iRobot has an authorised dealer in Singapore from which people can buy the iRobot range of cleaning robots be it the Roomba, Scooba or accessories.
The iRobot authorised dealer is located at Upper Cross Street and does maintain a website listing the models available and the corresponding prices. The dealer has also done a good job to promote the iRobot Roomba through making units of Roomba available at showrooms islandwide and demonstrations can be seen at Courts Megastore in Tampines, Robinsons in Orchard Road, Best Denki in Vivocity as well as at the distributor's main showroom.
The prices of Roomba and Scooba from the authorised dealer is a little steep considering the retail price of the products back in the USA where they originate from but these prices factor in warranty and support. A Roomba 500 series will cost around SGD1000 while back in the USA, the Roomba 500 series is only priced around USD400.
It will be worthwhile to get your Roomba from the authorised dealer if you want a hassle free Roomba experience since 1 year warranty and support is included and there should be not much waiting necessary since the dealer has existing stocks of Roomba and Scooba in Singapore.
I highly recommend for all those interested to buy fomr US direct if possible. The authorised dealer here has very bad service. I can understand that they do not make money from oversea buyer like myself. I wwas looking for local adaptor and both phone calls i made to them, they sounded very fierce and not willing to disclose even their name. No information was given though i was informed by my friends that they do sell to oversea irobot set owner at higher price. I am willing to pay the higher price and feel very strongly I should not be discriminated as long as I am willing to pay. i heard from my friend who owns a local set that their service has been very bad and because of that she is no longer interested to buy any irobot from local distributor.

Must everyone bow to u because u have money?

Why not just get it from local importer of irobot. Autovacstore.com offers great price!! there is another website called robovac and i think both of them provides great service according to reviews on facebook and forums.
ReplyDeleteGood price by them!! Much cheaper then local distributor
My Roomba 780 stopped charging from the external quick charger after the 2nd day of purchase. I called Autovacstore support as I purchased it from them. 2 days later, they came down in the afternoon as scheduled and determined that the external battery charger was faulty and not the battery itself. The technician went back to his company and came down in the evening to replace the external quick charger. I'm impressed by their great services and commitment. Their on-site appointment is accurate to the hour which is difficult to achieve in the service industry.
DeleteThe so called authorised dealer website has been down for a few days. Wonder if they are still in the business or not. Can someone advice?
