paddie 0 Report post Posted May 1, 2007 Has anyone try Vacuuming Robots at home, any brand to reccomend?Thanks.I have an iRobot Roomba. It's very effective at vacuuming (except in the very corners of the house) but you have to spend around 5 mins after each run to clean it out thoroughly as hair and dirt tends to get stuck in the brushes. Also, the battery now lasts only 30 mins compared to 90 mins when it was new (2 years ago). Time to buy a replacement battery I guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So the charger is for 110ACV...Actually u should be able to get a transformer or adaptor to convert the charger to our local electrical requirements.Check out with places like Home-Fix, DIYHomes, etc - best if you bring the whole thing there and ask them if can convert.

Do you guys charge it even when you are not using it? According to the manual, it is suppose to be charging on the home base while not using it. Do you do it this way?
