The Roomba 960 is a robot that vacuums your home by mapping it out, and going from room to room to clean it. This model even recharges itself and resumes cleaning when it runs out of battery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Roomba 960 requires a WiFi connection and the iRobot Home app to control and customise your new robot cleaners routine. Other than that, you can catch up on Netflix while your house gets cleaned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I Can’t Seem to Access the Prices on Amazon US?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Lots of stores on Amazon US only ship domestically. In order to see the price, you’ll need to use a US ZIP code. I used the Portland ZIP code “97250”, and you could use it too if you want. The ZIP code you use won’t be applied to your shipping address \u2013 you only need it to view the prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If They Only Deliver Within the US, How Can I Get the Roomba To Singapore?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

You’ll need to use a freight forwarder to get your Roomba 960 to Singapore and fortunately it’s easy. You’ll be able to get a US address from whichever one of the best US freight forwarders<\/span><\/a> we’ve compared, and your Roomba 960 will be sent to their warehouse before being forwarded to your Singapore delivery address.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Based off the Amazon product information, we’ve calculated a rough estimate using each freight forwarder’s calculator:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to go with the cheapest shipping option to maximise your savings, you’ll want to use ezbuy’s ezShip to send your Roomba 960 over to Singapore. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve also used Comgateway a couple of times, and it’s my personal favourite because of their impeccable service, but yes it’s a little bit more expensive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the same note, my colleague bought over S$400 worth of items from the US and UK through vPost<\/span><\/a>, you can also check out his personal review and see if it’s something you’d like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the best things about Amazon is that it’s very consistent, even if your’e using it in different regions. The process is identical to checking out with Amazon Singapore, with only two differences: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
