Rumba - robot vacuum cleaner for dry cleaning

Thank you very much for the quick response. OK ! I'll try to experiment tomorrow and write in detail how the movement occurs. That's about 5 months - you need to remove the battery, and of course turn off the base - did I understand correctly?

[zhu-zhu]

zhu-zhu, about 5 months, yes, it's worth taking it off and turning it off, but you don't have to turn it off, let it be worth it and always ready, he eats little electricity, he will eat 50-70 rubles for six months without work.

Sergei, I'm shocked ........ My Nyusha ...... behaves like a true woman (this is about a robot).

1 Distance 1 meter facing the base - everything is fine. In front of the base, the course slows down, Nyusha climbs onto the base and if the base does not move, recharging begins (for some reason, the base sometimes starts to slide). There is a base on the parquet at the baseboard. Skirting board at an angle. The place under the piano is always dusty. Around Nyusha he sweeps everything, but dust apparently remains behind the base and maybe it slips because of this ?!

2 Face from the base 1 meter. Nyusha strictly walks a few meters from the base (4 meters) sometimes suspiciously changes the angle (as if to turn or not) but stubbornly stomps from the base in the opposite direction - turns around under the TV (in principle, there is already nowhere to go) but not clearly, but only by 90 degrees, but here I’m not empty, but the wires, rests against them and already unfolds - it continues to search sometimes turns to the right. A complete impression of disorientation is created (distance 4 meters), but gradually, bypassing obstacles - (there is already a piano leg) creeps to the base. The distance from the base to the piano foot is about 2 meters. Of course, the base is not directly on the course from the leg and you can drive on a straight line without touching it, but this turn that it does under the TV slightly shifts the trajectory. Already under the piano one feels that he knows where to go - this is a radius of 2 meters. It took 3 minutes in total. I checked the dustiness of my eyes - everything is ok. Lives with us for only 2 months.

Perhaps the name should be changed to a masculine one. but, obviously, does not pull. Or is this normal behavior, and I'm a suspicious mother ?!

I changed the side brush to the original one (for some reason it came without a self-tapping screw) and it did not help, it flies more and more often. I had to get out for now without the help of a robot. So, after all, the fact is that the hole for the self-tapping screw is worn out. Do you have to change this whole unit, along with the motor?

[zhu-zhu]

zhu-zhu,
Judging by your descriptions, the sensor in the robot's turret does not work, or it does not work well, or you are trying in bright sunlight, just in case, put it 50 cm from the base in the direction from the base and also press Dock, describe what happened.
Check for robot-level mirrors or shiny surfaces.
The displacement of the base usually depends on the front roller and the cleanliness of the contacts of the robot and the base, it is worth wiping them periodically, the 8xx series is prone to overheating of the contacts and their falling inside the robot and this, alas, is not a guarantee case, look after the contacts.

ludmila_27.79, you will have to change this entire unit along with the motor, it is still with the officials for 1000r. does your brush snap onto the module?

No, the brush is only screwed on with a self-tapping screw and that's it. This block is more expensive here 30 euros.

[Medtech]

Medtech, thanks, I'll check.
lacquered black piano legs and gilded casters - isn't it mirror-like?
the sensor in the robot's turret is such a round plastic like a nose, which?

everything, checked - at 50m. Nyusha made a few steps, then such a huge turn to the left and ... hitting slightly on the lamp leg, persistently continued her way to the base, successfully parked.

But before that, I thoroughly cleared all her eyes and ...nose (just in case!)

But before that, I thoroughly cleaned all her eyes and .... nose (just in case!)

And the whole thing turned out to be a runny nose.

[zhu-zhu]

zhu-zhu, we can say that the turret on the bumper of the robot does not really see the base, usually from one and a half meters it notices it if it drives by, in your situation it does not notice it from a meter away from its back, but it sees being 50cm away, it is worth wiping the black window on the base under the same turret.
A final clarification, at what distance does the robot slow down in front of the base and the parking lot?

