Hi fifiyeo,Hi Pandan,
You can either get a part-time maid or if you chose to do it yourself, you can get a window glass wiper cum vacuum from Karcher ($99.90). It is a hand held wiper that vacuums at the same time. So there is no messy water dripping all over.
Thanks for your reply. I used to have a part time auntie but she won't clean the external window panels. I am looking for a tool that can help me clean the external panels from inside. I am not comfortable half hanging myself to clean the outside and most of the time I can't reach the far corner which make the windows look unclean and the water marks are everywhere. Its like efforts spent are all wasted.
Thanks. -

I would recommend a roomba as a start. It projects reasonable noise out of the vacumm but for me, i still can watch tv with it still moving around the house. Not so much of an issue for me.I have a dishwasher. Yes, it cleans well. Love it. Contemplating to get a dryer, but did not really like the texture of clothes after drying.
Now, I am thinking of the robot vacuum.... skunk, can share your verdict of its usefulness? Does it vacuum corners well? Is it noisy during operation? Do you have to change the filter bags frequently? How costly does each replacement bag cost?
TIA!
No filter bag, just a bin that stores all the dust, just a clip and the bin is removed from the cleaner. There are some filter thou. Its resonably cheap, a normal bin filter cost only $5 each. And can last up to 6months to a year. I have been using the same filter for 9months and I don't really see a need to change it yet.
There is a brush attach to the cleaner to scrub the floor, all of this little parts can be removed and rinse it so it is very easy to use. Visit youtube and you can see how nice and classy this little vacumm looks like -
I want to buy a good broom!

Well, not all maids can cook or like to cook. Just watch what some of them cook for themselves…gosh, I don’t think you’ll even want to think about putting that stuff in your mouth. I’ve had maids like that before. So my maids never had to cook when I had them. -

Hey, i bought my Roomba 560 from http://www.autovacstore.com too. Was referred by a friend, paid $500 for it, so far so good. seems like it picks up a lot of fine dust that i would normally miss with a vacuum cleaner. and its quieter too. I am considering the iRobot scooba 380 now. Anyone used it before? Anyway, the delivery guy was really friendly and helpful too, he did a demostration of the scooba and showed me how dirty the water was after a cleaning cycle. But i am still considering it due its higher cost (around $700) and its seems unable to reach the corners of the rooms as its round-shaped. Anyone used it before, could kindly provide some feedback?Hi Chloecube,
Sorry I miss out on this.....I got my robots from a local parallel importer. The local distributor is selling it at a ridiculously high price. But you might still prefer to buy from them.
Anyway, here's where I got from http://www.autovacstore.com and they even provide free delivery. -
Hi Mrsneo,
I have both the Rhoomba 550 and Scooba 380. Actually just got the Scooba from Autovac too about 2 weeks ago. :celebrate:
I'm very pleased with the Scooba and it's well worth it for me. :rahrah:
It cleans the floor well (as clean as my Osim steam Vac except I don't have to manually do it) but you are right about it not being able to get into corners. So you WILL have to get a mop to clean the edges and corners if you want a thoroughly cleaned floor. If your place is big, the Scooba will not be able to finish up cleaning as it will either run out of water or need a battery recharge as it is alot slower than the Rhoomba.
Cleaning Scooba is easy as it will take only about 5mins to rinse the tank and a few small parts. :boogie:
So now I'm exploring which is the best mop 'cos I'm not quite happy with what I have now. Thinking of getting the \"Spin Mop\" from Homefix.
Anyone got any reviews on the \"Spin Mop\" ? -
thks fifiyeo, i will go google on it. if really my maid leave in another 1.5 yr times, i will consider getting all the "robots" to ease my burden…

Those brooms bought from neighbourhood shops shed \"hair\" such easily and am wondering if I am using them in the correct manner. :evil:
