Rumba - robot vacuum cleaner for dry cleaning

A rumbic can skip areas with dust? And why?

And you draw a 90 * angle and stick a rumbic with a diameter of 34 cm into it.And see how the rumbic can reach the end of the corner with its ponytail brush

The angle is straight and the rumbic is round And between the bedside tables the rumbic will not crawl ... well, and there are many such moments ...

The robot has a different approach to cleaning, a different technological tactic. I can push hard on the brush of my 2000 Watt monster vacuum cleaner and try to vacuum the carpet for a long time. And he will do it better than me. Even for a little more time. But without my participation!

I am a happy owner of Rumba, so I will allow myself to disagree with you. Rumba perfectly removes surface dust, but does not suck out dust from the carpet pile due to its low power, so the carpet must be periodically vacuumed with a powerful vacuum cleaner or knocked out. I think it's more honest to say that this is a robot sweeper, not a vacuum cleaner. But as a sweeper, he is incomparable.

Children say that Rubik skips sections in free space ... I don't ask about corners ... What is the guy's motion algorithm ?? How does he "think"? Is it just crawling on the floor or is there some kind of cleaning principle? there are no bags, no wires on the floor ... only cat and dog hair, well, the garbage is small ... like everyone else's, however ... Children are happy, of course, that the guy cleans up when everyone can rest, but ... why Are there any "gaps" left? What's wrong???

I will try to find out if these are now officially delivered to Aerobot - but most likely I will only find out on January 10 when the warehouse will start working.
Don't worry if something happens - the battery can be ordered from the USA!

Thank you very much, I will wait until January 10, Andrey, send me a link, please, to Diabots, you can in PM

P.S. I don't need the link, I found everything
I am leaning towards buying Ecovacs DeeBot D58.

Andrey tell me that it is better to take 521 from officials or 555 from gray suppliers, because they have the same price

Children say that Rubik skips sections in free space ... I don't ask about corners ... What is the guy's motion algorithm ?? How does he "think"? Is it just crawling on the floor or is there some kind of cleaning principle? there are no bags, no wires on the floor ... only cat and dog hair, well, the garbage is small ... like everyone else's, however ... Children are happy, of course, that the guy cleans up when everyone can rest, but ... why Are there any "gaps" left? What's wrong???

Rumba calculates the cleaning trajectory. As - do not ask, not in the know: crazy: The less obstacles - the faster removes. The skipped sections I got only if I forgot to remove the coffee table, or the floor candlestick, or something else ... he bumped into them and feather from them on a clean one, that is, as I understood, obstacles specifically change its trajectory, maybe casuzy

but, and yet, not everything sees white obstacles ... he cuts into some of them all the way, bounces off like a scalded one, and goes on, it seems to me, already with a concussion, that is, the trajectory that he circled in the center first and appreciating, he changes

I read all the pages and got confused what I want ...

iRobot Roomba 531 watching Price: 3600 UAH

Old price: 4488 UAH

The promotion is valid until 07.01.2012

Wouldn't I be wrong? There are no animals .60sq. m., only my daughter and I have increased hairiness

Perfect for 60 m2. I think you don't need programming, and you won't need virtual walls of 60m2. My vacuum cleaner is almost the same, even more primitive - without a base, but I consider it an advantage: I put it on charge only when it is completely discharged - this saves the life of the battery.But since I have much more squares, I really miss virtual walls.

Andrey, thanks for the information, I went to the site. I did not find batteries in the "spare parts" section, as far as they are available, I am interested in the price and availability. Is your store open this New Year's holidays? And what discount can I expect?

On the site they write 531 are available, but in fact 0. They will send me a 520 model with an additional virtual wall and an additional filter for 3500 ..... I do not know if this is all good .....

On the site they write 531 are available, but in fact 0. They will send me a 520 model with an additional virtual wall and an additional filter for 3500 ..... I do not know if this is all good .....

On the website it is written that the 520 differs from the 531th model only in the package bundle. Apparently, this is the virtual wall and filter.

