iRobot Scooba experience

[irobotvac]

Wait till you try roomba out immediately after you vacuum and you will ask yourself "damn where the hell all this dust comes from? I just did the vacuuming".

Agreed, I must say, roomba helps to clear up all the hairs and dust, making floor mopping (manually) much an easier task.

Most importantly, it requires less human "interaction", and with scheduler, home user is only required to empty the bin only.

For scooba, it needs "attention", but fine for me if use it once a week.

Irobot warranty

Hi

Would like to check if anyone tried getting replacement parts from Irobot under warranty successfully? I like to order the replenishing kits for the robot helpers, but wondering if i could get irobot to replace them FOC. Thanks!

Laneige,

I read you got the bumper for your scooba. You mentioned they give FOC filter? how did you get it? I thinking of ordering 3 pcs of bumper from robot addons, thanks.

Laneige,

u have to go their website, submit yr email. but anyway the payment isnt going to work if u want to ship to US address. If Singapore, no issue. If u face another prob, email them because the guy replied very fast to my queries.

i didnt receive the url or code to my email on the free filter n i think he told me to write down on comment box or so. But it will be better to send them an email to enquire n make sure they will pack one for u.

additional note= i have it ship to US address (havent see the box so no idea if its big) and I cannot make paypal payment as the shipping is tagged to SG=overseas=USD35 bucks.

So in the end I copy n paste cart infor and asked the guy to send me an invoice via paypal directly and I pay from there (calculate the US shipping + the items pricing).... n item shipped out very promptly.

they send me whole pack of accessories tat time.
everything here + the filter

cos it is unable to suck back the water.

in the end, solved it by replacing the brush cover., cos the rubber thing is wavey..

I thought I would share my experience with eBay, Virtual Shipping, Sing Post and Irobot so here goes.

Well I had the same issue with water not being sucked up with my Scooba 380. I kanna the issue with Irobot not responding because I purchased it from eBay. I argued that I purchased it via eBay but the company was a Authorised distributor of Irobot products (which was really true). Anyway they took the hard stance but a week later another tech support replied. After a few emails, they sent me new rubber squeegess and the brush cover FOC. I used a US Shipping address so they didn't know I'm overseas. I shipped it back to me and it cost S$42, Anyway it solved the problem for 1 time. After which it didn't suck the water again. So if you are registering on Irobot don't get conned and check purchased from eBay button.

If you're read my original posts when I first bought it, the ebay company shipped it direct via Fedex. I actually purchased 2 Scooba 380's (1 for my friend).

The ebay company I bought it from, asked me to ship it back to them and then they will ship me a brand new one. I shipped it back a couple of weeks ago and they received it this week via Sing post (7kg = $$120). They have shipped a new one out to me via FedEx FOC which I will be receiving sometime next week. At the same time I ordered myself a Roomba 560 as I couldn't resist the price they offered me from them which they are shipping together FOC. So hopefully by monday I will receive both items (according to my tracking number). Note: all are brand new units!

For the amount of money I've saved from buying it direct from the US and even shipping it back a few times, it's still cheaper than buying it locally in my opinion!

Also there are so many pax that have done the same thing here and the forum has a lot of details to be able to do it yourself. Yes you can go to the local supplier and get it but you'll be paying more than double the price of purchasing it from the USA including all shipping charges! So if pax are really worried about breaking down etc. Buy 2 as it's the same price as 1 ;-)
