Rumba - robot vacuum cleaner for dry cleaning

By the way, about the dust - the first one that he removed, I even recognized - ordinary dust, but when he walked through the clean one - he scraped up something that looked like coal dust - apparently he began to scrub old dirt from the floor, which even with wet cleaning does not wash out. . Like this :)

Oh guys, I just ordered a scuba on e-bay .. Chtoli support me - I'm so worried, first time at this auction and first time such a big purchase ....

I walk around this topic, try it on. About programming. Everyone has different circumstances. For example, I have two dogs. Big dogs. And if I press the button while leaving, there will be a kapets by my arrival. Either a dog has a heart attack, or a robot will be cut into a hundred small robots.

I need at a certain time (I myself will forget for sure) and, secondly, to be at home. I'm not critical, I have two floors. Even if it is night - it does not bother me, and the dogs are sleeping. But getting up at night in order to turn on precisely reluctance. Let him.

tady take 505

I am impudent, I looked after 581.

Him to vacuum the entire first floor (this is a kitchen, two dormitories and a hall. All together, about 80 meters, probably). There are no doors everywhere, so it is convenient to launch it to wander around.

Do they crawl well on carpets and rugs? Crawling from one to another without problems? Not perceived as an obstacle?

Good for carpets, but Ikeev's thin striped rugs do not like.
If you have money, then take this one. But I honestly don't see the need for your case. If you will be at home during the cleaning, then you can easily get by with 505 and one limiter if there are no doors. IMHO

Maybe it's better to take the Skuba saved right away?

Oversized dust container for the 563PET pet model.

I think that the coordinators that come with the model you have chosen should help him find the base. I don't like unnecessary body movements, for example, dancing with the arrangement of coordinators. Then, if there is a lot of wool, it will quickly fill up and stop. It often happens to me that some kind of garbage will jam and squeak, the last time it was a cell phone cord thrown by children

No, there is not much wool (more precisely, it is very small, they are short-haired). And place the coordinators once and that's it. Am I getting it right?

It's right over me. First, I run around with a vacuum cleaner every day. I hate trash sticking to my heels (I always go barefoot). Secondly, the complex "geography" of the premises.

563 I'll go look.

[Scarecrow]

Scarecrow Coordinators yes, I think to arrange and if they do not interfere, then you can not remove. I just don’t remember whether to turn them on. The number of coordinators should correspond to the number of rooms. In Pat, only the container is larger, the brushes there are the same as in everyone else.
Stop thanking me immediately, we have a help forum)))) I am already uncomfortable, if I have a word.

Only in pet, as in Japan, if you put this enlarged container - it will work just like a sweeper, then I don't understand why not just buy a dirt dog, which costs about $ 200 from us ...

So the base is still manually cleaned then :) And the size is much larger than that of the rumba! So it's not worth it, IMHO :)

But in the process, he can empty the container and continue without my participation. When processing a large area, this is essential.

I don't just need a sweeper. Better standard container, but high cleaning rate. I have a Dyson vacuum cleaner with a turbo brush. It is quite possible for her to walk once a week, precisely because of the fur. It collects and sucks out everything that is possible and not.

I came to blow off steam. I bought 2 rumba and a scuba yesterday.Scuba with 1 point for yourself, the second friend. They are exactly the same. My vacuum cleaner is not working. Not charging. Gives out a charging error and at least shoot yourself, although in everything else - it works, vacuums. They pulled out the battery, wiped the contacts, tried charging directly (without a base, on another base (from a girlfriend's vacuum cleaner), tried to discharge it to the end (drove it around the room) - it's useless. This vacuum cleaner is buggy, you bastard. So I wanted to buy an assistant for myself, and now there is no assistant yet and to send him back from Tula to Moscow.

My rumba started working. In confusion, We discharged it completely, tortured, tortured, and it began to charge. I don’t know what she wanted. I hope he won't start fooling again.

I am reading and reading this topic - I also put my eyes on the rumba ...

