iRobot Scooba experience

[sAxman_Returns]

juz received my roomba discovery from from speedpost...invoice dated 24/sep/07 bought from woot.com
after almost 2months...
bought 2 only received 1.. 1 should be reaching vpost soon...

how come 2 months so long? I thought vpost is like just 1-2 days longer compared to DHL?

transformers could be a waste of electricity.....SLT or SLS can customize 1 power adapter right?

Can anybody with a 5800 confirm if it can run on just tap water?
I just tried my remanufactured 5800 and it doesn't run on tap water. I'm suspecting i've got myself a 5900 in a blue 5800 shell.

but this roomba is just vacuum or can do mopping too? with plain water? or my own self-made clorox?

 

[hq83]

roomba is vacuum
Scooba is mop

roomba = sweep + vacuum floor

scooba = very small vacuum + mop floor

Courts selling roomba sage at $399. Good offer for those want 240v power adapter + 1yr local warranty.

Does roomba use the same charger as the scooba?

 

[hq83]

i just try "Clean" 2 times with my discovery..
it failed to return back to the base itself for both of the times.
what is the problem..
is there anything to set ?
base is in living room. 2nd time i only let it sweep the living room..
it just stop there with green status light and some sound. battery is not flat. i still can control it with remote

according to manual, low battery then auto dock back to charge.

did you switch ON the power suppy?

i nvr use auto dock function. I will let the battery cool down for sometime before charging.

you can press clean + max button together to let roomba auto dock.
