Confirm twice this month that Borderlinx/DHL delivers on Sundays and without any prior arrangement. In fact the second time, I called to check if they are coming on Sun and they told me no, its scheduled for Monday but few hours later they appeared at my house.

congratz. finally you got your scooba. who you ordered from in ebay? reliable? sent to you direct?


anyway, i used about 5-6ml of kiwi kleen. doesn't leave any residue. sometimes i wonder if i put enough or not.

mine also got see some water droplets. think it's due to uneven floor. as long as it's not like very wet, i think it's ok.

5-6 ml seriously is too little, I use ~40 ml Kiwi Kleen milky light blue (Super Active) for 1 full tank. No comments abt other types of Kiwi Kleen (eg. Lavender, Green Tea) cos I never use before.

Despite using water can also give nice clean feeling, but oily residue may not be dissolved if u use too little cleaning solution.

As for water droplets, a well-spread layer is normal, just like if u wipe mirror with moist cloth, u'll see a layer of water droplets.
If it's large water droplets here & there, it's from the air exhaust at the base near the left wheel.

I have had my Neato for almost a month now and have been very happy with this new bot. Compared to my old Roomba, this machine sucks better(!), is easier to clean and vacumms one room at a time before proceeding to the next. It does its job much faster too e.g. it cleans my room in less than 5 minutes whereas my old roomba will take a muuccchhh longer time since the old guy cleans the room in a very haphazard and random pattern. The only thing I wish the neato has is the rotating side brush. But the neato comes with a universal charger, so no need to get a transformer or send it for modication.

Effectiveness of Roomba's AWARE algorithm is very much dependent on the size and layout of the cleaning area. There are times my Roomba will miss out a room COMPLETELY, or it will focus more on certain areas and less on others. Its not consistent. This is an area which Neato has superiority. My main concern with Neato is the effectiveness of its vacuum and beater brush combo. In addition, we dont know how reliable the bot is over the years.

Have u encountered any issues with the bot like bouncing front end and clock resetting on its own? Where did u get your Neato from?

I haven't tried Kiwi Kleen yet but the person i bought from say put 1 or 2 teaspoon very little is enough liao.

So it is normal to have droplets of water here and there after using?

Yup had the front-end bouncing issue but that was a very easy fix by trimming the overly-long silicon skirt at the bottom of the robot. This problem has been fixed though for new shipments. I did not experience the clock reset. Bought mine from Amazon

I tried to create problems with its laser navigation by putting obstacles in the robot's path but it has so far failed to be defeated either in getting its job done or in finding its way back to its dock

Yup, the larger droplets here & there is normal.
As I've mentioned in previous post, it's from the air exhaust. Naturally sucking in water, some water will be blown out also.

Did you put the kiwi clean into the tank first and fill up with water or the other way round?

Ya. Couldn't wait any longer for Woot so i took the plunge and ordered from ebay. I got it from someone by the nick reasonabledealonline.
It is cash on delivery.

Think my rooms parquet floor i will still use those magic clean wipes cos not very even due to bad workmanship

But so happy the living room really feels squeaky clean after the Scooba run.

Thats great. Would appreciate if u can give us an update after further usage with your Neato.

Just bought a couple of extra aerovac bins to save on shipping.

Have 2 brand new aerovac bins for sale at $67 each. Pm me if interested.

Tried both ways almost the same.

I just brought 560 from US, and used an existing transformer to charge it, left it for an hour and now there's no light on the adapter. Either my transformer or the adapter got spoiled.
