iRobot Scooba experience

[sneezybum]

after several times use of scooba 5800 battery, it will become conditioned and will run for abt 1.5 mission.

thks, mosmos. Will monitor to see how.

I bought my scooba from LNT. If there is really something wrong with my set and my brother is gng to the States in early Dec, can LNT give me a full refund if my brother brings it back to the store personally?

Anybody keen to join getting the clorox solution for scooba? I'll be shipping some stuff over from US.

Hi Poseidon

I don't mind getting some Clorox solution as well if you are going to do a MO

Cheers

Have u done the initial 16hr charge on yr Scooba? Try running it a few more cycles to see if things improved. If not, PM me yr email and i'll get him to contact u regarding the Scooba Li-Ion battery.

Hi, the wiseone.

I was following the Scooba around my kitchen when the red indicator light came on, with the alarm sound. I pressed power again, but it won't move. The cleaning cycle had not finished yet. I will try again tonight when i use it to mop my master bedroom

I'm interested in the Li-Ion battery that you mentioned. Mind pointing me out as I am not really a regular visitor to roomba review. Thanks in advance

Sorry, my shipment is already on the way here to Singapore. You can try to get it from iRobot while they are still having free shipping and then send it to forwarder like VPost or Comgateway.

Hi, the wiseone

I did the full 16 hr inital charge on my Scooba before using it. So, I also shocked when it stop after 35 minutes. Will test out a few more times

Sounds like a good deal, especially if one is looking for a spare backup unit w/ full accessories...

I chatted with somebody from Halley Express, the local company in charge of delivering all CGW orders to us. He mentioned that payment by Amex will be accepted by all US merchants.

Don't know if it will work for you. but I made payment for my orders using Amex. I did not know of this Amex thing beforehand

Just finished testing in my master bedroom. Not much obstacles in the room, except for a 4 bedframe legs, CPU casing on the ground and aircon trunking which causes the Scooba to get stuck a couple of times.

Only clocked 30 mins on the 2nd run, well before the end of the cleaning cycle. I thought all was going well until it stop all of a sudden. I came into the room to see red flashing light

One thing to point out, my battery was charged to 100% last night and I plugged it out. Could it be battery discharge?

 

[thewiseone]

Assuming u r using the Scooba to charge the battery (not an external charger), u should leave Scooba connected to the power supply until actual usage, even when the battery is fully charged. There is a small current draw with the battery in place, even when the Scooba is not turned on.

Now on my 3rd run with a full tank of clean water. I timed it immediately after I disconnected it from the power supply. Now into the 11 minute of running. Will let you know the accurate timing soon
