Added on March 2, 2011, 7:11 amI have some tips to before you decide and go.

Roomba 530 is without time and 7-days schedule
At home must have people to press clean button to works for you.

Roomba 550 if your home have pet, cat or dog so the AeroVac Bin can help to pike up more hair and less for dust with time 7-days schedule.
But come with many extra accessories.

Roomba 560 for normal working person almost not around.
But time schedule is really help you to clean up at 7-days schedule after you when back home and feel the floor is really clean and your feeling good.

Accessories you can ask, such like battery, filter, brush, many more.

Currently i have one stock available model is Roomba 560.
Photos to look like.






Thanks.

Can I know any place selling Irobot in Malaysia ?

i heard a lot ppl complaint about the original battery with Roomba, it dies very fast, some said it could due to always charging in the docking port. Some said need to buy a spare replacement battery which has a better capacity and durability.

You got do repair?

if you serious then maybe can help up of personal doing the repair for you.
what is the model?

rombo 780, was the latest in 2011. It charge, and everything look fine but just don't want to move and sweep. Just stay there, even manual press the clean or use remote.

got backward? or turning circle? or dancing?

also try to used your hand turning on both side wheel see got stuck or not

Wheel nor jam and turnable but motor not running.

got video more easy to solve

While the Roomba is practical in sucking up dust, I'd like to share info from personal experience.

There are four people living in my home and we have an American Eskimo dog. He's got medium length fur that sheds quite a lot and the three ladies of the household have long hair. This is a nightmare for maintenance of the Roomba. It gets clogged every few days and I can't find the energy or the time to de-clog it and when I do, I find myself wishing my dad didn't spend any money on it. You also need special equipment to clean it. And by special equipment I mean a face mask for when you empty the dust pan and a screw driver for unscrewing the rotating brush in case there's hair tangled there, and an accessory provided by Roomba to untangle hair from the brushes.

So if you have a pet or live with people that drop a lot of hair (or don't quite have the patience for the maintenance), the Roomba isn't for you.

Hi, I am looking for a new vacuum cleaner and planning to a robot vacuum cleaner coz both me and my wife are working and no time to do this. Any good brand to recommend? I also read from this forum about getting the robot direct from US. Is there any issue? Please share. Thank a lot!

Roomba would be more troubleshoot on hairs/fur or dusty on body or chassis at someway in cleaning head module.

So far I found the Neato signature pro had much useful without it empty maintenance issue.

Get a robot direct from US is not an issue,
The main thing on voltage of charger.
The other thing on after usage for while, if any problem like PCB faulty or no power at all or some reason why.
Then you may send back to US for claim the warranty.

In m'sia local retail is won't care for you. Let said Roomba 780 here in retail the only difference on charger universal.

But price is close to 3k do you think and pay for premium price? Can not be right.

They is depend on 780 & 390 models only.
Cause can be lesser troubleshoot on other models.

Maybe you can read here for my recent in personal review.
Persona Review

If you ask me? I would recommend below :

Common use Roomba 650 & 770 (but not as smart still in budget to be have one)
Smarter Neato XV Signature series (the biggest improved, maybe you can try this model now, these is quite reliable today)
Advance LG Roboking 6200 and above model (Roboking is the most quiet model, even function & feature still the advance, reliable is about same on Irobot too.)
Mopping the Scooba 390 only (Scooba 390 is good you can't do not have one, if you floors is biggest space or due to human can't work like robot to be able on runs here & there's, to have one can be solve all the problem, the only slightly noisy to compare all here, due to suction vacuuming the water up on dirty tank, so you may force to accept this machine)
Mint Plus is slightly in budget price, but for me is not useful, cause I don't have time to be monitor or change cloths for mint.

Hi, I am seriously planning to get a robot to vacuum my house. Read a lot on Roomba but not much on this LG. Which one better and what is the price diff? Do you still selling Roomba? Your LG imported from Korea or you are just a local distributor?

Hi if you ask me for personal, for sure is LG Roboking VR6260-62 model is best and smarter.

Cause most of Roomba will bang to toilet door and go in the 30-50mm height of drop for bang the water tap and kill himself.
Also Roomba picks up dust for 1 cycle in 1 Hour is not enough still can see somewhere got hairs on floor.

