Roomba 530 Lounge 8x Fast Version

This is the same video sequence as the full 35 minute video which you can find here also. The only difference is most of it has been sped up to 8x normal speed. I did not originally intend this video to have a fast-forward version so I apologise right away for the walk-about camera angles that makes it hard to watch at times.. esp eight times ;-) But I think there are enough long shots in there to make it useful. And certainly more enjoyable than sitting thru the entire 35 minutes of the FULL version. But as I've stated in the blurb of the 35m version, it was made with a purpose in mind.

NOTE: There is a higher quality DivX version of this video available at Stage6.

Stay tuned for more upcoming fast-motion Roomba #530 videos that I will shoot with a lock-off camera from a fixed point. I believe these will be much more useful to show (quickly) how Roomba #530 does his thing and more enjoyable to watch.

Ours keep breaking down or stops stucking up debris after every 4 months of daily use. How is yours holding up?

I'm coming up on 10 months, and I use him for 3 hours a week. Not high usage really, but it works for me.

So far I've had to replace the front rotating whirly brush that stopped whirling when the mouting plate part cracked and no longer held tight.

These junk vacuum cleaner toys make it very clear that online reviews cannot be trusted!

.

It makes it very clear that many dollars are spent on people to artificailly rate the junk as top quality (shills).This defeats another good mechanism for the public to know the truth. I have found websites that attempt to educated people how to determine shill posts everywhere.

These battery operated units are a joke. My real vacuum runs about 1500 watts of suction. The battery operated units runs about 4 watts fo suction.

.

Are people that stupid to believe all the paid advertisers blogging as real users??

.

Think people!!

@larryllix

It spent 95% of time over the same corners sometimes taking the smart initiative to cross the whole room to roll over corner A and then return B and again in loop for an hour, wasting batteries beneath a demented algorithm, leaving the center of the floor nearly untouched.

I think using a toy to clean automatically a two-minutes-by-hand room would still be much appreciated if market was more sensible on intelligent algorithms rather than on fancy plastic covers .

@3habaneros How so, the only thing ''stupid'' was the incorrect ad on, which was ''r''.

@cobolt13 stupid comment

[cobolt13]

[nooloo3000]

[TheUV123]
