Rumba - robot vacuum cleaner for dry cleaning

Two days ago, I noticed at night that my charger hums, whistles quietly. Nobody had such a thing?

1) the squeak-hum of the charger is normal

2) beacons - can only be used on 581 and 780 models

Yes, there is only one container - either a regular one or for wool. As for the pieces of paper, I don't know for sure, I try to check before cleaning so that the paper or cellophane bag does not accidentally fall, because once he almost pulled the bag into himself, barely managed to grab it. And in the subject they wrote that there were a lot of pieces of paper in the nursery and the vacuum cleaner almost broke down, so I try to be more careful, I check the area before cleaning, I don't want to risk it.

I wrote about pieces of paper in the nursery. But he was not going to break. He just filled the container with pieces of paper and then got stuck.

but I still can’t choose from 555 or 564, is it worth overpaying for an air car ?? Help...

for some reason, the purchase of a robot from me was postponed (I had to spend all my stash on other needs).

Given:
1.two-room apartment 55 sq. m in a very neglected state,
2.floors laminate (room and hallway), old parquet (room) and tiles (hallway and kitchen),
3. 2-3 adults live permanently, 2 children, 1 Thai (old-type Siamese) cat,
4. In the future (not yet clear) the presence of a large dog with a coat of medium length (large schnauzer).

I'm starting to save up again, maybe by December (by the DR) I'll buy ... Now the question is: which robot should I target? On 521 or 563 PET (we do not have 564 models in the office store)? The difference in price for me is very significant, but if desired, lifting.

Thank you all very much for such a valuable topic.
Special thanks AlKA, for the offer to use her discount card
Now I also have such an animal that runs around the apartment and cleans up, tidies up ...
We took the gray model from the official representatives - 532 PET. In words, they promised (and filled their own) the same guarantee as for the white models.
From the conditions of choice there were: 2 rooms of 50 squares, two constantly molting adults, two children and a shaggy cat in temporary exile (until the older one sits down).
Plus, we made the task more difficult for the rumbik - we laid a carpet (the youngest began to crawl). So the carpet "surpassed" us all - it has the largest amount of combed wool.
It remains to return the cat to its historical homeland and check which of them is woolier
While I use only a regular waste container, there is little large debris, so it does not have time to clog up. But fine dust with two metallurgical giants .... True, I drive it, if not every day, then every other day for sure.
I am very pleased with the purchase, the apartment has become much cleaner, and my efforts are spent on this less

!
I found this while looking for information about the 532 model (although it is written that it is 530)

Glad it came in handy. You're welcome .
The next card purchase, I believe, will be with a greater discount. Therefore, if anyone has a need ...;) I do not mind. I myself will not buy another vacuum cleaner yet.

And I (505th) began to crack loudly during work, I clean it after each cleaning. What could it be?

and the other day I ordered 555, I will have to wait longer because of the holidays, in 10 days I will unsubscribe, I hope, in anticipation of everything, and I keep thinking, well, when can you not clean up for a couple of days so that the effect of the container contents is stronger

Verbochka.of course, unsubscribe, or even better documentary, register your purchase and show off, who has not bought it yet, but very hot!

sorry to write here, but many people write that after rumba they want scuba -
I got this situation, I ordered for buy. ru scuba 380 and they made a surprise for me. I can’t cancel the order. The robot has been sent to Russia, maybe someone needs it?
it is new, as they said - packed - but there is no adapter.
I will give it at the price that cost me - questions in a personal.

"I have started a new life!"
The first time I said these words when I bought a dishwasher, the second time, when I got a robot vacuum cleaner. The whole family was against this purchase, saying that it was a useless toy, but after suffering for two years I still bought it, and now I am very sorry that I did not do it earlier.
We have a large family, four adults and two children (2 years and 2 months), plus the adults are not very concerned about order and it so happened that no one else in the house was vacuuming except me. And I and my two children did not have enough time for this business. Now this problem no longer exists, as in other matters and dirty floors in the house.
Apartment of 80 square meters, 3 rooms and a large corridor. We bought 531 models, the kit included a virtual wall - a very useful piece. Before the first launch of the robot, I did a general cleaning (not on purpose, it happened), and what my surprise was when from the very first room he collected a full container of dust and debris somewhere. Our main vacuum cleaner is powerful, it sticks to the carpet and the floor, so you can't tear it off…. I could not even think that he could miss anything at all ... but Rumbochka even found something to collect behind him. The same picture was in the other rooms.
He works for me every day, and every day he takes so much dust from somewhere that I can only wonder ... what pigs we are ... and how we used to live without Rumba.
The floors are now perfectly clean ... .. even less frequent cleaning.
In general, I am satisfied with the purchase ... .. and now I well understand that this purchase for life, like with a washing machine, one broke, immediately buy another and you can't even imagine life without it

