Fulfils its task......someday
This hoover is like an apprentice.
You'd better not watch it at work, otherwise you'll only get upset at its inefficiency.
But if you just let it do its job, it gets the job done. ....
Driving back to the station doesn't always work either. But instead of reporting back, he keeps trying until the battery is empty :D
All in all, I am very satisfied with it.
I've fitted him with eyes to build up a stronger emotional connection. When I look at him, I can almost no longer be angry with him.Pro
- Long battery life
- easy cleaning of the hoover
- Easy handling
Contra
- The cleaning cycle is random
- Sometimes needs two runs
Mom`s Present
My mom was very happy with her gift. It cleans very well and its very easy to use and clean.
I love this little clean 'slob' - absolute recommendation to buy :-)
For many years, I had his predecessor https://www.galaxus.ch/de/s2/product/irobot-roomba-620-roboterstaubsauger-361136, who often annoyed me, but usually returned the favour with a very clean floor.
The Roombas' peculiarities are well known; 'Roby' still has them some seven years later, which is not a disadvantage. On the contrary, after six years of gradually 'adapting' to 'him' - leaving nothing lying around, neatly laying cables, etc. - I am (have been) absolutely satisfied.
Why mention this? 605 is more or less an improved clone of 620, somewhat lighter now, without (rather impractical) 'carrying handle', improved charging station, but even the old charging station can still be used, and even the dust container (would be) :-)
It's a bit quieter now too, not as messy as 605, and doesn't run into obstacles at 'top speed' anymore :-)
620 is also clean, and finds his way around his new, extremely winding home. :-)
I am very curious to see whether Roby(2) will find the charging station more often than 620 (independently) in the course of the coming years ;-)Pro
- Price / performance perfect
- mE still robust processing
- cleans reliably and cleanly
- Limitation to the essentials (clean the floor)
- Components and charging station from 2012 model compatible
- it seems to have become bizzeli quieter
- Finds its way even in a very convoluted flat
- 'Brakes' for obstacles
- 'Proven' Roomba Chaos Navigating Cleaning
- Low maintenance and easy to clean
- Flat enough to clean under beds, chests of drawers, sofas, etc.
Contra
- Absolutely none in terms of price, apart from the lack of a cleaning utensil for the rollers.
- [Addendum 07.12.19: Material fatigue possible, see comment]
Typical Roomba
Pro
- Vacuums independently
Contra
- Has no time programming and must be started manually
Yeah, great 😍
Roombie is great. Especially for the price. He has a little trouble with the charging station. However, when it is placed on the wall, he has no problems. What I would look for in the next purchase is the app function. But that's ok. BE SURE TO PUT THE CABLE AWAY. XD
Reasonable priced and cleans well
Roomba 605 is a good choice despite low suction power (needs to pass several times on the same spot to take all the bread crumbs). It's reasonably priced and hardly ever gets stuck. It goes easily under the furniture and gets on with cleaning, returns to base when it's finished.
Pro
- reasonable priced
- It hardly gets stuck
- no problem with low pile rug
- not very noisy
- cleans well all bread crumbs and kitchen floor
Contra
- a bit slow
- it takes time to find the base