Roboking can give you feedback totally near to prefect can't see got hairs or dust at corner.

This is seriously.

Yap we are the only Local Distributor from selling LG Roboking since 2011 until today and specialist for repairs & services.

You pay a little bit higher price buy can make you happy that is more worth for money and return to you.

Everything refer here : www.kimirobotstore.com

Thank you

Also Roomba 700 series hepa filter size too much can be easily blocking by dust..lol

All Roomba & Scooba Parts & Accessories you have too.

Parts & Accessories

Thank you.

Hi everyone, I have a Roomba 650. Just bought it but it can't seem to charge. Does anyone know how to solve the charging error? I've tried searching solutions but none seems to work.

Nice to meet u in phone called.
I guess had solve the problem already.

Hi, may I have your outlet address and I will drop by your shop to have a look on the robot. Thanks

Seriously, try not to buy robot vacuum from US or other country that are not using 240V.

I bought a couple of electronic stuff from Amazon.com using 110V, even though it works fine with 240V converter. but i noticed the quality somehow like degraded.

4 out of 6 item burned after few months of using them.

Sorry we dun have shop.. Due to wanna cost saving and sales more value of money then just decide to pay and ship from JB only.

Thanks

Don't worried, my www.kimirobotstore.com

Go to other robot & accessories for you needs

Yaya, i think ur product is OK. i just advise other forumer here

Can you PM me your price for Irobot vacuum cleaner?

Pm replied.

I lived in the US for more than 10 years. Have bought lots of 110V equipment during my annual visits to the US and using them with two 240V converters very frequently including my NAD amplifier, Panasonic DVD changer, Singer sewing machine, Nintendo Wii, Dustbuster vacuum, Black & Decker power tools, Dremel and of course my Scooba.

The key is to buy a good quality converter. I spent close to RM200 each and they're still going strong.

I like the Scooba but there's a loose rubber part somewhere in the tank and it's spilling water after 3+ years...

True agreed with u.
If i buy expensive converter i rather fork out money to buy 240V product at malaysia.
but diff case for u la, since u move back.

Come to using transformer step down may gave some error charging on during longer charging time.

I can said is not stable for conversion after usage some time.
These may spoiled on original battery life or some may spoil directly into robot.

For after converted into 240v that is good and safe for using in 24hours power on at homebase.

Like Scooba may take longer time in charging also.

So far what I had sold to LYM here. I think is very minor got an issue in charging or after warranty.

Anyone home, we can chit chat more on robot here

Dear Kelvin,i got a poodle dog and long hair. which robot vaccum will u recommend?

For more budget can consider on Roomba 650 for 1 hour job only, if got budget then go with LG Roboking VR6370LVM for suit your house bigger floor area & up to 3 hours maximum job per single charged.

Your roboking import from korea? Can work with the same voltage in malaysia or not... or need converter?

All Korean product made from 100-240v universal voltage.
Check the photos http://www.kimirobotstore.com/themes/red1/...tem_id=201&ref=

Will you all buy from Qoo10? Anyone know Is that original item from LG & how with the warranty?
I noticed that the price is much lower than shop.

If any problem can we repair at LG Malaysia with pay?

Buy from qoo10 may kena tax after reach to courtier service. (35% tax)

Warranty are zero, have to ship back

Malaysia never see that model.

Thank you for the information.

I am considering getting a robot vacuum for my apartment, mainly to pick up hairs as it's driving me crazy to see hairs on the floor. Any good recommendation for a decent machine that vacuum and mop? I surveyed Lazada but I still like to hear some recommendations from forummers here.

Budget preferably mid range around RM500+ but I don't mind to explore options of up to RM1k.

Xiaomi Robot Vacuum 1st gen is good enough...big battery and uses LDS to scan. Probably selling around 1K.

i'm using Dibea D960, around RM700+ got both vacuum and mob function and battery can last for 3 hours continuous usage, the D shape can clear corners really well

the downside is that the AI not really smart or the sensor not really good in detecting obstacle and bang the chair/sofa leg very often, sometime it fall down the rail of the sliding glass and stucked, sometime it run to the curve surface of my table fan and stuck also, but other than this it works really well in sucking up dust and hair and i didnt mop my floor for very long time already

Did you get this online?

yes, you can get this from lazada, even its spare parts as well