I would like to share information. After 2 (or 3, I don't remember exactly) years of using Rumba, the charge was enough for 40-45 minutes, I decided that the battery life, alas, was coming to an end. To pay 6 tr (and this is how much they cost new branded ones in our city) the toad strangled, so I turned to Aliexpress (there was 0 shopping experience there)). I ordered at my own peril and risk from a seller with not a very large number of orders and reviews (however, it should be noted that the reviews are extremely positive and now there are much more of them). The order came in 3 weeks, I paid for something about 2.5 tr, now for cleaning a 63-meter apartment the charge indicator does not have time to change color from green, it takes an average of 1.5 hours. As a test, I isolated the base, the vacuum cleaner went for more than 3 (!!!) hours, I vacuumed the apartment until the holes)) and then I took pity on him and opened the way to the base, where he drove himself. Melasta battery, if anyone is interested I can throw a link)

[Oksyusha]

Oksyusha, Excellent battery, in a year we will find out whether you won or lost.

Why a year later? Is there something wrong with the battery or with the vacuum cleaner itself? For a month of use, everything is fine ...

[Oksyusha]

Oksyusha, good day!
Please throw off the link to the battery, at the 6th year of cleaning the battery began to die .. it is necessary to change (

[Oksyusha]

Oksyusha, link please

My husband reprimanded me for Ali, at work the employees ordered-they say by weight in Ali batteries are lighter than the original ones for both rumba and scuba + some of the contacts are moving away. I ordered an original high-capacity battery + add. dust collector from 600 rumba. I'll try it out today)

akazala original high capacity battery

Where and for how much?

Where and for how much?

I join ...

Iqrobots. ** replace asterisks with ru.
Delivery in Moscow time on the day of order is free, everything is decorous, there is a test drive.
High capacity 5500 battery.
Dirt collector from 6xx-1600.
After replacement, it rushes around the house like a stung - I'm happy like an elephant)))

Yes, original parts are much better than Chinese ones! Before that, I had a Chinese filter and it quickly broke and, moreover, it had to be cleaned with a brush every time, otherwise the dust would not be shaken out from there. And now I bought a filter from Ayrobot and everything is fine, you just pour out the dust from the dust collector after cleaning and that's it, the filter is clean!

here I can recommend a lithium-ion battery from an unknown manufacturer, you can of course buy from an irobot, you can on Ali, you can here
🔗 quite a decent lithium battery with good-quality cells, a good discharge charge controller, a one-year warranty, sold by my friend from the forums from Lipetsk, he sent me something for testing, as a result, many samples were rejected, and this good one, offered me to sell them too, but to me closer repair.

I did not notice the difference between the weight of the original battery and with Ali ... but how much does the original weigh? Ordered on Ali is about 820 grams. And, yes, while running and I'm happy as an elephant). There are many sellers on Ali and their product is different.

Please tell me if you order a side helicopter brush for Rumba, does it come with a cog or just one brush? I lost the screw from the helicopter, I lost it myself, or rather threw it away. She cleaned the rumba, unscrewed it, put it on the table, someone came, got distracted, then forgot about Rumba altogether, then wiped the table and threw everything out, took out the trash. In the evening I missed it, and the rumba without a helicopter and a cog went into the trash.
The question is what to do? Can I order a helicopter with a cog? Can you pick up a screw?

[Chamomile1]

Chamomile1When you order, look for them with a screw, usually at least 3 pieces. they sell, but you can also pick it up, although it is not very common, it all depends on the quantity from whom you will choose. Fuck these old screws

[Medtech]

Medtech, Thank you so much! Does Ali have that? I haven't mastered it yet.

[Oksyusha]

Oksyusha, and me a link pliz!
The parents do not have a battery at the rumba at all, and ours has become enough for 40 minutes and he has no strength to return to the base. Where he stopped, there he remains.
But for 6-7 years they honestly worked on their own battery.

