agreed

That was very, very, very, very....very expensive when it appeared on the market back in 2005. Just like Electrolux Trilobite. Still pretty impressive robovac even in 2023. They both have sentimental meaning for me. I remember when I was a kid/teenager and I saw them for the first time in some tech magazines I wanted them so badly! 😪🤗

@@RoboVacPartyI thought it released in 2002?

@@RoboVacParty ahh 2005. the high point in autonomous consumer electronics. Unfortunately the gooberment realized what great war machines they could build with such tech and banned most of it from the consumer marketplace. THANKS CPSC! lmao. ugh. But at least we got the Ukraine war for it... :/

yes, even it's soo old, but it was made in times when everything was made better than today and not in china...

true @@RoboVacParty

It was their own design I think along with Siemens SensorCruiser VSR8000

@@RoboVacParty didnt siemens steal the design?

Yes, I have tried the same sequence (as manual describes) and the same happens to me!

Ok, I have made some tests and...it appears there is an error in the manual. You have to press and hold "P" (programm) button for 5 seconds until it shows 'H3' etc. ..not the 'Start/Pause'.

@@RoboVacParty hi man, thank you so much for this information - it worked! Now after 2 weeks of using the dishwasher there is no "salt replacing lamp" symbol, for when to replace the salt in the salt container. I only filled the container with salt and water 2 weeks ago before the first wash and now if I open it, it's still full with water. DO you have any idea about this/how the salt replacing lamp should look? Do you also experienced the same?

The "salt replacing lamp" should be lit only when there is no salt in the salt container. When it's full the salt indicator goes off. The salt container should be full of water and that's normal. You shouldn't open it unless the salt indicator goes on again. In my case it only turned on twice during the last year of use.

They were in their age, 2000's. It has dirt sensors (infrared), so depend on amount it drive in one of 3 methodes: slowing down (small amount of concentrated dirt), slow down, moves back and forth (large amount of concentrated dirt) and moving in star like pattern (big amount of dirt). So even more sophisticated than nowadays robot vacuums with piezo/optical dirt sensors.

Thats the neat part You cant They are kinda rare nowadays

Ebay like sites. Yes, they are extremely rare.

Yes, this model was introduced in 2003, so 20 years ago and was available until early 2010's, I think (RC4000 re-edition). It cost fortune then, I remember I was teenager and it was on my dream-list then...

I seem to remember it costing at least 1500

he can clean for at least 60 minutes, but he re-charges during cleaning pretty fast and then resume the cleaning

I will try

@@RoboVacParty ok

@@RoboVacParty it’s the home and clean then press Spot 3 times for the auto 6 manually skip 12 mobility

@@RoboVacParty can u do when u got time

I’ve Never Had One Of These But It Is Kind Of Louder Than The Robot Itself.

Yep!

yes, but it's for fun...

Lol, I think it's not bad.

Around 1 hour on single charge, but then it recharges and resume. It can vacuum for 3, 6, 9 hours or permanent. It depends on selected cycle on the base station.
