Rumba - robot vacuum cleaner for dry cleaning

Tovarischi! Has anyone bought a battery for Rumba on ebe? Share your experience, pliz. If possible, step by step. In advance - senks!

maybe someone experienced will take the trouble to make a shopping guide on e-bay and computeruniverse?
and then they often began to ask suborb questions

Then someone complains that the rumba does not bring money. So it is necessary to send him to earn extra money to the neighbors with hourly rent. An ad can be given with the following content: "A hardworking calm employee is rented for a short-term hourly lease, the main thing is not to get confused under his feet, and you are guaranteed to have shiny clean floors."

In Temko about steam generators, one girl swore at Rumba. From her post, we can conclude that all the owners of this miracle technique are dirty. Personally, I got a different impression, before you hait you need to carefully read the instructions and at least know the dimensions of the vacuum cleaner and, so to speak, contraindications,
where you can use it and where not.
Let them scold. For me, this is a wonderful helper in my daily cleaning. Large vacuum cleaner for upholstered furniture and walls. The boy copes with everything else

In Temko about steam generators, one girl swore at Rumba.

So her claims there, how to put it mildly, are unfounded. She needs it to go under the refrigerator and under the wall. Interestingly, when she washes the floor with a vacuum cleaner or a mop every day, does she also wash it under the refrigerator? And the child does not ride it. So all the girls with small children go for a walk and turn it on. As a last resort, you can clean up by room. I always do that. I wanted to answer her there, but did not clog the topic. Girls. Who has not decided yet. Ask. I've been living with Rumbochka for a year. I am happy to answer your questions.

no, I won't hait, but ... rumbic will not replace a full-fledged cleaning! all the same, once every one or two weeks it is necessary to "wave" in the corners with an ordinary vacuum cleaner. if you have a dance class, that is, the floor is generally empty, then the rumbik is great! but if this is an ordinary apartment, with bedside tables, beds, tables / chairs / armchairs and other rubbish, then of course it will be hard for the rumbik to satisfy the hostess with claims. Rumbic personally helps me in daily cleaning so that dust does not collect in whole skeins (where it comes from - fig knows it ...). I run one room at a time - cleanliness is guaranteed, except for hard-to-reach places.
dreaming of washing robots, but not having a robot for dry cleaning - think about whether you need this, because washing robots will not solve the problem with unwashed corners either.

so no one argues with this, I already can't live without it, I take out my usual one as needed, when I can and every day, and so 1-2 times a month

And I have all the furniture on wheels. Except cabinets and kitchen units. I take the chairs and stools out of the room he is currently cleaning. Of course, I do not postpone everything every day. But once every 2-3 weeks I move all the furniture (chair, table, computer table, sofa) and the room is cleaned in two passes. First, the place where this furniture stood, and then the middle of the room. And the son's room is the same. But I do not move everything every day. And he is removed from me every day. And he always finds dirt. Especially in the kitchen and hallway. It removes all the sand from the street.
I have no carpets. Therefore, there is only wet cleaning behind it. And that's all.

And for more than two years the foot of an ordinary vacuum cleaner has not stepped into my apartment. To help Rumbik, there is only a small vacuum cleaner on the battery. And, I dare to assure you, I am clean (kitchen, hallway, corridor, bathroom, toilet-white glossy tiles). Rumbik is launched every day, and I run after it with fiber cloths.

Gentlemen-tovarischi!
I will allow myself to intervene as one of the most obsolete owners of Rumba robots. Or rather, the latest non-Russian-speaking model.
Today I tampered with a beautifully feminine justification "I have a beautiful Persian cat, after which beauty in half an hour the brushes are up to their ears at six ... And here ... there is half an hour, and the beauty of Backusik on the brushes ... like in the Egyptian Olesian woman ... And the brushes click ... here and there ... "
In a week, there will be a result ... either Rumbik should be changed, or Backusika ... Backusic relatives will not be given back ...