But there are questions ...
How do you free the floor for cleaning? Remove all chairs, move chairs? What about narrow spaces between furniture? If curly furniture, with different zigzags, where will the rumba brushes not go?

Then it is easier to take a narrow brush from a normal vacuum cleaner and crawl it through all the cracks, nooks and crannies and not move the furniture.

How do you deal with this problem?

Veronica came to say thank you so much ...., used your password and bought herself a Rumba 563 PET, my joy has no limits ........ now the apartment is clean, I run it every day, we have three animals that help out a lot. ....... Thank you. ......... , a
this is how we passed the test ........

Remove all chairs, move chairs? What about narrow spaces between furniture? If curly furniture, with different zigzags, where will the rumba brushes not go?

1. I clean everything from the floor;
2. If the angles are less than 90 degrees, then Rumba may not be in the cashier ...

Yesterday we bought 505, launched it - this is the result. I didn’t even expect that he could remove it so cleanly. Many thanks to the person who came up with this miracle

Finally, my dream will soon come true. We have already decided that we will definitely buy rumba. Only for several weeks now I can't decide which one - 505 or 520? My plans are for a robot to clean an apartment of 50 sq. m .: 2 rooms, corridor, kitchen. Do you need a base or can you save money and buy a 505? This is the only difference between the 505 and the 520? In the Tula store they know about them no more than me and they could not convince for one. Owners, tell me !!!

[Alice]

Owners, tell me !!!

Alice, only you can decide! Do you have a free piece of the wall against which you would like to keep it constantly, and where will it crawl on its own after work? Or do you want to hide it in a closet and, after taking it out, charge it from a small, wired recharger? Personally, I like to hide everything. I try not to force surfaces and corners both in the kitchen and in the rooms. See for yourself who - what.

[Alice]

Alice Depends on how you plan to clean. If in his absence, then with the base. If when you are at home, then the base is not needed. Any of these vacuum cleaners will clean better if you close it in the same room, in which case the base is again unnecessary. The official supplier of the irobot store, strongly recommends keeping the robots on charge. So the closet is questionable. ))))

BooBoo, I'm still thinking, I haven't ordered the rumba yet. Can't you turn on the 505 model and leave? As far as I understood, if he cleans everything up or discharges, he just stands in the room. First, I plan to turn it on when we are at home, but then I thought about having him clean up in our absence (turn it on and leave). Regarding the constant presence in a charged state, this, of course, is interesting, but I will not argue. Eh, if I had already decided on 505, then it would be possible to buy another steam cleaner for the difference without prejudice to the family budget ...

[Boo Boo]

[So the closet is questionable. ))))

No, Boo Boo, no doubt - I always take out the battery.

[Alice]

Alice, 5 months ago I bought 505 Rumba and did not regret it, but quite the opposite, I praise myself to this day that I listened to the lights of the members of the forum. I launch my robot every day and in my absence, too, the main thing is that there are no unnecessary small objects on the floor that can interfere with movement or, which is not good at all, wind up around the brush :). I close it one by one in different rooms and go about my business. I am very pleased that I did not chase after more "brainy" robots, why overpay if everyone has the same cleaning efficiency, by 5 +

Can't you turn on the 505 model and leave?

Well, if you follow the principle that if the robot does not work, then it is on charge, then depending on how long it takes to leave.

In our Rumba, the battery is not visible. Absolutely. I can take out the container and possibly the block with brushes, it is clearly removed, but I did not dare to experiment. The rest is on the screws.

When I bought my Rumba, the service center master tested it on a computer. So, he took out the battery first by unscrewing the screw holding the side brush, removed it, then the four screws securing the cover, removed it too. There the battery is hiding. So take it out - hemorrhoids (sorry, unnecessary body movements).

by the way, from this I conclude that the manufacturer does not really want the battery to be taken out often. But for what purpose does he not want this?

So after all, here we are talking about Rumbahs with a base - there is no point in removing the battery! But from the one with the charger, it is both easy and desirable to remove it!

