We have a flat and almost everywhere ca.84qm light gray porcelain floor is laid, except in the toilet and in the bathroom, there are dark soils.
In addition, we have various sized Nepal carpets in the apartment, which partly have fringes and CA are 1.5cm high.
So the Roomba comes easily clear it sucks the Nepal carpets very thorough and you can see later, the running pattern in the carpet.
For me, a beautiful sight. However Robbi sucks very thorough and takes also substance off the carpet, so that the rugs are thinner over time. But this is at a vacuum cleaner herkömmmlichen no different. At some point there is then just once a new carpet.
The fringes are thoroughly dusted, but of course he does not set the fringes again properly cope but Everts you ever order.
The Roomba is living with us under a chair stool in the living room (30 square meters), where it is inconspicuous, because the living room he comes most used.
We have the charger fixed with some double-sided tape, because the Roomba otherwise tends to shift the charging station and ultimately no longer clean einparkt for charging.
It's awesome when crumbs lying on the carpet, just let go Robbi briefly with the (additional purchased) radio remote control to the table,
everything is clean again. This is also fun! Earlier I dragged for such a use the big vacuum cleaner from the cleaning cupboard right across the apartment, cable had to unwinding and winding, put the right suction cup and destroy once neatly with Barney the cozy atmosphere, when I did not want the crumbs in the Tepppich be entered. Since Robbie is much easier to handle, it's faster and it's not as loud.
When we did turn the first laps the Roomba, he gained full 2x the container before it was finished. And, although I sucked every day.
My enthusiasm knew no limits, especially as we have in the living room sofas under the the problems coming and will be cleaned thoroughly every day there. After his thorough initial cleaning, it became less and less often necessary to empty the container of the Roomba.
In the living room, he runs almost every day, in the adjoining rooms and the corridor every 2-3 days.
Meanwhile, once a week is usually sufficient for a general overhaul. The supplied cleaning tools are really very useful.
Cons:
-especially Long hair for the Roomba a problem, as he winds up on the brush, and ultimately will be unable to move, so he once again calls shortly after the start after his dock, he consumes his strength very quickly when a lot of hair has wound up.
That is my biggest drawback for the otherwise wonderful device, because I'm actually in the conflict, hairs in the bathroom rather Extra suck away, otherwise Robbi again needs to be serviced.
The maintenance of the Roomba is relatively easy, but the best one has then the big vacuum cleaner at hand, lest the whole collected particulate matter is distributed again. The container I usually empty directly into the dustbin outside because the fine dust when shaking in the apartment is otherwise redistributed. The Hepa filter and the container I suck clean, as the dust that collects around the brush around to dust small firecrackers.
In addition, I take wet wipes without alcohol to the Flexi brush to clean because most tidy black dirt remains in the cloth. (And I clean the floors regularly)
Likewise, I clean with wipes the sensors, so that the good Robbi continue the dirt well can "see".
So the Roomba is a day off, but he takes me the annoying daily by eye from, because the porcelain floors you see unfortunately now are any dust, especially in the evenings on the sofa caught my always in the eye when the light effects illuminate the room beautifully and unfortunately then the dust on the floor and even though I had not been vacuumed. That is now history.
-He Is indeed quieter than a conventional vacuum cleaner, but the sound is still not pleasant.
Nevertheless you can stay in the same room without the crisis to get. However, you can hear him in the next room, so our test was the Roomba to leave at night to suck the living eye simply give back because we were next door to hear him clearly in the bedroom.
I have the impression that he has become louder within a year, but that may be due to my now drenched ears.
- The space detection works, I have the impression Robbi was effective over time, as he drove off the premises.
However, the function is not much use if you changed in the premises objects, z.Bsp. Chairs different hinstellt or summer tower fans
establishes and often rearranging.
- The Leittürme are batteries eater, but even more so the additional purchasable remote control 600 (which used to it), which I think is a necessary for us, but expensive additional purchase because you Robbie only with this remote control closed well under furniture or behind doors can remotely control.
