Rumba - robot vacuum cleaner for dry cleaning

[Anna1957]

Anna1957Until Sergei answered, can I speak? It seems to me that this capacity is too small. Now you can find 4500 mAh for inexpensive, if you search. I found myself on ebee when I needed to. They last longer!

Thank you, I discovered here that nothing will work: they are delivered not by Amazon itself, but by another store. And we will order many items, but to send them in 1 parcel, so that we can receive them immediately by mail on demand. There was already a bad experience when part of the ordered was sent back.

As a result, instead of a battery for Rumba, I chose such an inexpensive dust, I want to give my son - is it worth it? 🔗
Or is this one better?
🔗

For advice about 4500 mAh, Rita, thanks, I will look after.

In batteries, it is not the capacity that the manufacturer writes, the amount of energy that the battery can actually give after six months of operation is valued, I don’t know, everything is beautiful on the labels, how much you will find out in life, it’s difficult to advise me in choosing a battery, but in Neato XV I can say exactly, there are very few high-quality unoriginal ones, it all depends on the seller who sells them, batteries are like food, if you put good products, then the end result will come out almost always better than from expired and rotten and no fine margarine can replace ordinary butter.
4.2A is great, only they are lighter than 3A in weight, a strange discrepancy, right?
The battery warranty is usually 6 months, and almost everything fits within this period, except for outright junk that can be bought on Ali and not even ebay.

Thank you, Sergey. What about my chosen inexpensive vacuum cleaners - are they worth buying?

[Anna1957]

Anna1957It all depends on where and how you will use them, you should answer 10 simple questions about the selection of a vacuum cleaner robot for a specific apartment.
1. The area of ​​the apartment?
2. Number of rooms?
3. Size of the largest room or combined space?
4. The composition of the coatings?
5. The presence of animals and which ones?
6. The presence of long-haired with a hair length of more than 25cm?
7. Who will service the robot (clean, empty the bin, watch)?
8. How do you imagine the work of a robot?
9. Are you ready to adjust the apartment for robotic cleaning?
10. Budget?

Sergey, I don't really know yet which one we'll use where. I have Rumba 3 years old who I want to upgrade the battery. I have a small studio 28m, my son has a total area of ​​70m, 2 rooms, the largest space is 40m. Covering my laminate - tiles, he has tiles. There are no animals and long-haired. Follow - each for his own. I start the robot when I leave for work. How it will be - I do not know, I think the same. The budget is just the question: is it worth buying one of these vacuum cleaners for one of these 2 apartments for 100 euros? The other, accordingly, will go to another apartment.

[Anna1957]

Anna1957, these robots, if I'm not mistaken without a charging base, charge them manually, they work for about an hour after charging the battery. These robots are exclusively for flat surfaces, for room-by-room cleaning, locked in one room, he cleaned it there before discharging it, charged it again and launched it into the next room, the algorithm for moving the robot is very simple, simpler than robots that can get up on the base, simple rebound from an obstacle at an arbitrary angle. The cleaning quality is proportional to the cleaning time.
You should send your son a rumba, and turn on the new simple one yourself in the morning for cleaning, and in the evening too.
But it is worth considering that the areas for Rumba are also too large, 40 meters are already guaranteed passes that can only be corrected by daily cleaning and obligatory weekly wet cleaning.

Good day. Please tell me which is the best robot to buy? laminate, linoleum. there is an animal in the form of a cat.

Thank you, Sergey. I also tend to this.

[Medtech]

Medtech,
Sergey, tell me, is it possible to launch the robot in a day, I'm afraid to leave it unattended.

[Margarita]

Margarita, it is possible in two or three days.

[Nicoletta]

Nicoletta,
Without answers to the standard 10 simple questions for the selection of a robot vacuum cleaner for a specific apartment, it is difficult for me to answer, the robot is selected for an apartment, and not just for a cat, laminate or tile, I interviewed several hundred owners and future owners of robots, these are the minimum questions that are necessary know the answer.

[plod7]

plod7It is possible once a week, but then the robot will fill up in half an hour of work and will no longer be able to absorb dust, you yourself can find out the frequency of the necessary cleaning.

[Anna]

Medtech, Sergey, there was an opportunity to order a battery for Rumba on Amazon

AnnaDo you order a battery on Amazon because of the price, or the inability to buy in the city? The fact is that now in Turkey it is impossible to find it, and my husband comes to St. Petersburg for the weekend, and I hope that he will be able to buy a battery in one of the city's shops.

[Erhan]

Erhan Svetlana, Native Ni-Mh batteries are available in all IRobot brand stores.

At the price it turns out 2 times cheaper, and in St. Petersburg I did not even try to look. We're just going to Finland to a cottage, so I want to make the most of the opportunity to order from Amazon.

[Song*]

Song*-Anya, Anna1957-Anna, Thank you. It is unlikely that the husband will find branded stores, he has little time, and he does not understand Russian.
And we gave Rumba to the mother-in-law, so she just got used to it, as the battery completely sat down.
I don't understand this kind of capitalism: you can't buy a robot for any money, or a battery.

