I bought my Scooba at a very cheap price from a US site called www.woot.com. This site has one item per day deals so you will need to be very patient, checking back daily. They will occasionally have Scooba/Roomba on sale. You will need to use a US address though; eg. shipped to a friend or use a Borderlinx account. I don't think they ship internationally. A bit of a hassle but a Scooba can be yours at only USD$99; RM350. Note that you may get the refurbished set and it's the older model 5900/5800.
And regarding the cleaning solution, it's a bummer that we can't get a Scooba cleaning solution here. I find the solution really effective and cleans dirty floors very well! I tried Kiwi Kleen (blue one) and still find it foamy. The vacuum filter traps moisture, indicating the solution is still foamy.

Same problem here. The 1st time charging works but subsequently I cannot fully charge, it stopped after 10mins. Is it battery or transformer-charger problem? Any solution or something can try out? QUOTE(aremad9 @ Jun 18 2009, 06:48 PM) Hello guys....share your Irobot here...regarding where your buy...price....problem....anything..... i'm using Irobot Scooba...buy from amazon..so far so good except the battery dry after 30min....maybe because of voltage converter (220v to 110 v) is not suitable...or maybe battery problem...now i'm buying new battery from ebay...

Hi there, i would like to get one roomba 560 too or roomba 530..
I believe some gentlemen/ladies here have been using roomba for almost more than 2 years rite, may i know are they still running well?
do you guys buy for the parts (i.e brush, filter, side brush) when purchase the roomba?
i search thru ebay, there is roomba560 selling at RM1.4k+ with modified 240v, is this a good price? or quite high for it since it's a 2~3 yrs old model..
Thx..