three hours ago they said that today my long-awaited vacuum cleaner will be brought, and silence ...
in anticipation, I don't want to be disappointed, because we women immediately come up with what we need, what we will use every day, but in fact it turns out ...

I'm starting to save up again, maybe by December (by the DR) I'll buy ... Now the question is: which robot should I target? On 521 or 563 PET (we do not have 564 models in the office store)? The difference in price for me is very significant, but lifting if desired.

We have 551 (updated 550) with the aerial vehicle, here 🔗 reasonable prices and I have a card, I can give it (so far by 3%, but soon we will take it to my mother, it may increase)

Hurrah! arrived! I tried to turn it on on the rug by the front door, I removed everything and locked it up, now it's on charge until morning, I'm waiting for tomorrow for testing, and it looks very solid, it touches the walls smoothly, lower than I thought, and by the way quiet ..

I apologize to everyone who was waiting for my countdown on the purchase, there was no time since I passed the exams for a driver's license, I passed it myself and the first time, which I am very proud of !!
I ordered rumba 555 from an official representative, which is very happy so as not to rack my brains about the guarantee, although I spent probably a week on any Amazons, I thought about ordering everything, but then they don’t do delivery to us, then I don’t have a card, and I have to issue it for at least two weeks and it costs money, then the shipment will not be cheap, I heard that it happens and it takes 40 days, in general, I spat and decided that it was better to overpay, but it would be safer and faster, and I was also very afraid that if it breaks on the road or then breaks, the husband will grumble, and so I bought it without his knowledge, so to speak, a birthday present for myself turned out to be a surprise for him, otherwise if I had warned him, as a skeptic, he would have immediately refused me.Now this skeptic tells his acquaintances about it and uses it now while I'm in the hospital.
They brought everything in a beautiful box, each item in its own packaging, the robot itself is securely fastened in the package, immediately gave it to clean the rug in the hallway and pressed the "dock" button to check if it parked on its own, everything worked out the first time, and the rug in the hallway was perfect clean, where there is usually sand, I did not even disdain to step on with my bare foot, my husband grumbled for the money spent, said that the thing was even nothing, then the moment came for a long charging, although I really wanted to run it throughout the apartment and watch ..
Having charged it by the next morning, I lifted and pushed aside everything that can be moved away, so to speak, make a general, so to speak, he raked up and pumped a full container for me, he was not too lazy and took it to the balcony where I have a carpet, the dark blue carpet was always in white skates from my socks, now it is perfectly clean, I closed it in the toilet and could not understand why it didn’t turn off for so long, I went in and he scooped up construction dust and pebbles of cement from under the parogue with a paddle brush, he raked so much, and I had no idea what was under my threshold so much of this cement dust, then I was not even too lazy to run it under the bathtub, pushed the screen and let it go, I couldn’t reach it with my hands, but he tidied everything up, and on the crown of the cabinet and kitchen, he doesn’t fall, and on the sofa there are children on crumbled cookies, too, the robot will clean up, and have a haircut at home - again the robot, you don't even need to wash everything collects ...
In general, as for the usual cleaning of the floor, he does it great, we have a dark laminate, dust in the sun is now not visible - it is not! you walk barefoot and nothing sticks to your feet, and the sand from the sandbox does not bother us, we immediately come and I turn on local cleaning in the corridor.
They took them to their parents in a neighboring house and left them, tidied everything up and even lifted the nap of the carpet, it is very pleasant to step on it, how much my mother has a negative attitude to all this, but even she was on fire to take 521 models to her dacha.
I re-read all the forums, I kept thinking how to use it, how to clean it, how often? Sheep, it's easier to clean, I pressed the button, took out the container and turned it over into the trash bin, rinsed the filter after a few days and put a spare one, and that one in the dryer and that's it, I take it out once a week, and the first times after each cleaning I fill up, collects my hair, and even when you cut someone's hair (I'm a hairdresser for the first special), you don't even need to sweep, everything collects. I washed the floors somewhere in a week, for decency, now I’m in the hospital, I’m writing a review and don’t worry that my husband and children have dirty floors, I programmed everything, let me go home, I come and the floors are clean, I don’t even need to wash the floors if I don’t get dirty with juices and cereals, 2 weeks did not wash and you will not tell. Sometimes I ran it through the rooms, so quickly. A child in the next room can sleep in the process; it does not make much noise with such a vacuum cleaner. I highly recommend everyone, who from Kaliningrad I can even show. In general, I want to tell everyone that there is such a THING !!
The movements were not even stupid, I was especially pleased with how they competently drives around the legs of the chairs, along the baseboards - super, a couple of times wound up children's socks and panties, he stopped himself, said in Russian and turned off, well done.
Outwardly solid, beautiful, heavy there is a handle for carrying, the base is tiny
My advice to you, do not be afraid, buy, but not cheap, I really wanted programmable, although in reality you can do with self-pressing and for money for 12,900 this is already normal, you need to listen to the consultants, they will tell you about your footage, I was advised 521 models for 56 m , but I ran into 555, when I get rich I will definitely take 770 ...
Now we are thinking with my sister to throw off and buy our granny, yes, my husband has already checked it out, he uses it, the children say goodbye to the robot and say hello, and I also told them that the rumba is eating their toys, now when he comes into the room, they let them put everything in the box
Thanks to Andrey and the girls for the advice !!!

