Rumba - robot vacuum cleaner for dry cleaning

Girls, so what's with the dust in the air from Rumba? Is there or is it filtering it out? And who's better than the 550 or 580?

I think it makes no difference

And the cat rides on it ...

Hello everybody! ATP for advice, we bought 520 rumba current, so I have a question - the instructions say that you first need to carry out a restorative charge for 16 hours .. the rumba was turned on, the orange color started blinking and after 3 hours it turned green, that is, the vacuum cleaner is charged. .. what about regenerative charging? or to include it somehow?

So leave it to charge for a full 16 hours - do not touch it, even if the green light turns on after 3 hours.

the instructions say that you first need to carry out a restorative charge for 16 hours .. the rumba was turned on, the orange color began to flash and after 3 hours it turned green, that is, the vacuum cleaner turns out to be charged ... but what about the restorative charge? or to include it somehow?

Well, personally, I understood so for myself. If the robot (both) is completely discharged, then they need a full-full charge. And at my place both Rumb and Scuba arrived partially charged. So I used both of them at the signal of full charge. That is, when the signal in both cases was constantly green.
IMHO.

Hairpin, my mom, just like you did ... she said that the vacuum cleaner works fine even without these 16 hours ... I hope everything will be fine

Of course, normal, but not quite ... Just batteries (not only in robots, but also in phones, cameras, etc.), they are a little complicated ... Not like a bucket - how many liters are calculated, you pour so much water, pour out so much , and it will always be so until the bucket is full of holes. It is more difficult with batteries. They have some memory effect about their full capacity (and maximum discharge, by the way, too). Without fully discharging and charging the first few times (usually 3 times are recommended at least 12-16 hours), you simply do not use _all_ their capabilities. At first, this is not noticeable to the eye, but nevertheless, the battery capacity will be less than it could be, the equipment will work less from each charge, it will have to be charged more often, it will die faster, you will have to buy a new one more often, as a result, spend more money ...

[wash]

in 505 models you can wash trash container??? there is a propeller ... can he get out of standing from the water ???
tell me, pliz ...

I have a 530 model, there is a container and a propeller by themselves ...

read a lot. I want to give my mom a 505 rumba for the village, this option will do. And I like the price. But! The house is rustic, the floors are planks, partly covered with rugs. Rumbochka cleans carpets, but what about planks? And it seems there is a dark floor. Is he not afraid of the dark floor?

A dark color can scare Scuba. And even then ... I have a dark parquet floor, Scuba is not afraid.

I think that the Rumba 505 will cope with the boards. But he will not wash them. Only vacuums ...

Thanks for the clarification, I really confused it with scuba. And we ourselves can wash after cleaning. )))
The main thing is that there are a lot of guests in the village in the summer, mom and grandchildren are engaged, sand rushes from the street, cats, there is a lot of cleaning the floors, and I would like to free her ... especially considering that when I arrive, instead of resting, I get this activity. Then after s / n I'll go look.

[Mary Poppins]

Mary Poppins... just now I noticed that you are from Moscow ... As far as I understand, the 505 model has been discontinued for more than half a year and is sold only in remote regions ...In Ayrobot, this model has long been absent ...

It's a pity if so .. the price is very attractive. I looked at online stores - there are three stores, but it seems out of stock. And the rest of the models, I understand that from 15 and above? I'll go see ..

And the rest of the models, I understand that from 15 and above? I'll go see ..

To put it mildly ... if you take spare brushes, then there will be more ...

Hello, I bought Rumba 505 in November for a special offer for 9400 rubles.
Do not use. I'm faster with an ordinary vacuum cleaner.
Worth idle, I can sell.

[Anina!]

Anina!
1. Thanks for your negative feedback. He's our first (now I'm running away, I'll take the plus sign)
2. I would be grateful if you indicate your location in the profile
3. I'm just shocked that someone didn't like Rumba ... It's still clear about Scuba, but Rumba ...
4. Can you specify where you bought it? It's just that my first thought was that this is a model that is not adapted to our frequency ... but 505 ... the model number ... should be adapted
5. We have a topic on the forum Flea market. You can try to sell there, if it doesn't work out here ... It's here

All right, I am now the owner of the rumba. Thanks to Anina. We tested, vacuumed. The impression is more laborious than a vacuum cleaner, since the floor had to be emptied more thoroughly, the rumba was cleaned twice, in contrast to a vacuum cleaner, which is cleaned several times. But the sensations are very pleasant - when this creature crawls on the floor and it seemed that it was cleaning more thoroughly than me.
But since the robot was taken for the mother, the most laborious thing for her would be cleaning. Okay, we'll teach.

