hmm, for now it seems like a lot of US site is blacklisting Sgp address and creditcard. Maybe we should update this list and avoid wasting our time trying to order

Sites that don't allow shipping to Sgp:
- HSN
- Buy.com?
- irobot?

I think woot still can use right? come to think of it, I just ordered my scooba accessories using hsbc cc and google chkout last mth, it was still ok. Now cannot already?

iRobot? I managed to get 2 560s 2 mths back using Google checkout

Yes, i'm using a Scooba 350... still working. IMO, u are better off getting a brand new Scooba instead of getting a used unit. Too many risks and downsides to a used one and IMO, not worth the risk.

anyone is using a scooba 350?

is it worth to buy a used scooba at US$199?

Hi thewiseone,

Some qn and answer which i hope you are able to provide me.

how long can scooba 350 batt last the whole cleaning process?
can 1 battery charge able to cover 3 bedroom, 1 living room & 1 dinning room?
Is it smart enought to negioate itself to all the area in your house?
How much did you buy the scooba for?

Thanks in advance.. cheers

Thanks Mosmos.

Checked last weekend, HSN boh stock. I’ll be camping there now then;) But can’t view HSN.com from my office…

Anyway, would using CGW be the best for shipping?

Camping there at the moment, probably visit there once a day from now.... Still out of stock.

Mosmos, the agar prices of USD$210-240, what models were they?
(Found it on pg 292, reading the thread backwards...)

well scooba squirts water mops and sucks (vacuums) the water back in

but you still can't replace a roomba. I'd say roomba would be your no 1 priority. scooba 2nd
thanks..

what recommendation for roomba? so many model i read till blur :o

Scooba 350 comes with the same battery as the Scooba 380, which is good enough for 2 complete cleaning cycles.

Depending on how big your rooms are. If u are living in a hdb, the 350 should probably be fine, else u might like to go for a 380 which is quicker and hence more coverage.

It is smart enough to negotiate itself but i normally segment my cleaning areas.

I got my 350 from Ebay quite a while back... cant recall the exact price. I may have mentioned it, please do a search on this thread. All your Qs should have been answered before.

I'm using a roomba discovery which is one generation older than the current 5xx series. I probably would only use the older generation till the 5xx series matures :) plus.. the older one does the job good enough without the sexy voice on the 5xx :s13:
