Rumba - robot vacuum cleaner for dry cleaning

maybe it was exhibited at the factory

[alinapressa]

, alinapressa, it happens, set the time, put dashes on the schedule to be sure that this is not a clock.

Answer the owners of robots which one can buy in Europe which one to choose a vacuum cleaner for the elderly help living area of ​​70 square meters animals no tiles and laminate and two carpets with brushes to try there is no such thing only distributors of cool vacuum cleaners they persuade to buy and give a try and give on credit the husband wants good and says ask for advice on the forum there will tell you which one is better or tell the forum where you can read about such robots

[tamara]

tamara you should calmly and slowly answer "10 simple questions for choosing a vacuum cleaner robot for a specific apartment", if you have already answered some of the questions, answer again, it is much more pleasant to see all the answers together.
Questions are in the topic or can be easily found on the Internet

A user of this forum under the nickname "cvetozek" sends me private messages and asks me for help in treating her vacuum cleaner. I write her a reply, but when I send it, I get a notification that "The user has an inbox full." I do not know how to inform her about this, so I am writing in this thread. Maybe she visits her and sees this post.

Here's the crux of her problem:

Hello. I will ask you if you can help me. The robot was not in operation for a whole year, but before that, I pulled out the battery as needed when fully charged, charged before use, worked for 2 days, and then everything, that is: I cleaned it of debris, let it work, it littered it, went and somewhere after 15-20 seconds it stopped, the button lit up red, I put it on charge, stood for a while, charged and again everything was the same. e again asks for charging. Is it still a battery? Thank you so much .

My answer:

Hello!

Not entirely clear from your post:
- how many years is the battery and how long the robot has worked on it before a one-year break
- did the vacuum cleaner work normally for 2 days after a one-year break?
- whether the gentle charging mode was started after a break (the diode quickly blinks orange). In this mode, it is necessary to charge at least 16 hours and this mode cannot be interrupted.

If the battery was used for no more than a year before idle, then I would still try to reanimate the battery. We put it on charge overnight, start it up, as it dies - again for 12 hours to charge and so on several times.

If the battery is older, then it would change the battery. Doesn't it give out errors when charging? Just complaining about being out of power?

If someone knows how to notify her to clean up her inbox, please write.

whether the gentle charging mode was started after a break (the diode quickly blinks orange). In this mode, it is necessary to charge at least 16 hours and this mode cannot be interrupted.

Robo-cop, but what should I do if in this mode I get a charging error? We have to pull it off the base, because the red lights up, and then charging continues again

["cvetozek"]

"cvetozek"You should change the battery, since the robot has been lying for 3 years and the battery has been lying for one year, the batteries are unfortunately not eternal, now lithium-ion batteries are on sale, even cheaper than their relatives, and the capacity is much larger, I advise you to pay attention to them.
It is worth looking at the battery contacts and possibly cleaning them, try it.

[Anna1957]

Anna1957, apparently also swears and says that error 5? either it is worth cleaning the battery contacts, or the power supply is faulty, cannot provide the required current, or the battery is faulty, cannot receive a current of more than 350mA for 30 minutes

More often 5, sometimes - 6. Most likely, the reason is in the power supply. It burned out when I turned it on for the first time (I came from America and turned it on through a transformer). The acquaintance Kulibin adapted the power supply from the laptop, and now I connect it to the network without a transformer. It has been working for more than 3 years, until it finally broke down.

[Anna1957]

Anna1957You should go to any point of sale of iRobot and check your robot on their charging, stand for half an hour and it will be clear who is not working.

thanks for the advice

... Apartment area?
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?

Good afternoon, Sergey, help me with the choice, please. I did not master the entire branch, but more than half for sure))
A robot vacuum cleaner is needed in an apartment 50 meters away, this is now. But in a year the area will be larger, so for the future.
The largest room is now 16 meters. There are tiles and laminate on the floor, but later we will put a low-pile carpet. From animals, a cat, not an ordinary long-haired one. Two people have hair longer than 25 cm. His husband will serve him, well, at least I will. I still cannot imagine the work of the robot)))
And about the budget, to spend the more the better, no, of course it is better not very expensive.

[Ulyalya]

Ulyalya, In the forum there is a choice only for one specific apartment, you already have two and without a budget, without a budget there is no answer.

Okay, let's consider two options, one and two. 50 meters and 70 meters. With storage rooms, bathroom and toilet.
The budget would like to be up to 30 thousand, plus or minus a couple of thousand.

