iRobot Roomba 550 with Aero-vac
Published (2009-11-27 11:10:00)
I now use a Li-ION pack which is good for 2+ hours. My 400 series red will clean my 4 room downstairs which is about 900 sqft without VWs. When I had a 3000mah NIMH, the same was true when the battery was new but after a year or so it wouldn't clean 4 rooms. The same is true for my upstairs, a Li=ION pack will clean 4 bedrooms and two bathrooms.

There is only one option, enter a delay in hours for up to 23 hours. The Robovac will clean when the delayed time passed. I do not think that it will do it on a daily basis, rather than only once (at least the manual does not refer to such function, neither I could see any option on my unit). As I mentioned...

To test that concept, it would be useful for you to study Dajiu's process for taking a 550 apart .

tChibo?
Published (2009-11-26 13:18:00)
The tChibo is also worded as the Reinigungsroboter in Germany because it is/was manufactured and sold by a German coffee chain. I would suggest going to German eBay if you would like a Reinigungsroboter. There they're being sold for about EUR 7.50. -cleanmateroomba

Some dis-assembly will be required but you might be able to accomplish the task. You want to order the Bumper Actuating Arm/Optical Sensor set.

Hmmm.. A definate for sure! After that, I have !! I mean, I would have 'thought' it would have been more intelligent than the Roomba with the mapping. Guess a lot of people were wrong. Did you by chance try to run it twice to see if it just had a bad 'run' ?? Roomba has a 'random' pattern, and it knows when it's stuck and uses other algorithms to try to free itself.

You are right there. For example; when one wheel is on the carpet and the other is on hard floor, robot is sometimes skating and loosing it's path. I think; the less weight causes the more slide on wheels especially when the wheels are on different surfaces. At this time, wheels may need to modify.

I have a quick question. Did any hair get wrapped around the brush during your test runs? Since you say you don't recommend and it doesn't meet your requirements, are you going to pull the product?

Most of us ( Old Timer) Scooba owners charge the battery and then remove it from the robot until the next cleaning mission. I don't understand the need to discharge your batteries. Just store them after you have topped them off and use then on the next mission. I have 5 of the 5900 Scoobas that I rotate the batteries in.

1) Have you verified the caster wheel spins freely on its axle? 2) Have you allowed this fault to go on long enough for Roomba to issue an error notice? 3) Is 510 still under warranty? 4) If (3) is NO, you can run a 5XX's built-in-tests.

Hi there, you can go as low as $100 if you want a robotic vacuum. But you will not be happy with those. If there is animals you need good suction and a robot, which does not "cough" with all that hair. We would not recommend the 53X models, since we and a lot of Customers did not have good experiences with those. If you don't want to spend a lot of money but want to have something which lasts...

A simple thing to check is 'bumper-parts dragging on chassis parts. IOW, when holding the robot in mission orientation and you slowly push in on the offending end of the bumper-shell, will the return spring force the shell forward when released? If not, look for drag points within the 'bot. Sometimes a little tweak while torquing screws as the bumper-shell is bolted back in place will put things ...

iRobot usually does not want your old Roomba back for warranty replacement. What is the problem with your 530? Is iRobot paying the shipping? Are they sending you a complete Roomba with wheels, CHM and dust bin etc? If you are not clear what iRobot is sending you, you should call them again and ask.

Not to be nasty or anything, but can you explain what that would add? In today's scenario, you have to push the button before going to work. With a scheduler, you push a button, it counts down and then it starts. You will still have to do the exact same preparations and the result when you get home after work would be the exact same, or am I missing something? I only have two scheduled roombas ...

Is you Roomba 530 beeps twice after running 2 minutes and stop? Remove the dust bin and send your Roomba on a mission. Look from the back. Is the brush turning? The problem is at the cleaning head module. If you own your Roomba less than 1 year, call the iRobot for warranty replacement.

Richard, your Roomba is a prime candidate for running the Built In Tests to help you determine what is at fault.
