refurbished sets by irobot is as good as new, though warranty is 90 days only. :o

I look at the price, thought it's new set. :s22:

normally those 4xx series brand new ones are selling at this price. :s22:

err.. not sure if my question is answered? 530 or 535 better ah :p

Some details of the differences in link
http://www.roombacommunity.com/deals/

Basically, the features in a 535 missing from a 530 are:
  • Scheduled cleaning (requires purchase of additional command centre for 535)
  • Virtual Wall Lighthouse - If you want to Roomba to properly clean 2 rooms in one go (included with 535 purchase)

If these features are not important to you, the 530 is fine.

yes i also receive 2 roomba batt and 1 scooba batt to borderlinx 1week ago. have spoke to their CSO on the live chat and they confirm that they allow shipment of batt.
i wonder what the diff for borderlinx and cgw?
Since both is using DHL, y 1 allow and 1 disallow?

Oh, i just check with the BDL CSO, they also not allow any shipping of battery to Singapore too.

Really? I just shipped a batt from irobot:

22/4/2009
Standard delivery


Invoice


irobot
Shipment handed over to delivery agent
DHL parcels
Cons # *********
Transferred through Anchorage, AK - USA as of: April 23, 2009 08:30


It is a replacement batt for my scooba 5800. Bdx estimated the cost to be USD150, in fact, it is free (under warranty). :o

You are correct. All are wondering why iRobot backtracked from the black and went back to the Red design. I just get it as the side of my CHM was sort of "burnt" from the heat from accumulated hairs. Since it is under warranty, I just request for it for standby. :p
