Depends on the seller's packaging. Ranges form $55 - $150. 610 should cost more as it comes with additional box of accessories.

Like I said in few of my previous post, roomba might cleans better although it looks like a headless robot with it's random cleaning pattern. Navibot has the edge by employing latest mappin technology but well, we still have to wait for more reviews. Furthermore, I think roomba's accessoires are easier and cheaper to get than navibot. :)

1) Letting go my old roomba 400 model.
come with new battery that can last almost 2hrs of cleaning.

Complete w Charging base + 240V charger but no Remote Control.
This model is able to do schedule cleaning, but needs a Remote Control.

$150



2) Roomba Red @ $30 (no battery), unable to charge.
Good buy if you don't mind using external charger.

If you want to pay much more just for warranty then get from them. If not you can get from me. Many forumers here get from me. ;)

Yup. I just bought from him. He is very knowledgeable and reliable. Those "old guards" in hwz who knows me should know that i do not give such compliments lightly. In fact, i have a decent reputation here too.

shipping only battery will get banned. but shipping battery as an accessory will not. that's what i got according to the borderlinx livechat CSO.

so many electronics these days all have battery. might as well say ban all electronic items liao.

Roomba 560 Power Brick LED Flashing

Hi Guys ,

Wonder if anyone can help me out ? My Roomba 560 is about 1 1/2 old , The battery died and i bought a replacement one . That when the trouble started.

My new battery didn't last very long and soon it died on me. That's when i noticed my power brick's LED not really working.

I bought another battery , but now the power brick's LED is blinking , then it just goes dead. Or it will say Error 5 on the Roomba then the LED on the brick dies.

My unit is an overseas one and I'm using an AC DC Transformer.

Does anyone have any clues ? OR selling a powerbrick?

Cheers
pls drop me a PM or something.

The stumbling tassels aside, the intelligent mapping seems pretty impressive. The bot gets close to the edge and the cleaning pattern is efficient.

yea i know ebay sellers will ship direct.

what i'm saying is when you buy a battery and you ship to a forwarder, it will be banned.

I am looking thru this post, ebay and the irobot website. I was confused with all the various different model for roomba. Even the 500 series got so many permutation.
May I know what the different in the 415 and within the 500 series got 550, 555, 560, 563 and 581.

By the way, is the 560 selling here is same as the 563 selling in local irobot distributor?

All 500 series has the same base robot except for some accessories.

The 560 is the same as the 555 and again with additional auto virtual wall.

The 563 will be the US 562 pet series.

The 581 being the top of the line model with lighthouse is the same as the US 570.
