This is the actual weight of the solution, the volumetric weigth might gives you another surprise if they pack in a big box. Air is also heavy :s13::s13::s13:

thanks but why do we need to buy this clorox all the way from overseas, thought its mentioned somewhere can use those available here?

by the way wont mention names just yet but just found out someone (or maybe someones) is selling the replacement batteries and some parts at higher than the originals themselves, and there is not even an assurance they will work fine, think someone is making a pretty profit margin somewhere, just a note of caution to anyone interested. think someone called this 'caveat emptor' is it?

Not necessary, normally some are conservative. so will buy everything original.

As for replacement batteries normally i look for those with at least some local warranty. However the price of the replacement batteries differs on its variety of the capacity. Maybe is why there is price difference.

As per iRobot, the only solution to be use for scooba is their scooba clorox, tap water or vinegar. It is however the consumer's choice to choose what they want to use.

Using third party product is also your choice and most of the time it will work as the basic component is still 12 cells batteries connected in series and some circuit for protection in a battery pack. As for them selling higher, you still need to factor the shipment cost from US. Why should they bring it at a cost and resell them to you for no profit?

Oh thank you so much!!! u going to help me save $16+ hehehehee
btw do u have another coupon. because last time i tried their coupon is one time per use per acc and i screw up. send my disney package to borderlinx too.


Re Clorox
Mine came with the scooba and i see that one bottle pay abt $11 is still *swallow* reasonable ba. so i just ship them together. $11 is just the 'cost' price for me. and i really like clorox scent =:p

Where do you get the code? I googled but couldn't find a valid one. I need 2 code also as I need to split my shipping due to taxes when combined.
