iRobot Scooba experience

[boluilang]

I can do the charger modification for you for a small token (labour + time). PM me

Roomba should be fine.

New Scooba seems to have a new charger circuit, and could not be modified. Older model of scooba charger can be done.

Thanks for the link! Just modded my Woot purchased 535 to accept 240V without a step down transformer.

thanks! But is it "thick" enough to sustain the bang?

No problem! It sure is much better to see Roomba working without transformer.

The transformer is ugly

wow, this thread got so many pages on a vaccum cleaner!

Does this clean well? my mom is rather fussy with cleaniness and this will be a good cleaner for her!

Any cons on this sweet machine? What is the average prices?

Many thanks!

Does anyone know which courier service that will ship just the roomba battery back to Singapore?

Kindly advice.

onenow free 1st kg somemore....

onenow is under comgateway. just check with comgateway, they dont ship battery back too.

But what is the different btw shipping battery in package and standalone?
If we are able to ship the battery together with roomba, why cant we just ship the standalone battery.
It's still the same type of battery right>?

Ship with device is OK while by itself is not apparently. But I have ordered roomba Batt from roombaxchange direct with no problem.

Of the 3, only Borderl1nx still allows shipment of battery. I just shipped 1 scooba batt & it is on the way here (it cost about SGD20 to ship a scooba batt alone). Dont ever send the batt to vpost or cgw. you hv to pay extra juz to ship it to bdx later. We 'early' adopters had tried & done that! Scroll back many pages & u will read more.

yes i also receive 2 roomba batt and 1 scooba batt to borderlinx 1week ago. have spoke to their CSO on the live chat and they confirm that they allow shipment of batt.
i wonder what the diff for borderlinx and cgw?
Since both is using DHL, y 1 allow and 1 disallow?
