Not sure if u r aware, these extra high capacity cells charged via Roomba may not be fully utilised. U might like to check on this topic discussed on Roomba Review. As the charging rate is relatively low (vs their capacity) and some newer Discovery models have an auto timer cut off, it may not be sufficient to fully recharge 4200mAh cells FYI.

1 is for you to clean the brush, 1 is the extra filter.

Anyway, I'm curious about how you guys clean the brushes on Scooba and Roomba effectively? I always got stuff stuck inside the brush. It's quite annoying to pull them out 1 by 1 leh.....even soak in the water also can't help :(

- used a few times with fast charging 4-5hrs, battery dead around 15 minutes.:s16:
- tried reset and 72hrs refresh charge, battery dead after 30 minutes.:s27:
- follow by another 12 hrs charge, battery dead after 30 minutes.:s27:
- this morning did a reset, will be trying the 72hrs charge again and see how?

Confirmed my battery died liao.
Feedback to irobot, they will be sending me a new battery.
I have gave them CGW addresss, now not sure how to submit to CGW because no invoice, and not sure will CGW accept battery or not?

That's strange, manage to order the scooba 340 from HSN ship to borderlinx then yesterday I email them (HSN) regarding the 15% discount and they reply me quite fast, saying they are giving 15% discount to me. Today morning, HSN email me saying my order is cancelled????? Just email them to explain about the cancellation of order.

I am interested in either model 530 and 560 selling at irobot.com selling for $299 and $349.
HSN selling 560 at $349 also.

Anyone bought from irobot website itself instead of HSN? Any prob buying from irobot.com?
