What kind of AC adapter doesthe Original iRobot Rombaneed? |
|
I have an old Roomba, the
original gray model. Lost the
AC adapter. Could buy a
replacement direct from
iRobot, but that would cost
$40. No thanks, I have a
universal AC which will work
for my needs.
Where should I set the voltage
on my universal AC?
The replacement AC adapter's
iRobot catalog number is 7279. |
 |
The Roomba adapter outputs 24
VDC @ 500 mA but it plugs into
another intermediate box that
has the plug with two outputs
on it and actually plugs into
the Roomba. That small box
appears to further alter the
voltage for the 14.4V battery.
If you're trying to go
directly into the Roomba
without going through their
intermediate box, you should
probably only use 15 VDC (or
at most, 18 VDC, but go with
15 VDC first). 24 VDC direct
might be too high and fry it.
Only use 24 VDC if you've
tried the others first and
they didn't work at all. Also,
if your adapter can't output
500 mA as a minimum, it might
not hold the voltage you set
it at and damage the
equipment.
Note that it uses DC and not
AC, so make sure your adapter
is DC! If you're not sure, buy
a Roomba adapter -- it's
cheaper than a new Roomba if
you fry the old one... |

Irobot...? |

Have you seen the comerical
for the irobot vaccum cleaner
and at the end it says "Let a
robot do your dirty work."
Does anyone else think that
that comment is going to come
back and bite us in the a$$
like 50 years or so from now? |
|
Was it in a robots voice? If
so, then I'm worried. |

who has an iRobot or knowsabout them? good mothers daygift or no? |
|
we have a large house and
cleaning people that come once
a week but our floors are
always dirty and my mom ends
up moping and vacuuming like
twice a day.
we have 2 dogs, one is a
golden retriever who sheds
like crazy and tracks mud onto
the tile floors.
soo weve got tile floors and
carpet.
would you reccomend the
irobot? do they actually work?
and what kind would be the
best? all opinions please! |
|
I have two: Roomba Dirt Dog
and Roomba Scheduler w/
Intellibin. I think they are
great! I don't know how they
work on carpets but they work
great on tile floors. There's
also the iRobot Scooba that
mops floors. I'm actually
thinking of buying this one.
I'm so happy with mine. They
are so good at picking up
dirt, hairs, small trash etc.
They leave my floor feeling so
clean that I've actually laid
on the floor and felt no
grittiness. They are pricey
but great for individuals who
are always busy. I suggest
purchasing from Hammacher
Schlemmer (www.hammacher.com)
as they are the only ones that
offer a lifetime guarantee.
Look into it. Good luck! |