Hairpin, and which Rumba is the best price-quality ratio?
and for which one needs less consumables to buy (filters, brushes, dust collectors, etc.)?

the floor is wooden laminate.
no animals.
there are two pigs who are constantly littering, constantly snacking on something and dropping crumbs on the floor, if I'm not there, they can eat sandwiches in the room on the couch.

you have to vacuum every day: kitchen and living room (on weekends, sometimes 2 times a day), stop. premises: every three days.
otherwise, there is a lot of dust on the floor (apparently concrete walls are making themselves felt).

and yet - probably such a fragile and expensive piece should not be bought in an online store? so that if it breaks, you could return it without any problems?

thank you in advance.

Alas, but ... after the 505 model disappeared ... Well, it disappeared in Airobot. Maybe where else is there ... It's just that we all run there. Well, after the 505 disappeared, the cheapest is the 531. It has a base. The base is already mad with fat ... So look, you can find 505.

They have the same consumables.
Two brushes + 1 filter + propeller + cleaner. You can take it, you can not take it. I took.
Virtual wall (the 531 model does not come with it). Here the need is also questionable.

Conclusion. It makes sense to joke around the 505 model.

Girls, so what's with the dust in the air from Rumba? Is there or is it filtering it out? And who's better than the 550 or 580?

Dust after Rumba does not fly, because there is no powerful exhaust. It's like sweeping and cleaning the exhaust. True, when cleaning my nose itches, so it's better not to allow allergy sufferers to clean.

mine at the first cleaning did not go to look for the base. after half an hour of cleaning, I got up in the middle of the room and barked a phrase like "charge the rumba"! tired to see, I had to carry it in my arms ... lazy, however! )))))))))))))))))))

[Virtual wall]

and who uses virtual walls than mode Virtual wall differs from Lighthouse ?
And in order not to start it twice, I'll ask: to turn off this very virtual wall do you need to take out the batteries every time?
sorry if I repeat myself, but did not find information ...

[GlowingHouse]

to turn off this very virtual wall you need to take out the batteries every time?

No, you need to press a button.

But what is GlowingHouse and how does it differ from VirtualWall... I'm with Lighthouse did not intersect ...

Maybe it's not a limiter, but a coordinator? And this is switching between a constraint and a coordinator?

And in order not to start it twice, I'll ask: to turn off this very virtual wall do you need to take out the batteries every time?

There is a switch:

[Virtual Wall or Lighthouse]

Girls, but I have no buttons off there. There is only Virtual Wall or Lighthouse like either / or

Boo Boo, I don't know about the coordinator, but this is definitely a virtual wall

Oh, the vacuum cleaner drove to the base and it just turned off, well, at least with єti understand

[dopleta]

dopleta, I have a completely different one, no button, only a switch
610 model

[Boo Boo]

Yes, Boo BooYou are right, you can call him the coordinator

I found a description:

"The robot vacuum cleaner cleans rooms very carefully. This is achieved through the use of new models of virtual walls, created using the" LightHouse "technology. They emit invisible infrared rays that help the robot vacuum cleaner to avoid obstacles and define the boundaries of the room."

Thank you so much

It began to seem that Rumba was not cleaning very thoroughly ... She took a screwdriver and screwed everything she could ... She was able to screw off the propeller and the upper black plate ... The screws in the black plate did not completely screw off the screws ... but she took off ... below the screws are very small ...

So I sit and think ... This is protection from idiots like me or looking for a small screwdriver ...

It also cleans worse for me. I see two reasons. It is necessary to change the brushes (I have already changed the filter) and I began to be lazy and start it less often, but it cannot cope with a large amount of dirt.

