iRobot Scooba experience

[seowbin]

Just an update, I got my package from Irobot yesterday at 5:15pm

opening the box

my purchase. From left to right, roomba570, scooba380 and roomba400.

btw, buy individual transformer or use a multi plug to charge my mini army of irobots?..

get a huge step down convertor... (or is it step up? lol)

from 240v input to 110/120v output

den use ur multiplug

check ur multi-plug adapter 1st.. should be no problem support 110v/120v voltage.... i bring one bar to US during my attachment before to charge my stuff

such a big box, how much is the comgateway charges?

For me, I would get individual transformers as i am not charing them for 24/7. So after 3hrs, i need to off it. But of course, I got timer plug to help me to auto-off it.

Ya...pls share how much is the shipping charges?

Total shipping charges is USD$100.50. total weight is 29kg (volumeteric weight).

hmm, thought i read from somewhere in the instruction booklet to keep the battery charged all the time?

yah, many had mentioned they charge it 24/7 to get best results.

not considered charged 24/7 bah, i think it's to maintain its current only is it? But I think it is not taking a lot of current lar, compared to using normal vacuum cleaner running at 2000W....

Any idea how much would it take for the battery to run out? the 500sqft one....

Does the shipping cost your mentioned includes GST?

 

[sAxman_Returns]

GST is payable @ Singapore. As long as your total cost, including shipping charges exceeds SGD$400, GST is payable. That's why sometimes is not wise to combine shipping. 7% is a lot of $$$$...

no lah, water will still run out and you will have to refill.

eg 850sq ft, covers abt 425sq ft water will finish.

yah, sometimes separate shipment is cheaper.

huh? 425sqft only? then what's the point in getting 380?

A storage tip for all reman scooba users. After running scooba u probably need to air dry your unit. I got this large coaster from IKEA for less than $3. Fits just nicely and works great for me to keep it off the floor, better than spending $$ on the original iRobot storage mat.

Original iRobot Storage Mat US$12.99 here

 

[sAxman_Returns]

molecule, your scooba dun come with a storage mat?

have you tried the scooba on your parquet/laminate floor?

can mop larger area mah.

 

[sAxman_Returns]

can mop larger area mah.

how to mop larger area when 1 tank can only handle <500sqft? you get what I meant?

you can just leave it there and run, you still have to clear the tank when it's full and it's not able to cover 850sqft in 1 tank what?

eventhough a battery charge can cover larger area, the water tank is still the same size.

380 move faster and spray less water, so it can cover a larger area per water tank.

The battery 380 has is only able to run 2 tanks of water.

Other scooba also has same properties, you need to change water after they had used up.
