Rumba - robot vacuum cleaner for dry cleaning

but I have 560 and I, to my shame, are too lazy to deal with programming, so I use it without. As for the filling of the container, it gives me great pleasure to see the result.

and my base is practically the same height as the Rumba fotik is not available now, so I will just describe it. when Rumba is on the base, the highest point of the base is 5mm less than a centimeter higher than the highest point of Rumba. at the same time, the height from the floor to the highest point of the base is about 10 cm, and on the other hand, where Rumba is already on the floor, the height is about 7 cm (Rumba's height). in plan, the base protrudes beyond Rumba by about 5 centimeters (that is, its radius on one side is greater than the radius of Rumba by about 5 centimeters). the base length along the chord is approximately 20 cm. Measurements were carried out with a ruler by eye. in general, the base does not take up much space, but it still takes

no, the base is not a box. it's kind of like a small platform with a pair of contacts that Rumba runs into.

I found it on the Internet. I seem to have everything the same

I am also interested in this technique, but on the sites (in the descriptions) I did not find the dimensions (height, diameter). Everywhere they just write how much in area and in time it removes ...

[Hairpin]

in general, the base does not take up much space, but it still takes

Hairpin, you still think. My here is such a recharge which I folded and removed. And what else seems to me absolutely unnecessary in your model is the remote control. Well, do you need it? After all, the whole point is that he turned on - left - left! And he himself checks the space, the optimal trajectory and cleaning time. And at this time you go about your business, and do not sit next to and manage.

🔗 about 530

Weight 3.8 kg, dimensions - diameter 34, height 9.5 cm

Gin! Well, I understand that too. The manager told me the dimensions. And she said that you can put under the bed (well, if the bed is on legs)

I'm sitting waiting for my 530. The car has already left ...

The 505 has no base. That is, when he finished working, you will need to pick him up and carry him to the place. This is what Dopplet posted. And if mine finished working in the wrong room where the base is, I also need to take it. He can only find the base if he is in the same room as the base.

Well what are you doing !!!! It's time for me to go to deviceaholics. I also roooooooooooooooooooo. And also the corresponding salary. In Ukraine, Rumba 532 costs up to UAH 4,000. 510 - about 3,000. Here I sit looking at the site and suffer

532 - 4,000 hryvnia - 16,000 rubles? But it's cheaper than ours ... I have 530 - 17,000 rubles ... Another question is that our salaries are higher ...

[conclusions]

They brought it. I'm telling you. I start with troubles.
1. When I launched it into the kitchen, every 3-4 minutes I began to ask to clean the brushes. According to his instructions, when the brushes get tangled, he starts clicking. If you clicked once, this is normal, just changed the direction of movement. And if it clicks without stopping, then you need to clean the brushes. Well, once I cleaned it ... two ... three ... well, there is nothing to clean there !!! I began to study the design of the brushes. It turned out that they really do jam. And why? Well, we have a lot of long-haired people, but we don't comb our hair in the kitchen ... even the cat, too, eats and goes to lick her lips ... So I didn't understand with the brushes ...
2. According to the instructions, to direct the vacuum cleaner to the base, press the Dock button. Not a fig does not work. When this button is pressed, he begins to talk about himself and does not want to think about any database.

conclusions... If it were not for the seizing of the brushes ... I will have to deal with the brushes, and draw conclusions only later ...

Well, you just read my mind! I hope it was not sufficiently charged and therefore could spin the brushes.
I charged it ... forty minutes !!! But he was brought already a bit charged. According to the instructions, if it is not charged, then it goes on a long charge (16 hours) and at the same time flashes quickly. And you can't touch him. And mine blinked slowly. But when I took it off the base, it glowed green ...

But about the base, you're right. I don't think this addition is that important. Well, perhaps the pleasure that my daughter and I got when he did climb on it himself ... By the way, the base is tiny. It takes up space ... well, almost like a base for a telephone. But the need for programming in general for me is a big question.

But before Scuba, I was not yet ripe ...