By the way, I did not find any automatic choice in the forum)) is it you?

Sergey good afternoon, can you tell me what is the difference from 776 and 780 Rumba. They wanted to buy 780, but in the office they say they are not yet and it is not known when they will be, they offer 776. There is also 876 on the site, like the price difference from 776 is not big. What is the best choice?

difference from 776 and 780 Rumba

there is no radio channel in 776, so the movement coordinators do not support it, but it doesn’t matter to you, the area is not very large, the 8xx series will deal better with hair.

[Medtech]

Medtech, Sergey, good afternoon, we ordered 876 rumba. Can you tell me how often to change the Hepa filter and in general what to look for if there are any subtleties in relation to this device. Thank you.

[olgea]

olgeaIt is optimal to do what is written in the manufacturer's instructions, but usually all users change, clean, look much less often and nothing, everything works, this is a very durable robot in relation to it, forgives a lot.

[Medtech]

Medtech, Hello. I need your advice. I have 521 rumba, recently I notice that there is little dust in the large dust collector, as if it sucks in half the strength, all contacts are working, everything was cleaned (there were problems with the small department). If you change the dust container, as you advised, to 600, will this solve the problem with the suction power? The vacuum cleaner is 3.5 years old, the battery asks for a replacement. I was really thinking, maybe, buy a new one (I really like episode 8).
But for now, a question about the dust collector.
Thank you.

[Selena S]

Selena S, In the large compartment of the old dust collector, garbage is thrown only with the help of brushes, apparently the problem is this, but I strongly advise all users to change the trash can for an Aerovac with a blue filter and the brush module for a new sample from 6/7 model, you need to unscrew 4 screws and put new by vacuuming the inside of the robot. the whole replacement costs so far 2500r. and the effect is simply amazing, unfortunately the aeros only in black.

I also like the 8 series, recently they brought a drowned man for repair, stylish design, pleasant sound, cleans just as well.

[Medtech]

Medtech, thanks, so we will change to a 6 series dust collector (the module with brushes has already been changed).

[Medtech]

Medtech, what's new in the line of robots now? does it make sense to buy a 980?
which is better from the 800 series?

[Medtech]

Medtech, Sergei, good day. I have a Roomba 620. Can you please tell me if the robot should always be on the base on a charge? The husband says no, because this is relevant only for the first time, and then it is not necessary. However, the instructions say to keep the vacuum cleaner on charge constantly, except in cases of prolonged non-use. : girl_in_dreams: How to do the right thing? Sorry if I'm asking a stupid question or has already been asked.

[Sergei]

Girls (and men), help with advice .. I am tormented with the choice of a series of rumba ... I am thinking of buying a used one with Avito (although I am afraid of course, because I will have to come from another city, but there is no one to buy for me) .. From the proposals Now, according to the price tag of 6xx and 7xx, the series is close enough for Avito, I can not choose between them. Tell me, who has animals and robots of these series - is it convenient to clean the filters? Of course, I like the 7xx series more by design, but these hepa filters look like some very fragile damper from dirt .. do they serve normally? It is also interesting whether they are the same in terms of noise - but this is a question for those who had the opportunity to compare both types .. Or does it make no difference? Advertisers also talk about "improved cleaning algorithms", but they say a lot more) I don't know if this is significant for odnushka)
Sergei on one of the forums I already advised rumba not lower than 6xx series, so my coupon for one free advice from him has been used up

[tahakygava]

tahakygava, so you don't care that 6 is 7 for odnushka, only the schedule and the view, my robots are also on Avito: +)) since most of the sales are with us. I am at home despite the diversity and when there are no repair robots I use an old 5xx series upgraded to 6, a cat, long hair, filters in series 7 are folded like an accordion, which is why they look so small in appearance.

[Svettika]

SvettikaAs in the instructions, always at the base, if only there is a long break, then it is worth removing the battery from the robot, the robot does not have a switch that turns off the robot completely, in the stand-by the robot consumes a current of about 5-7mA, and in 5-10 days your battery will discharge almost at 0, and 20 days in advance is guaranteed depending on the condition of the battery and its service life, for batteries up to a year this is not very scary, and with long service life it may not recover. The battery removed from the robot should be stored in a cool dry place, recharging in the robot every six months.

