iRobot Scooba experience

[kangkeng]

Blame it on the flooding in the mid-west lor...

My woot order (placed 23 Mar) was only picked up yesterday (info sent in on 25 Mar)...

Now in transit and is only expected to reach VPOST USA (Portland) on 2 Apr

By the time it reach here, zzzzzzzzzzzz

Amazing. My wooted 535 arrive at VPOST in Oregon yesterday and VPost processed it the same day. Didn't know Vpost could be that fast. Total shipping charge S$54 (after 10% discount, wo insurance)

Do you folks usually buy the insurance on the shipping? The extra $18 seems a bit of a wastse.

I shipped one each to vpost and borderlinx, both arrived on the same day at each of the centres. Borderlinx shipping charge is S$57 (use this code 66788). Waiting for vpost quote coz they can't match my invoice.

I bought 3 new pcs at USD 14 plus shipping USD 6 at ebay. It is a new design (no longer red colour body and yellow arms) that I was told to be more durable, also 6 arms. If you buy in Singapore, u won't be able to get such deal i believe.

Need paypal to buy from ebay. I can help to buy if you want, send me an email to yctan82@yahoo.com

Mine also just arrived at Vpost last night - they sent me an email this morning

I think it's outsourced - so those guys are more efficient

Total shipping charge is S$63.14 (S$50.74 for weight and S$12.40 base) before discount.

I am waiting for another purchase from Shoebuy to arrive before getting them to send it over

Anyone knows if can use the discovery series charger to charge the 500 series?

Are they compatible in terms of DC voltage?

I have the 220Vdiscovery, and my 535 is the 110V version.

just wondering as well, can a discovery/400 series battery be used in 500 series roomba?
How abt accessories like brush, side brush, virtual wall,scheduled remote control, bin etc?

Battery no, different batteries.

Accessories - brushes/bin all different. Remote control scheduling is different coz 500 series uses RF for scheduling.

Virtual wall i heard still can use but not too sure about that.

tempted to but didn't cos' a 535 on HSN is about $20 more after discount?

 

[dankoo]

Cannot find any 535 in HSN??

 

[chuliufen]

hi guys where can get extra battery for scooba and roomba, i dont mind more powerful the better, they might be expensive abit more also can, since the bank havent charge me for the robots so far, i kinda doubt they might anymore

Now my folks cant get their hands off the bots!

 

[dankoo]

if it is the 500 series, than dont have mod batt. You have to get those from irobot.
