iRobot Scooba experience

[dankoo]

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

hey guys, seems like 550 is no longer in stocks....560 or some old stocks 550 all cost close to USD 300

any idea how long does it take for comgateway to divert the stuff over to SG after they received it?

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?

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?

buying from hsn.com is trying your luck, some able to process thru' some can't

are you buying scooba?

scooba is out of stock now.

 

[laksa2003]

omg.. out of stock...
scooba more worth it right, can vacuum and mop at same time

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

 

[ziggyy]

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...)

thanks..
so get scooba 340 at hsn when got stock
what recommendation for roomba? so many model i read till blur

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

come across a interesting article.

Have anyone try to mod their Roomba so that it can mop the floor as well?

juz to share somethin i discovered at borderlinx website.

http://www.borderlinx.com/page_290.html

seems like there is a partnership between borderlinx and irobot which means there should not be any issue getting an order accepted that ships to wilmington ohio

 

[cool_lai]

my irobot 560 just came today.. i bought from ebay at USD330 which is quite x but he ships directly to SG & accept paypal.

i went courts and saw the price for 560 at S$988