Hello! At first I wanted to buy an inexpensive robot, up to 15-18 thousand rubles, but after rereading a lot of information on different sites, heeding the advice of Medtech, I bought Rumba 776. There were questions ... He carefully cleans the rooms separately, but when I opened all the doors and decided In one fell swoop make him tidy up everywhere (3 rooms, a corridor and a kitchen - 48 sq. m), he got lazy ..., run through a couple of rooms and try to escape to the base to sleep, what is it?

Place lighthouses in every room to clean them thoroughly.

[ludmila_27.79]

ludmila_27.79, price from 1700 to 2200 rubles. for each ..., it's there.

Well yes. Wasn't it included?

[ludmila_27.79]

ludmila_27.79, was not, only limiters 2 pcs. (wall and circle)

Then you can turn off the base and let the robot clean up until the battery is completely discharged.

[ludmila_27.79]

ludmila_27.79, I also think about it, but I'm leaving for a week, I will instruct my half to observe. It is written in the instructions that he remembers the situation ..., I have a suspicion that after one-time cleaning of one room, he becomes dull, that there are a lot of them suddenly and falls into someone to clean for the same volts and currents, not every cleaner will agree ...

[Zigor]

Zigor, reset the "brains" of your robot. For prevention.

[Zigor]

Zigor, The easiest way to reset the rumba is by holding down the Wedge button for 10-15 seconds or by removing the battery for the same time, but the rumba does not remember the situation, this is a random robot, for him every cleaning is the first. It is worth cleaning the bumper from the inside and the proximity sensors, to check the battery it is worth starting the robot from the base, and after turning it off or hiding it, the robot will work until it is completely discharged, this time should be noted and reported.
After stopping the robot, be sure to charge it.

Thanks everyone! I'll give you an order.

I have Rumba for 3 years already - I am happy, I can even say, happy! I don’t know why, but Fedya named him It's hard to believe and my son says that these are just coincidences, but Fedya reacts to my voice ... At first it was scary for me when, in response to “Fedya, come back, you didn't clean here at all ! " he stopped for a second and, turning 180 degrees, drove towards me with a direct fire, although I had just caught him on the doorstep when he was trying to escape! Now I’ve got used to it and I can call him from another room ... sometimes, like any LIVING creature, he doesn’t obey. 2-3 times disassembled and assembled and nothing! I got upset, I contacted my husband on Skype (he was abroad) and the best thing he could advise me was to buy a new robot. I burst into tears, said that I didn't need another, I got used to Fedya, then I went up to the robot, wiped it again, accompanying everything with lamentations, and pressed the button ... it worked, as if nothing had happened ... I understand that it sounds like crazy raving, but I'm not crazy !!! I just have a special relationship with technology - I treat it like a living being and love it. About 10 years ago, my still Soviet mixer was sentenced "he worked his way" - he is still alive, although he already has several assistants, including the fancy Kenwood, but HE is a favorite! And there was also this: I wanted instead of my washing machine for 5 kg., A big one - 8. We then went shopping, looking for a good freezer, I saw an 8-kg washing machine and got sick, although mine worked flawlessly for about 5 years! We arrived home, I started a quick wash and started moaning "I want a big washing machine, buy, buy ... etc." Suddenly, my typewriter began to rotate the program selection knob on its own without stopping, the machine was shaking from program changes ... it was so scary! I had to pull it out of the socket. The master said (literally) "the state is good, the brains flew." When I told him my story, he smiled and said, "well, probably offended."
In general, I love my Fedya very much and I can’t imagine life without him, and all thanks to this Temka - her owner and the happy owners of Rumba, who are not greedy and share information and impressions! Thank you very much!!!

[Guylechka]

Guylechka, and all the best to you, do not forget to pamper the robot and clean it with a large vacuum cleaner more often, there will be less dust to carry with you, it is also worth unscrewing the lower cover and unscrewing 10 screws of the lower bumper cover and clean the bumper from the inside and everything under the bumper from dust, be careful so that do not tear off the three wires to the bumper pip, it can be unscrewed before cleaning.