Flood. When my daughter was about eight years old, upon arrival home, her grandmother rushed to her ... the daughter pushed her grandmother aside and said:
- LEAVE !!! DO NOT HINDER YOUR JOY NATIVE CAT !!!

The daughter is far from eight years old ... already even seventeen ... about her relationship with her grandmother - a question under discussion ... But Backusik ... just like her own cat !!!

When Becky was brought in as a kitten, my daughter burst into tears, how could she be without mom and dad ... Well, then we explained to her that now we are her foster family ... My daughter calmed down ...

Now I come home from work, and my daughter shouts through the door:
- Becky !!! Becky !!! Our mom came home from work !!!

My Rumba, vascheto, is older than Shpilkina. True, the last year has been resting ... The wheel needs to be changed and the battery ...

Hrithik, if you can buy on, I'm not afraid of this word ibey, then there is as much as a lego for rumbicof, I thought the battery comes out 30 ye, the filters came in 5 bucks and 8 shipping - 5 pieces (considering that the manufacturer recommends changing it once at 3 months, and I will be at 4 for a long time).

I also bought these filters when I bought a vacuum cleaner ... So I never changed. I washed it a couple of times.
I’m not afraid of this word, I’ve already looked at spare parts, but while the whole house is filled with toys from my grandson, I can vacuum faster with an ordinary vacuum cleaner. In the future, I want to have another vacuum cleaner, like, Neato, to vacuum faster.

[Hairpin!]

Hairpin! your vacuum cleaner is about 3 years old?

Even a little more ... four years. I have already changed the battery ... Now we need to change the Scuba battery ... I understand that the battery is about two years old ...

Hello!
If you buy on Amazon, will you just need to buy an adapter?

[WHAT]

Hello!
If you buy on Amazon, will you just need to buy an adapter?

Not important, WHERE buy, it is important WHAT buy. In other words, whether at home or on Amazon you need to buy with a 220 V power supply.

Or solder two capacitors in the power supply - work for 5 minutes.

Or solder two capacitors in the power supply - work for 5 minutes.

There is only one capacitor !!!

I don’t argue, I don’t remember exactly. But you need to change two elements, I remember that

Here: "The most profitable way to buy an iRobot Roomba in America is through resellers, but you must not forget that in America there is 110 volt and a different standard of power plug. Fortunately, the Roomba power supply is easily converted for our network - you need to change two penny parts (capacitor 47mF 200v should be replaced with 47mF 400v, 275v varistor should be replaced with 400-450v) and plug replaced. "

It's true!

Soooo, took apart the power supply, found the capacitor.
And where is this same varistor? These little blue figs? RV1 or CY1

please help a newbie)
if the base is in the room, but I only need to clean the kitchen. I close the door, locking the rumba there, and at the end of cleaning it will stop by itself? and what to do for him to go to the base? carry yourself?
(rumba 780)

I carefully watched the video recommended by lesik_l.
Obviously not all corners in the room were cleaned. Some places were traversed a million times, and some parts of the room did not reach at all, did not touch.

I have a 5th series: if he finished cleaning, he goes to the base himself, but if in the process the battery runs out, it stops and informs about the need to charge it. the smaller the space for cleaning, the cleaner the rumbic cleans - I also lock it in every room

... and in order for him to go to the base, that is, change the cleaning mode to the base search mode, you need to press something ... I don't remember which button, but his eyes should open to search for the base ...

I also lock it in every room

are you carrying the base to this room?

A little differently than everyone advises.

1. The answer to the first question is yes - after cleaning it will stop by itself.
2. It is not clear from the description whether the vacuum cleaner was carried to the kitchen in the hands or left from the base. Series 5 for sure, I think that all iRobot products return to the base only if they started from there. In addition, if the beacon is not turned on (therefore it is also called a coordinator), then the robot will get lost and will not be able to reach the base on its own. And most importantly, someone else needs to open that very kitchen door. Thus, it will not be possible to get around without human participation. The only option in these conditions is to put one beacon on the kitchen doors (it will not release the robot until the end of cleaning), and the second beacon in the virtual wall mode (and, if necessary, other improvised means, such as mops, boards, cabinets, etc.) ) block access to all other rooms. After that, from the base tell him "Fas!" "Cleen!"

are you carrying the base to this room?

