RE: [OT] Scooba - SWMBO kills it on day one

["Paul Gale" <groups2@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I get my new Roomba today, so will check what that has.

Did you ask iRobot UK to see when they're actually releasing the UK model -
the web site says coming soon...

I also couldn't get to the US site - it kept on redirecting to the UK site
- Grrrrrr again! ;)

Can you post a pic of the rating sticker and pic of the plugs - maybe we
can work out what it is...

Paul.
