IRobot Roomba 880 Robot Vacuum Reviews

Virtues

  • Reasonableness of design in terms of service. You can not learn anything, but stupidly click on the highlighted yellow elements.
  •  
  • Not very high noise level (expected more noise).
  •  
  • A set of accessories, limiters from the manufacturer. Magnetic tapes in some other robots seem to me not too comfortable.
  •  
  • Separate Respect for Virtual Halo to protect animal feeders. Put the cat in the middle of his plastic table between the bowls. Works!
  •  
  • Automatic switching on / off of the Lighthouse and Virtual Halo by the robot itself (for older models) is super!
  •  
  • The remote control in the kit is great if the robot lives in a hard-to-reach place.

disadvantages

  • When in base mode, charging sometimes starts ticking. In the evening and at night, this tick attracts attention. Judging by the forums, this is such a constructive feature of the charging mode. So, for example, a place in the bedroom under the bed he ordered.
  •  
  • There is some illogic in controlling the movement with the remote control. When you want to carry out a robot in a difficult place or just take it to another room, then he walks along the clods of the remote control and cleans the way. But once you release the button, it stops and waits for the command. It would be better to stay in the mode that was before the activation of the movement with the remote control.
  •  
  • The complete IR remote control for RF models is a bit of a bang.

Comment
I was pleasantly pleased with less noise than I expected from the result of watching videos on youtube and reading reviews.

It is neatly furnished with furniture, but there is an assumption that the active pushing of furniture, which some owners say, is connected only with black / thin furniture.

With the correct arrangement of two complete Lighthouse retracts in my three-room apartment everywhere and he wanders to the base. But it all depends on the layout and coatings (I only arket / tile).

He gets out of the wires, the laces do not chew, and the clothes on the floor I do not roll :)

I read in the reviews that the clothes dryer to him like an anti-hedgehog. I confirm. I only got stuck on it and called for help.

The trash container is easy to clean, no problems.

The brushes after cleaning are pristine clean, but I only have a cat out of long-haired :) A few hairs are stuck in the sidewalls of the brushes, but this is a place for routine maintenance and once a month I can not go there with my volume of garbage.

Virtual Halo has one ill-considered moment (as a result of thoughtful, and). It comes with a complete rubber boot. Given its regular placement at the bowls - Respect designers. But here the indicator light of the device operation covers it. That is, there is a chance to prokarauli moment of discharge. And the robot polkomitaya delicious dry cat food and, less funny, can overturn the drinker.

Pre-read all reviews on ixbt and habrahabr. The forum on rhomb / scuba there is already close to five hundred pages.Half, I just mastered :)

To be honest, I’m still not sure that Neato XV-21 / Botvac-80/85 wouldn’t have pleased me more. But he was oriented, nevertheless, on reliability and trouble-free. For the sweeper, these qualities are more important than intelligence. Probably :)

Virtues

  • Excellent cleans! Powerfully sucks :) Easily overcomes the thresholds and climbs on the carpets. Perfectly vacuuming these same carpets.

disadvantages

  • I would add intelligence :) + the battery is more powerful a little more + the base would make it heavier.

Comment
I do not know how others, but even with the purchase, I did not expect such speed and thoroughness from the robot vacuum cleaner. Of course, this unit is designed for daily maintenance of cleanliness in the apartment. This is not a cleaning company, as some people think, which came into your home to clean up the mega-super-duper trash after the party :) This is a device for people who like a clean floor without a mote and hairs, and it copes well with this, if you clean daily or every other day. Plus, this is a great mood for all households, because no need to argue who will be vacuuming. True, at first, we ourselves followed him along with the whole crowd and watched. It is always fascinating when someone else works :)

Virtues

  • suction power, on one charge removed 115m.

disadvantages

  • Brownian motion, does not see the virtual walls

Comment
Yesterday I heard from the seller the opinion that the bad reviews about their vacuum cleaners are written by competitors. I am not a competitor, yesterday I bought this miracle of technology to replace the LG VR5905LM, which was taken under warranty, since it was charged one time, but today I’m writing is not too good, but, I think, an objective and comparative review. Honestly, the feeling of buying is ambivalent. On the one hand, where it passes, it removes everything qualitatively, LG has left it a little, BUT navigation in it is at the same level as that of a vacuum cleaner is twice as cheap. For both robots, the main problem is 40m. a room with an island, with a corner sofa in the middle on flat legs, through which they both shuffle, with stones in a niche, which LG modestly drove around and occasionally had to be rescued, and iRobot for the first cleaning had already 6 times gone there the greyhound drove and, stuck, shouted about Error number 1, while for some reason he doesn’t see two virtual walls near the stones (this is also a question and you have to go find out to the seller). They both clean the dining group with 16 legs somehow: iRobot is therefore stronger, it moves the chairs, the faster they get out and run away. LG didn’t have enough power to move the chairs, so he spent more time fornication in them and, accordingly, cleaned them a little better there, iRobot had to be dragged back under the table. The island in the kitchen area is both ignored :) he dragged this one to him, too, only after that both cleaned around the island and free space in the center of the room.
He cleans small rooms well, goes from room to room and without door sensors, did not find the base, was discharged. As a result, the apartment is clean, but you cannot call it self-cleaning; you need to save it from stones and transfer it to insufficiently cleaned areas.
I sit and think, maybe LG should have taken again? After all, it is necessary to control the quality of cleaning in both, so I talked, taught how to clean, and I also teach this Pacilis, LG left little more garbage, but it costs twice as cheap.
I put 3 *, because the price of iRobot is clearly too high, it would be cheaper to put 4 *.

