Hi Guys,

Been reading the thread, now at pg 50 or so... and also read the past few pages, pretty convince that a Scooba will be good for my home. Probably go for the 350/340.

A few questions if you can help.

1. My 4-room flat has 3 bedrooms with laminate flooring, do I need extra virtual walls or should I just keep the doors close while the little bugger is at work?

2. Any trusted sellers to recommend, with reasonable delivery, first time buying from overseas, and will appreciate any good recommendations. Rough check of ebay shows that a new Scooba 340 costs about US$300-340, is this about right?

3. A little confuse here, Scooba doesn’t have the charging station, so how do I charge the battery? Do I have to buy a separate charger for the battery? (Found out about the charger already)

4. A rough dummies guide to shipping will be much appreciated… Unless it’s from pages 1xx…. Never read so many pages in one night (did skip a little;))

Thanks:)

ziggyy, just make sure if you dun find changing water multiple times per charge is troublesome for you :D

for virtual wall, you can get as many as you like, they work as "wall". Keeping door closed is fine too.

340 = 380 (850sqm), 335 = 350(500sqm). price is quite different though. Usually ebay could give you best offer, but not guaranttee, coz it depends on the supply/demand. And sometimes they have "best offer" so you just dump him a price, if he accepted it, then you would win the bid :D after that arrange with shipping company like comgateway/borderlinx, both are delivered by DHL liaoz :s22:
