iRobot Scooba experience

[naxchua]

i never oil.

how to see if brush turning slower?

eh... dunno leh.... the feeling lor... hahaha... maybe i think too much...

 

[dankoo]

Unless the motor burning out liao? Mine still ok....

Recently noticed a loud screeching sound coming from the bin...realised that I have to take the bin a part to clean as dirt is trpped there and this narrowed the airway and resulted in the high pitch screeching noise

I use UOB credit card. Try 1st time and it got approved.

Did they confirm the shipping details? Sometimes they will reject the order too.

both series have same type of brushes, except design different.

i find those brushes a bit redundant. Anyway, what's the diff between 5xx and 4xx? are they able to cover big areas?

I don't have 5xx roomba.

Other than lighthouse, both seems to perform the same to me.

now aiming at roomba 560, since it can cover 4 rooms, but how it covers? it will automatically go all the way out? Scooba sibeh stupid one.....that's something I started to find it troublesome to use

anyway, what's the best price for 560 so far? HSN and irobot both selling @ USD349.99, waliew.....ebay seems much cheaper.....

for 4 rooms to clean properly, i guess lighthouse can help a bit.

buy.com selling 560 at $287.36, although it show soldout but i can add to cart.

aiya, anything more than USD280 is quite dangerous, 7% GST is going to be $28, wasted leh.

USD280 is less than SGD400. GST kicks in only for goods that is SGD500 or more.

It has not shipped out yet, although shipping details are confirmed. Even the e-receipt is issued. Cross my fingers that it will get shipped out. It should cost me the most $400 including vpost cost. This is so much cheaper than the 1st generation roomba I bought online few years ago from irobot.

i'm considering letting go my Scooba 335.

Has there been a change in regulation? It was SGD400 before, did they increase to SGD500?

is still $400.. unless website not updated...

Custom GST of 7% is applicable for all items imported into Singapore, where the CIF (Cost, Insurance and Freight) exceeds S$400. Please see the following example for the Custom GST computation:

Based on feedback on roombareview has been good, it's really yr choice.

Sorry for the wrong info. I've always thought it is $500 before GST is charged. Did they lower it to $400 or it is always $400?

haha... my order is cancelled. guess they can't process my credit card since the billing address is wrong.

now eyeing at Roomba 560, seems like most of the places can't deal lower than USD250....including shipping.