Help me please!
I bought an American-made Rumba, therefore, the charger cannot be included in our electrical network. You need to buy either a converter (not recommended) or a step-down transformer. Who solved this problem how and what to buy as a result (and where?).

My Rumba and Scuba, bought in the States, have been using converters for a long time.

I have podzchitel robots

fig behold almost everything is under the hood

by the way, my battery is dead. almost dead. began to hold the charge for half an hour. I was presented with a new battery on NG - they ordered it on ebay. together with the shipment came up to $ 50. and about three weeks on the way - a week to our border (from somewhere on the east coast of the United States) and about two weeks across our vast country
and now they told me that after they ordered me a battery, they sharply increased in price by almost $ 20

Thanks for the hint, I added new robots
Yesterday evening, I showed my husband a video about rumba, otherwise I was listening to everything, and what was what he did not know, but he agreed with my order.
So he watches this video yesterday and smiles, says well, you give it ... it's a toy .... what do we need it for? this is a useless vesch .... how it can vacuum up .... compared to our washing machine Thomas.
oh, I felt so ashamed ... I feel like a child in my arms with a new toy
And yet, I believe that the rumbochka will come and we will prove to our dad about the usefulness of the new household

[GalinkaMalinka!]

GalinkaMalinka!I think you can prove it in a week. How often do you carry Thomas? And the point can be puzzled several times a day, there would be a desire, but your presence is optional - the "toy" is quite independent. Clean only, but feed (charge) and you will be happy Thomas will climb out of the box before very big holidays

And the lists have moved to pro & contra (I can't insert the link, I'm writing from my phone)

did not move the lists there! more precisely, the lists in support of the controversy were moved there, and the lists of the happy owners of the miracle vacuum cleaners of the same place: https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/index.php@option=com_smf&topic=112612.0

Yes, fear has big eyes. In pictures, for example, the height of the unit is not always clear.

I understand that this mustache will take up no more space than a broom with a scoop or a small traditional vacuum cleaner. But it is clear that there is where to collect dust and debris - with such a "tablet" there is a place. Yes, I'm trying to persuade myself. With my dislike for any kind of cleaning, the robot will be the very thing. It remains only to teach children and yourself not to scatter every little thing on the floor

And it’s not a bandura at all ... And just a miracle baby, I’m getting high for the fourth day. We now have to vacuum twice a day, and before every other day the huge Thomas forced herself to drag (here he is, definitely a bandura). And that's what I never cease to amaze at how collecting dust and garbage eight times in 3.5 days, he still manages to fill up a bunch of things (we didn't get dirty)

[marinal]

marinal Teeeex !!!! There is no strength to read such reviews !!!! What model do you have ??? And what do I need to clean an area of ​​2mx3m ??

[Omel!]

Omel!and what is outside of 2x3? They can do it on parquet, laminate, boards ...

As I understand it, they are all absolutely the same in terms of the quality of cleaning (the fifth series and above) you have a small footage, and as a result, the battery supply is not interesting, the virtual wall and other wisdom are also useless, so you can safely take 521, 530 (although they have walls also mine is) in general, if there is no extra money, then the very initial models, but if there is and they press, then as in any IT device, the more modern and newest, the better. I have 555

They know how in a small way
I have yuzanya experience for a year. During this period, two related families were encouraged to purchase. You should have heard my aunt talking to Rumbik, a deep pensioner

But it's better not to give up virtual walls. For example, now I fence off the Christmas tree with them so that Rumba does not eat tinsel, and he also likes to get stuck under the batteries - I fence myself off ...

Virtual walls are a box, she says to Rumba: don't go there, go here

I'll add a little.
The virtual wall is placed on the floor (small box with a fist size) and sends an invisible IR beam
This ray creates the so-called "virtual wall" for the robot, which it cannot cross!

It is very convenient to use in different everyday situations as described by kolenko

For example, I somehow cleaned the carpet like that - I locked the robot on it and for the whole hour it was spinning there - wiped it to a new level.

