iRobot Scooba - robot vacuum cleaner for wet cleaning

The seller replied that the difference in models is exclusive to the duration of the robot's operation on a single battery charge. In principle, I can't say anything - it works for a full 2 ​​hours and produces 2 tanks of detergent.

But I am still confused by the fact that it produces sock regardless of the surface area ... That is, it also washes a small area until the product is completely used up ...
I don’t know - maybe my floor is just so dirty that he thinks that he still needs to wash and wash it?

I report the situation, I threw 19 meters into the room, soaps until the water ran out. She poured more water into the corridor. My corridor is 3.5-4 meters. It costs nothing at all. Washed for a long time until the battery ran out. I talked with Marina, said to bring it for testing.

Boo-boo, well, here it washes for me according to the same principle :) So I will wait for what the service men will tell you ...

Guys, how often do you launch your robots? At first, every day I launched an overland one - one day in the rooms, the next - the kitchen / corridor / bathrooms. But why is that sick of it :) I think maybe less often?

BooBoo, here's an excerpt from the scuba instructions I downloaded from the net:
"Good to know: for smaller rooms, use less solution and water. This will shorten the operating time of the appliance."

In my opinion, this quite speaks for the fact that she washes the room until the water in the tank runs out. And it does not at all calculate the area of ​​the room and the time for cleaning it.

That is, apparently you can just give her some time to wash, and then transfer it to another room, having previously calculated how long the tank is enough for.
My tank works out in an hour.

[Neo]

About the Scuba algorithm. So yes, he washes all the way - regardless of the area of ​​the room. Fill in less water - does not help ("Check tank" swears). At first I was upset - I realized that I had bought too powerful (I have a model - 380). It could be bought cheaper with a smaller resource, with the expectation of cleaning the largest room.
I opened two adjacent rooms for him to wash - I didn’t like the result, somehow I didn’t even walk through them. At one time it was launched in every room, regardless of the area, for a full cycle. I get 6 rooms - that is, I turn on every day, and only after a week everything is in a circle.
And finally I have adapted! Yesterday, in one cycle, we managed to clean 2 20-meter rooms and a kitchen. I gave him 20 minutes to wash, then turned on the drying (ie, once again the "clean" button), dried faster. So the conclusions Neo

I came to pay you. My scuba is broken. For no apparent reason, she began to squeak an error and point to the wheels. We tried - for sure, one wheel rotates very tightly for some reason. Now take it to the service. Ugh...

[Scarecrow]

Scarecrow , Nata, look at the axles of the wheels, hair is wound around them, you can clean them with tweezers and scissors ...

The husband immediately looked, everything is clean, there is nothing, the wheel is not spinning.

Repaired my scuba. Replaced the left wheel block. Something has jammed there. The service was accepted without problems, no complaints about us. Everything was done quickly.

They brought it yesterday. Now it is not discharged into just one room (I don’t want to think bad about people, but it was enough for 2-3 rooms, it’s new). In addition, it now stops five times in one wash and requires to empty the container for dirty water (of course, it did not add water to the consumable container). I pour out dirty water in an amount of about 2 tbsp. l., turn on, it works for 10-15 minutes and again the same thing. 5 times for washing one room of 12 meters. For two days I was already bored.
A-a-a-a- !! Why am I so lucky! She got me. Moreover, it may well be that I just got such a successful copy, while the rest works fine. It's a shame to snot: I really like how he washes, and here is such an ambush.

Yesterday a friend brought her Scuba again. She doesn't want to work for her at home. (n) The same problem arises as I described earlier. She stayed with them for a week or two, I asked the owners to bring me to play. They brought it yesterday. They say: “Well, turn it on in front of us, see how it works for a few minutes and stops.” She poured water, wetted a black tube, started it. Washes ...: o Washes great. : o The owners are shocked, why doesn’t it work for them !!! : oI stopped her forcibly. She turned it on again, washes it, does not bug, no problem ...: o Turned it off again, turned it on, it worked without glitches. The owners are shocked. : o A friend said that if the scuba bugs it even once, they will give it to me (I refused, they themselves need it !!!!! More than me!). Her husband said that he would throw out the scuba from the 5th floor ... In general, I gave them the scuba in working order ... Whether it works at their home or not, they haven’t called yet .. So, Chuchelka, they also have problems with the scuba, and my friends subscribe to this phrase: "It's a shame to snot: I really like how he washes, but here is such an ambush."
And how to give it to the service - in their office the scuba will be as good as in my house. Send to the service by sending a parcel to Moscow-horrorsss ...

I turned on my Scuba in a small corridor. She spins in place and does not go anywhere. I moved her leg and moved, and simply substituted her leg so that she rested and changed direction. Nothing helps. I already thought everything had begun. And the reason for this behavior was very simple. The limiter was turned on and it stood a little crooked. She removed the limiter away and she drove off. So it is worth remembering that the limiter must be very precisely directed and the beam has a certain, let's say, thickness.

