      What I need is one that will empty itself. 😉


      Have. But it costs about $500 per month, but works on all bins at home.

      😆 :rotflmao:

        My first thought was some blue liquid that you could place at the bottom of each dustbin and whatever rubbish was thrown in would be dissolved into thin air!...and was thinking…Wah, so expensive, need monthly replacement some more! 😆 …..and THEN, I realised….it’s the MAIDS! :rotflmao:

          Mine work for free. But I had to feed them for several years before they got big enough to empty trash. They only work on alternate days because I have 2.

              Lucky you!

              Like you I have two . But I misplaced the instruction manuals and did not install the programs properly .So now they work intermittently.

              Most of the time, I have to empty the bins myself.

                I’m having this small little fruitfly like fly hoering around my kitchen top/sink area even though I don’t leave any fruit/food/rubbish exposed. They seem to be multiplying faster than I can kill them.

                Any idea where they usually breed?

                  Drainage hole in sink. Pour bleach down and dry all damp areas. It may be necessary to scrub the cover.

                    If they are still under warranty, you can send them back for re-programming.
                    Otherwise, you can try troubleshooting yourself:

                    a. Find and press their reset buttons. They are usually found at the bottom of the unit. Sometimes it is better for you to drain them of power first before pressing the reset button.

                    b. Try to uninstall Facebook, Twitter, SMS from the units. These tend to bog down their logic circuits, making them unresponsive and sluggish. You may also wish to detach the units from iPhones or Android phones. This can be quite effective, judging from my personal experience with my older unit.

                    c. If all else fails, you might consider disposing of them. See http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=48873 for specific instructions on how to do it properly.

                      Is http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/forum/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=14740 useful when we get the intermittent glitches?

                        That might void the warranty on the units. Please ensure you use the product according to the recommended operating conditions. If you have lost the manual, you may purchase one either from MCYS or MOE.