[Erhan]

Erhan, Svetlana, so you turn to the girls from St. Petersburg! I think they will help your husband! The girls on the forum are generally responsive! Here I have an office. there is a representative in the city (I bought rumba there), but this is from Peter VERY FAR

[Ludmila]

Ludmila, thanks for the advice, but this is not medicine for a child to bother anyone. And my husband will not even be able to make a phone call, he only knows the Germans. Well, he won't find the battery, it's okay, he himself would not get lost.

Svetlana, does Amazon send you?

And my husband will not even be able to make a phone call, he only knows the Germans.

And you write the addresses and phone numbers of the stores on a piece of paper, someone will help you find it.
And maybe some of our members of the forum are going to your vacation, maybe they would bring you a battery, it's small ... You throw a cry, maybe someone will respond.

[Anna]

Anna, nobody sends to us. And if someone sends, then there is such a tax at customs that you won't want to buy. I found one company, they send it, but the problems with customs are solved either by ourselves or by them for $ 200.
Anya, thank you, my husband said that he would find everything himself. I really don't like to bother anyone.
In addition, if we don’t buy now, then in winter someone often travels to Germany, from there they will certainly bring it.

If suddenly through Ukraine, then contact: original new generation iRobot XLife batteries for 72 euros. You will hardly find cheaper.

[Robo-Cop]

Robo-Cop, but I'm not even looking for cheap ones, I would generally find it. Unfortunately, no one goes anywhere through Ukraine.

there is such a tax at customs that you don't want to buy. I found one company, they send it, but we solve the problems with customs either ourselves, or they are for $ 200.

What is the customs limit for international mail in Turkey? It cannot be that it was below 100 euros. Even in Germany, it is around 140.

[Robo-Cop]

Robo-Cop, 75 euros limit and many other restrictions because of which you do not want to contact customs. On the internet there are only negative reviews and warnings. Here, there are generally high taxes on imported goods - the state lobbies local producers.

We bought a battery. There was no need to look for shops - in Moscow they were delivered directly to the hotel.

Good!

So my rumbic battery died. It works for 10-15 minutes. Of course it charges quickly now - but this is not an option ...
Judging by the inscription on the rumbic belly, we have model 533. He is almost 4 years old.
While there are such options, please advise what to choose:
- blue battery for 6400 + shipping 🔗
- yellow for 2980 + delivery 🔗
Or take it for 7500 with delivery 510?
It is necessary to decide in a maximum of 2 days (this is if 510)

[Nata333]

Nata333, all batteries are suitable for your robot, the only question is the longevity, you should change the brush module to a universal brush module from 6xx \ 7xx models and a new Aerovac trash can with a blue filter, and your robot will find a new life.

all batteries are suitable for your robot, the only question is the longevity

Are you saying that life with a blue battery is more than 2 times longer than with a yellow one?

You should change the brush module to a universal one from 6xx \ 7xx models and a new Aerovac trash can with a blue filter, and your robot will find a new life.

And why this expensive tuning does not seem to change Brains, and the quality of cleaning quite satisfies me. There are no carpets or animals - just laminate and tiles. The brushes rarely need to be cleaned.
Is the 510 bad? I wonder how long his native battery will last?

....

Tell me, what do you think of Vileda? There are some thoughts.
Of the advantages, the price is completely ridiculous for a robot.

[Nata333]

Nata333, everything is learned in comparison, it will become very easy to clean, then change at least the trash can for an air car, this is the most powerful upgrade.
Now, before selling, I always put new original batteries in selling robots of another brand, simply because there are fewer problems and are guaranteed to work for a long time and there will be no complaints against me. Everyone chooses how much and where to save.

[tatika04]

tatika04, an ordinary Chinese, this is a 4xx series of rumba, which is now done by all and sundry, they can be found at the production of Lilin group 🔗
Without a base, where it was discharged there and stopped, it will do for one or two rooms, only the hair will wind on the thin shafts of turbo brushes and remove them from there is a very intellectual exercise.

There are not thin brushes, but one rubber, the second brush with bristles. Yes, the hair shakes, but if you take it off right away, it seems to be tolerable.

1. The area of ​​the apartment?

9. Are you ready to adjust the apartment for robotic cleaning?
10. Budget?

Help me choose a robot, my eyes fled, there are a lot of models. I am answering the questions:
1. The area of ​​the apartment is 80 sq. m., the cleaning area, of course, is smaller, since the furniture.
2. We have three rooms and a kitchen.
3. The area of ​​the largest room is 22 square meters. m minus a huge sofa, under which it is not necessary to clean.
4. Laminate flooring and tiles, no carpets.
5. There are no animals.
6. There are no long-haired either, there are medium-haired :-)
7. I will serve the robot, but what other options? I did not understand the question a little.
8.I plan to turn it on if necessary when I go for a walk, most likely every day, you can not clean the entire apartment at once, but room by room.
9. Ready, we will remove the disturbing things.
10. The budget is 40 thousand rubles, give or take ...
It also has to move well through the sills, we have the usual interroom, for the laminate. And get up to base myself. I want to buy for dry cleaning first, then think about wet cleaning. After all, for wet cleaning, the robot still requires preliminary dry cleaning, right?