Tell me please ... the Side brush has stopped spinning. what to do?

Tell me please ... the Side brush has stopped spinning. what to do?

Try unscrewing it with a screwdriver and clean it! I always do this because she also clogs up and winds up her hair, etc.

The husband unscrewed. clean there. and does not spin

The husband unscrewed. clean there. and does not spin

There can be several options here, ranging from clogging the brush drives with dirt and ending with the breakdown of these very drives.
Try to remove the bottom cover and clean the inside of the device, if it doesn't help, then the best option is to contact the service (I don't know how things are with this in Ukraine, though).

Today I laughed with my daughters, turned on my Rumba-Zhorik and went to cook, suddenly I heard it stopped buzzing, I went to look, otherwise he has recently been shirking from his duties, impudent. So I come, he is nowhere to be found, everything has not climbed on all fours. I shout to my daughter -Zhorik ran away !!!!
We examined all the rooms, no ... We are sitting on the couch, where could he go? Suddenly a brilliant idea came to look behind the curtains ... My daughter was joking: imagine an ad in a newspaper - Zhorik ran away, a robot vacuum cleaner, a Nordic character, very young?

[/ quote] Girls, this is how Scuba washes the most interesting, and Rumba very carefully walks several times with his own and brushes (I call them helicopters), this is his side brush. In a day or two, near the legs of the sofa, my dog's hair accumulates, so after his activity there is cleanliness and order. We now use our hyla much less often and I also like what I like, apparently due to the rubber brush and the fact that Rumba moves across the roof in all directions, my pile on the carpet has risen, it's nice to step with your feet just like new

Please help, tell me which rumba to buy: I have a long-haired cat that sheds seasonally, but the cleaning area is small (about 30 m). Will rumba 531 cope with wool (I want to run it every other day or every day)? If you take rumba 564 special. for cleaning wool, the battery will not be completely discharged during cleaning and a "memory effect" will soon appear. Something I was completely at a loss: I want to buy rumba as soon as possible, and I'm afraid to be disappointed (it's my old dream to have a robot assistant in my house). Help me make the right choice !!!

Feel free to take 531, because on such an area Aerovac will not give any special advantages, and an additional wall is hardly useful to you. Regarding the memory effect - modern NiMh batteries are practically free from this drawback, the main thing is not to put them in 0, then the capacity is decently lost. By the way, do you really need a Wirth wall? It just differs from 521 model 531 in the presence of a wall and a replaceable filter, and the devices are identical in functionality and quality of cleaning. So take a closer look at 521 as well.

