About robotic vacuum cleaners. Rumba or Scuba?

[z_alice]

Yes, this can only be written by an envious person owner! Not a single truthful argument! A shame!

z_alicewhy a shame? What made you so upset? I'm not an envious person, but a rumbo-scuba owner with the longest experience, but I agree with what was written. In addition, Andrey's post was written back in 2008.

Yes, this can only be written by an envious person owner! Not a single truthful argument! A shame!

Why not a single truthful argument?
Does the rumba clean the corners? Does it have the same power as a normal vacuum cleaner? Will he crawl under low furniture? That he will remove the baseboards and curly legs from furniture, like mine? NO!

For a long time I doubted whether to buy or not to buy, and came to the conclusion that in my case the game was not worth the candle and bought a good and powerful Dyson vertical parking vacuum cleaner, for the same money as a rumba, only it has more opportunities.

And I have no envy of you "rumbowners", I just really looked at the device
And the rumbic is good to hold like a broom for every day, no matter how much you write that it collects dust - collects, but does not suck out powerfully! For these purposes and high-quality cleaning, it would also be nice to have a good vacuum cleaner

The principle of operation of robots is not based on maximum suction power, but on the interaction of a turbo brush and a suction motor. Yes, it may not be able to cope with carpets with long or dense pile, but on a smooth surface and light rugs it will be no worse than usual - there is no particular need for suction power.

Yes, he will not climb everywhere, for this he really needs an ordinary dust - a robot is not a full replacement for him ... but in open spaces it does not even help badly.

But it is also important for me in the work of our robots, that they are independent! Very handy frees when, well, there is absolutely no time for cleaning!
With carpets, I have such a situation - in the living room there is a large carpet of six by four, made of viscose with silk (well, something like that) - it looks great, fresh, but as I push, I have a whole container of fine dust and sand , but it doesn't seem to be visible
So power is not * our everything! * 8) We, in general, and so are doing well!
Well, about the corners, of course, yes! Well, probably, such a unit has not yet been invented that would combine solid advantages)
We are waiting for this!

I still have a question.
Do they keep all their vacuum cleaners on charge?
This week, it turned out that I did not start the robots for 5 days, as a result, the land was completely discharged, the scuba worked out an incomplete water tank and that withered away ... But I am somehow not ready to keep them on charge constantly. Can batteries be pulled out when not in use?

This is clearly stated in all instructions.Rumba can have only two positions: either it is cleaning, or it is standing on the included base. Only if for a long period (several months) you cannot provide charging, you need to remove the battery from Rumba. But although it is simple, but rather tedious to twist 5 screws - you won't do it every day

People!!!! Please tell me which is better to buy? Scuba or Rumba. I'm starting to dream ...

Only in the rooms I have carpets.

Better yet, Rumba + Mint. The duo is efficient, inexpensive and very easy to maintain

This is clearly stated in all instructions. Rumba can have only two positions: either it is cleaning, or it is standing on the included base. Only if you cannot provide charging for a long period (several months), it is necessary to remove the battery from Rumba. But although it is simple, it is rather boring to twist 5 screws - you will not do it every day

So you don't need to twist them every day, if you need to leave them for several months
+5 screws in 500 and 600 series, and in 700 - 2 pcs, especially for the battery compartment

I am very happy with the purchase, I live alone. The programmer, so in the bachelor monastery, cleaning is rare and often it was possible to fix dust in the corners. I chose from Rumba, Samsung and Panda, because they are the only ones who are controlled not only by China. As a result, I decided not to spend too much, and took the original A320 model Panda. I am very pleased with the vacuum cleaner, there is nothing to complain about, he drives into a thick carpet, he was afraid that he would not drive in. Now it is always clean at home, although according to the schedule I set it up for cleaning 2 times a week. I am ready to recommend. There is no point in overpaying IMHO.

There is no point in overpaying IMHO.

... um, to draw such conclusions, you need to be a user of all three models ... IMHO.

How long have you had it?

Half year already.

I agree, my friend has Rumba 564, now I even called and asked him around in all respects. He said that the rumba in his wires periodically gets stuck, but I never, so then ... I really can't say about Alji.

rumba in his wires periodically gets stuck

So maybe he just doesn't remove them?

He said that the rumba in his wires periodically gets stuck, but I never, so then ...

And I never have any of my Rumba stuck in the wires. And I didn't get stuck. Guess why?

And I never have one of my Rumba stuck in the wires. And I didn't get stuck. Guess why?

Why?

