iRobot Scooba experience

[boluilang]

I haven't got any new scooba charger on my hand to try yet.

 

[pyromance]

Just modded my Scooba 350 at Continental Electronics. So far so good!

Can share y u guys prefer to mod den use a stepdown transformer?

hey ALL...

just my experience with the bots...


red was good.. lasted long time .. about 2.5 years.. main prob at the end was battery..

discovery.. best thing.. returns to base.. worst thing .. same .. battery...


BEST EVER .... SCOOBA ....

especially so for locals in Sing... coz we really like our floors clean...

works well .. extremly clean.. I dont even use additional cleaning solution.. just tap water...

use every 3 days on the floors.. gotto move furniture about.. but its great coz I just let the bot go do its thing.. and I go out..

might be a little damp .. BUT only for a moment.. no more damp than if you mopped the floor...

find it noisy if I stay at home while its cleaning.. BUT.. really it is just like having the vacuum on.. same same..

... better than the red and discovery... coz those just vacuum.. not clean enough.. some more gotto deal with dust.. which I really dislike..

with the scooba.. just clean out the bot when it has finished.. dust will be in the water.. trapped.. wont go airborne.. NOT difficult..

BEST machine for the home ... EVER...

for anyone thinking of gettin a bot for the home... SCOOBA it...



........................ I got mine from http://hammerschlammer.com/

........................ then I went to sim lim tower to mod the charger.. the shop is CONTINENTAL ELECTRONIC ENT.. #B1-25.. look for MR. KHOO.... especially if the bot you got is new.. coz it is a different charger than the 1st scooba..


all the best...

I will prob get another... soon...

Hi guys...joined this forum just to ask this question. Currently interested in getting either Roomba 560 or Samsung Hauzen vc-re72V. Any advice on the latter? Realised that Roomba is really erratic in the cleaning process and also heard about it breaking down frequently. Besides, it's made in China. As for Samsung, my only concern is would it have the same problem as Roomba in terms of maintenance? I have also read somewhere that Samsung Hauzen has difficulties cleaning rugs.

As for Scooba, seems like I have no choice but to get it since there's not much other brands,

Is the price consider cheap?

Is the price consider cheap?

most of us get from USA which is abt 1/2 price, but of course usa ones no warranty + 110v power adapter.

green roomba is not too over-price

for scooba, prices a bit too high.

battery will last abt 100mins, not sure how big is yr hse

but for me, a 5rm flat with many furniture, vacuum area is not too many, so is enough.

the green one is a old model, but still as efficient as the new ones less fancy technology such as lighthouse.

I am using grey discovery SE, which is similar to this green model, serves me well.

But do check whether sg green model include the homebase and 2 virtual walls.

green one price is not too far off mah, buy from usa deliver back may cost near to sgd300~

other prices are too expensives, esp scooba.
