iRobot Scooba experience

[Jocelyn Lim]

Scooba 5800

After cleaning for a while, the "check tank" lights up. I flush the tank, use the suction to suck the pin and the "check tank" still dont go off. To repair it will cost me $150 as mine was purchase from US. Anyone can help?

Anyboidy knows where to get cheap roomba soft bumper or can we DIY it ourself? thanks...

U can easily buy a large roll of soft adhesive white foam (2m long, 5cm wide, 3mm thick from Daiso at $2. Probably can slice into 20 strips for Roomba bumper. Can last u a lifetime. It's originally meant to pad furniture edges to protect toddlers head.

I had mine done with Juboo, he does a great work. Quite fast too.

Also wanna commend his services cause I'm a new robot user. he took the pains to go through explaining the usage of the robot as well as proper care and maintenance.
thumbs up for this bro.

Thanks for the review bro tekster Did you do the 16 hrs charge directly from the robot? It might runs better after a few charge but if it doesn't, you might need a new battery. I don't know whether iRobot replaced a new battery when they refurbished it but I think they should have though I have seen a few reviews complaining about battery's life from refurbished units.

yup, did the 16hr charge. but dunno why it kept dying. think i play too much with it. hhahaha..

anyway, now i tried resetting it and giving another 16hr charge plus 72hrs. so hope it will be ok. 1 more day before i test out again. else really the battery is bye byeliao. sigh...

If I remember correctly your battery pack is the yellow APS NiMH right? If it is the black Nicd I still can help you to revive it.

 

[tekster]