Good day! Sergey, help me with choosing a robot. I have been reading the forum for a long time, during this time some models have already ceased to be released))) Here are my answers to your 10 questions:
1. The area of ​​the apartment? 70 sq. m
2. Number of rooms? 3 + large entrance hall
3. Size of the largest room or combined space? 25sq. m
4. The composition of the coatings? laminate, linoleum, carpet in one room (still Soviet, the pile is small as I understand it)
5. The presence of animals and which ones? German Shepherd
6. The presence of long-haired with a hair length of more than 25cm? I
7. Who will service the robot (clean, empty the bin, watch)? Me or husband
8. How do you imagine the work of a robot? Most likely to kill each room separately. High thresholds, I doubt that I will be able to overcome them myself - I will need to endure
9. Are you ready to adjust the apartment for robotic cleaning? I know about cleaning cables from his path. but here they are all hidden
10. Budget? [/ Quote] preferably 25-30 thousand, max 35

Sorry for duplicate message ...

[Volha]

VolhaRoom cleaning, it is worth clarifying the height of the thresholds, any rumba, in my opinion, is quite the simplest, 6xx series, half an hour for each room daily or as it gets dirty to your taste.

[Sergei]

Sergei, I have a base for charging Rumba when plugged into the network a little buzzing. This not normal? I didn't seem to notice before. Charging is in progress, the robot sees the base and stands on it himself, but these sounds bother me.

[Belka13]

Belka13Well, yes, it happens, and howling in time with the blinking of the Wedge button, resembles a siren, electrolytes on the robot's board at 5V are hooked, it is advisable to replace it, the quality of components is adjusted to the warranty period, alas - a global trend.

I bought it in April. The warranty has not yet expired. Is there a hope that they will replace it under warranty?

[Anna]

My son put a battery in Rumba for me. Charging.

Anna, why not brag about how Rumba works with a new battery?

I started up 1 time in total during this time after fully charging. Finished cleaning, but the green light continued to burn. Day 3 stood without a base. Now I pressed the button - green is on, and I drove off. So that

Day 3 stood without a base.

How without a base? Why?

How without a base? Why?

Because I have a collective farm charger made from a laptop power supply. It is at 110v, when it was first turned on through a transformer, the charge burned out. So an acquaintance gave me a shot. And, if you constantly keep on the base, the charging error pops up.

Sergey good afternoon!
Help with the choice please, you chose 2 years ago, but the purchase did not work out, now they have returned to this question again, but those models are no longer selling))
1.the total area is about 90 sq m
2. Rooms 3 and a large corridor
3. The largest room is 21 sq m
4.Laminate flooring, cork floor and tiles at the entrance, no carpets, there is a small children's rug
5. Cat
6. Me and a daughter with long hair
7. Husband, son, me, mostly husband
8. Launched in view and forgot))
9.Yes, the child was warned about the toys, no wires
10. Budget up to 40 thousand, it is desirable to keep within 30 kopecks
Choose between 865 and 886
and another question: only Ayrobot is official in Moscow. RU? they only have 886 in stock

[Medtech]

Medtech and other members of the forum, tell me. I want to buy Ayrobot Braava. I live in Spain and here it is very expensive, 400 euros.Therefore, I want to buy in Moscow from the officials for 260 euros or on the eBay website for 280 euros with shipping. In Moscow, my friends can buy and bring me Braavu, there is a guarantee, only if something happens, then I have to take it to Russia. I have never ordered anything on eBay, there is no detailed description of the product and configuration and nothing is written about the guarantee, it is only written that the product is new and the seller is in Spain. I don’t know where to buy.
Who bought from irobot in Moscow - their normal robots do not break? And also who ordered the equipment on eBay had no problems?

[Anna1957]

Anna1957, An, you still try it to its fullest, how long will it work from a new battery ... I wonder.

[ludmila_27.79]

ludmila_27.79, buy at. Ask your friends to go to st. Rowanberry, you can buy there and immediately test it in the service center. If hidden defects are found, they can be changed immediately. But this is not an official service, you have to ask to test it.
