iRobot Scooba 385 available

[Lennart]

Hi all,

For Dutch forummembers: the iRobot Scooba 385 is now officialy available in the Netherlands. Prices range from EUR 415 to EUR 429.

Some shops that have it in stock:

http://www.mn-shop.nl
http://www.irobotstore.nl
http://www.snelwebshop.nl
http://www.roboti.nl
etc.

The "official" Clorox cleaning fluid is not available, due to a (claimed) conflict between iRobot and Clorox. I couldn't find anything on this conflict on the net however, so I doubt whether this is true. Anyone knows an alternative for Clorox (besides vinegar)?

Some french guys experimented with the readily available St. Marc (also available in the Netherlands), but their experiences varied, as far as I could understand: http://forum.palmattitude.org/index.php ... 259&st=240

@lennart;
Indeed, there is a conflict between iRobot and Clorox. We hope the fluid becomes available february next year. An alternative is to fill the Scooba with hot water. Because of the rotating brushes it don't need special fluid. (the fluid will help a little bit but it isn't a must).

With regards,