So Rumba also cleans carpets? Will he be able to drive from the floor to the carpet and jump back?

Of course he can, he is very agile! But carpets should be with an even pile, no more than 2-2.5 cm in height, not African braids

[Andrey_robo]

Andrey_robo, and what does it mean with an even pile? I have a pattern on the carpet like embossed, only an even field without a pattern.

Smooth - this is on which the wheels will be able to drive, conventionally everything is of course.
The main thing is that it is not like a piece of fur or with long pigtails

Your drawing is probably slightly embossed.
If the volumetric differences are no more than 5-7 mm, then everything will be fine, Rumba in this regard are very agile and passable

When I bought my assistants (Rumba and Skuba), I asked the consultant to show what and how), and so, they had a carpet in the showroom with a fairly high pile (it seems to me that it was 3-4 centimeters) and Rumbusha ran so quickly over it -and climbed on it and got off. This dispelled my doubts, although I'm not such a big fan of carpets. But now, in the new house, a large 6 by 5 carpet was laid in the dining room, so she climbed on it, climbed and immediately picked up a basket of garbage
I have been using these devices for six months, and now I cannot imagine cleaning with an ordinary vacuum cleaner. Of course, the little thing needs to be cleaned, but I taught the children all sorts of lego to collect from the floor (I have one big and three little angels)
I've heard objections like: we need to remove the chairs so that nothing interferes with cleaning, but after all, when we clean up with an ordinary vacuum cleaner, we need to clean everything, otherwise it’s not cleaning!
By the way, I have Rumba 780.

780 is the best model among robots at the moment (if you forget about the price)
In it, all the best algorithms and almost all the minor flaws of the fifth series are solved and the latest developments in circuitry!

Thanks for the tip Irina F!

Girls and boys.
I bought it. Worth - charging. I bought the simplest model 521. We have an official representative office in the city. Prices are the same as on Moscow sites. I will launch it tomorrow. I will report right away.

Congratulations!
We look forward to your feedback!

A little later, when you have already mastered it a little, if you have the time and desire, you can participate in the action and write your report, for which I donate a set of spare side brushes and a set of replacement filters.

Hello 14anna08
write what exactly interests this model?

A detailed description can be found here:
🔗



Short:
1 - updated software
2 - rubberized bumper!
3 is a good container!
4 - good filters (much better than 5 series)
5 - great productivity in cleaning area

Thank you so cute, but tszzna .... yes, plus the mail will take a lot for delivery at such a price. why don't you have a prepayment? and did not find information on the guarantee - if this violates the forum, you can in a personal

and which robot is better to take for a private house 86 sq m _ there are carpets, and linoleum, and a 1.5 year old baby is allergic.

[Andrey_robo]

Andrey_robo,
Would you be so kind as to create a new topic in which you would highlight the disassembly and cleaning of Rumba in photographs? Not everyday cleaning, but service cleaning - how to clean the wheels if they start spinning badly, or the brush rotation mechanism if it gets clogged ... Please?

[Now about filtering separately]

14anna08 - I have a prepayment. you can transfer money in a convenient way (even with electronic money, even with a transfer, I am an individual entrepreneur, I have many options). And then the parcel to another city will go without charge and will be cheaper.

Warranty for Ayrobot and Diabot = 1 year. What do my friends always have to do with them
So you don't have to worry under the warranty.

With regards to the choice of model:
I will briefly repeat my vision of models.

Rumba 5th series.
The filter is not perfect. Better than any household, but not as good as HEPA in the 7-series and not as good as in Diabots.
Rumba carpets are well vacuumed. but worse than Diabot. who would not argue with me all the robots at home are in front of my eyes and I see everything clearly every day! But again, the question is better / worse - I will not say that Rumba does not clean carpets, he cleans well. But Diabot is more sharpened under carpets due to the structure and work of the brush.

