iRobot Scooba experience

[mosmos]

can sexplain more abt it?

I am not sure how the sensor detects the liquid. According to roombareview, some places that uses hard water from tap and it works also. But too bad, our tapwater is soft.

I had tried to put only a small capful of clorox and the 5900 will not run, kept on flashing blue.

Some had try vinegar or a few spoonful kiwi kleen blue and it works.

for roomba discovery is about sgd$50.

The roomba red without docking station should be cheaper.

 

[croc1977]

no docking station how to charge?
no home base?

They will provide a charger which takes ~7hrs...you have to manually charge it.

I am not sure abt sending battery alone using cgw now.

do livechat or email them.

just buy from irobot store with your 15% discount.

vpost die die also won't send back battery.

I think another way is to bid for the batt via ebay and sent by UPS or something...may work...

lol! Mosmos!

If you buy an 'imitation' battery from eBay and ship to vpost it will cost you about us$60+... Of cos, the freight cost to SG is cheaper but vpost will not send battery now. DHL will cost a small bomb.

What we do now is: WAIT for and buy the us$99 remanufactured Roomba/Scooba from Woots! We consider it as buying spare parts loh... I just got a remanufacured Scheduler from Woot at US$99+$5 shipping. Shipping via Vpost to SG is S$52.52 (after 15% UOB discount). It will arrive next week, i hope.

Now, i am waiting for a remanufatured scooba (like 5800) fr Woot as spare parts for my 380!

Huh? Didn't know batt from ebay are imitation....