Is it a very important question for you that it was the CAM robot that returned to the base?

Is it a very important question for you that it was the CAM robot that returned to the base?

no, it doesn't matter if he stops himself after cleaning.
Today it was like this: the vacuum cleaner left the base in the room, went to the kitchen. They closed the kitchen door, he rode there for about half an hour. The inscription "dock" appeared (the battery was green). They opened the kitchen door and he himself came to the base in the room.

And I don't follow mine now, wanders around the apartment by myself ...We do not even notice him, one might say ... Cleans up every other day. Quite decently, clean. I'm glad.

... and in order for him to go to the base, that is, change the cleaning mode to the base search mode, you need to press something ... I don't remember which button, but his eyes should open to search for the base ...

I press one big button - the rumbic creeps to clean and when it finishes, it looks for the base itself. maybe he is very polite?

are you carrying the base to this room?

I start cleaning from the room where the base lives. if time permits, I put the base in the doorway and leave the rumbika to work, and then I drag this couple into the next room. if there is no base in a closed room, then the rumbic will not go to open the door and look for your house. I trust my rumbic, so I leave him in the room alone with the base - they themselves will figure out when to finish the process

Girls, I don’t understand something - why drag the base behind the rumba? He himself will return to it when he considers that he has removed or when there is not enough charge left ...

to carry the base solely in order to reduce the area of ​​the one-time cleaned space! that is, if I leave the base behind a closed door in the next room, then the rumbic will either be cleaned until it turns blue until the batteries run out, or it will stand in the middle of the room and have to be dragged to the base in my arms. it is easier to transfer the base, and the rumbic will come to it itself
and if I start the rumbik on a free hike throughout the apartment, with all the nooks and crannies, then he will die a death of the brave from exhaustion, leaving behind a heap of uncleared garbage

and the rumbic does not go to the base when there is little charge left! he goes there when he is sure that the cleaning is over! and if the batteries run out, he will stop in the most unexpected place and will wait when he is looked after

On the contrary, I always end up with the room where the base is. I have enough charge just for an apartment (44 sq. M.). May not be enough only if the kitchen or hallway is very dirty. And I run it there several times. Here's how it goes. Sometimes I carry handles to the base. In general, it has a DOCK button (parking). Drag it into the room with the base and press this button. He will sit at the base himself. Or give him access to the database.

Well, actually, if the area of ​​the apartment corresponds to the model of the robot, then the charge should be enough for a complete cleaning of the apartment. Well, or yes, clean up in parts, that is, in rooms ...

: hi: Good afternoon to you !!!
I've been sick with Rumbik for two years already)))) But the question is still ripe.
Tell me, for cleaning the apartment in which the periodically shedding calm Rottweiler and the long-haired me (also shedding occasionally) lives: which model will cope with the work and not bite too much at the price. And another question for owners of large (about 50-60 kg) pets: Don't they hunt for Rumbik, aren't they afraid? In principle, we will solve the second question in any case, just curious how yours react?

I’m not big. 14 kg. Hunting. But she's an English cocker spaniel. She's supposed to hunt. I close it in the room.It's still more convenient for me to clean up by room. Even the cat got in the way. 5 kg live weight. The robot rested against it, decided that it was an obstacle and went around. Therefore, I close both.
Which robot to buy depends on the area to be cleaned.

Which robot to buy depends on the area to be cleaned.

We have a kopeck piece. I want an assistant to clean her. Does the truth no longer depend on other parameters? That is, wool is not wool - all the same?
... I read my questions - I felt like a fool)) That's what it means to not understand technology.