Rumba's movements are better than the Diabots 56/58.
Diabot 73 \ 76 - are not inferior in sensors and algorithms.

In terms of the bundle / functionality / price ratio, the Diabot wins with its more affordable prices.

By the area of ​​cleaning - Rumba will be stronger, it works longer on one charge.

Container - again, someone likes Rumba better. me Diabot - it's easier to shake it out for me. To each his own.
As a result, if you do not take expensive models into account,
then you can buy either Rumba 521 or Diabot 56 (or D58 - it has both a remote control and a virtual wall and a magnetic tape limiter - often useful)
Now about filtering separately

Diabot's filter is better, see photo


Of course, I have to judge by what I see (the filter is clearly + based on the results of assessing the contamination of the back side)
But I'm thinking about making a technology for testing and assessing the quality of filtration (in order to assess the level of purification of the outgoing air myself).
Summary:
Irobot is a more eminent manufacturer, proven technology, versatile result, with good performance.
DeeBot is a newer manufacturer, better filtering and cleaning of carpets.

Always a question - what is more important to you as a client? what parameters and properties?

[Andrey_robo]

Andrey_robo,
Would you be so kind as to create a new topic in which you would highlight the disassembly and cleaning of Rumba in photographs? Not everyday cleaning, but service cleaning - how to clean the wheels if they start spinning badly, or the brush rotation mechanism if it gets clogged ... Please?

Rita, I will definitely do it, but I can't promise that soon. I almost do everything myself (tests, communicating with clients, delivering orders, sending parcels), a lot of work. I have a huge amount of captured photos now. which I need to process and lay out for you all in the form of tests with descriptions and conclusions. Once I get this out of the way, I will take any detailed photos of cleaning the brushes and mechanisms.

(in fact, there is nothing complicated there.The brushes at the rumba are quick-detachable, and if you clean the giblets of the robot, then it is not difficult to disassemble - the main thing is to assemble it carefully and correctly)

If the robot is under warranty, then you need to be doubly careful not to climb where the bottom is due to the withdrawal of the warranty. Opening of devices is allowed only on services.

An illustrative video on the topic (there are many videos on YouTube about parsing Rumba):

Yours faithfully,
Andrei

We proved to our dad that Rumbochka is a fairy tale !!!! I don't know where he gets so much dust from, it seems clean, but his boots always fall out of the container. Oh, how I am grateful to all of you for your support, for your feedback, without you I would not buy such happiness. The husband cleans the rumba 521 and talks to him, where are you going? Anu come back ... well, what have you already eaten? Let’s go clean it for you. That's great! Everyone is happy! My daughter has a bad habit of hair ties, leaving hairpins near the bed, so she just hears that Rumbochka buzzes and immediately puts a virtual wall.
Rumba 521 speaks Russian included
charger for 220 volts

floor-standing charging base
accessory for cleaning brushes

instruction in Russian, English, Ukrainian languages
warranty card
costs UAH 3200.00, without virtual walls, but with a charging base.
They sent me 2 walls
and 1 filter
everything for 3560 + 37 for delivery +83 for sending money only 3680 came out. 🔗

Oh yes, robots simply amaze everyone who sees them in action for the first time with their performance.

"Where did he get so much dirt from?" - perhaps the most common question after the first demo

