I've been selling iRobot products full-time on eBay since Aug 2008.
The Scooba may not be a good choice if you are thinking of getting just 1 Robotic cleaner to assist with day to day. I would recommend something that can be scheduled and left to work on its own when you are away or out at work. The Scooba requires you to top up water for use and can't be scheduled and does not return to charge either, and may not be ideal for daily use due to hassle and noise.
If you need a robot cleaner that can vacuum and "wet Wipe"your home daily, can consider the LG Roboking ($858) or Iclebo Arte ($749)
If you are looking for something to do washing and scrubbing of your flooring on a twice weekly, can consider the Scooba, but only if the wetness is suitable for your laminate flooring. If there is a risk of damaging the laminates then better not go for it.
As there is no exact measurement for wetness and what may be deem suitable in some cases may not be okay for you, would gladly arrange for a demonstration and you can determine if it is suitable for your flooring type.
Anyway best to read a range of review online and am sure you would make a good choice.

hi there,
if there's marble flooring around the house, and i'd like it to vacuum + mop 3x a week, what would be the best choice?
the roboking seems like a good choice, but i have a few questions :
6142 vs 6262 : difference is only in the exterior (square vs circle) right?
mopping cloth : must we use their proprietary cloth or we can just slot in any microfibre cloth for the job? if it is the former, how long can the cloth last before it needs changing? (e.g. 120m², 3x a week)
how's the lifespan usually like? (any spare parts that need to be changed periodically?)
servicing/repair : i notice on your store, there's no support for LG roboking. so what do we do if it requires repair? need to send back to Korea and have downtime for 1-2months?
and as stated in post 9140, is there still 1 year extended warranty for these cleaners?
looking urgently for a replacement cos my vacuum cleaner just died.. lol.

Hi,
Getting a Robotic cleaner to replace your existing vacuum is a good choice.
The LG Roboking models would do a good job in vacuuming and "mopping" your home. The Latest LG roboking 6262 ($858) is able to be scheduled as well, unlike the delay timer of the older 6142 model. Several improvements are made in the LG Roboking 6262 model, It senses objects better, is able to climb heights of 1.5cms and it reaches corners better as well. All Robotic CLeaners comes with an extendable local warranty of up to 2 years.
We do Repairs "on the Spot" for the LG roboking Models. You would barely be without the Robot. Do know that getting the Robotic cleaners from other sources may result in delay in repairs and services as there is difficulty in co-coordinating as seller may often be overseas.
Rest assured, We have all original accessories and parts and you can purchase them on the spot during delivery (HEPA filters, Side brushes, Brushes, batteries are all readily available.)
If you are keen on getting one and are undecided between the various models, am sure could always arrange for a demonstration to compare. Would do my utmost to assist. Many thank for the interest.

I don't even think Newstar 100W is safe, it might still overheat & burn, or repeatedly auto-off during charging if Overheat Safety feature kicks in. U ought to get Voltage Convertor of 150W rating to be safe.
From my user's experience, I think I used a transformer for close to 2 years w/o problems. If you want to use a transformer, do get the right model and I don't remember burning any chargers.
On the contrary, some mod ones do give me more freq problems. Having said that, it is certainly a more clean cut solution and less messy.
Just refer these 2 posts regarding Scooba cleaning solution:
