iRobot Scooba experience

[Jubooo]

Clorox smells very nice but cost double.

I’m trying to order some accessories from Irobot but they require a US credit card, anyway to get around that? Going to get it delivered to my Borderlinx address.

Any chance anyone has lobang to get Roomba 400’s accessories, then can save the trouble

Should be interesting to see how effective the Samsung performs and how much better it truly is as compared to the Roomba.

Hi, Just used a scooba 380. Finds that it is not as intelligent as a roomba.

I have a couple of questions regarding 380:

1) Where to buy additional battery?
2) Where to buy the rest of the accessories?
3) Are the following steps good for prolonging the batt?
a) Charge and ensure a green light before usage
b) After 1 cycle, let the battery cool down and charge up the batt.
i) If using external charger, charge no more than 3.5 hrs
ii) If using scooba to charge, charge until green light.
c) If desire for another cleaning cycle, use another batt

Hi, can anybody advise me if a roomba 530 is enough to cover a hdb 4 rm flat on a single charge?

Was thinking of getting the Maintenance Kit. Haven't tried ordering yet, no real urgency.

I have 3 hyper JRT but they are so use to it that they simply ignore it. 550 is the same as 560 in terms of features. If you got the costo version 551 with the green CHM, it's almost the same as 560.

The green CHM uses the same pet series brush as the 562.

You might like to take a look at this bumper guard.

shipping from US

Hi fellow irobot'er,

If I am asking my colleague in US to get Roomba 550 (from Costco) and Scooba 340
(not sure which seller is cheaper).

And then ask him to repack. Which shipping is cheaper, CGW, Borderlix or VpostUSA or is there other alternative(Singpost) ?

Thanks

just use CGW or borderlinx. I guess shipping fee is similar, they are using DHL.

CGW got some promo with some credit card, ocbc or hsbc, not sure the promo still available now, do check their website for details.

Don't use vpost, they take a long time to deliver.

Hi Mosmos,

Thanks for your fast response. I read from the site that invoice is needed. So how do I ask my colleague to do it if I want to declare below S$400 so no need to pay tax.

If you use CGW or borderlinx, you do not need a invoice, just key in a value amt you like.

But do ask your friend to post a pic or scan of that invoice, just in case our SG custom come knocking your door for gst.

handytouch, though repacking save you some shipping charges, i wld advice it might be better to ship as-is. Unless u buying fr amazon, else you are unlikely to get double box type of packing. You can get your colleague to chk before he/she ship to your prefer forwarder.

I have bought fr costco and hsn before and their packing is rather compact and it provide the necessary protection to the roomba. Attached a pic of the 551 I got last year in it's original box.

The only time I repacked a roomba is when I checked-in my current 535, I used several layer of bubble wrap and stuff it into my suitcase, which is really a very tough travel hardcase. It survived the baggage handling

What's the difference between 550 and 560? I noticed that 550 got no scheduler?

They share the same specs. 550 has onboard scheduling too.