I have a Rumba with a charger, 505 is shorter. There is no base. You can't just get the battery out, you have to unscrew it. Therefore, for those who want a 505, the option with a cabinet is not suitable.

Well, if you only pass the charging cord through the back wall, for example.

Help !!!!!!
My Rumba has stopped collecting rubbish from carpets. Dust collects, but no small particles of debris. I have a 505, like Booboo. Maybe someone will give me some advice?

Rita, have you removed the bearings? nothing wound there? filter in what condition? can replace it or at least wash it out. Well, or it's time to change the brushes.

505 models will no longer be available. 520 is temporarily out of stock. There are 531 - the same as the 520 only there is a limiter and an additional filter included.

people, tell me, please - if I have only linoleum at home, there are no rugs, I don't need a rumba? .. I have two small children, the floors are washed every day, they always have small crumbs, hair, etc. ... a scuba with such debris without first sweeping? I thought: it's easier to take a rumba, and then walk with a wet mop, but I doubt whether linoleum needs a rumba, will it be useful?

Rumba cleans linoleum perfectly. The only thing she cannot cope with is dirty spots (they spilled something, or it was sticky and the dirt stuck, the dog trampled with dirty paws).
Skuba has a very small ground clearance and a small container, so it cannot remove larger garbage. The service explained that Scuba collects dust and washes. She does not clean up garbage. This, of course, is not entirely true, she can remove very little garbage.
I have two vacuum cleaners. I launch them according to the situation. If it is garbage (wool, hair, crumbs), then Rumba is driving. If spots, then Scuba.

klv, I have your situation, two small children, linoleum, and the same struggle for cleanliness. ... Rumba helps me a lot - I have never regretted that I bought this toy. In spite of the fact that the floor is already my work often - the same crumbs again, hair, dust flies ... Collects a lot of dirt, although at first glance the floor is almost clean. Rumba collects a lot of the smallest light gray dust, which turns into a "pillow" in three cleanings without cleaning the container. About my long hair generally keep quiet ... I still want to scuba ... You can run it in my conditions only after the rumba - otherwise the brushes and the filter will quickly clog up there. (My friend gave me the opportunity to use the scuba). At the moment, the rumba and the blue sponge mop help me out a lot ... I collect money for scuba ...

I shot everything ... I changed both the filter and the brushes ... There is no sense.

I assume that the brushes are not spinning for some reason.

I assume that the brushes are not spinning for some reason.

Spin! Hair wraps on them very well! But it still does not remove the crumbs.

And I have such a problem with Rumba - I suffer when I insert the brushes after cleaning. Cleaning often happens at home Pekingese, because of which I bought Rumba. I squirm every time the brush is badly inserted the container does not snap into place. What am I doing wrong?

Girls boys, does anyone have a Rumba 625? My husband decided to give me Rumba for New Year and wants to buy the best model. But I doubt whether it is worth paying 2 times more (I wanted a 555 model).

Girls boys, does anyone have a Rumba 625?

625 is definitely not worth it. ))))) The price is absolutely not justified. There is nothing in it that is worth paying extra for.

I got the 555th - such a cool thing! tried it today, laughed, but the cleaning was never completed - our youngest member of the family went to eat electricity!
Please tell us what kind of magic brushes need to be cleaned so that nothing gets wound and works properly? and how often should this be done? I will be very grateful!

Well ... Arrived in your ranks Having read positive reviews in the post-New Year's idleness, I decided to do it all the same - to make my life easier with the help of Roomba. And if yesterday my feelings changed from joy to doubt, then today, after a decent amount of dust and debris was collected in our seemingly clean house completely without human labor input, the final thought came about right spent invested money!

