Scooba 330 is sort of discontinued and might be difficult to find.

:s22: I have just start using my scooba 330 ytd evening, which bought from woot.com dunno how many years ago, realised the barcode sticker write 5900~

I find that the quality of plastic is of poorer quality, and irobot don't even bother to print the explanation parts wordings on the scooba~ :s22:

I realised it is quite noisy, not sure is it I keep too long, something inside become rusty~ :s22:

You run with the scooba juice? 5900 cannot run with tap water.

Bro, any idea when roomba 700 series available on your site?

Maybe 3 years later until spares and parts are readily available otherewise I cannot provide warranty.

Wah, 3 years later ... I think it's a wise choice, remind me of my 230, still seating with irobot in Massachusetts w no spare unit. :(

Btw, what's the real adv of 700 over the 600? Apart that it looks more 'cool'? Anything really to justify such a high price tag? I didn't really do much research but I reckon that it will not be significant improvement?

bro mosmos...u got any spare scooba 330 for sale boh?
Alas, 330 was cheap & good model. But now iRobot pushing 230 as the low range model.
Unfortunately, even with upsize battery (the easy part) & design fast external charger, 230 can never match the bigger size forefathers, it'll forever remain a "Xiao Di Di".

Alternative to iRobot Scooba Enzyme

Today my customer bought this product from Cold Storage, $6.8 for 1L, dilution factor 30ml to 10L water. So it's just 3ml per Scooba full tank (1L).

http://www.envizyme.com.sg/ourproducts/household.html
Envizyme's Household series are made from naturally dereived ingredients that is safe for your family and our environment. An all natural liquid solution that breaks down grease and grime into non-toxic substances which can be safely returned to the Earth when flushed into drains.

I'll still continue using my long-time trusted Kiwi Kleen "Super Active" milky light blue ($5.5 for 3L), cos I still got 2L left.
I use 30ml per full Scooba tank (label says 1 capful to half bucket, but I find concentrated more shiok:s13:).

Price comparison:
- $5.5 Kiwi Kleen 3L = 3000/30 = 100 full Scooba tanks
- $6.8 Envizyme 1L = 1000/3 = 333 full Scooba tanks
- US$12 iRobot Enzyme 16oz (473ml) = 64 full Scooba tanks

Whats the Difference Between the Scooba 330 and Scooba 380?

The key difference is that the Scooba 380 moves faster than the Scooba 330, thus covering a larger area (850sqft vs 250sqft) in the same amount of time and cleaning
solution.

380 leaves floors drier and reduces per-cleaning expense, due to larger area cleaned with a single clean tank. The scooba 330 and 380 holds the same amount of cleaning solution with their identical tanks (aprox. 1L). A fully charged new battery can last for about 2 cycles of cleaning, with each cycle lasting approximately 45min to 1hr, depending on amount of cleaning solution in “clean tank” and type of surface.

For more Information on Scooba products, please refer to our Scooba FAQ.

I do not agree with this statement and infact I find that 380 leaves a wetter floor compared to it's peer and the floor type plays a big difference. I do not know where you get this info but I find that there's some facts you need to get it clear.

You listed the roomba 400 as a pet series before and it was totally not true, then I also see that your scooba 330 comes with charging base which is also a wrong info unless you're packaging it yourself or your stock is a very old one as far as 2006 which does have a charging base.
