iRobot Scooba experience

[DigDub]

where you bought it?

scooba vacuum is small power, just enough for leaves, hairs, strings, etc.

not sure abt pet hairs.

No need to vacuum floor before using scooba.

Bought at john ackerman. Tomorrow i try and see. Hope my dog not scared of it.

Bought at 1398. Don't think got promotion or freebies. 1 year warranty for the machine and 6 months for the battery and power adapter. By the way, kiwikleen and magicclean can use ah? Put in how much amount?

you did not get the scooba on spot? need to pre-order?

380 can run on tap water only.

for kiwi kleen, just put a few drops, add too much you will see foam on floor.

Did iRobot respond to you?

Yes, within 1 working day.

But it doesn't work for my Scooba

Now iRobot is asking me for my origins of purchase n warranty, which i got it from a third party.

And i had already changed my power adapter to suit 240V.

Wonder if they will take accept my irobot?

you want to sent it back? the shipping will be too costly right? that is ~S$120...back and forth.

tried a bit of my scooba last night. best is to sweep away those visible pet fur and hair first, cos they will jam up the front wheel and the little vacuum vent. guess it only vacuums small particles like crumbs and dust. the dirty water is really brown sia, my home so dirty one.

guess you need a roomba to vacuum your floor.

think i stick to my hepa manual vacuum cleaner ba. also need to vacuum my sofa cos the dog always climb onto it and got fur. vacuum chop chop, is the mopping that is the killer.

tried a little bit of magiclean. works like charm.

Magicclean is superb, just one to two teaspoons for 2 cycles. I've been using it since day 1!

cgw delivery is quite expensive, i wonder why whole box is 16kg.

Maybe hsn.com external box is big or there's 2 scooba inside.

I think the box is HUGE! As my roomba is only 5.16kg (woot usually juz shipped the roomba box only). ELSE, you have 2 scooba in it! if so, sell me 1 at US200 and yours cost nothing except the freight charge of 80. lol.
