fellow, at one gas station he vacuumed the entire apartment with a total area of ​​170 sq.m. and almost did not even get confused in the complex layout.

Hello! I ask for advice in choosing
I want a robot vacuum cleaner for a long time, at one time I read the whole topic, it seemed like I stopped at some of the 500 ... But it did not work out
Now I want to again, I got into the topic and realized that everything had changed and I had forgotten everything.
The goal is to clean a 3-room apartment, with an area of ​​about 60 m, a lot of furniture, laminate and tile floors, plus a hairy and very shedding cat.
While I'm leaning towards 650 or 770, but without arguments - purely aesthetically (well, the price does matter).
I would be grateful for any advice - which Rumbik is better under such conditions?

[svk2004]

svk2004, any, the cheapest will do.

[svk2004]

svk2004 If you clarify the territorial localization, it will be easier, 650 is not for sale in Russia, you will not see only 631 and 770, there is only 765.
for the 6xx version, the three-ruble note will be a bit too much, sometimes it may not be enough to enter or clean up a little, sometimes you have to lock it for better quality, it all depends on the location of the rooms, furniture, if it is possible to take the 7xx series better, but the 6xx series will also cope with certain conventions.

[Medtech]

Medtech, but what about the neato signature? We will sell on crazy days in Stockmann for 370 euros.

[Medtech]

Thanks for answers.
Medtech, I will take it in Ukraine, here 650 seems to be on sale, at least on the sites it lights up.
If I understand correctly, 7xx is better in terms of brains - if a complex layout and a lot of furniture?
I want maximum convenience - I pressed "one big button" and forgot ...

Not certainly in that way. Complex layouts can only be handled by models that support beacons. In the 7xx series, it is 785, or 780/790, which have already become a rarity. If you are ready to clean zonally, that is, divide the cleaning area into 2 stages - then any of 6xx or 7xx will do, but without the support of beacons - they are usually much cheaper than 785/780/790. Cleaning quality +/- the same.

In 6xx, if you do not need the function of scheduling cleaning by days of the week, then 620 or 631. In this case, 631 is preferable, since this model already has an improved type battery (2 times less frequent replacement), and an improved base (the power supply is integrated into the base case ).

If the planning function is needed, then the 650th.

[Medtech]

Medtech, but what about the neato signature? We will sell on crazy days in Stockmann for 370 euros.

Neato is a good machine. Neato is preferred over Rumba if:
1. There is an official guarantee
2. You are not bothered by the lack of a side brush.
3. The area exceeds 70-80 sq. M.

[Robo-Cop]

Robo-Cop, thanks for answers ! For all ifs, the answer is yes! True, there is also Rumba. Is Neato louder than Rumba?

If we are talking about Neato XV Signature (there is also Neato XV Signature Pro), then it is noisier. Especially on bare floors. Signature comes with only a silicone brush - it emits a significant hum when working. If there is a Rumba, then feel the increase in noise immediately. In the Pro model there is also a fluffy brush - with it the vacuum cleaner works quieter.

[Robo-Cop]

Robo-Cop, understandably! Unfortunately, we will not sell Pro. I'll think about it.
Thank you very much for your detailed answers!

[Rita]

RitaFor neato, you can always buy any brush, the combined one works much quieter, but it will still be louder than the rumba.
To select a robot, you should voice:
Apartment area
Number of rooms
Largest room area
Coating composition
The presence of thresholds
The presence of animals and what kind.
The presence of long-haired with a hair length of more than 25 cm
Who will service the robot
How do you imagine the work of a robot
Are you ready to adjust the room for robotic cleaning?
The budget issue is relevant, but the territorial difference is very large.
Of course, there is also a Neato Botvac with a side brush, but the budget increase will be more significant, the noise level with the combos will be lower, long work, unlike just Neato with different numbers and signatures.

Hello dear rumbovody! after a year of use, Rumba stopped collecting large debris, only sucks in dust ... what could be the matter? thanks in advance

for example, specially picked up small pieces of paper, crawls over them, it seems that they disappear apparently stick to something, then they fall off again and lie ((((
