A Warning to all who tried to buy Irobot from eBay:

I tried to claim my warranty from Irobot, this is what they reply:

Dear XXXXXX,

Thank you for contacting iRobot Customer Support.
We do apologize for the inconvenience. Unfortunately, any product purchased via eBay does not carry a manufacturer's warranty. If the seller states the product is guaranteed that is incorrect. We consider eBay purchases third party, which is stated specifically in our written warranty.

Thank you,

If i knew earlier, I wont even put eBay. Anyway, if they required receipt or invoice, we also doomed.

Now, i refrain from buying Irobot from eBay. Why buy fr eBay when you can get a good if not better deal from HSN like mosmos. :D

I got mine (Scooba) from ebay about a year back. When registering with Irobot, I put in "gift". Maybe you could try that.

Never encountered this issue b4. Was yr bin ever dismantled. Suggest u check the fittings when puting back, never force... the clips should snap in place... else alignment may be out.

Ah ha... so u've dismantled yr bin b4 eh? Well, i faced the same problem b4. I took apart the bin and found the cause. There's the section of the impeller housing that u close in snuggly with the cover. Sometimes the !@#$@ electrical cable to the motor may get in the way. If u r not careful, the bin can still be reassembled but u'll find it tight to fit the bin into the bot later on.
