iRobot Scooba - robot vacuum cleaner for wet cleaning

2. The scuba is higher than the rumba, so everything is correct. I didn't measure it on purpose, but I think so.

It doesn't seem like it really is. Scooba has very low ground clearance so that it does not climb on carpets and rugs ...

4. Parquet, not parquet, the main thing here is that there are no cracks and that the covering on the parquet is good.

Due to its low ground clearance, the Scooba does not like uneven floors and can get stuck.

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.

It just needs more space for washing, then Scooba can wash before consuming the tank.

8. Water, yes, just horror.

If you wash it regularly and often, the water will not be so dirty ...

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.

Well, the meaning of this post has reached me. It turns out that I use it once every two weeks. Most often in the kitchen, which I have ... well, you know. I do not drain the water from the Klin container. And just like that I put him in the house.
I don't see the point of keeping the containers open. With this shape of the container, it still does not dry out, but refill every time ...
And how to store it with open containers? Disassembled? Then why oh why on me this house?
By the way, the house turned out to be very appropriate ... Then I'll post the pictures ... Someday ...

So, here I am going to swear at you. It is imperative to drain the water and keep the containers open too. You will see the meaning when it starts to stink, if you want to know in advance how, then put a wet rag in a bag and forget it for a couple of days. The smell will be the same. The containers contain sensors, well, something like floats. I think it is not useful for them to swim in the water all the time. Store, yes, strictly disassembled. The lower part is on charge, and the upper one with open garbage somewhere else. What kind of house is that?

[Hairpin]

Come on in two voices Hairpin swear! Here I am lazy! Drain her water! And remember how much fuss with an ordinary vacuum cleaner! And I keep mine like this - the open part is on top of the main one:

News from the front. Week two. The flight is normal.

And here is my Skubik in the house:



Well, here they are with Rumbik:

Ah-ah-ah .... Now I lost the pipe from Scuba !! But what kind of karma is this ... who? The owner? This Scuba?

As a fact, two rubber bands are absent: an inner tube, which gets out and one of the rubber bands in which the liquid collects from the bottom to the bottom. I just found it. Where have gone - I don’t know!

what kind of elastic band on the bottom?
nothing seems to be filmed there

Quite right. It just fell off ... Completely ...

You have no direct compatibility with the robot. ))))) When I was in the service, the master told me that these rubber bands do not like sills and tiles with deep seams (I forgot exactly what he said). And I have metal sills everywhere in the doors. Now I run it strictly in one room so that it does not cut into the sills. ))))

After the moderation, there was some lull in the topics about vacuum cleaners ... Just at least arrange a roll call

How are your Scoobs doing?

I'm OK. But I rarely use it ... Rumba is more popular ...

[Hairpin]

Hairpin , but will we live to see discounts on Scuba?
otherwise I don’t have it yet, but I was so lucky to buy rumba for a stock that I don’t want to buy it without a stock ...

And I, on the contrary, use more scuba. Even though we always have troubles with her. Large areas of tiled floors make themselves felt.

Now both dogs have started their spring shedding, the hair is crumbling terribly, although they are short-haired. Rumba begs for mercy. It gets clogged with wool so that you have to open it, pull out strips of wool felt from under the rollers and start again.

[Scarecrow]

Scarecrow ,
two dogs - this one is healthy !!!
I also got a short-haired dog. Now she is three months old, it’s booming to walk outside in a week, and while we drink and pee, then we drink and pee, then we drink and pee again ... and it all makes me think about scuba, you know .. plus, in the long term, mud on the paws after walking ... Yeah .... will we live to see discounts on scuba ???

Scarecrow, and how do large fruits of a tiled floor make themselves felt? What is the feature of the tile that affects the operation of the scuba? How are your pipes?

I found a spare pipe (I know myself and I bought all the removable parts in duplicate, I lost except the main and spare, but I found a spare later). Gee ..

And the tile affects in the sense - I use scuba often. Katya-Shpilka writes - rarely, more in a rumba. But she has an apartment and parquet. And I have large areas of tiles (the entire hall, kitchen, bathrooms), so God himself ordered me to use the scuba. I swell the vinegar and everything burns.

[Scarecrow]

Yes, Scarecrow, I also did not understand - what problems? It seems that Scuba has been working for me the longest, and the dog is shedding, and the cats are fluffy, and there are a lot of tiles. But no troubles.

I already wrote about troubles with my scuba here. At first her wheel was jammed, they changed it. Then she started yelling every 5 minutes that the container was overflowing, they were taken to the workshop. For a while it was normal, now again the same periodically. One of the lower elastic bands was changed, because it turned out to be cut, then the second came off and disappeared without a trace.

[Scarecrow]

Scarecrow, these troubles do not depend on the type of flooring - tile or laminate or linoleum. And we thought that the problems are due to the fact that your floor is covered with napkin.
By the way, dogs on wet tiles - how can a cow on ice do they need some kind of special tile? Don't you know?

[Scarecrow]

Scarecrow, these troubles do not depend on the type of flooring - tile or laminate or linoleum.

Who said that they depend on it? !!!

And I, on the contrary, use more scuba. Even though we always have troubles with her. Large areas of tiled floors make themselves felt.

That is, even though I have eternal problems with it, I still use it more, because I have a lot of floor coverings that lend themselves well to washing.

So the meaning is clearer?

It also works for me, the front wheel is jammed, I took it off, cleaned it of dirt and curled hair, put it in place, it runs like new ...

It also works for me, the front wheel is jammed, I took it off, cleaned it of dirt and curled hair, put it in place, it runs like new ...

It’s not so simple for me. The husband even disassembled a plastic block adjacent to the wheel, they thought something had jammed in there. There is nothing there. It turned out that the engine drive to this wheel was jammed.

What do you think of the new 230th model?

[Sens]

Sens, I think badly, this model is tall, it cannot drive under furniture and wash there, a huge drawback ...

I did not find the dimensions of the robot itself in the description of the 350,380, 385th model on the Ayrobot website .... strange!
the 230th has a height of 8.9 cm. is he taller?

p.s on Ayrobot they also came up with "three years of free service for 2990 rubles." but only one of the three vacuum cleaners is not defective.
I wonder if developed capitalism also has such a proposal?

[Sens]

Sens, 9 centimeters - the height of old models, in 230 the height is 3 times more, in the same place two tanks are vertically placed, due to this, their size is increased and they work completely under battery discharge ...
Look at the video that Chuchelka gives, or on the Mercan website, you can clearly see ...

[Sens]

Isn't rumba-scuba cheaper from Amazon? Sens, are you satisfied with the rumba? I also have a dog, wool and sand from my paws ... And a scuba is probably needed or not? I wipe my kitchen floor 5-8 times a day. I have a doggie "in transit" can go through one door on the street, and leaked into another. The mop from the "white cat" will soon grow into your hands ...

with e-wow cheaper, of course.
but I will buy in Moscow, the choice and service are very important for this device.
And I'm happy with Rumba
It's hard to say if you need a Scuba ... since you described the situation, it is better to buy an enclosure for the dog ...
He's not a scuba for quick cleaning ...
In general, you know, you should buy robots only if you yourself do not want to wash and vacuum.

Of course, washing is not particularly good for me ... But what about pushing a Labradosha into an aviary. In the summer, maybe under a canopy and will sleep ... But I'm sorry for the pig ...

issues of keeping a dog are decided individually and require wisdom ...

My friends have a Labrador girl who lives in an aviary house all year round, she was overpowered there from home after the birth of a child.
Dopleta's labras live only at home and nothing ... And my Chita has her own house in the apartment - a cage in which she locks herself safely when there is no one at home, this despite the fact that she sleeps in bed ..

it is difficult to say which solution in terms of cleanliness will be optimal when the dog is used to walking freely from home to the site and back ...
.... however, you can forget about cleanliness .. and you are calm and the dog is happy!

I think you start with a rumba ... anyway, before washing with a scuba, you need to vacuum it ... although ... uchelka, at the cat. and rumba and scuba, writes that scuba works more often.

Scarecrow, at the cat. and rumba and scuba, writes that scuba works more often.

Doppleta, cat. and rumba, and scuba, and a dog, and cats - rumba works more often.

[dopleta]

dopleta, and you did not buy in Russia? On what terms?

Doppleta, cat. and rumba, and scuba, and a dog, and cats - rumba works more often.

Chuchelka has a rumba, a scuba and two huge males, but more often a scuba works. In spring and autumn, when my perfectly short-haired dogs shed, my rumba very quickly gorges on wool and begins to leave it on the rugs. Therefore, I will run faster with a regular one, and I will start a scuba to wash.

[Scarecrow]

Scarecrow, and you bought in Ayrobot on Ryabinovaya? How did the troubles get back to normal?