Virtues

  • Well removes smooth surfaces. Sophisticated design. Convenient to clean and maintain. Beautiful appearance. Does not fall down the steps. Finds a base on a one-two. The battery is just bottomless (enough for 100 sq. M. Cleaning and still remains).

disadvantages

  • The shiny and dark body is instantly covered with dust and scratches. Muddled movement of the premises. Do not predict where it is removed, and where it will slip past. I would like the cleaning to be carried out from the base, or for example near the lighthouses. But in fact it can turn on and fly to the other end of the apartment. Hammers on furniture with a run. Almost does not clean carpets.In the silence is heard that the base beeps loudly. Overpriced.

Comment
Tired of fighting dust in a bachelor apartment. This is my first vacuum cleaner robot. I read the reviews, because none of the relatives owns such a vacuum cleaner. So, comment.
Firstly - before you let him get out, you need not only to remove everything from the floor, but also to analyze the stability of individual furniture elements. After knocking down several antique floor lamp. A light flower stand with a vase on top is the most dangerous element of the interior! He took down the stand, broke the vase, swallowed water. Water leaked to the neighbors !!! After drying, the vacuum cleaner started working again. Chairs are not very heavy construction easily chases around the room.
Secondly, the carpets are terra incognita. The vacuum cleaner most often perceives the edge of the carpet as a corner of the furniture and bypasses the carpet along the contour. I clean the carpets separately, with a regular vacuum cleaner.
Thirdly, about the good. Laminate, tile, and similar surfaces almost lick. Footprints of course remain, but there is no dust or sand at all. It goes well in the corners. Nice cleanliness! In wires or threads never got tangled. The legs of clothesline drying are slipping like Chapaev on horseback. Easy to clean container and rollers. Easy to program. Not noisy.

Virtues

  • Brushes easier to peel off

disadvantages

  • Chaotic, you need to arrange the lighthouses and change the battery in them, it does not retract near the lighthouses, it’s noisy, it hits the furniture hard, it leaves uncleaned places, the hair is still wound on the axes of the brushes and wound much, the battery is too high

Comment
This is my third robot dust. At first there was a 500th series rumba. The battery died in a year, the new cost as much as half a vacuum cleaner. A simple Chinese analogue was bought for replacement, it worked no worse, but also died six months later, broke down, and we have no service for Chinese robots.
Here we bought rumba 880. What can I say? In general, the manufacturer hangs noodles on the ears and that's all. What is the power there increased 5 times? The motor costs the same power, see, 5 times according to the manufacturer. All the same as in the 500th series and sucks as weakly. This is an electrobroom, not a vacuum cleaner. It is easier to clean the brushes, I do not argue, but the hair is also wound in the same way, especially on the brush axis. We had to buy another lighthouse coordinator, two in the kit was not enough. So I bought the most expensive robot, and I also have to buy additional components. The robot is very noisy, it is impossible to wash the dust collector with water, it drives very stupidly, bumps everywhere, leaves uncollected places. If you need a normal robot, choose better with a built-in room mapping system.
When irobot makes such a robot with a room map, then I can write a positive review, shamefully, 2014 is the year of the yard, all known competitors are already making robots with normal navigation.
The battery is still the same nickel metal hydride. It's time to put Li-Ion for a long time. They probably save on the price, but the price for the end customer is too high.

Virtues

  • Service. Quality. Design. Remote controller.

disadvantages

  • All corners remain dirty. Parquet cleaning with new brushes is not possible. To disable the barriers you need to pull out the batteries.

Comment
4 years in the apartment was cleaned iRobot 560, sometimes it seemed that he was alive, cleaned for 5+ I decided to buy a new one, and take the old one to the dacha. I bought 880 - now I don’t know what to do with it ... I launched 880 into work. Visually, it’s clear that he left the apartment untidy with bushes. I launched 560, and he got out of the whole apartment by filling out a third of the container for collecting dust. So I did 10 times, thinking that maybe 880 remembers rooms BUT! The result is the same. It's a shame that I bought it in a company store in the USA and now I don’t give it back.
