You mean your 5900 runs with only that amount of blue Magiclean? I tried the green Magiclean with my 5900 but it seems like i need a lot for the 5900 to work. How does the floor feel after the cleaning sessions?

Yes that's all I needed. I used the blue Magiclean, i started with very little and slowly worked my way up. I think the cleaning is ok, given that 1 capful is for half a pail of water the amount in the scooba shd be abt there I guess.

I observe some strange behaviour of my Scooba 5800 after testing for last 3 days.

1) The scooba will turn itself off few minutes into cleaning cycle intermittently. While at other times, it can clean until the clean tank signal is on.

2) Sometimes, it cannot turn on with power button.

Anyone can share if they face such problem and the solution? :s11:

where did u order your 570 from? some sites doesn't take sg cc, so it will be cancelled.

derekkcloh,
Irobot doesn't accept foreign cc, u have to use google checkout.I had my order cancelled 3 times before making it thru google.

Mosmos,
read u have 3 roombas, now that I have got to know my trilobite some, think i may need to add more to the robot family.Can u share ur routine with me please? u see, we have a new place that is 4 storeyed, each at a size of between 150 to 200 meter sq.Trying to figure out an efficient way of tackling the cleaning routine...

BTW, Irobot have a new roomba 580 out for some time now. Does any one know how it differs form the 570 model other than more accesories?
thx.

Hi guys,

I have a roomba remote and a virtual wall (both non scheduler) unused. If anyone interested just pm me to offer a price. Both are new from the roomba 4xxx package.
