maestro 0 Report post Posted November 15, 2007 I've ordered a Scooba 5800. Anyone got any idea how to mod the power supply?U can find the info by searching around. Still if you are not familiar with electrical stuff and soldering I recommend getting a good 100W transformer instead.how much are these darlings? looks like they cost quite a bomb..for starters, can we get the scooba 380 and free the roomba 400? is it gd?btw is there any accessories that we need to get?U ordering from USA? This package is good if you need both types and the features. Scooba 380 - highest end scoobRoomba 400 - lowest end roomba(feature wise) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Elemental 0 Report post Posted December 17, 2007 Hi,I know of a shop who can get the Roomba 560 at $910 as long as he can consolidate a total of 12 orders. This is direct from the distributor in Singapore, hence no need to do any modifications or to get a transformer... warranty, etc, all valid.I'm doing this because I want to get one for myself too. Interested pls PM me. Hopefully if the orders come in quick we can get our Roombas in 2-3 weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dennyon 0 Report post Posted December 17, 2007 Hi, just wondering... those of you who have gotten the 220/240V version charger for the 560 roomba, would anyone be kind enough to snap a picture of the circuit components of the charger? I think a lot of people around the world would be grateful to you. I know it's kinda fat hope, but just asking. hahaha...
