Good deal! Believe this one can support scheduling by adding the command unit right?

i order from 1 roomba from woot.com just now but intend to get another 1 now? what is the best option for me?

1: get from woot.com and send it to a different shipping co avoid paying gst
2: sent it to same shipping co then pay gst
3r can i ask borderlinx to send via 2 shipment?

which way is cheaper? thank you

you should have order 2 just now, even order 3 at a time pay only $5 woot.com delivery charge.

now you may have a problem, same username only can order only once, you may need to setup another new account.

I think you self calculate whether saving base charge or saving gst payment is cheaper.

yes, you can no need to consolidate shipment, can send back separately.

After searching for some info on the 500 series roomba, it seems that the earlier batch of 500 series roomba suffers from dust/dirt getting into the CHM (cleaning head module).

Irobot has released a new kind of CHM to solve this issue. I am not sure if the woot roombas is having the new CHM.

hmm... wonder how to check if woot is offering the new CHM.

buy from woot.com information really limited.

i guess it should be old stocks from hsn.com, only them selling this model