Good day everyone! Here I read, read and the identity well, sooooo wanted such a helper !!!! I have a house on the first floor -140 squares, and the second, respectively. I called in, they advised me 625 model cost 33400 rubles. So, in connection with this, the question is for more experienced ones, do I need one, or is something simpler the identity suitable? Of course, it's easier for me so as not to bother with all sorts of recharging during cleaning - I simply don't have time for this (three children, two of them are small, and soon a fourth will be born))). I would like to turn it on and go for a walk, but come and already cleanaaaa !!!!!!!!!! Or is it just a dream?

and another option - it is not necessary to arrange cleaning with Rumba everywhere at once? as it gets dirty. that is, it works every day, but in different rooms ... and so in a circle - and it will always be clean everywhere

and another option - it is not necessary to arrange cleaning with Rumba everywhere at once? as it gets dirty. that is, it works every day, but in different rooms ... and so in a circle - and it will always be clean everywhere

And then, of course, it is not at all necessary to buy an expensive Professional (625th).

Oh girls, thank you for being so fast from the veta !!!!!!!!!!!!! I’ve already read it and decided that I had a scuba over ot)))))))))))). Already get out so get out !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now I will refine my hubby)))) I look forward to his return today, here he will be a surprise. And if not 625 then what is it? Excuse me for being intelligent, like reading, reading ...

and my rumba "ate antennae" in six months
Or is this their normal life? Floors: laminate, parquet and carpets in places.
And who changes them how often? There were 2 spare ones in the kit. Today I have already replaced one.

And my battery is slowly closing ...

Girls with Rumba 505? Mine is only one year old. Previously, the charge was enough for almost cleaning the entire apartment, but now only for 1 room. Is it that the battery already needs to be changed or something else?

I have the same song, it works for 23 minutes and says, charge the rumba. I bought it in February 2011. I have it from America, so I think I’ll just run it in every room, I’ll still do something in the house, but for now he fidgets. I noticed that I worked longer after the vacation, when I disconnected the batteries, worked for about an hour, then 40 minutes, now 23 minutes. I also noticed that when you clean after each cleaning it works longer, I have a lot of hairy people in the house, when they wind on the brushes, more energy goes away. Yes, I have Rumba 560.

Batteries for robots must be constantly recharged,
and discharge completely during operation.If they are not fully discharged, then the internal memory will charge the battery as far as it is discharged, each time less and less ...

and my song is even sadder. discharges almost instantly after launch, the robot is about a year and a half, model 505. It's probably time to change the battery

I have 2 cats and a parrot, well, they themselves are not bald yet, so I also clean them after each cleaning.

It is constantly being recharged and discharged completely. I looked at the warranty - 1 year. So that soon you will have to buy a new battery

All these are the disadvantages of a robot with a base. The vacuum cleaner goes to the base as soon as it finishes working, and not only when it is completely discharged. From the constant recharging of an incompletely discharged battery, its capacity drops, and it starts to work less and less. The result is that the batteries need to be changed more often. The manufacturer has a double benefit: the price of a vacuum cleaner with a base is higher, and the battery also needs to be changed more often.

I have 505, no base

1 year warranty, not an indicator. On my Scooba, the battery worked
3 years before replacement, subject to the above.
But Scooba, no base, was draining the battery completely ...

Good night everyone ripe before buying a rumba after repairing and laying an almost white floor, I think to take a simpler model - I looked at 521 or 531 models on the site (I did not understand the difference). apartment 40 meters and tiles everywhere. however, on the same amazon.com the price is 2 times less ... what is the cost of buying abroad? those who bought so - how do you have a guarantee in case of breakdown, for example? I also read about the difference regarding electricity in sockets - in our country and in America, etc. thank you in advance! a matter of principle, maybe the price of the issue ...

Buying abroad will result in additional costs for delivery, customs clearance and purchase of a transformer. Plus no guarantee. But if, despite the above costs, it comes out much cheaper, then you can take the risk.

T-t-t, I was very lucky, neither Rumba nor Scuba, bought in the USA, needed a guarantee. Although, of course, there was a guarantee for them, but I would not use it in the event of a breakdown. Even with the delivery and customs clearance included in the price, the purchase was much cheaper. Transformers are also everywhere now, small and inexpensive.

that is, if it's broken, then you need to send it to America for your money? or for your own to carry for repairs here ... for customs clearance, is it generally how labor-intensive? I have never bought anything over the Internet abroad