Well, I'll tell you further. Yesterday I came home, took him off the base (loaded) and let him into a small room. I started clicking every five minutes ... I took out new brushes, changed them ... then I vacuumed the entrance corridor with a carpet (well, where there is a bunch of boots, skis, and so on). Well, for 30-40 minutes it worked for me. I didn't hear the clicking ... Maybe it's really that with the brushes ... Today I will come and run it throughout the apartment ... until it is completely discharged ...

Pakat has, like me, a robot without a base. Both the base and the charger perform the same role - charging the battery, so the robot can be left connected to the charger. Or, as Ldeath advised, remove the battery while the vacuum cleaner is idle. As for the location of the base under the bed, without any connection with a vacuum cleaner, I would never put any electrical appliance there - I read too much about the dangers of electromagnetic radiation, even from the most seemingly safe devices.

[kolynusha]

1. Looks like I'm ready to receive massive congratulations. After changing the brushes, everything is fine! I asked to change the brushes only once. And once he asked me to empty the garbage container. If the brushes need to be cleaned as many times as the container will clog, then ... it turns out that I can now clean the apartment three times before I need to clean something.
2. kolynusha! Everything is much simpler there. The scheme is as follows:
plug - wire - transformer - wire - male - female in the base - Rumbik on the base.
And if there is no base, then
plug - wire - transformer - wire - dad - mom in Rumbica.
That is, the mother in the base and the mother in Rumbika are identical. I can connect mine directly past the base to Rumbik.

He has two swearing bulbs. Blue and red (small, to the left and right of the central large). If he silently blinks blue, it means "Here they have littered ... Here are the pigs ... And I have to clean up after them" (definition of heavy pollution and more thorough cleaning). But if he blinks red, then he is still shouting "The container is full. Empty the container." Well, that's what I think he is shouting it. Because he screams in English, then French, and then ... and then ... and then I don't know.

Girls, that is, do you keep it on charge all the time? And it doesn't matter whether it's a base or a charger. device?

I do not hold, although it is recommended to hold. And, as I wrote, although I don't come in the summer for 3-4 months, my battery has been working for three years!

Hm ... I understand that he should determine the room automatically. Where there is little furniture, everything is tip-top. But if there is a lot of furniture ... In short, a room of 16 sq. m. he cleaned ... probably half an hour. Well, he added that he removed everything. But the room is 20 sq. m. with armchairs and so on ... He puffed for two hours, and then crawled back to the base. It looks like he couldn't automatically recognize her.
And in terms of noise ... 40-50% of a conventional vacuum cleaner. You can speak through it.

I brought a report about my Rumbik.
Here he is, my Rumbik:



These are his buttons:



Center - work / pause / stop
top - spot cleaning
bottom - the command to go to the base (the first few times it works as a demonstration)

This is how the trash can is taken out:



And here is the container itself:



And here is Rumbik upside down:



And here is the bravest cat who is not in the least afraid of robots:



And here is the brush container, open with the brushes removed:



Well, this is the propeller that slightly shakes off the baseboards:



And Rumbik at the base:

[Hairpin]

Hairpin, and softkey the base on the back. I just have a repair, can I bring the socket out under it so that the wires do not stick out, or is it not directly connected?

It only connects directly to 110. And we have it through a transformer, so it won't work directly. In the evening I'll take a photo of all these wires.

Cables.
In general, we have with cables like this:



But I unraveled them:



We go from the socket. In the socket there is a plug - a wire - a transformer (white box) - a wire connecting to the base or directly to Rumba.

Hairpin, dear, well tell me - why is a robot vacuum cleaner not suitable for those who have animals? It seems there is also for such a model. Well, dissuade me, please, I have been sick with them not for the first month !!!!

Hairpin, dear, well tell me - why is a robot vacuum cleaner not suitable for those who have animals?

The Pet series features a larger container and stiffer brushes. And to throw away the container - 10 seconds, no more. But the wool wraps around the brushes. And to clean the brushes and remove the wool - it's already ten minutes (for me). I just have a Persian cat. Apricot color. So I regularly remove this apricot wool from the brushes. That is, it turns out that I clean the brushes every hour and a half when the vacuum cleaner works. But if the brushes have to be cleaned every ten minutes ...

