Valo, I have the 4260 and the 4000 models here. Keep in mind I did upgrade to the new battery, and the fast charger for the 4000. And I have the virtual walls, and the remote from the scheduler. The biggest differance between the two machines now.. In my oppinion... The black one looks sexier.. ;) A...

Re: Will my Scooba virtual wall work for my roomba?

Will my Scooba virtual wall work for my roomba? I'm guessing, yes. I can't imagine how it would be profitable to use different technology on each of their machines. My scooba walls and roomba walls are all compatable with each other, meaning that they work with both Roomba and with Scooba. The only...

Re: Before I buy 401 Roomba questions

I was debating on the upgrade discount offered by iRobot, but would like to know if anyone has any feed back on the performance of the 401, which I have been unable to locate in the reviews. I've located plenty of reviews on the Scooba, it's "sale mate", but wonder if I'd be better off wi...

I just bought the APS battery and self charger base for my 401 and it worked fine.. Just becareful that you get the right ones. The 401 has a slow charge battery in it. Either buy a new APS battery and charger as I did, or get the seven hour battery charger base

Free shipping was for any order over $100 when I made my order, and still is now. Had nothing to do with the zalespromo offer. Zalespromo saved me 25% off my total order cost. that's what I was fighting for.

I tested out doing that and for some reason the free shipping portion no longer works. Congrats on getting your credit! I've decided I'm not calling anymore. My next phone call will be to request return forms. If I have to fight tooth and nail over it, and re-order, I'm better off to wait and buy f...

About the only way to find out what models they have are to go to your local store and find out. They don't always have what they advertise (as far as specific models) although in our case an co-worker went and seen one that was in a local store here. Not sure how many of that model or what other mo...

Thanks for the reply. How does Scooba know when it is finished cleaning? Is it the size of the room or when it runs out of clean water? I'm not really sure.. So far I've just let mine go until the clean tank was empty. But you have to take into account that I'm playing catch up on my cleaning, and ...

Re: Scooba 5900 clean tank half full after run?

Hello. I am having an issue with my Scooba 5900 that I hope someone can help me with. In the past the Scooba used to run for about 35-40 minutes, but recently whenever I use it it runs for about 25 minutes and it is done. When I check the clean water tank it is almost half full. The Scooba was full...

I thought of that too. Even if I did have to return them and re-order I'ld still save roughly $150 over what I'm paying now, so it would be worth if for me to do it if they force me to. Though I do like the machines I have now. And they are getting a good work out. :)

Thanks