- An additional side brush would make sense, because although the Roomba can edit only one vertex (argument of the manufacturer), yes, but it can do much more dust herbürsten to him and suck when he herholt same dust on both sides.
- The Roomba takes in air and pushes it back out again, which leads sometimes that he back out blowing dust in corners, where he where he is but will not grab or Been.
- ** HEPA filters are in place, but that's no help for people with allergies, because afterwards one has to the pollen / dust out the shake out of the receptacle and the device was in my field trial (see below) over and above full of pollen.
PLUSES:
+ For almost a year Robbi is used virtually every day and he runs and sucks and sucks and runs without problems with the battery, the power or excessive wear. Only if he has a lot of hair wound, he calls again very soon for the charging station, but when you release him from his hair, he rushes off again.
+ A real quality of life improvement: I have not even vacuuming !!!
Robbi sucks very thorough, much more thoroughly than a human hand. Sure, he does this ultimately as a main occupation, but it is constructed. Mir is not really matter if he takes longer zigzag moves or not, because the main thing is that I have of the cheek.
I usually let him room by room work spaces obstacles (which takes less than two minutes), Skidder chairs (chair) so that it easily
go anywhere and'm off.
After baking and cooking I do not even own suck, but set the Roomba to the kitchen Click on Clean and open the door from the outside.
That's just great! Robbi throws the fine magnifying glass and green delt from the kitchen like a catfish aquarium.
I can long put your feet and have a coffee, then I wipe (yet) by hand. But when the Scooba has improved in development, will also help with us and wipe up wet. However, the development seems to take a while.
+ Since Robbi also works in the dark must also be started no light. This is not so with other manufacturers.
+ For all the fixed times have where they are not at home, the programming function is very useful and it works great.
We have two hours programmed. Otherwise I turn Roomba rather flexible as needed.
+ At 84 square meters, it sucks all the rooms on a single charge, the living room, he creates sometimes only half, depending on how much dust and dirt he had to work in the other rooms. He finds his way independently through all the rooms when I auflasse him the doors, even without Leittürme and although our apartment has hardly a right angle.
+ The virtual towers are very helpful, we use them mostly as a virtual wall around objects and spaces delineate. However, the large living room, we share more, if only one side of the room is in need.
+ Robbi fights almost out everywhere and pushes even sometimes an office chair gently on the side. Emphasis is on gentle, because usually he drives very cautiously to objects. When he ascends almost unrestrained rarely on something it's up to me, because I have asked him something in the way, where nothing previously stood. I have rarely experienced that he has stuck to, for example, when he lost contact with the ground or he firmly drove under a chest of drawers. But these are slightly out of the world to be cleared traps.
He also drove over thicker cables have problems about it, when cable nests but he can hang also. This was a good opportunity for us to have such a cable nests disappear, what looks better anyway visually.
Robbi depends on, warns a spoken note, after which the unit switches itself off. I think that's a good solution.
+ In the spring I made the tough test with Robbi and let him suck pollen on our finest interasse. Also on the Kettler table.
The Robbi has mastered perfectly with permanently-powered magnifying glass dust, but I then had a lot of yellow on the device and its cracks and had to
then thoroughly clean it, but the field test was worth it to me. Robbi had all pollen in the stomach and the terrace was clean. **
+ Stairs and abysses he recognizes as reliable as its Leittürme. However, I must say that I use the towers almost exclusively as a virtual wall and not as a control system.
+ Robbi draws in air and purified in this way the complete air in a room. I always feel that the air is dusted when I enter the room again. It is also significantly less dust on the shelves and on the cabinets since Robbi is with us.
CONCLUSION: Robbi Roomba 780 does not replace completely a normal vacuum cleaner, but almost. It facilitates the daily life as well as a washing machine and a dishwasher, for me, this is a future standard equipment in every household, I hope prices will fall even more and the quality continues to rise. I did not want to live without him, because the dust exposure in the home is a total was considerably reduced and more clearly running around my workload with a vacuum cleaner. While I was writing the review here Robbi has vacuumed the entire apartment, including the living room. It is just awesome!