Well, tell me, why is the robot vacuum cleaner not suitable for those who have animals? It seems there is also for such a model. Well, dissuade me, please, I have been sick with them not for the first month !!!!

How suitable! I have a dog and a cat, and it is because of them that I started two robots. And how could I do without them before?

[Dopplet]

Dopplet, are they long-haired for you? Maybe you brush them all the time? At 100 ml (I just don't know how to determine the volume of wool, I decided in glasses), the brushes begin to click.

[Hairpin,]

Hairpin, maybe this is your first use. The further you go, the cleaner it will be and the fewer problems with brushes will become?

[Dopplet]

Dopplet, are they long-haired for you? Maybe you brush them all the time? At 100 ml (I just don't know how to determine the volume of wool, I decided in glasses), the brushes begin to click.

A cat - there are no fluffs (by the way, now there are two - my daughter has also brought a fluffy kitty from the garbage), and a Labrador, although not long-haired, but sheds is a terrible thing! But the brushes, as I already wrote, never snapped. And cleaning them after each cleaning is a hundred times easier for me than vacuuming the Rainbow once.

And cleaning them after each cleaning is a hundred times easier for me than vacuuming the Rainbow once.

Well, I only clean them when they start clicking. That is, after each cleaning I do not clean the brush or throw away the container ...

[Hence the conclusion]

Well, if it’s absolutely certain, then I don’t burn my Rumba. Let the family tense. But when the brushes begin to click or the red lamp lights up, they call me. If you clean the brushes after each room ... no, I’m scrap.
But we figured out why they click on me, but not on you.

Yes, there the container is emptied at the ashtray ejection level. But the brushes ... Disgusting Disgusting Disgusting

Hence the conclusion... If the brushes are cleaned after every room, then the dog-cat hair is not a hindrance.

Correction - I empty the container after each room. And I clean the brushes after all the cleaning of a three-room apartment (not a small one).

[Hairpin,]

Hairpin,
and yet I just can't figure out what difficulties there might be with cleaning the brushes? The set includes a special comb in the form of a tube, which rips hair from the brushes in seconds! At the same time, it is completely impossible to compare the time spent on cleaning the brushes and shaking out the container - 2-5 minutes, with the time that you have to spend when you vacuum by hand. I clean the brushes after cleaning each room - this is how the vacuum cleaner cleans cleaner, I think. And I am glad at the same time that I do not have to run around the apartment myself with a heavy roaring monster.

Tonika ,
I do not have a base - I get around calmly. But lighthouses and virtual walls are in short supply.

I specially chose myself without a base.1 - no need to allocate a place and an outlet for it; 2 - keep the robot wherever you want; 3 - the charger is tiny - here it is next to the phone: ; 4 - cheaper.

I have cat hair wrapped around the edge. So I need to remove the yellow fasteners from the sides and another yellow figurine, pick out the wool from all the cracks and put everything back together. And all this with two brushes. And the fact that this brush cleaner removes does not bother me.

So, I'm reporting the situation. He did not charge for a long time, maybe a couple of hours. Enough for my one-room apartment. Now we are finishing the balcony and the red light is already on. I threw the container once, although I might not have thrown it away. But there was a lot of fine dust on the filter. Of course, he vacuums for a long time, but what's the difference if I don't participate in this. In general, I like him and he already has a name, he is our Kid.
Of course, I boasted on another forum, or rather, I didn’t brag, but I shared my knowledge about a good device. There people climbed on the Internet and found information about a very small power, only 70-80W. They asked how he cleans up? I don't know the answer, so tell me pliz.

[Boo Boo,]

Boo Boo,
it collects dust with rotating brushes, and already pulls it in from the brushes, so a lot of power is not needed.

[Boo Boo]

Yes, Boo Boo, it does not so much suck as it "rakes" into itself. With suction. Congratulations, girlfriend!

I remember someone here promised me to experiment with buttons .......
and how is it?
what if my future vacuum cleaner meets a future unexpected puddle on the floor ?? will he sweep it or what?