My husband was against Rumba. Says: "What if he finds something valuable on the floor and eats it"
So for 2.5 years, not a single value has disappeared from the house. And the reason is probably the same as that of the Hairpin

I also have an independent one, it will get out everywhere

One night a thief climbed into Khoja's home. The wife woke up and began to push Hodja aside.
“Pray that he finds at least something in our house,” Hodja muttered, turning over on the other side, “and it won't be so difficult to take it away from him ...

My husband was against Rumba. Says: "What if he finds something valuable on the floor and eats it?"

Well ... actually ... on the last New Year's Day, the 5th generation Rumba almost ate my Christmas tree garland ...

Here is how it was. Well, I go into the room where the Christmas tree is, and Rumb is chewing on the garland, and since it is half attached to the top of the tree, it is already half hanging on the tree ...

She turned off the garland and cut it off with scissors ... I took it out of Rumba ... Then I bought a new garland ... cheaper than a new Rumba ...

Can you please tell me if it is worth buying Rumba 650? Or is the Rumba 630 not much different? I read that he and the other work for 2 hours.
And another question: it turns out, if you leave for 1-2 months, is it better to leave Rumbik on charge?

Good day! I want to buy Rumba 780, or rather, at first I wanted 650, but after surfing online stores, I found a newer 780 for $ 640. I called and asked why the price was such, they said "European assembly, for third world countries" ... Can you please tell me, does the European model differ from the original in quality?

So Roomba 780 costs $ 599.99 in America ...
New, Roomba 790 - $ 699.99 ...

So Roomba 780 costs $ 599.99 in America ...
New, Roomba 790 - $ 699.99 ...

Well, and? .. It also puzzled me, that's why I'm asking - does the quality of the European assembly differ from the US one, which costs from $ 800?

What is "European assembly" is not entirely clear Rumba and scuba are Chinese assembly. There is an adaptation to Europe and America because the voltage in the electrical network is different. I have a scuba for the states and a rumbic 770 for europe. I did not notice the difference in the assembly

Secondly, this is exactly what - adaptation to Europe - I wanted to say (albeit very clumsily). I was interested in whether this fact influenced the quality, because apart from the price, even the warranty periods are different for them - the USA - 2 years, Europe - 1 year.
Thanks for the answer . How long have you been using Rumba?

Help with the choice.
Finally ripe for buying robotic vacuum cleaners and robots for cleaning floors.
With money, as always strained, but it will hardly be better.
I choose here
🔗robot vacuum cleaners.asp
If there is somewhere cheaper, I will be glad to have a link.
As far as I understand from what I have read, the best are Rumba and Scuba.
I want to buy Rumba from the 700 series, 760,770,780 (the toad crushes). Or maybe the 500 or 600 series will do?
Tell me, will they really be much better at work? There is a very wide range of prices.
Ditto with Scuba Series 230 and 390.
What are the differences between these series? Collation? Work better? Or something else?
What to look for when buying?
I'm waiting for advice.

I've been using Rumbik for a little over a year, and scuba for a little more than two. The flight is normal, nothing broke. I can't even imagine how I lived without them

Lyi, I also took on this site, I could not find a better offer. As far as I know, in scubes there is really no fundamental difference in working by series. But in rumbics in each model something new appears. The summary table of characteristics helped me in my choice, it is easier to evaluate what is important and choose a model

question to you, I somehow began to doubt the need for scuba. I can walk faster with a mop after a rumba. Although, I certainly understand that the point here is not in speed, but in the fact that the whole process takes place without you. Is your area large? Something seems to me that in a small apartment there is no need for a scuba. Moreover, for a rumba, such a question is not worth it - it is always needed here without options.

shl. although there are legends about the quality of scuba cleaning (it washes the seams on the tiles - it's relevant to me)

zyzy. I understood from your post that you first had a scuba, and then a broom-rumba.

balabolka!
Where can I get this sign? Make up yourself? Or is it somewhere ready-made?
I am a humanist, with technique
And then again: If we take both at once, then I am overstepping $ 1000 or is it impossible to step over 1000 Euros without tax?

[Lyi]

Lyi, these topics here on robots on the site. Review and you have it all cleared up. A cool rumba is not needed. You can get by with the simplest one. The only thing is, if you need to clean rooms that are not separated by large or tricky doors, then you need either beacons or virtual walls.