[Veronik]

Veronik, The choice is large, iKlebo Arte, Botvak with any numbers, Neato XV or pro or signature, Rumba above 6xx series.

I don’t even know what to think now ... Is it really that sad?

I don’t even know what to think now ... Is it really that sad?
🔗

do not even watch this video, nonsense ... it seems to me they played along with a multimillion audience, which simply cannot afford .. Rating is sacred for TV people. I am nowhere without mine. Since he cleans up, I don't pull it out with a vacuum cleaner, I ran around today myself, and then I started Rumbochka anyway.
Yes, for a long time, but looking at it is unrealistic, especially at first. But I always say one thing to doubting and criticizing guests, you do not look or sit in front of the washing machine. You don’t criticize that you didn’t wash all the stains, and it washes at least three socks for two hours ... and you would wash them in 3 minutes ... It's the same here ..

And sometimes even worse, because Avito has so many new robots from disappointed owners. It is just that the selection of a robot based on technical data and price is fraught with mistakes, since robots must be selected for a specific apartment and the wishes of the owners, and very often the expectations of the owners and the real capabilities of the robots do not coincide.
Many can joke and pin up, it is simple, unfortunately, not everyone can successfully choose a robot for their apartment.

[Veronik]

Veronik, The choice is large, iKlebo Arte, Botvak with any numbers, Neato XV or pro or signature, Rumba above 6xx series.

I read about different models, only got confused more. There are many different opinions. I wish I could take it, test it in an apartment, but in our city I don't know if there is such a thing. I liked the I-clebo art more, it's good that he has two side brushes, and also that he cleans the area in order. The only confusing thing is that we have a lot of dark brown laminate, almost black, won't it glitch?

[Veronik]

Veronik, Veronica, in the shopping center "Vernissage" not far (to the left) from the central entrance there is a trade point that sells Rumba robots (they are located in the lobby). You can contact, usually Alena answers, a polite and friendly girl, perhaps she will help you and advise you about the test and answer your questions.
By the way, their website offers a robot test, you just need to fill out an application 🔗

[Selena S]

Selena S, thanks a lot for the information, I will definitely call there. They have posted prices for Rumba 631, 870 and 880.631 cheaper by more than 10 thousand rubles. What is the difference? I did not find any big differences, except for the remote control in the 880 and the ability to program in the 870 and 880. The area of ​​the cleaned rooms in the expensive ones is larger, but I do not have a very large apartment. Maybe I missed something? Rumba 631 is still somewhat inferior to 870 and 880?

Their brushes are different: 631 have hairy ones, and 8 series have silicone ones. Both the brush block and the waste container in these series are not interchangeable, as, for example, between the 5 and 6 series.

So which is better to take? Is a silicone brush better? And why replace the brush block with a container with a different series for a new vacuum cleaner? Sorry, maybe I'm asking stupid questions.

[Veronik]

Veronik, if the money allows, then take the 8 series, but before buying, be sure to order a test at home to see how the vacuum cleaner will behave on a dark laminate, how it will overcome thresholds, etc. Perhaps you may not like something, then you will choose other robots or abandon the idea altogether. (I can’t live without it, I don’t need another vacuum cleaner.) It’s not bad that Rumba has a sales point in our city, which means that there is where to turn for service help, you can come, see, touch ...

P.S. Silicone brushes are easier to clean.

[Selena S]

Selena S, what kind of robot do you have? I will definitely buy, I dream right about it. You definitely need to touch and see, it's a pity that they only have an ai-robot, for a general idea others would also be tested :-)

I have 631. I chose this model for several reasons: - price
- small-sized odnushka (there is no point in taking an advanced robot)
- my husband and I are long-haired and a fairly abundant shedding dog (I heard that a silicone brush collects wool worse)
Brushing a hairy brush is not difficult for me. The quality of the cleaning suits me.
I'm sorry I got in

[Veronik]

Veronik, I bought 3.5 years ago, then there were robots of the 5 series, I was also thinking about which one to buy: cheaper 521 or more expensive 561 (if there are animals), I have a small cleaning area, but I have a long-haired cat. Here, at HP, they advised me 521, I bought this one, I am very pleased, it cleans up with high quality, only the battery began to sit down, only enough for the room, I will change the battery. Good luck to you!

[Bes7vetrov]

Bes7vetrov, Selena S, girls, thanks for the opinions, for me any information is very important.

[Veronik]

Veronik, I have the simplest and cheapest model! And I'm happy! The more expensive models have a different battery that lasts longer and lasts longer. But all the same, someday he will die. It is more expensive than cheaper models. But not on the cost of the vacuum cleaner. The difference in price, in my opinion, between the models is unreasonably high. Buy such a battery after the old one has served its life. Come out much cheaper!