I am reporting.
I have the same model as Galinka Malinka 521 for 12,900 rubles. I haven't bought anything additionally yet. 2 rooms sq. 44 sq. m. the floor is linoleum which lies on the wooden floors (similar to a washboard). Long-haired dog, cat, son and me, windows on a busy street (DUST !!!). Before the new year, the renovation was completed, the furniture was rearranged, a general cleaning was done. In the coming year, we have already cleaned up too.
Launched a robot in her room (15 sq. M.). My furniture is not correct, low. He won't go anywhere. Fits under the battery. An old computer table sits in the middle of the room. Sell ​​it. He really interfered with Rumbik. Rumbik drove around the room, tried, cleaned up well. It was quieter than my vacuum cleaner, but not much. Very, very good cleaning the baseboards. I drove straight through them. But I couldn't suck in a couple of skeins of dust. I drove over them, crushed them, dragged them to the middle of the room and left them. I believe that a lot of dust has already collected or there was a protrusion in these places. I do not know. I'll see it again.
Computer, coffee tables and a chair on my wheels. She moved them away from the wall and used specials. cleaning program within 1 m. in a circle. So I didn't like cleaning. Skirting boards are not covered. This program is good if you missed something. She pushed the sofa back too (on wheels). Behind the sofa she just let him in, but when he removed, she stopped. Here it came off, especially on the baseboards.
The floor after Rumbik is the cleanest. The son looked, looked at the floor and said, it seems that the floor has been washed. So clean.
I knew that my house was dirty, but I had no idea that to such an extent. After my room, the container was jam-packed. Wool, threads, rain, hair wrapped around everything that can be wrapped around. On both brushes and on the brush mounts, everything. I remind you of 15 sq. m. and cleaned well 4 days ago. They pushed everything aside. Washed everywhere.
Then she dragged him into the kitchen. 9 sq. m. I had to run it 4 times. Only later did I see that there was an intensive cleaning program. The furniture in the kitchen is not correct. He only crawls under the table and the kitchen corner. But cleaned up very clean. The son then wiped it with a damp cloth and appreciated. As, he says, it is easy to clean, the floor is clean, the dog's hair does not stretch behind a rag. You can't sweep it with a broom. After the kitchen, I was ready for a container full of dirt and hair coiled everywhere.
I cleaned Rumbika and launched it in my son's room 9 sq. m. I didn't even follow. Furniture stands along the walls. But the closet is correct! Rumbik climbed under it. I didn't just clean the middle of the room. The container was not jammed.
Rumbik was tired, he caught fire, he wanted to eat. The corridor remained uncleaned. We'll launch it tomorrow.
It is bad for him to sit down at the base. The base is very light in weight against the wall, but not in the corner. He tries to climb on it, sit down almost evenly and begins to move his booty, try on evenly, and the base shifts a little.And he, poor thing, is forced to drive off and start from the beginning to call in at the base. And everything repeats itself. I planted it myself forcibly. He fidgeted a little and started charging. It is necessary to somehow put the base more stable. In a corner, or what? Or stick it with scotch tape? This is generally not relevant to me. I’m at home anyway and I’ll wear it myself from room to room. And I can carry it to the base myself. But tomorrow I'll try to make fun of him, so that he would sit on the base himself. But this is a trifle. You can get used to it.
CONCLUSION: guys, this is a thing. Recommend. Very clean floor after it. And if you operate it constantly, you won't need to start it 4 times. One will be enough. And may there be eternal purity!

Py. Sy. Wow, I did it. Feels like the writer died in me.

Congratulations on your purchase of Chamomile and thanks for the report! I will wait for new reviews, this information is very useful for other members of the forum!

For those who still choose and think!
1. There is an opportunity to take Diabot and Rumba for a test in Moscow.
2. Of course there will be discounts! But since the price is strictly fixed by the dealer - all clarifications on the price and discount, only through PM. And then they will do me an ata

I, too, want an assistant so much, I can’t bear it, but I don’t know who. At the beginning of last year, a friend came to me to brag about (one might say freshly bought with the support of Bubu) Rumba. The robot worked well on the floor, but refused to climb onto the carpet (wool, height - 1.2 cm), buzzed - and braked at the edge, and drove off towards the parquet. On the carpet, too, he was not particularly willing to work. Have any of the owners come across this?

I read the topic and realized that I also want such a smart and hardworking assistant. I looked for info, but we don't have such models in the store. : girl_cray: And there is SAMSUNG VCR8825T3R / XSB. Does anyone know about such an assistant, share. Can I buy it?

