Thank you.

Thanks Vic. Great to see you are still here. I'm in Mexico, now. I had the big house with all the Mastiffs, about 10 most of the time I was on forum. Remeber your dog(s) and all the vital information you provided. I never did the sealed bearings on my 500, btw.. I can't remember, but, is that someth...

Hello all. It has been many years since I've been on forum. Anyone who remembers me will remember I had an army of Roombas and Scoobas for my extremely challenging home environment. The last army of Roombas was the 5xx series. I am now living in Mexico in a Tiny space. When I moved I gifted my Roomb...

I was curious as to how the Neato would clean the floors with just the rubber bar. They tout it has a very powerful vacuum. If it does, that should make up for not needing the brush to stay on par with the Roomba. Patiently waiting. . . :mrgreen: Yea, I'm hoping it picks up dust better than the Tri...

I can only guess here.... Two days ago I brought my three Trilobites downstairs, from upstairs difficult carpets, to preclean extreme doggie hair and some dust prior to running the 5xx gang. I have to clean hair and dust bin/filters too often during gang run when I let the floors go this long. Anywa...

...perfectly clean floors...", a dream to be realized! :-) At my place, inhabited by three dogs, six cats (inside/outside), two+ people on a small horse farm (and with inadequately maintained "mud-room"), I am happy if the floors are clean enough so I don't feel grit crunching under ...

Black brushes, used in red CHM, then to green CHM didn't seem to produce any difference in sound that I can detect. Actually, if there is any noise coming from them I can't detect it over the other noises that the 5xx's make, even using the quieter Aero-Vac bins. I had my hearing, super-duper tested...

Hello Alice! Glad to make your acquaintance, I've read your posts with interest. I too live in the country with lots of dust, off a dirt road and have a long gravel driveway. Three Dobermans and a cat complete my mess-making recipe! I am building my army now... 2 Roombas (581 and 560), 2 Scoobas (5...

All of my 5xx's, eight now, no matter the bin, reg/aero/big (without vacuum), get virtually every bit of the extremely fine dust/silt up. Much, but not all, of our dust/silt/dried mud, is almost as fine as Diatomaceous Earth. After Roombaing, for a bit, until the dogs trash the floor again, that is ...

Did you get all the sticky off any place it could go? Hope it is only the depleted battery. The easiest/safest way to clean it off is with plain mineral oil. A couple of years ago we had a 6 ft Ratsnake (not rattlesnake) get major stuck to a rat sticky in the garage. Mineral oil unstuck him easily a...

I'm getting ready to run a whole pack of 500's right now. (Ben, I pooped out last night. :roll: ) I have one refurb 530, Red CHM, that came with the black brushes and, yes, a bit less hair collects on the ends, and it is much easier to clean the ends, and it seems hair doesn't seem to work into the ...

I have one set of the black brushes that came on a refurb 530, red CHM I think. The ends may collect less wrapped hair on the ends (it seems) with less tendency for the hair getting pulled into the drive gears. I have a lot more fine hair, now, from the undercoat of one Labradoodle. May have to orde...

Hi, all. Wonderful to be back. :D My three bucket method .... dip clean mop (the microfiber flat mops are the best for my smooth tile/no grout lines) into clean solution, squeeze out a bit into trash bucket. Do a few feet of floor, squeeze out into trash bucket, located in between the solution bucke...

Greetings All. Yes, I'm still alive. :D I've always had packs of Large and GIANT country house dogs. Years ago I had full time help who mopped the main area of house twice a day; morning and afternoon before leaving. I didn't have any problems with the mud but she did. :roll: I can't afford that now...

Hi, We are about to build a pool and are not sure which way to go as far as water purification systems. So far we have been informed of the Delta UV system, the ozonator and the nature 2. They all seem to require chlorine though. I saw your post and was wondering what you are using now as you said ...

Extreme circumstances, dusty, sandy, with multiple country housedogs coming and going at will, all tile. After a "skip" day I'll run a 4-6 Dirtdog Pack then four 500's. Most days two dedicated "big bin" (no vac in bin so similar to DirtDog) 500's then four 500's after "big b...

My 2004, remanufactured, white Disco, "Blindie" (now called "Blind No More") just came back from extensive repairs from RoombaExchange. She was the quietest 4xxx until WOOT ran her maiden mission yesterday. She's running right now, and right beside me; the 5xx's are running too....

Looking at the http://www.savapoint.com/savapoint/productinfo.php?prodid=5538&gid=206&cid=1 it has the small, medium, and large buttons just like the Original Roomba. Those settings determine how long the 'bot will run. Also note that the battery listed on the link I posted is a NiCad and no...

I unpacked an ran my WOOT Pet Scheduler w Intelli bin yesterday. :shock: :shock: It is quieter than my 5xx's!!!! :shock: :shock: Alice, I think you must be going deaf - nothing could be quieter than your 5xxx's, surely? :D :D :D Well my hearing isn't a good as it was in the old days but good enough...

I unpacked an ran my WOOT Pet Scheduler w Intelli bin yesterday.

It is quieter than my 5xx's!!!!

Birth date is 070404; that's April 04, 2007

It was so quiet that I took the bin off to make sure the brushes were spinning!!!
