Comgateway even charge repacking charges... how come yr package is 45.19lbs when i check amazon or those that state weight (incld packaging) is like 15lbs or so. How come yrs so expensive.... they really ship in those super big box that exceed the actual weight of the items:s11: pls show pics of yr packaging when it arrived. Thanks
cos i believe the 5 bottles of clorox...is the culprit

Actually it can support but maybe at its max. :crazy:

To play safe, buy another 100w one lor, or buy a higher rating if you want to plug 2 irobot into 1 transformer.

For me, I had 2x 100w transformer in use, 1 for roomba + 1 for scooba external charger. Still got 1 spare 150w transformer as I bought it cheap last time at home-fix, abt $28 before member 5% discount.

Each transformer to a timer plug set to 3hrs. After use just put back to charge and after 3hrs timer will auto shutoff power supply. :o

HSN has the Roomba 550 and the Scooba 340 on sale as a bundle for $469.95 with free shipping for both!

First time HSN customers can use coupon code C56574 to drop the price to only $399.46 for BOTH with Free Shipping!

The Scooba 340 has been widely discussed here and is well known as basically being the functional equivalent of the $499 Scooba 380, and the Roomba 550 is basically the $379 Roomba 560 with different packaging.

For Roomba if u are using it frequently or on schedule, leave it 24/7. For Scooba, especially if u are using an external charger, its best to maintain a 3 to 3.5hrs charge time and then remove/power off charger to prolong battery lifespan.

i always thought SG sell 380 at $1200 :eek: So in this case, its way over mark up :eek:

.....so i can get 380 battery and parts for 340 and same goes to 550 model right. I wonder how they shipped the package then. Both in a super big box or seperately shipped.... headache
