*FIXED* Robot vacuum suddenly running into everything; e.g. Deebot, Eufy, iRobot, Roomba, etc.
Просмотров 47 тыс.6 лет назад
Our Deebot N79 would be the best-behaved robot vacuum ever! Deebot wouldn't run into things, "seeing," and avoiding obstacles like a champ! Then...Deebot would suddenly stop "seeing" obstacles and wander around the house bashing everything. ECOVACS customer service is AWESOME, but they were at a loss, so they kept sending replacements. After having our Deebot N79 replaced (well, exchanged, we w...

    *I run the m6 daily, and my floors look awesome🌼 **allabout.wiki/Roborock-Robotic** I wet mop 2 days and dry sweep the rest of the days. When I first got it, I used the included disposable pads. I didn't like them--the dry pad has no depth so if it picks up a chunk of something, like dry cat food, then it pushes it around or drags it around the floor. The wet pad wasn't very absorbent so left streaks and wheel marks.*

    I was so tired of coming home and immediately vacuuming up the endless tumbleweeds of dog fur floating around my apartment🌼 Decided to give this task to a robot aka this Roomba and WOW. I’ve been a peasant for years, vacuuming my own floor and what not. It works great (doesn’t leave anything behind, works on schedule) and now I can come home without tufts of fur existing on every floor surface. 10/10 just buy it, it’s worth it.

    Thank you very much for putting this idea forward but unfortunately it didn't work with my Deebot M80 Pro (two year old). I buffed it with PlastX using a Dremmel with a felt tip and it still bumps into everything. I tried vegetable oil and it didn't work. I reset the Deebot. Still bumps into walls.I finally resigned myself that the problem might be with the anti-collision function itself. Every commands using the remote still works so I suspect the infrared is getting to the unit correctly. Maybe a weld on the motherboard was substandard and it went bad after getting hit many times. I resigned myself to add a soft cushion bar to the top of the bumper to absorb some of the energy of the collisions to reduce further damage to the vacuum. I'll be using the left over PastX on the cars headlights.

    I didnt have any of the plastic restoration liquid and so after cleaning the front bars with mild soap and water and let it dry, I then placed some clear (thick) packing tape and covered the black sensor bar with it, trimming the top half so that it’s not noticeable. It worked!!! I would probably have to replace the tape every now and then. Its much cheaper than replacing the whole robot!

    Holy shit, this actually fixed it! Thank you! I tried the Plastx compound by hand and made no progress because the scratches were pretty severe. If anyone runs into this issue, use a Dremel with a felt buffing bit and Plastx smeared over the plastic. I ran it around 4k RPM with very light pressure, making both horizontal and vertical passes. It took about 15 minutes to get it clear. IMPORTANT NOTE: WEAR EYE PROTECTION! It flings the compound all over the place and getting a petroleum based abrasive compound in your eye would be a nightmare.

      Are you using the robot vacuum on a dark rug by any chance?

    • @LuckyChance9
      @LuckyChance9 4 года назад

      Deebot says "please check the driving wheels" when it is running on a service that has too many linear patterns (e.g. a striped rug, a rug with light next to dark, etc.). You can "fool" the anti-drop sensors that are triggering this by putting *clear packing tape* over every sensor on the bottom of Deebot. When you are running Deebot the first time after, make sure you block any drops until you know if Deebot can sense them. If you use *CLEAR* packing tape this is enough to trick the sensors to work on any surface while also being sensitive enough for Deebot to avoid actual drops. Let me know if this works for you!

      Yeah, I do! I have the Ozmo 920 as well as the N79 and the 920 does exactly what you're talking about. *If* you DON'T HAVE DROP-OFFS Deebot needs to avoid you can put masking tape over the drop sensors on the bottom of your Deebot (there's probably 3-5 different optical sensors on the bottom). *If you DO have drops that Deebot needs to avoid you can *still put making tape over the drop sensors* AND ALSO put up a virtual boundary through the app to keep Deebot away from the drop. With the masking tape though Deebot will clean your carpet. The problem is that Deebot is "seeing" the pattern as drop-offs to avoid and freezing

    • @LuckyChance9

      Maybe I'll make another video about it. I've found if one person is having the problem more probably are. I just don't think about making videos, I just fix it and go about life. Would save others the frustration though. Deebot is awesome. We'd never give ours up and even with the little fixes and tinkering here and there it's still waaayy faster than vacuuming every day!

    • @LuckyChance9
      @LuckyChance9 4 года назад

      I've heard that comment before which makes me laugh because when I was sending vacuums in for replacement (Ecovacs customer service is awesome <-- unpaid endorsement, lol) they kept telling me "no, nobody else is reporting this problem, not anyone." I think they would have kept sending replacements forever but I was sick of the routine, I couldn't find any fix online so I endeavored to figure it out myself. This video is my limited foray into public social media and I did it so people wouldn't have to be as frustrated as me. I mean, we should be able to Google anything for an answer to any question, right!?? Anyhow, it does work. You'll have your Deebot back. Only thing we (other posters and myself) haven't figured out is how to make it more permanent instead of having to redo every few months. Not a big deal but I'm a tinkerer 😊

    • @punkrocknickyo
      @punkrocknickyo 4 года назад

      @@LuckyChance9 thats funny you say that because this is my second deebot with the same prob. I actually swapped my original one out with them because it was doing this. apparently comments say its more than us two.. but the clear tape idea seems like a good idea, did you try that one?

    • @LuckyChance9
      @LuckyChance9 4 года назад

      The clear tape has mixed reviews. I haven't tried it but seeing the comments it seems some have tried it and when the tape was scuffed enough took it off and had sticky tape residue to clean up worse than the original problem. One other person tried the tape, said it gets scuffed in a few months and just takes it off and replaces it. Honestly, I've thought about clear enamel spray paint? Something hard and difficult to scratch. That experiment is pretty permanent though so I've held off so far.
