        No probs peapot.


        I intend to have the dishwasher next to my washing machine, I supposed both machines can share the same water inlet (hmmm, splitter from the tap?) and water outlet. Any advice from anyone here?

        Quite a lot of utensils and cutlery are dishwater safe, including milk bottles!

          The size of the dishwasher is the same as a std washer. Yes, u will need an inlet and outlet. Mine was done when I did renovation for the hse and decided that I wanted a dishwasher. So it sits next to my sink (for me to load in the dishes).
          U can call Bosch service centre to enquire how it can be done for existing flats. They will be able to advise u. Mainline: ( 65) 6356 1080.

                Hi all,


                Planning to go "maidless" in 2 mths time - I’m keen to buy a i-robot. If i buy a scooba, do I still need to buy a roomba ?

                Thanks in advance for the advice.

                  Hi,

                  usually its more advisable to get a roomba to do the vacuum and the scooba to do the cleaning (mopping)

                  Roomba is a automatic vacuum cleaner
                  Scooba is a cleaner that sucks dirt and after release clean water on the floor.

                  So its more advisable to get a roomba first. You can contact me if you are keen on buying a roomba or scooba. Thanks

                    Folding clothes … You can β€˜hire’ a washer to wash your clothes, a dryer to dry the clothes. Any machine out there or technique you used to sort/ fold/ iron clothes?

                      I went maidless 9 months ago. If you want to do a GOOD floor cleaning job, you'll need both. I started off with a Rhoomba and then eventually got a Scooba. Both do a fantastic job together but Scooba requires some minor washing after use (about 5-10 mins) and a few spare parts subject to wear and tear occassionally. Well worth all the $$$ I spent on them!

                      Get a good spin mop too to clean the edges and stairs (if you have them).

                        Dear fifyyeo


                        thanks for your advice.

                        I heard that the scooba at times may leave a trail of "dirty" water as it moves around - is that true ?

                        regards
