      [quote=\"Lim chin choo\"]Hi, I wan to buy a auto Vacuum tat comes with mop, anybody use before? Can tell me which brand n model is good?


      The iClebo we bought has both vacuum and mop function, but we've ever only used vacuum and not the mop...


      Hi tks for the reply, will it bang ur wall or furniture? may I know Where Get this from. I want to go n take a look. It's worth to buy?[/quote]It does not bang walls, does not fall off the edge if it's cleaning on higher ground whose edge is higher than beyond the edge (e.g. from living room to kitchen, if you living room is higher than kitchen), and there is mode selection to decide whether to allow it to go above carpet/rug (if don't select, it will not go up - treat it as obstacle and then move on).

      In terms of furniture, I realise this:
      If your furniture has a large surface area that is upright (i.e. not lying flat), then it has a lot of 'obstacle' for the cameras in the auto vacuum cleaners (avc) to detect, and so the avc will not bang it. I have some dining chairs and because they only have 4 narrow legs of which two are joined only at the bottom on the floor, the avc's cameras will not detect these chairs' presence and will bang on them.
      I felt cheated initially, but rationalised that this is a machine so there's limitation. If you drive a car with reverse sensors and feel that you can reverse with peace of mind forever, you will get a rude shock if there is a metal pole/bar serving as a barricade, as the sensors will not detect a narrow piece. When I thought of that, I came to terms with it πŸ˜‰

      DW felt it was the best thing we bought when we moved house, but being the fussy person I am, i still think it can be better... :evil:

      We bought it at one of those IT fair/show, when we only wanted to go and get tablets and TVs. But the shop's office i remember is at Suntec, and they have a permanent sales cart/booth at the area outside... i can only remember Sports Station, as I don't go there often, on level 2.

        Hey guys!


        I just joined just for this thread as me and my better half been looking into getting a robotic vacuum recently as we saw quite a few of our friends using it plus our cats really giving us a headache on this. Fur everywhere 😒

        I asked a few friends and got offered a few options like iRobot and Roomba that are around $300-$600 :censored:

        Managed to find one when strolling around Funan called Robomop. Not bad lah it's around $60++ and it came with some washable refill. The guy there Ben was quite nice as well and explained to me how it works and what not. I just brought it home charged it up and let it run around my house for awhile. It did manage to clean my floor quite well and it's soft so didn't scratch anything or any of my furniture. My cats seem to like playing with it too!

        Quite value for money so just another good option if you guys wanna check it out! Can find it at Funan just next to Pastamania!

        Cheers! πŸ˜„

          This sounds cheap and good. Can you post a picture of this gadget? What is the name of the shop?

            Personally I have come across and seen it.
            It definitely can't compare to those vacuum robots, that it why it is $300-600 as compared to about $50-60.

            It is like comparing apples and oranges.

            Of course, it is definitely up to the individual on their preference of cleaning bots πŸ˜„

                http://cdn.coolest-gadgets.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/11/robomop.jpg\">[/quote]Hi guys,

                There's no name to the shop cause it's just a booth in the middle of pastamania and a camera shop. There's a wooden floor with two of them roaming around. Think the company is Scansupply? The one that brings it in to Singapore. There's a website where you can get the other peripherals like the refill all this. http://www.scan-supply.net/robomop/

                I'm still at work so can't take a picture but it doesn't look like that eh Scang! Think that's maybe older or different one. Mine has like a mesh and it's soft so can flip around and get to corners I think (sorry don't remember the sales talk :oops: )

                I admit it's quite a straight forward and simple idea but it really is quite effective is but I've only used it for a few days so no complaints so far! πŸ˜„ (plus gives me a bit more time with Fifa 13 and the missus can't say anything :boogie: )

                They got a facebook page as well here! https://www.facebook.com/RoboMopSingapore

                Cheers!

                        you might be able to google something of interest too. When I was assessing the avc’s, i remember seeing a youtube video of someone comparing the iclebo, irobot and the samsung navibot. in the video, someone has a odd-shaped room, with a camera installed at a high location, then pour i think some coloured powder on the whole floor, then took turns to let the 3 avc’s clean up the place. when they go past, the powder will be sucked up by the avc’s so it’s quite obvious which one is better or worse…