Andrey_robo, thank you very much for the quick response and for helping me to make the right choice. I'll take, perhaps, 521 models. Indeed, if there are doors, why do we need a vertical wall?

The iRobot Roomba® 532 Pet Series is a model for pet owners.

the set includes an additional container with a larger capacity and a set of additional brushes.

I think if a person asked about 531 and 564, then most likely he was considering a purchase in the Russian Federation, and the model you specified is not officially sold here.I already wrote about the advantages of Aerovack above - under the conditions set by the Selena S, it will only be more convenient in terms of cleaning. In any case, in case of urgent need it can be purchased separately - they are available in the Russian Federation.

[Andrey_robo]

Andrey_robo, the first thing the person wrote:

Please help, tell me which rumba to buy: I have a long-haired cat that sheds seasonally, but the cleaning area is small (about 30 m).

and I answered this question whether the model I officially indicated is sold in the Russian Federation - I have no idea. I have one, bought not from under the counter (in the evening I can write the name of the store). I have been using it for several years and I am satisfied

Also almost decided on 780, but my hands are itching to change the decision in favor of 564.
Area 90 and plus two practically residential loggias 15 and 10 squares. Two adults and two children, and chronic lack of sleep due to lack of time.
How to strangle your toad?

finally my nagging got my husband one of these days going to get the robot. I want to take 521 models, because the money was limited and given strictly for this model. Girls and boys tell me. We have a parrot that flies around the apartment almost all day. Naturally a lot of fluff and droppings. The area of ​​the apartment is about 52 sq. meters. Will the vacuum cleaner cope with this footage? Please respond. And then tomorrow I want to rush to buy I would be very grateful to everyone who responds.

Can handle 52 m2 without any problems!

The floor after him shines like washed. It's like he's rubbing it.

The first time after purchasing Rumba, we glided on the laminate as if on a skating rink, so much he rubbed the floor with his brushes!

I want such an assistant. On the site I saw Rumba-gold and silver. There is also ultraviolet treatment. Is it gray? Or officially imported. The daughter and niece were also interested, there are small children.
Girls and please tell me what kind of site it is with an obscene name e-wow, someone wrote what they ordered there.

Hello Lucha! I don’t know what "Rumba Gold and Silver" is, although I am selling them. Most likely it is

Chinese counterfeit for iRobot. If you are interested in the original products of the company, see their official website

irobot.com. The lineup has numeric indexes (the most popular models are 530, 560, 581, 780), not alphabetic ones.

Ibei is the world's largest trading platform, where you can buy any equipment, often for very
very good price. But there are also difficulties - to pay for
purchase, you will have to go through a rather tricky procedure for linking your card to the PayPal payment system, registration. More

you can become a victim of scammers (it happens there and this, I speak from my own experience) or a victim of a mistake. And the most important thing -

arrange home delivery.

If you are from Ukraine, I will help with the purchase, actual offers in the "Joint purchase" section of the Breadmaker forum.

Other equipment on the way (from the moment of ordering to its arrival to the apartment takes about 5 - 6 weeks). Come on

Ibei, compare prices, decide what is best for you.

Rumba 555 is the same 560, but without one virtual wall

🔗The scuba washes well, but does not take corners along the plinth. There nuna to walk with a rag. And needs more attention than Rumba

and here Mint - has significant advantages in relation to Scuba - much cheaper, does not spray water (parquet is not scary), care is elementary, real navigation (not like Airbot)

My head is already swelling from searching. I'm confused, sorry, it's Rob-zones with UV. I did not find information about him on our forum. Boom to seek. There is time for choice.

Hello everyone:). Don't know why mess with ebay? Computer universe. com - a store in Germany and for 18,000 (including EMC delivery) in your home in a week or two (it all depends on our Russian mail (there are no words about its work already ...) you will have a rumba 780 complete with lighthouses and additional brush-helicopters and filters.

Hello everyone:). Don't know why mess with ebay?

Rumba 780 is a cool thing, I checked the above words with the example of Rumba 581. So, the Germans have it for sale outside the country € 336.05 plus shipping to Ukraine € 26.55. It turns out 362.6 euros or 472 dollars.

