Mosmos, how much did u pay for the shipping?? Think i'm now facing the same issue. What was the weight given? Any idea whats the dimension of the 340 hsn package?

i just threw away the external box, there got a sticker to show the box size.

if i remember correctly, courts is selling cheaper.
560 at $700+
530 at $600+

 

[hansolo76sg]

it must be due to some special promo or sale then coz the last time i checked out irobot prices at courts, its exactly as stated by thewiseone.

if i remember correctly, courts is selling cheaper.
560 at $700+
530 at $600+

Low price? It all depends on the availablity or rather discount/promotion from major 'sources' like:

www.irobot.com
amazon
www.hsn.com
www.woot.com - older remanufactured models
ebay - cheapest but riskiest!
people selling extra sets here

You can use irobot price as a guideline and compare from there.

Of coz, you have to factor in:

no warranty
freight cost
consumable parts like battery
voltage (110 vs 220 here)
etc.

Guess it is not easy to read thru all the 282 pages, but it HELPS. We all read thru the many many pages before we reach here.

 

[doremifa]

hi ktee,

thanks for your reply! did read some of the pages but not all. hehe.
just did a comparison, and found amzon price seems cheapest at the moment for 580, but read the reviews that amazon dun send all the accessories stated in irobot website, which made 580 same as 560, errrr...
is there any benefit if order directly from irobot website, since it has 10% discount?

TIA!