Scarecrow I contacted Marina. Here's what she said.

maybe her filter quickly becomes dirty, and not asks to drain the water
if not, we will pay all shipping costs, LET SEND AGAIN
no problem, we'll see everything, let him send
121471, Moscow, mountain ash, 61 A, Nordea LLC. Just let it ship by EMS

I have Scuba buggy, it always seems to her that she has no water

Today I took my Skuba to the guarantee. They did everything right in front of me. My tank was replaced under warranty. It also turned out that I had a hole in the mesh filter and the rubber tube was a little tinkered. I already had to buy it, consumables, 150 rubles each. While I was waiting for the test, I naturally tortured the master with all sorts of questions. Here's what I learned.
Scuba is dumber than Rumba. ))))
To avoid odor, you must dry the tank with the lids open. The robot can easily charge without it.
Once a month, rinse the dirty water tank with chlorine-containing products. Then rinse it thoroughly.
Wipe the tank after filling it with water and insert it strictly dry, the lower part of the robot is afraid of water.
The master immediately glued the new mesh filter around with glue. He said it was safer that way. It is necessary to ensure that there are no holes in the far corners. Visible to the light.
Monitor the condition of the rubber tube, she cut me on the nut.

If I remember anything else, I'll write. ))))

They told me the same thing, but we flushed the tank with domestos five times. So far, it is still buggy (constantly shouting that his container with dirty water is full). The foreman said that the sensor is dirty.

There seems to be one light on the lack of clean water and overflow. I also had it lit all the time. It turned out that mine does not supply clean water. I changed the container and that's it.

Musyanya, there is a water sensor. Maybe it sticks, but while they are carrying it, it comes off. Is the constraint the cause? I had it once, the beam hit the scuba and it circled in place. And remind the symptoms, do they have it spinning in place?

The story of my friend's scuba continues. Again she brought me a scuba for treatment.At home, the scuba stopped working for her in the same way as all the previous times. I took the scuba, poured water, wetted the black tube, put everything in place, started it up, the scuba started working ...
This story looks like a mockery ... Why doesn't she want to work for her? Why does it always work for me ??? Afraid that I will give an enema? We have something like Mashunya: smartass: Schumacher for enemas special ...

Dear owners of Skuba, tell me, what kind of floors do you have and do they deteriorate from the long "crunching" of the washing vacuum cleaner?

And then I think to have such a vacuum cleaner, but the seller says that the parquet board can be bad, and we also have a cork - it is definitely afraid of water.

How are you?

I have a cork everywhere and I wash my Scooby. The residual moisture from the Scuba is no more than from the mop. You mop the cork floor (or with a rag)? Now, if you pour a puddle on it and let it stand, it will swell. My two males ruined me all over. These two pigs are a real problem!

Good day! I recently bought a Scuba. The first two days I couldn't wash the floor. After the start of work, the vacuum cleaner switched to drying mode and after 5-10 minutes played its own melody, peeped and that's it ... I could not understand why he swears and does not wash the floor. I poured water exactly 1 liter (measured with a measuring glass) Then took it to the store. We launched it there. And it started to work fine. Arriving home, I again poured 1 liter of water. And he went back to drying mode. After that, I began to fill in water so that it poured out of the container, "to the eyeballs". Scuba works for me in each room for 40-45 minutes, regardless of size. And I put it in the next room after pouring out the dirty water and pouring clean. Otherwise, it only starts to dry again. Is this how it should be? Shouldn't the water run out? After all, at least 600 ml of water or solution remains there. This should be enough for one more cleaning cycle. Or am I wrong? Please respond, those who have had such a vacuum cleaner for a long time. Tell me, is it so with you? Or do I need to go to the sellers again?

silvery

Maybe you don't start the program again? It needs to be turned off and on again. If the pause key is pressed, and then transfer and continues to wash, it continues the entire started program. And if his business stopped at drying, he will dry instead of washing.

[Scarecrow]

Scarecrow
I move the switched off vacuum cleaner to another room and turn it on again. But if not a fraction of pure water, then it goes a couple of circles in a spiral and goes into drying mode. I really thought it should be so. But then I came to your forum and somewhere it flashed that someone is working until the water runs out. Here I was very surprised. And even registered in order to get an answer to my question
I will also try to contact their website with a question. Well, then I'll go to our store.

[silvery]

silveryScooba itself only stops two times, unless it gets stuck anywhere:
1. The solution in the tank is running out, when replacing the work continues.
2. The battery is running low and needs recharging.
Everything else, malfunctions, the board is on about them ...
Scooba batteries, enough for 2-2.5 tanks, try to transfer after the end of the solution and replacing it ...