No, everything is important! If there are animals, it matters what kind of wool they have. While our cat had short hair, the Rumba 560 did a great job. Now our Scottish Fold is specifically matured and the wool is falling from it like the needles of a dried Christmas tree. Specifically, the bearings and the gearbox are clogged. I do it with frequent cleaning, but will you bother with it? Better to immediately take Nito or Rumba pet series.

My cat settled down near the battery to sleep and is now shedding heavily (British). The coat, although not very long, is a lot. It is necessary to clean all bearing brushes after every two cleanings. Otherwise, the rumba swears and knocks. But in time it is already 5 minutes a week - not difficult.

ours sheds so much that the wool penetrates right into the gearbox. It hurts the ear very much, if you start the process strongly - an unpleasant crack is heard during operation. Exit - or Rumba of the next generations, or Nito

I’m thinking of buying an air car when it’s time to change the brushes - it seems to have a more thought-out system for collecting dust and wool directly from the brushes. I saw it on e-buy for $ 39. It seems that he is suitable for the 5th series.
And so, after all, it is better to take the 6th series already, they are already equipped with this device.

it is, of course, better, but the same model that I have (560) in the 6th series oh-ho, how much it costs. I'd rather take Nito 21. No gearboxes or bearings! That is, probably, they are out there somewhere, but do not make themselves felt in any way

And Nito, in comparison with the point, they say, works very loudly and loses in the absence of a side brush? no?

And Nito, in comparison with the point, they say, works very loudly and loses in the absence of a side brush? no?

it's true, but that's not all. In general, we have been discussing this for a long time both here and in my thread, you will not remember everything right away. My rumba during its life also became quite loud - bearings and gears were broken. And there are several components to the causes of Nito's noise, one of which is the silicone brush. If you replace it with bristly (like in Nito-21), the noise will decrease.

The side brush is of course a drawback. But the "dead" area is only 1-2 cm (Nito's main brush is much wider than the Rumb's). A more powerful Rumbov turbine pulls in dust anyway. And, of course, any rumbo- (nit-) water sooner or later acquires Mint and the problem of dust at the baseboard simply disappears.

When I bought my Rumba, Nito (even the simplest ones) were very expensive.Now the Nito flagship is significantly cheaper than the Rumba flagship. I'm thinking about buying a pair of Nito 21 for my Rumba 560. Then I will make the most of the positive aspects of both.

Sasha, please excuse me for the remark, but all the positive properties of Nito are simply killed by the complete lack of service and spare parts in Ukraine. There is some kind of support with Rumba, but where to go in case of problems with this brand? Moreover, this device is an order of magnitude more sophisticated than rumba and, accordingly, a larger number of nodes can break there

it's true, I agree. Yes, Nito has a much more complex device. Everything else is relative. How are iRobot services spread? Not in my city, but this is the regional center. Hence, in the entire region, no. But there are craftsmen who can fix it. Subject to the availability of technical documentation and spare parts in the internet. Rumba in this respect is actually very maintainable. With Nito, there is simply no repair experience (that means something too). And spare parts can be bought for any brand (in America). Then only life will judge what is better repaired. Actually, I am not campaigning against the rhumb, I myself use it with pleasure. I'm campaigning for Nito because he is also a good robot.

Hello everyone . Today I ordered Rumba 650, Now I'm waiting, I'm worried. On another site I saw 3700 cheaper, but there prepayment and delivery are paid. It's scary to take on prepayment, you never know, the money is not small.

My rumbic has been working for a month. I was one of the skeptics, but this is something. Cleanliness, beauty, free time.

The mother-in-law even asked how much one cleaning would cost, I thought and said - dear to you, mom remembered all her studs that well them

And then I remembered a joke about the Jewish Little Red Riding Hood

Sarah sends her daughter to her grandmother:
- Listen, Little Red Riding Hood! You will go to your grandmother and take the pies. Just go straight, don't turn off. You will see the house, you will call three times. Dad's mom - grandmother Leia will tell you. Will tell you how hard life has become, the pension is small, electricity has risen in price. Do not listen, stand your ground - With cabbage for five, with meat for fifteen!
