iRobot Scooba experience

[mosmos]

mosmos~ chiu ish wierd wor... i thot people sweep and vacuum more often than mop?

if i wan to buy roomba 1st then buy scooba next year, where do u guys recommend i get my roomba from 1st?

i tried to read from page 58 to the last page, it's a bit confusing for me...

my hse not dirty mah, just some hairs or dry leaves fm balcony, so scooba can do most of the job. Including mopping the sticky floors.

which roomba are you planning to get? New 5xx series or older roomba models?

For older roomba models, you can try getting from woot.com or buy.com which cost abt usd$130-140.

For newer roomba models or scooba, you can get from hsn.com , 535 cost usd$250 and 335 cost usd$220. But I am not so sure abt ordering fm hsn.com with sg credit card.

i m living in HDB 3rd floor... and becos my room window is facing the car park, my rooms and living room are very dusty and hairs... so seeing the picture u all post seems good... so i considering to get one for Xmas... hahaha... relieve some household chores for my mum...

which model do u recommend? i m pure idiot in understanding between the new models and old models... i dun mind remanufactured...

 

[sneezybum]

it all depends how you want to clean the hse.

roomba is for sweep + vacuum

scooba is very little vacuum (eg sand/hair) + mop

For me, i use my scooba everyday, but roomba maybe 1-2 times a wk.

I am opposite of u. I use my roomba everyday, but only use my scooba about 3-4 times per week

my nephews come to my hse daily during day time, run here and roll there, so floor is always sticky. Even without scooba last time, my mum would have mop the floor daily.

scooba really save the day now

shipping would cost abt sgd$50 by vpost or comgateway (slightly cheaper).

for your budget, I guess you can get roomba discovery usd$130. I think 535 might be a little over sgd$400.

oh okay... so meaning if $500 budget should be able to get the 535? hmm... okay... i will check with u again when my bonus is released... hehehe...

discovery and 535 got any big difference? cos i onli get to see 535 demo video... and it's good that it can climb over wires... as my room inside got plenty of wires across the room...

actually not much of a difference, 535 has the lighthouse function and ability to schedule if you extra purchase a wireless command. Other than that would be roughly the same, maybe 535 slightly better in cleaning and bumping.

roomba discovery can also climb over the wires, but i think better don't let both roomba to climb, might eat your cables if is soft and thin.

Some wires, not all the time. My 535 roomba got stuck once in a bunch of wires so not 100%.

hmm... this pricing sounds good leh... US$250 x 1.6(based on Highest Currency Exchange rate) = SGD$400 + SGD$50 delivery to SG...

hmm... my cables are most RJ45 and power cords... should be okay... if this case, i will work my way for 535...

how come no one do MO? hehehe...

wah BEST already selling the lastest model. Our local dist used to be selling very old models in the past

woot.com seldom sell lastest products, maybe have to wait for quite a while.

 

[thewiseone]

Its not exactly BEST thats selling the latest model, its the gentleman from our local iRobot distributor who set up a stand selling it. When he's not around, u wont find a single unit @ Best Vivocity.

actually the one that is sold by local dist is 530 model not 535.

yeap, it shd be 530 selling at $688. 535 will most likely nt make it to woot anytime soon as mosmos said as it's suppose to be an exclusive HSN model. I tried ordering with HSN b4 using sg cc but it doesnt accept.

So naxchua, if u getting, hv to get it either thru US fren or concerige svc of vpost or cgw. btw, your calculations of $400+50, didn't include gst i suppose, so do add that in too.

mosmos, got a question for u. u using scooby 380 right? Hw big is ur plc? How many times u need to chg water? considering whether a 5800 is suffice for my plc.