Yeah, there. Yes, my scuba seems to have calmed down. Itself. Moreover, I think this is due to the drying of the tank. When I didn't open the rubber bands to dry it after rinsing, she was constantly freaking out. And recently (for several months already) I have been drying after each wash (I rinse and leave it open, and it’s still on the charge) - everything works well, very rarely makes a fool. Although we also washed it inside with domestos and hot water, as advised in the aerobot. The sensors are dirty there. This is not uncommon, it turns out.

the dog seemed to be one ... or did you count it and ....?

What are you! There was one, but already two years.

Unka is still small, wait, probably more than Jean ...

[Scarecrow]

Scarecrow,
Well, you are a straight piggy bank of useful tips!
How do you store it, on a rug or on a stand?

Just on the floor. Tiled. Standing under the kitchen couch and charging.

[Pakat]

How do you store it, on a rug or on a stand?

It is more convenient to buy a battery charger, and store Scooba while standing on the edge separately ...

Pakat , Were you visiting Chuchelka?

I can visit you too, give me your skype number ...

If Iota worked fine, Skype would be a pleasure, and so ...
Well, people, probably buy me a rumba for a start ... And then - look? ... I walk at home barefoot - such a quirk, crumbs under my feet - death is like ... when I crawl into the kitchen in the morning, and there the kids drank tea at night , well, it seems like, so as not to make a lot of noise, the floors are not washed ..., I just - beastly. And the sand from the dog's feet ...

[matroskin_kot]

matroskin_kotdefinitely start with Rumba. In my opinion, everyone who bought both after me, agree with me. Scuba only washes, she doesn't like to collect dirt: nea :. Sens, I bought in the States, through, it turned out two times cheaper. And no problem. Rumba has been working for four years now. Scuba is smaller, but also, like, the longest here, except for Pakat.

[dopleta]

dopleta,
Thank you for the detailed answer.
How is the voltage difference problem solved?

[Sens]

... .... is there a plug socket in the battery?

Sens, I repeat, the battery is inserted into the charger ...

I guess...
but on your links, device with plug and plug

and the plug and plug are inserted into it ...

[dopleta]

dopleta,
Thank you for the detailed answer.
How is the voltage difference problem solved?

Naturally, using a transformer. Now, fortunately, they are small and buying them is not a problem.

[Pakat]

Pakat, Thank you.

Dopplet , apparently, I realized that I need to post pictures right away ...

matroskin_kot .... uh ... you have to go somewhere else ...
since amozon does not send to Russia ... or ??

well, where is Hairpin?

The Amazons seem to be sending, not all - the French - only books-disks, and America - ... I'll go and ask Pakatik ...

I don’t know how to Russia, this omerzon doesn’t send to Canada, but its choice is small and the prices are twice as high ...

[matroskin_kot]

matroskin_kot, why not go to e-wow?

Doplet, Amazon and e-wow the same thing?

Probably, you can find it even cheaper on e-bay, but I bought it (there are Amazon and other stores on the same site). I just looked in there, a completely new Scuba in a package - 10,400 rubles. There are also for 5800, but that seemed to me used. In any case, after ordering, they always call me, and I clarify all the points of interest.
matroskin_kot, but what - only you can change ava? And Rumbas there generally from 2500 rubles.

People, please advise. There are two bobbleheads available - one is just starting to crawl. There are 84 sq. m .. There are 20 thousand rubles .. I am thinking that it is worth buying a Scuba or Rumba first, or is it still worth reporting money and taking a set? like this seller

I really don't like cleaning floors, but now I really need to with a small mop :))

[dopleta]

dopleta, Thank you! ) I'm sure I won't regret it. then it remains only to decide on the models.
do you think rumba 560 and scuba 380 will be enough? I'm honestly already confused in all models

do you think rumba 560 and scuba 380 will be enough? I'm honestly already confused in all models

I don’t presume to advise about the models, I bought my rumba + scuba for a very long time and did not understand the latest models. Ay !!! Who has bought recently? Help the person with advice!
Here's a post on Scuba from 2009, quoted by Ldeath:
"The Scooba 350 washes 46m2 with one battery charge, while the solution is only enough for 23m2.

The Scooba 380 washes 80m2 per battery charge, while the solution is sufficient for 40m2

The Scooba 330 washes 23m2 per battery charge, while the solution is sufficient for 23m2

The Scooba 340 washes 46m2 per battery charge, while the solution is sufficient for 46m2

But all Scooba batteries are the same and fit together.
The best option is of course Li-ion 4600mAh-3700mAh.

But you can also NiMH 4100mAh. "