IRR, to be honest, I'm glad I was the first to buy a scuba.Because after buying rumba, I began to use it less often and I don't know if I would buy it now. I clean it with a Rumbik daily, and once a week with a scuba. Yes, it washes the floors well, and the tiles are just amazing, but after that you still need to wipe the baseboards, and once a week it's not critical to wash it yourself.But I have friends who wash the floors every day, and are very happy with the scuba. In general, my opinion is this: if you often wash floors or have free money, then you should take a scuba. It's like with multicooker - the more the better. There are no many robots, and without them I feel like no hands

Lyi, the sign is already on the Russian site, there is even such a menu item on the main page "Comparison of robots"

Thanks for answers . Already ordered Rumba 780, it will be in 10-14 days.
Dust irritates me, if there are "kulmaks" on the floor, I become angry and very irritable. My men (two men + two cats) are not very neat, so my day starts with cleaning, as a result - in the morning I can't go anywhere! Therefore, I want an assistant so that I only have to walk with a mop - I will not give this to anyone, especially since the mop is good - from the "White Cat", no stains on the laminate or on the tiles! So, I'm unlikely to buy Scuba, although ... who knows ...

balabolka !
Thank you very much for the site with the comparison plate.
Thanks to her, I came to the conclusion that it makes no sense for me to buy 760 Rumba, but you can buy 630. The difference in price is almost 4 thousand rubles, and, in my unsophisticated opinion, only touch control is technically added, which is insignificant for me.
Or are there any other differences? Techies, tell me!
But how to decide on a Scuba? I would also like to take not 390, but 230. There is a difference in the price of 5 thousand rubles, but what is added and how much do I need it?
I really look forward to hints. Please respond.

I studied this question. No and no again. 230 washes the declared 10 (or 14) meters of the toilet and no more. The Americans are great in this respect, they make very targeted devices. And this 230 charges after a very long time. That is, an area of ​​50 squares can be washed with it for 3 days. This and he is tall, will not fit under furniture, sofas, etc. cracks. Have scarecrows ours is just like that, to a normal scuba in a pair and just for 00. And one more thing, he has brushes that rub differently from the scuba 390, in the scuba they really rub, but here they just crawl. I chuchu tortured her dealer and hesitated, wanted to save money, but

As a longtime Scooba 360 user, I would not recommend going for the 230.
In addition to what IRRRR wrote, 230 is more in height and will not crawl under any furniture ...

[Irrochka, Pakat]

Irrochka, Pakat, thanks for your advice!
So you won't be able to save money on Scuba. Well, is Scuba 390 not bad at all?
And with Rumba, I correctly decided, instead of 760, take 630? Or have I left out something here too?

Lyi, the most important thing, in my opinion, is that the 7th series has a more powerful battery and a Nera filter that traps various microparticles. This is especially true if there are dust allergy sufferers. But the rest of the differences, such as the presence of a remote control, are not significant. And the Scuba 230 was really designed for cleaning the bathrooms. The Scuba 390 is a great choice!

There are more differences and they are not so obvious. I would advise you to read the next topic from page 54. There Robo-Cop laid out everything in detail in order to imagine what is needed and what is not.

you here

k.alena, ATP quickly found on your tip. yes yes there Robokopchik such our favorite.

it seems that the battery is the same for all points.

They told me so about the battery, because the 7th series can remove more area ... Probably they just use it more economically, I apologize

Thank you, I went to read all 54 pages

Thank you, I went to read all 54 pages

apparently 2 times in a row went to read
I sometimes also re-read this topic. And when I bought it, I read the hardware, and brought the dust home, and as with a child from the hospital I did not know what to do, I was confused well, the native forum helped

shl. although there are legends about the quality of scuba cleaning (it washes the seams on the tiles - it's relevant to me)

For more than a year now, I have been washing my floors with Scuba, but she doesn't wash my seams at all. Either it washes the wrong way, or the Scuba is wrong ........
And technically this is not possible if the seams are below the level of the tile. Scuba's brush doesn't reach them just then. Perhaps if the seams are flush with the tiles, then they will be washed out by the robot.
Before buying a robot, I also paid attention to the rave reviews about the washed seams on the tiles. But Scuba doesn't do it for me ...

if it's so easy to fix: girl-th: redo the seams and that's it

It's not clear what you are talking about .....?

It's not clear what you are talking about .....?

Seams are grout and can be easily applied between tiles. IT can be removed and a new one applied! Very simple. If the grout is wiped off or was initially applied sparingly, then it does not fill the seam, of course, to the end. This can be fixed - remove the old one and apply a new one))
In any case, in my kitchen, Scuba (I rented it for a test, so to speak) cleaned up quite adequately, even more, I hardly clean with a good mop now.
Although, if you specially clean the seams with a powder brush, it is still perfect with your hands.

Oh, what are you talking about ..... I solved the problem of putting in order the inter-tile joints on the tiled floor by purchasing a steam generator. Gorgeous washes what Scuba didn't! But that's another topic....
