I’ve a couple of stand fans for circulating air and cooling the rooms down but seems like the roomba 560 so not really like them.
The roomba 560 will climb onto the base of these stand fans and occasionally get stuck there, making that the last destination of its cleaning cycle.
So how can I avoid such situations? After some thoughts, I reckoned that I could:
- Replace all my standing fans with wall mounted fans; or
- Have a high tech solution of carefully positioned virtual wall(s) to exclude the fan area; or
- Live without the fans and use air-con instead; or
- Make the fan base difficult / impossible to mount
Well, seems like the first three are either too expensive or challenging so I would go for option 4 instead!

This is the scooba floor washing robot in midnight blue!
The iRobot Scooba 380 Floor Washing Robot from Woot.com finally arrived via ComGateway. The shipping, like the last time, is pretty fast. It took only four days to get from US to SG (via DHL Express).
For those who do not know about the iRobot Scooba. The Scooba is essentially a floor washing robot that automatically navigates around your apartment/room and does all the floor washing, scrubbing and lastly, squeegeeing. It does all the light vacuuming, washing, scrubbing and squeegeeing all one a single pass and it passes a spot multiple times just like the iRobot Roomba.
