RE: Advert: Roombas in the UK - IN STOCK

["White, Peter" <peter.white@xxxxxxx>]

Some facts:

1. iRobot are not supplying anyone other than Hammacher, Sharper Image and<= BR> Brookstone.  They do not manufacture a 'European version'. www.Roomba.= de is
selling imported models, the same as us, except we're not in breach of
copyright by using the Roomba brand identity in our address!

2. Our transformer is CE rated, the same as Roomba.de (except ours is 3-pin=
of course)

3. If you follow through the check-out process, shipping to mainland UK
costs Eu31.10 or just over =A320.

4. Mark and me are nice guys, and you know where we live ;-)

Our price includes VAT.  I'm not sure whether Roomba.de's does, it's impossible to see without actually providing c/card details and completing<= BR> the order.  Even if it does, I think you'd would still have to pay the= VAT
and reclaim it (this was certainly the case on a car I brought in from
Germany).

You pays your money and takes your choice....

Pete

I was looking at www.roomba.de the other day and noticed their units are CE=
marked and they offer a 2 yr warranty, is this the same with yours?

And you gotta laugh that they can ship it to Northern Ireland or nearly
anywhere else in Europe cheaper than your UK Mainland only P&P charge := /

Cheers, Des.
