iRobot Scooba experience

[WJY]

don't be surprise if they quoted $200 for a battery if you did not buy roomba from them.

if you are worried abt vpost shipping back battery from usa, you can go sim lim sq or tower to rebuilt the battery at abt $90+

$200???? they treating us as ROBERT? knn buy from net + shipment also not so ex!!!! for that price i can get another roomba already!!! really kill pple put fire!!!!

 

[sAxman_Returns]

they have no business sense to gain more market share.... i called them before and they are reluctant to give me info and location where i can seee the demo units except keep saying going to their office...

 

[sAxman_Returns]

If You got capital to, than we go engage in a hostile take over

 

[sAxman_Returns]

capital is always the last thing to worry about even if you take order one and then deliver in 2 weeks time, you can still make lots of money with that kind of Robert price they are selling. Let's talk about 1/3 of their margin right now, there is still rooms for squeezing some Roberts....lol!

my roomba yesterday on its second run stop halfway then blink red light. it did not return to base and charge. does it mean it is low batt? i don't know how long it run cause nobody at home.

red light means that the battery is almost dead. totally dead is even when you pressed the button, no light come on. since it was on its second run, most likely the battery ran out.

you can try a few more cycle and get a gauge of how long can it run for in a single charge.

cannot wash the bin with water, because there are some electronic components at the bin.

for me, i just faced the opening downwards and tap tap out the dirt into rubbish bin. you can try using a small brush (e.g. toothbrush) to dust out the fine dirt.

if you really want to use water, unscrew and remove all electronic part first. wash already make sure totally dry before using again.

I guess maybe the position of your docking base.

did you place it at a open space or 1 corner?
