iRobot Scooba experience

[carey]

Someone else got the roomba 535 from woot. Seems like having the new CHM.

Mine has not reach VPOST yet... sigh

Mine is worst!

Still haven't collected from Woot yet...

Here's the warning from Fedex tracking site:

Flooding in Midwestern U.S. region may cause some service delays.

shipped out then never being charged, then pretend nothing happen lor.

thanks! that means will have to see how things take shape then

btw whats lighthouse, how is it exactly used with the scooba and the roomba, assuming they are fine on their way

 

[boluilang]

carey, mine also got warning... think nothing to worry abt

Thanks mosmos for the idea. Last time I placed the virtual wall there to let it clean living room, and bedrooms separately. I just wondering if I can use 1 lighthouse to block it, so that roomba can clean each room for abt 20 minutes and living room for 30 minutes.

Hi, just to check, would a 100W transformer from home-fix be enuff to charge the roomba?

yes, 100w is good for roomba. The transformer max rate is 100w, so no worry abt too much electricity bills.

Lol not worrying about electricity bills, cos wanna get a transformer tat my Wii can use also, and Wii use v low power...so depends on how much power roomba suck le.

Any where else to get quality transformers besides home-fix? Dun realli wanna get a newstar one also.

'Super' brand selling at sim lim, but i saw some forumers that Super 80w one is not so good. Their one damage after using for sometime.

Yours was at least picked up - Fedex has not even pick mine up from Woot yet

The page still shows "initiated"...kaoz

I beg to differ on Super. IMO, if u take a closer look at Super transformers, they are better finished (at least externally) than Newstar. In addition, i have been using my Super 120W for years to power both my Roomba and Scooba. My area has been prone to lightning surges and it has survived several major ones. I've also just recently purchased a new Super 60W for my cordless vacuum cleaner. Definitely better made than any of the Newstar, especially for the shutter release.

High capacity transformer

Does it matter if you use a high capacity transformer? I got a 400w transformer to support several US appliances such as 2 irobot batteries, Wii and PS2.

Thanks!

Hmm... seems like no Fedex packaging. Most likely our roomba 535 from Woot will be delivered in its original packaging ^_^

if Vpost charge u less than SGD$50, most prob it's original packaging... but if more than SGD$50 then you should be getting a extra box with some bag of air...

 

[boluilang]

Yeah, hope no extra box. will only reach vpost tomorrow.
