iRobot Scooba experience

[blurrblurr]

either buy from the local distributor (unless they charge exorbitant prices), or consolidate with others buying from USA.

Since Irobot is replacing for me free, I just pay the shipping only. I haven find out the price in local but I know it wun be cheap either

I hv been using kiwi kleen (apple) since getting my 380 months ago. Juz use a little bit (<1cm on the scooba cup). Too much will make the floor sticky. Really save a lot of floor cleaning solution. A <$6 bottle will last a looooooooooooooong time.

mine is onli 104. The 380 can clean the living room + a bedroom, A fully charged battery will last for 2 changes of water. If you keep it in a room it will clean til "empty tank". You might want to 'shift' it to other area if you feel that the floor is clean. The most amazing places to clean are the kitchen and toilets! It always impresses ,e after it cleans the toilets.

Sorry, i dont hv 350 to compare. But I guess the diff is speed which translates to less cleaning area.

It all depends where you order from. From ebay it cld take a month, from woot about 2-3weeks using vpost.

If u order on ebay, it depends on the shipper. I got my 350 from Ebay in 5 working days via USPS. Only if u encounter a slow shipper will yr shipping be delayed.

It depends on how many runs you allowed the 380 to roam. But, i guess about 500f2. You see the 380 doesnt run a fixed pattern, it uses some kind of logic algorithm to move. If you let it stay in a room for a looooong time, there is a bigger chance that it will cover most of the area which it can reached, except corner as it is a 'round' thing!

would it stop by itself when it already hit 5 times for all the places? or it will just run crazily until the battery run dry?
