I bought 3 new pcs at USD 14 plus shipping USD 6 at ebay. It is a new design (no longer red colour body and yellow arms) that I was told to be more durable, also 6 arms. If you buy in Singapore, u won't be able to get such deal i believe.

Need paypal to buy from ebay. I can help to buy if you want, send me an email to yctan82@yahoo.com

Do you folks usually buy the insurance on the shipping? The extra $18 seems a bit of a wastse.

Mine also just arrived at Vpost last night - they sent me an email this morning

I think it's outsourced - so those guys are more efficient

Total shipping charge is S$63.14 (S$50.74 for weight and S$12.40 base) before discount.

I am waiting for another purchase from Shoebuy to arrive before getting them to send it over

Anyone knows if can use the discovery series charger to charge the 500 series?

Are they compatible in terms of DC voltage?

I have the 220Vdiscovery, and my 535 is the 110V version.

just wondering as well, can a discovery/400 series battery be used in 500 series roomba?
How abt accessories like brush, side brush, virtual wall,scheduled remote control, bin etc?

Battery no, different batteries.

Accessories - brushes/bin all different. Remote control scheduling is different coz 500 series uses RF for scheduling.

Virtual wall i heard still can use but not too sure about that.