Hello everybody! I also read a lot of reviews here and decided on Rumba (thanks for the advice to everyone), as a gift to my mother ... we came to the store, and there it is allowed to rent a 505 model ... we took it, liked it, tomorrow we'll go buy .. current I think - can we better take the 520 with a charger? or is it not worth it? Mom will not leave him alone to work at home, leave it on at home, all the more so, she generally leaves the refrigerator in the outlet ... and on the other hand, with charging, the robot will control its own strength, there are fewer problems for mom with all the charging-discharges ... generally I don’t know

[KLV]

came to the store, and there it is allowed to rent a 505 model ... we took it, we liked it, tomorrow we will go to buy .. current, so I think - is it better to take the 520 with a charger?

Well this is where and how much is the 505 sold? It has long been withdrawn from our market ... just like 520 (although it seems to me that the conversation is about 530) ...

KLV, announce the location and prices.

Hairpin, thanks for the answers, the model is exactly 520 and 505, we live in Khabarovsk, civilization comes to us later ... 505 costs 13,500, and 520 - 17,000 rubles ... but about bending over is very relevant, better then 520 ...

[Doplets]

Alas ... the 505 model (without a base) sold out for nine and a half thousand six months ago ... Now we have no base without a base in Moscow ...

You can consider cheaper options ...

Wait, I'll joke on information Doplets... A friend took from her, she seemed happy ... Doplets Rumba is, she has something to compare, But ...

We are buying a herd here on that site ... And here you can be a pioneer with an unknown result ...

Hello robot owners and robot owners I've been looking at robotic vacuum cleaners for a long time, but now the desire to have it has acquired a more concrete form. Therefore, questions arose. For a long time I have been paying a lot of attention to the "exhaust" from the vacuum cleaner (ie, the outgoing air). Therefore, there used to be Karcher with an aquafilter, now Zelmer also with an aquafilter. The cleanliness of the outgoing air is clearly manifested in the cleanness of dust from the upper shelves of furniture for several days (after a regular vacuum cleaner, the dust was in place the next day after cleaning). How are the robots doing with this? Will AeroVac help in the fight for air purity in 550 and 580 models? I choose between these models, is it worth paying more for the 580?

[k.alena!]

k.alena!

I don’t bother that deeply, but I don’t think robotic vacuum cleaners can provide this level of cleanliness ...

[Hairpin]

Hairpin, do not kill a dream at the root How often do you wipe dust from elevated horizontal surfaces? For me this is not an idle question, I am allergic and children are prone and the dust suspension flying in the air after a regular vacuum cleaner (especially when it has not been there for years) is very noticeable

[Mila007!]

Mila007!

It is not as powerful as conventional vacuum cleaners. Its suction power is much weaker.But it is designed for daily cleaning. I clean once a week, about 8-10 sq. meters, it collects 2-3 glasses of dust.

Wrong! Rumba has a suction zone smaller than that of a normal powerful vacuum cleaner, the specific suction is comparable.
In addition, due to daily, or a couple of times a day, cleaning, cleanliness after a rumba is much better than a regular vacuum cleaner that works once a week. And labor costs for a vacuum cleaner and rumba are incomparable ...

Hairpin, what do you think of sixth generation robots? I looked at us in St. Petersburg no rumba 625, only 610. But according to the description, it's hard for me to decide, but what is the difference? Only in the cleaning area? Or maybe something else, they call him a professional?

[Lga]

Lga, I will not answer you anything intelligible. It's just that when I bought Skuba and talked to Marina Rudneva on the phone, I asked why Skuba had so many joints, and Rumba was having more fun. To which Rudneva replied:
- So you have Rumba of the fifth generation, and Scuba - only the third ... What do you expect from the third generation?
But when Scuba began to get stuck where Rumba did not get stuck, I thought it was because of the third generation.

Besides, if I'm not mistaken, there was a post somewhere about the fourth generation Rumbas. So there, it seems, there was no vacuum suction ... How it worked, I did not understand ...

Therefore, I believe that a generational change is a global improvement of everything. Only here the price is there ... it is clear that it is clearly like that of an airplane, because they did not indicate it ...

If the difference in price was 30-40 percent, I would take the next generation ...

Spire, on rumba 610 - they wrote the price.
