Thank you very much for organizing the Demo session for your group of neighbors and residents. We do give best prices and freebies for group and bulk purchases.

Main thing is the product works great and we did mange to clarify all the doubts and you liked our service, everything else will be fine. Sorry I could not run through a detailed set up for your set due to the number of people, if you need anything or another session, pls let me know. I would mail out the freebies for the purchased sets to all and would be received within days.
Thanks a lot for your time and effort, really appreciate it. Rest assured, if you and your neighbors need any assistance, please contact me directly, call, whatsapp, email, PM all ok (hmm.. try not to from public post). Thank you once again. :)



~pb0006: Do know you you are residing overseas and bought the set direct from korea. Thanks for contacting us at Autovacstore.com , Have left you a no. do contact directly via whatsapp and would do our utmost to assist with regards, if you need help aliasing to claim the warranty from the manufacturer, we can assist too. :)

Hi, just to check the battery for 550 and 560 is the same right? Thks
All Roomba after 400 series, ie. 500/600/700 series, use the same battery.
There used to be blue NiCD as well as black NiCD batteries by iRobot but have since standardized to yellow NiMH since year 2010.

I intend to get a scooba but I m worried if it will damage my marble flooring and old parquet wood. By the wetness, is it equivalent to a mopped floor or much worse than that? Will the scooba scratch the floor it cleans? My old parquet wood has small gaps as it is already 10+ years. I m still mopping it with water and m ok with it. Does the scooba leave a much wetter floor and cause damage?

Thanks.

Q1. I intend to get a scooba but I m worried if it will damage my marble flooring and old parquet wood.
A1. Won't damage or scratch marble, but will polish until very shiny.

Q2. By the wetness, is it equivalent to a mopped floor or much worse than that?
A2. Dryer than normal Mop & Pail, wetter than moist micro fibre cloth (eg. 3M Scotch Brite cloth mop)

Q3. Will the scooba scratch the floor it cleans?
A3. No, there are no hard parts that scrape floor. Only rubber parts in contact with floor.

Q4. My old parquet wood has small gaps as it is already 10+ years. I m still mopping it with water and m ok with it.
Does the scooba leave a much wetter floor and cause damage?
A4. If u're using Mop & Pail, then Scooba is fine. My parquet is also 10 yrs, and I can definitely say there are visible gaps, I've been using Scooba for 4+ yrs. Much better than say a Steam Mop which can ruin parquet if stay at one spot too long (I did before).
Parquet is real wood, generally water tolerant cos they're coated with Polyurethane (which Steam Mop breaks down). The gaps if exposed will get some moisture, but insignificant & shouldn't discolour the wood.

Just bear in mind, Scooba only sprays thin layer of water & will immediately suck up the dirty water.
If I use Mop & Pail, I also need to really squeeze dry the mop head, else it'll be dripping wet.
Only Spin Mop is considered very dry (depends how long u spin it). I got authentic Spin Mop, but not very clean, cos it lacks the rubbing action from an old fashion mop with heavier fibre strands.
3M Scotch Brite cloth mop is reasonably clean, but u need to remove the cloth & rinse under tap non-stop.

Queries pls PM or email me unobliss@yahoo.com

With regards to the wetness... i think it is best you get the seller to do demo for you first... My scooba does leaves a lot of watermarks on the shiny homogeneous tiles... but it does a good job in the non-shiny tiles in the kitchen, bathroom and balcony...

Thumbs up for uno_bliss. Thanks for traveling all the way to deliver the charger plus upgrading the software on my roombas even though one of them is not bought from you! Not to mention the roomba is no longer under warranty. Thanks again!

IClebo Smart is what I have now. I will sell it off for 380sgd to get a Roboking 6180 triple eye. That particular model of Roboking has a wifi function whereby it can receive command signals from your smartphone or laptop where ever you are and the three cameras will be available as a roaming surveillance cams sending realtime video to your smartphone. Cool eh?

hey guys, after going through most of the thread, can i say that Scooba does an overall cleaner job than Mint when it comes to mopping but maintenance wise it is more of a hassle?

as im undecided between the Scooba 390 and the Mint

To know Mint vs Scooba, can read my past posts:

http://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/51886581-post7482.html

As for likelihood of breakdown, I agree that things that can go wrong with Scooba is more than Roomba, which is more than Mint. Cos Mint is a very simple design with no moving parts except the L/R wheels.

Queries can PM or email me unobliss@yahoo.com

Thought you already PM Vachel on this issue? You will not be able to buy the wheel assy and your only choice will be a warranty claim as what he had mentioned.
