Not being able to dock on the 1st or 2nd try is quite normal sometimes but consistently having issues docking is a problem. Not sure if your home base is functioning correctly. How does your Roomba reacts when its due for docking and senses the home base? Does it adjust itself and home in at the centre of the home base? Or is it tracking to one side?

nothing, clear i made sure nothing was blocking...

im considering a scooba and would like to ask besides the batt strength, is there any difference between the older 5xxx models vs 340/360? things like intelligence, noise, speed perhaps?

Two big differences is the battery capacity and weight.

5800 battery can only last 1.5 mission while 3xx can last 2 mission.

5800 grey/shiny parts are made of metal while 3xx is made of plastic.

5800 is slightly noiser than 3xx ones.

for speed, only 340/380 is faster.

not just 2 mission, my 335 used to last > 2.5 mission

thanks mosmos for the reply and comparison. it appears the newer model would be the better option. i juz came back from courts tamp and saw they have a 335 for sale at 1.4k

haha, 335, seems like alternative channel to get cheap iRobot through the OEM models.

The L-shaped connector will have problem connecting to the homebase.

Alamak wait.. its 2A leh...

Thats like double the amp.. it will shorten the battery's lifespan... will overheat also...

USD250. Actually comgateway dun bother about you sending them invoice, you just key in whatever sh*t you want ICA to see will do. SGD$400 then will kena 7% tax. I got 1st kg waived so only USD26 nia. Scooba is much bigger and heavier......

but hoh, there is no similar offer in ebay, dunno why......now all above $300 one de neh.....

ebay one ish by luck one de neh. This seller was offering very ridiculous price but there was an "best offer option". Being hand itchy, I just sent $250 best offer, he accepted it and sh*t then I realized I have to pay! should have sent a much lower price

Hi, how you get the 1st kg waived?

 

[thewiseone]

No, its doesnt work this way. A power supply is rated to SUPPLY a certain current at a certain voltage. In this case, base on the specs, it is able to supply 2A of current at 22.5V. How much actual current is drawn depends on the load, limited by a max of 2A at 22.5V in this case.

Alamak wait.. its 2A leh...

Speaking of Scooba 335, has anyone actually managed to get one of this model? Looks like the HSN 335 is a decent deal, with some luck one may get a 340 for the same price. Am wondering what are the real diff between a 335 and a 350 (short of the external colour and latch material). Anyone?