Let's look at Ibei. 581 Rumba retails for US $ 299.00 (buy now, no auction). Shipping within the States is free. Delivery to Ukraine (the same carriers work in Russia) is about $ 50, that is, all together $ 350, $ 120 cheaper through Ibey than on a computer. So what's the catch?
With Rumba 780, the situation is a little better for the Germans - with delivery it comes out to $ 580, and through Ibei $ 650, that is, here the Americans lose $ 70. But there is a very weak choice on the computer - iRoomba has only some models

Today we went to Volgograd, to the nearest store, where, according to the Internet, we found aerobots. One demo model 555, for some reason cracks during operation, the seller assured that in fact it works quieter, just for 4 years of demonstration it was never cleaned: o There is one model 521 for sale, everything else is on order with 50% prepayment, delivery time is 2 weeks. Official dealer prices and service prices
nr in Moscow. Sorry for the wasted time. I will search through the Internet, though I have never bought it, something is scary.
Alya, did you buy anything there? It's just that 780 is 2 times cheaper.

[fogee]

fogee, the joke is in 780 rumba. The rest did not compare. I gave an example here so that people know that there is such an opportunity to buy rumba with ems delivery for 18,000, and not for 30,000 in Russia. If the husband also has hands from where it is necessary to grow, then the amount of information is sufficient in case of necessary repairs. And so I believe in the long and reliable operation of the vacuum cleaners of this company and do not agree to buy them in Russia at ridiculous prices. You seem to agree with me on this.
Lucha, I bought on a computer. not in germany. Kidalov is gone. The packaging is superb. True, it is advised to buy at least a USB flash drive in the kit to the rumba, so that it can be packed in one more common box. I ordered a rechargeable phillips. I collect crumbs for them, I vacuum the car, sand at the door, sometimes I clean the rumba inside))). In general, I am very happy! And many on my advice too.
P.s. I ordered a mint from eBay. But there is a separate fable and song about him))). So don't think that I am a great fan of this particular German store.

I decided on 780 from Germany. But I have no foreign currency account, only a salary card. In these matters, I have not even grown to a teapot. How to register and pay there? Somehow I came across a topic on the forum about shopping on foreign sites, I can't find it. And another question, does the 780 do well with cat hair?

I absolutely agree - both in Ukraine and in Russia the prices of the officials are breathtaking and arrogant. Therefore, I buy myself on Ibei. And I offer others products from there - taking into account all the additional costs, it still turns out to be much cheaper than from the officials!

And I once did not know how and was even afraid to shop abroad. But this winter I was impatient to write a roster from Germany. I opened the Viza card first. Then I made an order on a foreign website and at the same time registered my card with PayPal. The merchant then sent an invoice for payment and PayPal asked to verify their card.3 days after confirmation, I was able to pay for the item, and the seller immediately sent me my order. Paypal guarantees the protection of your rights and money, so there is no risk here.

I bought on a computer. not in germany. Kidalov is gone. The packaging is superb.

and in Germany the same voltage 220 V as ours?

I advise you to buy at least a USB flash drive in a set to the rumba, so that you can pack it in one more common box.

large packaging? will fit a lot in one box?

and in Germany the same voltage 220 V as ours? large packaging? will fit a lot in one box?

yes 220 V

I was also asked about the cordless vacuum cleaner, which I bought there as an appendage to Rumba. Links are forbidden, so google on the Russian-language site of the company Phillips for such a mockery of PHillips. Powerful vacuum cleaner MiniVac. I don’t remember his numbers. Phillips' website is called that.

By the way, people - somebody has experience of automatic cleaning with Rumba 780 3-room apartment of about 80sq. m with two bathrooms and a common corridor? Rumba will be charging in one of the rooms. As far as I understand, 2 beacons are not enough and I ordered 2 more beacons. I am going to install beacons in the aisles to the rooms from the corridor (3 rooms + kitchen), and just leave the bathrooms open - they are small, he should not get lost there.
Do you think such a concept will work?

Interestingly, interestingly, I went to the computer universe to see what happened with the dispatch of the goods, and there the price of Rumvu780 increased from 419 to 445, but not available. Did we contribute?