[Sens]

Sens, it all depends solely on the apartment and the operating conditions, so I can't tell you whether it is worth it or not, if you are a lover of everything new, it is absolutely definitely worth it, this is a robot with navigation, with the possibility of repeated cleaning, knows where it is, when the charge ends after automatic recharging will return and continue from the same place. In terms of tools, it is no different from the 8xx series, but the algorithms are completely different.
And you can always read and look at the reviews and advertising texts on the manufacturers' websites.

In terms of tools, it is no different from the 8xx series, but the algorithms are completely different.

it is important!
and tell us more about the reliability of the 900 series !?
did you cut the scuba tank?

[Sens]

Sens, Unfortunately, lies, in the most conspicuous place, reminds. It's too early to talk about reliability, because it has just been released for sale, in Russia it began to be sold recently, in the foreign country no one has put in a bad word yet, but the time has passed quite a bit. And there someone else will release what, we are waiting for the new version of iKlebo, but it still does not come out.

[Medtech]

Medtech, thanks for the answer) in terms of the quality of cleaning, yes, I understand that there will be no difference in one room. I'm just interested in what is more convenient to clean with animals in the house, where consumables last longer, which works quieter and better bypasses obstacles.
What series of robots do you sell?)

[tahakygava]

tahakygava, for such questions there are private messages, but it is very easy to search by login.

And if the apartment is small, will it be normal for the robot or too cramped? Do I need to somehow prepare an apartment for him?

Robots are great at cleaning in one room, there are little robots for cleaning mouse holes.
You don't have to cook, during the first two or three cleanings, the robot will show you what needs to be done to remove the jam, where to remove or fix the wires, etc.

I'm afraid no one will clean up the mouse hole except me, these assholes carry so much hay there.
And what if the robot shows me, but I cannot eliminate something? I cannot carry furniture, and if the wires are fixed, then only with nails.

[LovingMother]

LovingMother, then you will find out whether a robot suits you or not, so I always advise everyone to rent it from friends, to assess and adjust the capabilities, their expectations, in advance, so as not to add disappointed sellers to Avito.

so as not to add disappointed sellers to Avito.

are there really such?

are there really such?

I have to go see, the robot vacuum cleaner is my dream)

[Sergei]

Sergei, no one has acquaintances, everyone only dreams, like me and many others. How clean is the robot vacuuming? I look he's tiny, frail, what can he collect there? Vacuum cleaners are usually large, powerful, with a huge motor.

I liked the 776 model - looked at Yandex and the official website of the characteristics

[LovingMother]

LovingMother, if you notice that even Dyson or other brands complete their large heavy powerful vacuum cleaners with a turbo brush, and some of the most advanced with an electric turbo brush, and you also need to suck in air through a narrow pipe at cosmic speed and force it through very thin filters.
And the robot twirls its brushes, knocks the dust out of the carpets, shifts the stale dust from the floor, picks up large debris with its turbo brushes and throws it into its trash can. After all, the raised dust flies from a weak breeze, it is enough to look closely on a sunny day in the apartment and the power of a weak fan is enough to pull it into the dustbin and sediment it with a weak stream on the filter. Why shoot sparrows with a cannon?
Try to clean the dusty surface with one pipe from a large vacuum cleaner, the dust still remains on the surface, it adheres tightly, is cleaned off only in places, take any brush and it will go much more efficiently.
You still work for a vacuum cleaner, the vacuum cleaner only sucks, but you move the brush, somewhere it is good, somewhere it is bad, the operator of the vacuum cleaner has a headache, then a TV series, then on the stove that burns, then well, he nafig, next time. And the robot doesn’t care, even if he didn’t remove everything, he will definitely remove it tomorrow, because he has no more business to do except work for you.

julia_bb, so do not hesitate, just buy with a guarantee, do not get fooled by low prices and all sorts of Garden and Lavrsky lanes.

[Sergei]

Sergei, what if there is dust between the parquet boards? For example, I bought a vacuum cleaner just for the sake of parquet and even the rather expensive Samsung cannot cope. In general, can a robot vacuum cleaner replace a large vacuum cleaner or not?)

then well nafig it, next time. And the robot doesn’t care, even if he didn’t remove everything, he will definitely remove it tomorrow, because he has no more business to do except work for you.

These are the keywords. If the robot is run every day / every other day systematically while everyone is at work (we have it, for example), then on weekends I only need to check the corners and wipe the floor. Moreover, we have a dusty area, wow

and wipe the floor.

and if you also buy a robot with wet cleaning, then in general all the work comes down to wiping the shelves, window sill and tables!
