      Bought an Iclebo too. Pretty happy with the result so far. Floors are clean after vacuuming n mopping. But since I haven’t used robot vacuum before, not able to compare which is better.


      Usage is pretty fuss-free. Emptying the dustbin is straightforward. When it runs out of power, it just goes back to base to recharge. Can set timer n it starts work at the preset time with minimal manual interference. It did get entangled with wires n ‘called for help’ but otherwise, was able to move around on its own without bumping into furniture. For the mopping function, it’s basically like Puff says, like a wipe since there is no water inside machine to change. We also have wooden flooring so no issue with this method of mopping.

      Since it’s round, it can’t reach corners so do need to clean those myself once in a while. Intend to use it for everyday vacuuming n mopping. Hope elect bills don’t go up too much n the machine lasts at least a year.Fingers crossed.

        In case anyone's wondering, there is a one year warranty for on-site maintenance. But lazy me would of course prefer that everything goes well n need not call for maintenance.

          Iclebo is slightly thicker than Irobot and can't fit under my sofa :slapshead:

          It's too thick to go under my bed.

            Anyone tried the Neato Vx-11, seems to be smarter than the Irobot roomba in some reviews from the US. It doesn’t require much maintenance of brushes and has a Laser-based Room Positioning System sees everything in the room, avoids bumping into walls and furniture. Retails for around $599 with local warranty and free delivery. much cheaper than the iclebo, seems to be just as smart or smarter and cleans well too.

              After warranty ends they still do on-site service with no extra transport cost or service cost , just need to pay for the parts that need to b change.
              The sale ppl also told me they would loan us a robot in case your robot repair need more than 1 day :rahrah:

                Hi,


                I am a homemaker and am also very interested in getting automatic vacuum. I saw one in Best which is called naviBot that costs $799. Anybody used it before ? Any comments ?

                Thank you.

                  I actually wouldn't consider the navibot, firstly, the price is very much higher than a iRobot Roomba and the Neato Vx-11(the only Robot which seems to be comparable to the Roomba in the US) and i have heard that the suction power is very very weak, its basically a sweeper. maybe this review can help you. http://www.robotreviews.com/chat/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=13492 anyway, I recently purchased the iRobot Roomba 560 for $529 from http://www.autovacstore.com, really happy with results, picks up a ton of fine dust and i feel healthy too with lesser allergens in my home!! Hope you make the right choice. Cheers to cleaner homes!!

                      Hi Mrsneo,

                      Thanks for your reply. I am very interested after reading all these robots in the forum. I am looking for one that can vacuum and mop. With Roomba I still need to buy the Scooba. Need to seriously review all of them.

                      Thank you for all who posted their experiences to share. Appreciated very much.
