iRobot Scooba model 390. Glad I missed this previous deal https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/192454 , as I got it for $100 less, pick up. Harvey Norman sticker price was $599.01.

Fyshwick, ACT store of Harvey Norman, in a big stack near the entrance to the electrical section. No idea if it's at other stores, I can't find the product at all on the website.

This is a floor WASHING robot, not vaccuum. Although this model will also suck up light dust as it washes. Hard floors only.

Official iRobot product page:
http://www.irobot.com.au/Scooba390

"With a simplified design and longer battery life, the new Scooba 390, our premium floor washing robot, builds on the best of the Scooba product line. Using a four-stage cleaning process, Scooba preps, washes, scrubs and squeegees your floor for you, removing up to 98% of common household bacteria. No sweeping required. And unlike a mop, Scooba never uses dirty water to wash your floors.

Scooba 390 is safe and effective on selected hard floor surfaces, including tile, linoleum, vinyl, marble, slate, stone and sealed hardwood. Just fill and at the push of a button Scooba is off and running."

It comes with 4 sachets of cleaning additive, but apparently you can also use diluted vinegar in this model (but not for marble floors, and never use bleach): http://homesupport.irobot.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/165/~/…

        Won't it be nearly an hour before they are open? This is WA trading hours after all….

        • User_153999 on 17/05/2015 - 12:29

          Wish i did read this early! Went there and they are closed so have to wait till 11 :\

        No Scoobas at the Bunbury store :(

        • User_153999 on 17/05/2015 - 13:20

          Just checked at O'connor and they have them in stock. They said they will not price match it. Advertised price $599! No deal to me.

        • salem on 17/05/2015 - 13:35

          @Bnjam3:
          Yeah I get the feeling they have them this price in ACT because they've been sitting there for ages and ages not moving at $599. I certainly wouldn't pay that for one.

        • User_153999 on 17/05/2015 - 13:40

          @salem: The original advertised price was over $1000! So they were trying to convince me that $599 was a real deal :)

    Awesome price!!!!

  • salem on 17/05/2015 - 12:21

    Turns out it ignores my existing Roomba virtual walls though. Only respects the virtual wall that came in the box. :(

  • muncan on 17/05/2015 - 12:42

    Just one (demo?) available at Mt Barker SA, according to my local store's computer. Also at Mt Gambier SA too. Let the rat race begin…

    HN Malaga WA also won't price match. They said different state, different franchise… Too bad!

    I called my local store, he tells me it is a Fyshwick only special, I called Fyshwick and the will let me buy one over the phone but I have to arrange my own courier.
    Luckily I have a friend from Canberra visiting on Tuesday, he's grabbing me one today.

    • User_153999 on 17/05/2015 - 13:27

      Same thing just called them and they said you have to arrange your own courier. Very hard to find a courier that is open today to call them and ask. Will pass on this one.

    • siriuz on 17/05/2015 - 14:15

      Hey I'm from Melbourne too, could I trouble you to get a unit for me as well?

      • Melbourne Cowboy on 17/05/2015 - 14:22

        Hi Siriuz, I just called him and asked, his work only gives him carry-on, which I'm using. Sorry dude (or dudette)

        • siriuz on 17/05/2015 - 14:24

          Ah alright, thanks very much for checking! :)

    • hollykryten on 17/05/2015 - 17:22

      I don't think this friend would have got it considering that apparently it went out of sock at lunch time.

  • hollykryten on 17/05/2015 - 14:24

    That "big stack" at the Fyshwick, ACT store is probably already gone. I mean going by the photo there was only 15 new unopened unit stock in that stack and you'll have customers from the whole of Canberra going there to get it now that every body knows about it after the deal of it was posted on Ozbargain. There is one floor demo unit.

  • JPB928 on 17/05/2015 - 15:40

    Sold out

    • salem on 17/05/2015 - 15:41

      You were out at Fyshwick? Let me know and I'll set it to expired.

        Confirmed out of stock. =(
        Apparently they ran out at lunch time and they had been on sale for 2-3 weeks!

          My first ozbargain sellout! :D

        • hollykryten on 17/05/2015 - 17:20

          Thought that would have been the case since there was less than 20 units on the floor and it was Ozbargained.

        • salem on 17/05/2015 - 21:11

          @hollykryten:
          You can't tell from the pic, but the stack was 2 deep as well as 2 wide, so around 30 in the pile. And as mentioned, it had been there for at least a few weeks. With the relative lack of plus votes compared to clicks, I didn't think it would be that popular.

        • hollykryten on 17/05/2015 - 23:12

          @salem:

          This is Ozbargain any thing that is deemed a bargain is popular.

      • JPB928 on 17/05/2015 - 20:40

        Called the Fyshwick store direct and they told me "no stock"!

      cant you call good guys or somewhere else and confirm for us?

  • User_153999 on 16/06/2015 - 13:41

    Any one bought this can provide us with feedback about it? Im looking to get one from ebay but not sure about the quality and how good it is.

    • salem on 16/06/2015 - 14:55

      I like it. I don't have stupidly dirty floors though. Just large tiles in the kitchen and dining and bathroom and laundry. 2 people and 2 cats. No kids or dogs. Pop it on once a week to do one area. Takes about an hour I think to run around. Makes loud squeegee noises. Leaves the floor damp but not wet. I also roomba vacuum a few times a week to keep the dust down.