So the fact of the matter is that my water does not run out. One room takes about 300-400 ml of water, because after the first cycle (cleaning one room), another 700 ml of water remains in the container. And with that many, my Scooba only dries the next room for five to ten minutes. And that's all. I poured out completely dirty water, cleaned the filter. But if you do not add water, then it will only dry

[silvery]

silveryHow do you determine that the room is washed and there is still water in the container?
Let Scooba work completely, in one room, until the water in the tank runs out, then change the water and run it in another room ...
Or let him wash both rooms at once, if they are nearby ...
By the way, who taught you that 1 liter of water is poured?
You pour in a glass of the product, or vinegar to measure, and without measuring the water until the tank is full, you also shake it to fill all the voids.

how do you determine that the room is washed and there is still water in the container?
Let Scooba work completely, in one room, until the water in the tank runs out, then change the water and run it in another room ...
Or let him wash both rooms at once, if they are nearby ...

So she stops, plays her melody, picks triumphantly. And the "dirty bucket" lights up. Then I turn it off. I take out the container. And it's full of water ...

[silvery]

silvery, in 40-50 minutes, Scooba, develops the entire tank with a solution, gives a signal to replace, pour out the dirty water, rinse, fill in a new tank of solution and again into battle.
If not, bring it to the workshop, let them check ...

[Pakat]

Pakat
This is not the case with me from the very beginning.
We'll have to carry. I would like everything to be good, in a human way. Rather Skubsky

Let Scooba work completely, in one room, until the water in the tank runs out, then change the water and run it in another room ...

And I always do that. I already know approximately how much water needs to be poured into each room and I never fill a full tank.

How much water do you fill? And how much minimum and maximum amount of water do you use?

If a full tank is 40 meters, then a quarter of the tank is needed for 10 meters.

[Erhan]

And Scuba, as far as I understood, is a capricious girl.

Erhan, well, I wouldn't say that ...
I have been using Scooba for more than three years, only the battery, changed this summer ...

Lucky you, but there are many more of us - really bored with scuba whims.

[Scarecrow]

Scarecrow, Nata, in order to get more profit, your traders are buying at a cheap price, any substandard, it will pass - well, no, they will exchange ...
Old, Russian, trading principle, you can't cheat, you can't sell ...

No, well, really got it. To wash without pouring out the container five times is unrealistic. This is awful. you need to stand over it, otherwise the floors will remain unwashed.

But I bought directly from the aerobot dealership. Do you think that there is some kind of crap for sale?

I have been using Scooba for more than three years, only the battery, changed this summer ...

And I also haven't changed the battery.

And I gave my Scooba for testing. Now I can't find a place for myself: who will wash the floors for me?

[Boo Boo]

Boo Boo! And if I have jambs, can I return it?

I do not know. But they will not be there right away, they are revealed in the process. )))))) You see, all the jambs are different, if there was one, like Cubes, for example, then your fears are understandable, and so ................... I don’t even know what to advise you, he washes so well, they don’t refuse repairs, so ........ in short, think for yourself

[Dopleta, Pakat, Bubu, Scarecrow, Musyan's girlfriend, Silver]

Well, I got through. She told it as it is. Marina said that there are two and a half cripples on our site of Scuba owners. Well, in principle, it is. We have scubists - Dopleta, Pakat, Bubu, Scarecrow, Musyan's girlfriend, Silver... Look like that's it. But here's what those who bought in the last year - Bubu, Scarecrow, Musyan's friend, Silver - everyone got acquainted with the service center.

According to Rudneva, the number of calls to the service is less than 1% of the total number of sales.

Marina said that in the event of a factory defect, the model is changed or refunded within a few hours.

Return Scuba within two weeks on the grounds that the color shade is not exactly what I expected. I'm used to returning things like that ...

Well, okay ... I was not ... If anything will be to blame Pakat in company with my aura !!!

[Boo Boo]

Boo BooMarina also said that you had problems because you misused it. And when you started using it correctly, your problems disappeared. So?

I did not leave the containers open when he was just standing, but there is nothing about this in the instructions and I do not think
that he therefore broke.

[Hairpin]

HairpinAfter testing, I was told that there was a problem with the water supply sensor. We do not have a service center in Arkhangelsk. It's just that the workers themselves check what they know. And if something does not work out, then they are sent to the central office. In my case, it turned out that the bottom, that is, his brains, is in order. And at the top there was some little thing junk.So they gave me the whole Scooba bottom and ordered a completely new top. Here I am waiting for him from day to day! They promised that a new one would come, packed. When it comes, I'll try it, then I'll tell you.

I didn’t leave open containers, I don’t think
that he therefore broke.

