I hear that the new models are better and come with more battery life... they can do 800 sqft in single charge.
Also now there are few alternatives available from LG, Samsung, neato, etc...

As for Scooba (wet cleaner) you can use white vinegar instead of their proprietor solution. I am thinking about giving it a shot. (with curse to these maids)!

I need to buy a power adapter for a model(531) I bought in the US recently. Any pointers where they might be available locally in the country.

Mails to international resellers have gone unresponded.

There are two types of robotic cleaners you can get in India.
One is the Robocleanz from Eureka Forbes, and the other is the AutoClean Emperor from Burgeon Systems.

Still no sign of the Roomba and Scooba here yet, though there seems to be some kind of office in Mysore.

MSI has launched automatic vacuum cleaners in India:

Hello,

Came across this post and was wondering did anyone finally manage to buy and use the product in India? I am planning to buy one and was wondering if its available in India?

Once again this is becoming a priority for me. Do we have good robotic sweeping/mopping equipment in India, at least in 2013?

Any first hand experiences?

Croma has about 3 models starting from 12k I think.

Their online site has only 1 listed though.

No first hand experience, but I've seen demo's in their store.

Just wondering - how did you solve the problem the last time (thread was started in 2008 and hence the question)

Last time we found a maid servant eventually. But this time it is even tougher.

The Milagro link actually has directly copied videos from the Burgeon Systems website.

I have used this product and found that it is great as long as it is used in dry climates, as this product is electronic after all.

I used it heavily in our house, and with four dogs, the machine really got loaded with hair and required frequent servicing.

Hence, as long as there ain't too many dogs around, the machine works fine.

@samurai - this doesn't look very helpful.

the LG one showcased here seems to be much better. I guess you can get it from abroad.

Thanks Manolin. Looks like it is only a cheap chinese rip off of the original Roomba. The room coverage logic is really bad. I don't believe in buying chinese made stuff unless they are backed by a responsible brand that ensures high QA level.

I am using this one for about 15 months:

This is very good. I had to import it from the US. The laser mapping works as shown on the website.