Does the carpet have a dense pile? Did the wheels fail?
In general, Rumba is good at climbing carpets (vacuuming them, too, nothing). But it should have stopped normally up to 2 cm.
Maybe the old generation Rumba model? Or some kind of malfunction ...
But Rumba drives into the carpets briskly.

I read the topic and realized that I also want such a smart and hardworking assistant. I looked for info, but we don't have such models in the store. : girl_cray: And there is SAMSUNG VCR8825T3R / XSB. Does anyone know about such an assistant, please share. Can I buy it?

I do not advise Samsung:
- their newfangled navigation gadgets do not always work in practice
- there are jambs on cleaning tactics (sensors sense the wall in advance and clumsily deploy the robot, a pass is obtained near the wall)
- The efficiency of dust collection is lower than that of Airbot or Diabot
- brushes are beautiful but not functional
- snake movement systems cover a large area on a single charge, but the quality suffers because of this
- there are problems with service and spare parts and consumption (try to find filters and brushes for it ...)

Better order Ayrobot Rumba, even if you have to place an order from another country. This is a proven option!

I have a rumba 521 - this is the simplest model, great for an area of ​​up to 50m, without carpets, or like mine, 2 small ones, etc. without lint, if you have a lot of fluffy ones, you need to take a more powerful model and, accordingly, more expensive

Report. Second day.
Today my sister came and brought the delegation from work. Watch Rumbika. And I just threw out the spruce branch and threw the needles on the floor. Especially for demonstration. Rumbik was great. I collected everything. True, the girls did not wait for the moment when the floor starts to shine. As if he had been washed. Dust today did not spit, although it (dust) was. Where does it come from! I didn't move the furniture today.In general, Rumbik cleaned my room and CAM sat down at the base. The first time and no problem. So I did not understand why he was buggy yesterday. He sat down and started charging. I had to wait for it to charge. Here I did not understand whether it is possible to immediately remove him from the base if he has already sat down to charge? Or do you have to wait until you charge? Charged quickly. I haven't touched him since yesterday evening. I sat on the spot all night and almost all day.
Dragged to clean the corridor. Corridor 0.8 m by 5 m + a small hallway in front of the door. The right cupboards in the hallway crawls through and cleans up under them. I got out there quickly, because there is little space and the corridor is straight. Pleases me as he cleans the skirting boards to a shine. Already climbs on them slightly from zeal. I cleaned it perfectly.
And finally, the kitchen was launched. The son ran. I am somewhat tired today. I didn't get up anymore. I ran it twice. She asked why he turned it on a second time - he says he did not clean it well. But, perhaps, the son just wanted to play. I didn't see it myself. I won't say exactly.
All. Sits at the Rumbik base, eats.
I want to say a big thank you to everyone who wrote in this section. Special thanks for answering the questions in a personal. Without you, I would not have dared to make such a useful and necessary purchase. I am not technically advanced person. And I'm not very good with money. And you helped me get my priorities right. And I bought it and I'm very happy!

Andrey, good day. Please tell me, is there a fundamental difference between the 770 and 780 models (we do not take into account the equipment and appearance)? How much do the 700 Series limiters cost? Thank you.

xoxotyshka - coordinator limiters are not on sale yet, but I think they will appear soon!

in fact, the 770 and 780 are close in capabilities.

770 - 1) if you evaluate it. then it seems to me a little expensive. all plus 780 - limiters with coordination!
2) - there were several jambs of 770 each - with her (I learned from other sellers). so, for example, I still sell them in my store.
3) in the 780, a number of functions allow you to clean a really large area in one go! (and constraints with coordinators play an important role)

Andrey, thanks. For me, the 700 series is attractive not because of the large cleaning area (since 55 sq. M. Must be cleaned), but because of the improved filters (houses 2 ASMATIC). Are there any cheaper models with a good filter? Laminate and parquet floors. Thank you.

DeeBot D56 \ D58 - filters better than 7 series Rumba
Rumba still has a problem, accordion filters - they are not convenient to clean
If the bells and whistles are not needed, the proximity sensor is not fundamental - then take the Diabot