I don't think so either. In the worst case, the smell of standing water will appear. That is why, intuitively, I immediately began to leave them open.

Well, in general terms, if anyone has to take risks, then I am. They are in my reach. And I don't need the shipment, and unlike the regions, I can personally call in to them (preferably on a tank) and ask again:
- Dap-dap? !!!

If there is a jamb with my Skuba, then certainly it will be possible to score on the third generation and wait for the fourth ... For the regions - in particular ... A negative result is also a result ...

So, I am reporting:
A new cover for my Scooba arrived today. There was no sticker on the pens. But the impression is that the cover is new.
The containers don't smell Everything is very clean, no scratches.
I set to wash a small room, poured 250 ml of water. My scuba washed this room until the water ran out. This was unheard of with the last cover. In general, I now have a brilliant vacuum cleaner
I checked two more rooms - everything was just as brilliant !!! In the lobby, she was discharged. Tomorrow we will clean the first floor and start the second

You wrote to Boo that the filter was glued to you at the service center. What kind of glue, I wonder? I also want such a filter, reinforced. And another question: if you rinse the dirty water compartment with a chlorine-containing agent, for example, with domestos, in what proportion should it be diluted?

Well, they gave me Skuba !!! We decided that it would be easier to give it away than to explain for a few more hours that I needed to wait for the chimes to strike.
And the instructions say that the first time it should be charged for 12 hours ...
And if the green light is on with a frequency of 1 time per second, then you cannot touch it ... And if once every two seconds, then in two hours it will be ready ... But I have no timer ...

Well, in short, 10 minutes ago he stopped blinking ... So he is ready ... I'm ready too ... Chichas, I'll add the cake ...

Washes ... She said twice that she was stuck ... washes further ... (news from the front)

I raised all the furniture, if possible, 10 cm from the floor, for Scooba access, otherwise he also froze it several times ...

Well dried up ...
The report is dedicated to those who endure my nails ...

1. Well, I don’t regret buying ...
2. Stuck where Rumb does not get stuck. My doors do not close crooked jambs to the end. Well, he pokes into this slightly open door and squeaks "Stuck !!!" Rumb does not get stuck there.
3. He washed the kitchen (4.5 sq. M. With furniture and laminate in light green color), and reported that everything was cleaned.
4. The instructions say that it is not recommended for parquet floors made of natural wood. There is no such information on the site (!!!). I have oak parquet.
5. Launched it into the corridor (there is a dark oak parquet) ... Here I did not understand. He washed, washed, washed ... Well, two hours (2-3 sq. M.). I knocked him out. I gave him 1.5x1.5 sq. m. (at the entrance I threw the carpet back) ... Well, from these 1.5x1.5 I scrubbed for two hours, but ... what I didn't dry for sure ... That is, it gets stuck on the parquet ... .. At the same time he poked into the pulled up carpet and squeaked "I'm stuck !!!"
6. I can't understand what function it performs at the moment. It seems that he only washes on the floor ...
7. Rumb is much easier to use ...
8. The water from the dirty compartment is drained ... oooh oooh dirty ...

(to be continued)...

[aunt Besya]

Ahh ... Here's another thing. In the process of testing Scuba, I saw how well my skirting boards are ...

At first I wanted to post pictures, but ... well this aunt Besya will immediately retire, and immediately and forever ...

And then I drank I thought ... here at aunt Basie is there really a topic "Washing terribly neglected skirting boards for outsiders like Hairpins"? No! So who's to blame?" Hairpin? What is the name of the Indian hut? That's the same !!! Aunt Besya guilty !!! HOOKER !!! HERE !!!

1. Oh, I felt relieved, otherwise I was worried all over.
2. The scuba is higher than the rumba, so everything is correct.I didn't measure it on purpose, but I think so.
3. Was it clean?
4. Parquet, not parquet, the main thing here is that there are no cracks and that the covering on the parquet is good.
5. Scuba washes while there is water in the container, so either pour a little water or turn it off manually. Or rather, do not turn it off, but send it to dry. It will dry and turn itself off.
6. When washing, the green light is on, when it dries, it blinks.
7. Disagree, Scuba is easier to wash than to clean Rumba.
8. Water, yes, just horror.

[FRIENDS]

1. Washed perfectly !!!

2. Sensor Container lights up both when the container is finished and when cleaning is completed. How to tell what when? By the flashing light? Boom watch !!!

3. For me, cleaning Rumba is easier than Scuba, but ... time will tell ...

And the most important thing !!!

FRIENDS!!! May our problems be at the level of ours in the New Year 2011, with Fugasca, skirting boards. Do we have loving men? Healthy children? Are we full, warm, in our home? MEANS WE ARE HAPPY !!

Well, this is so ... for our mood !!!
