iRobot Scooba experience

[shau61]

Hi All,

I am interested in the Roomba 535. Read from here that HSN does not accept Singapore Credit Card so unable to use VPost but how about vConceirge?

From vPOST websites:
"Even with vPOSTUSA, customers are still unable to buy from some websites, i.e. websites that do not accept International Credit Cards. Now this problem is gone! vPOSTUSA members can now order from your favourite websites through vCONCIERGE."

Please advise, or is there other ways? Tks

how about buying from Amazon?

For Amazon, local credit card is fine. I go woot and use paypal to get cheapo old roomba/scooba. : ) I used to go ebay but might not be reliable, but so far so gd. touch wood.

RV1 removed totally without replacement.

F1 is the fuse which i replaced. it is the maroon color button round shape component below the RV1 word in the picture.

i am using roomba 560, charger model 17062.

irobot store use google checkout will save all those credit card problems, any sg cards will do.

heard that the red octopus shape side brush break easily, maybe should get some spares. Other brushes, i think not so important as they are hardly. My discovery brushes + filter still intact until now, no need to change a new one at all.

Maybe you wait for woot.com to buy a cheaper 510 for spare accessories.

Is confirm break easily. It breaks after sometime use when it keep hitting on somthing. There will have a new replacement for it as long as your warrenty vaild. And I just use a super glue to glue them back while waiting for irobot to send me the replacement

like i mention before never go talk about your oversea address. When they ask you for address just tell them vpost one or comgateway, whichever one you use to ship it last time.

Or if not just tell them u move house and the new address is xxx.

Then you are clear to talk whatever problem your robot have and they will see how they can help you or if not you have to be firm that it is in fact spoil and need to be exchange and they will process an in-warranty for you.

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

someone said its ok to use a small mixture of magicleank as solution right? my 5800 can take in magiclean but not sure abt the rest of the scooba models.
