Hi may i know Which model is good for granite flooring(uneven surface)

iRobot Roomba is the most aggressive cleaning robot that'll climb up & down surfaces up to 2 cm, and coupled with its patented self-adjusting cleaning head module, where 2 high-speed brushes sweeps up debris small & large, it'll do a heck of a job on ur granite floor.

I've been selling iRobot products full-time on eBay since Aug 2008.
For local ready for delivery items & local round the clock tech support from me, pls visit my eBay iRobot store: uno bliss | eBay

Queries can PM, or email me unobliss@yahoo.com

If it's very rough type of floor surface, you might like to consider the aerovac bin as the normal bin has a lip that tends to leave some dust bunny during transition.

You can visit my site Robovac iRobot Store and checkout the roomba 550 that has many free accessories wih an aerovac bin.

Hi, actually I believe most of the Robotic Cleaner likes the iRobot Roomba, Neato, Lg Roboking and Iclebo can handle ,most types of flooring including granite with ease. However the rough flooring may scratch the base of the robots.
Besides flooring, you may want to take into consideration other factors like the type of cleaning pattern the Robot deploys, the floor area of your home and of course, price. The roomba may not ensure complete coverage for larger homes. Do read a range of reviews online for better comparison and I am sure you would make a good choice.

Nope, these robot cleaners are fairly durable and the scratches or marks occurring on the top or bottom of the robots are purely cosmetic, are should not affect its lifespan or cleaning functions.

Got a similar question, think it has been answered before, just want to cfm again ... Does Roomba 'scratches' marble/granite floor as these are normally more vulnerable compare to most homogenous flooring we have these days?

Roomba is the only Robot Vacuum that won't scratch floor, cos front wheel is swiveling nylon wheel (like office chair which will pivot according to direction of movement), rear wheels are rubber tires.

Neato has 2 small fixed axis plastic wheels behind.
LG Roboking has same fixed axis wheels behind as well.
Fixed axis wheels will scrape across floor when robot makes sharp direction change, and plastic obviously is harder than nylon.

Hey UNO,

Nice dealing with u yesterday for the roomba 560. Really appreciates it when u put trash bags over the box so it will not get dirty! Really thoughtful.

Let me know when my 415 is ready.

Great seller and superb service!

Again a China OEM brand, that Dirt Devil markets as well using their Brand Name.

Let's compare the bottom structure:
iNOVA (aka Dirt Devil Whiskers): http://www.deal.com.sg/sites/default/files/new_images/Nova Robot Vacuum 3.jpg
V-Bot RV-10: http://i1228.photobucket.com/albums/ee451/uno_bliss/RV10mod.jpg

I've used V-Bot before and can consider it a piece of junk that I don't even feel like DIY a replacement battery (which I could easily do), V-Bot also has a tiny ~2" vacuum opening in the middle, dusting pad behind, no bottom sweeping brushes.

V-Bot also talks about "Random, Spiral and Along the wall" modes, which of course is essentially how Robotic Vacuums clean, but V-Bot does it time based, ie. do (i) for X mins, then switch to (ii) for X mins, then switch to (iii) for X mins.
There's simply no intelligence at all.

I recently met another customer who already had Agait EC Mini: EC MINI
Her friend recommended Roomba, so I delivered it, she told me her Agait was "stupid and useless" (quoted from her). I now see Agait EC Mini being sold at SPC petrol station for ~$180.

Welcome S'pore to the world of cheap & dumb robots. Hopefully we can catch up to US which is 10 yrs ahead in automated home cleaning.