Z. Y. By the way, I'm not a dog, but I can't stand Roventa Turbo Billy by ear either, well, it's a very loud device - that's why it's pushed in!

I will not experiment with buttons.
If the brushes get wet, they will stop collecting the dust - it will fall off them in pieces, and go after the robot.

I have no buttons, but he ate 10 kopecks without any problems. It is better for him not to meet with a lie.

The opinion of the owners of the 505 and 530 models is interesting. How do robots vacuum your apartment? All at once, or do you drag him from room to room?

I have a 505 and a studio apartment. I have animals and so that they do not interfere with each other, I close the vacuum cleaner in every room. There is a friend who has 530 and also odnushka. Before leaving for work, he turns it on, he cleans the entire apartment and returns to the base. A couple of days ago I brought a friend 505, turned it on in a large 50m and winding room (corridor-kitchen-living room), everything was perfectly cleaned. I left it a little in one place under the table, we then turned it on for local cleaning in this place, but for me it's still great.

I wear and close the rooms (I have a three-room Khrushchev). Maybe he will clean everything, but ... He cleans simple rooms and reports that he cleaned everything. But the big one (well, the big one, I have it. 20 square meters) ... is ready to clean forever. Not because of the size, but because of the two armchairs in the middle of the room. I understand that it is because of them that he cannot calculate the cleaning of the room. So I don't think that if I run it on the whole apartment, he will calculate it all ...

Does he brush the skirting boards and corners with a brush? I would like to turn it on and leave, but by the time everything is cleaned up

Cleans, perfectly along the plinth, in the corner it can leave a little.

Girls, maybe I missed ... but for information, please answer how long does it take for the robot to clean a 20-meter room (all other rooms I just have less) ??

He cleans the same rooms for me in very different ways. The first time I went to the kitchen for 2 hours. And now it is removed in 10 minutes. Apparently depends on the amount of dirt. I vacuum every day, there is not a lot of garbage, despite the dogs, but where does this amount of dust come from?
Hairpin seems to have already answered the rest of the questions.

520's brains work better, it is Russian-speaking and is 1000 cheaper, the irobot store is an official representative, and I'll also get you a 3% discount. The 530 has a limiter.
About the base. It doesn't always make sense.If you live in a one-room apartment and work all day long, then yes, you need a base. And if you have a larger apartment, then I suspect that he will not always be able to find the base. I personally do not need the base at all, because I vacuum when at home and close it in separate rooms.

so that's what it turns out to be although there are two limiters in the 530)

[Sens]

Sens, these restraints are expensive toys, instead of them, put the mop across the door and the robot will not go anywhere through it, but there is a penny mop handle ...
Any obstacle above the robot's clearance serves as a limiter, free of charge and without batteries ...

The 530 has one limiter.

[Pakat]

put the mop across the door and the robot won't go through it

Pakat , all ingenious is simple!

he will not always be able to find the base.
He found it with me one whole time !!!

Maybe 520 will find the base better, since it is smarter! ???

BooBoo, Hairpin , but how does the robot behave without a base when it is discharged? just stops in the middle of the room?

So the choice is between 505 and 520 ... they have the same batteries, it seems ...

Roomba 560-Ref = Refurbished - adjective 1.recovered
2.updated
What is REMANUFACTURED?

REMANUFACTURED is a consignment that has not been on sale before this time. The batch was restored at the production facilities of the manufacturer.

IROBOT Robot Vacuum Cleaners have gone through a full factory testing and bulkhead process before being fully refurbished.

ATTENTION: ROOMBA 560 REMANUFACTURED WARRANTY IS 12 MONTHS

[Pakat]

Pakat , that is, is it a completely full-fledged, identical apparatus?
Roomba 560-Ref = Roomba 560?

here's another nuance ... on some sites they write "Vacuum cleaner robot Roomba 505 vacuum cleaning. Cleans 40 square meters (3-4 medium-sized rooms) per battery charge "

They don't write anything about the 505, but about the 520 they write "Roomba 520 will independently clean up to 80 square meters without recharging."

the batteries seem to be the same ... Mistresses, BooBoo, Hairpin , please see, maybe there is in the instructions ...
