Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of iRobot Scooba Floor Washing Robotic Hard Surface Cleaner
Customer Review: Works like a champ
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased the newest version of the Scooba and the newest version of the Roomba.
I was kind of skeptical when I saw the Scooba demonstrated on TV,so I thought I would do a test myself.
I have 4 dogs,who traipse through the kitchen many times daily,bringing with them leaves,sand,shedded hair...you name it.So...I swept the floor first.I then ran the new Roomba over the same area,kitchen floor.I let it run for about 15 minutes,turned it off,and inspected the brushes and dirt-catching chamber.I was amazed,and mortified...because all this time I thought I was doing a good job of sweeping.My old Roomba is still running well..I use it upstairs exclusively.
The amount of hair and dirt the new Roomba collected was astounding!!! The only drawback to the machine is that it may get stuck under the lower kitchen cabinets,which it did,but it told me it was stuck,and I moved it. Because the lower cabinets are difficult to sweep even with a conventional broom,I forgave the robot.So now,when I want to use the Roomba,I just sweep under the cabinets.Which takes about 1 minute.No huge time sacrifice on my part.
So,after the Roomba swept the floor,I mopped the floor using a conventional mop, and mop bucket.I used a good floor cleaner(vinyl floor).It looked pretty good after I was finished,and then after it was dry,I put the Scooba to work.
First,it made a thorough sweep of the floor to sweep up any light dirt I may have missed,and that the mop might have missed.Then,it started its scrubbing cycle,and saturated the entire floor(after "learning"the layout of the floor) with the cleaning solution(you can also use white vinegar if you wish).I just let it do its thing and after about 45 minutes,it stopped and let me know the tanks had to be changed.Here came the moment of truth:I turned it over and emptied the dirty water into the mop bucket.It was as black as ink.Again,I was horrified.It is difficult to keep a house clean with 4 dogs,2 cats and 4 parrots,but I always thought I was doing a good job.Was I ever wrong,and was I ever surprised to see what the Scooba had accomplished.
I am completely satisfied with the Scooba,and some of my friends will be getting them for Christmas!!I have told the absolute truth here:I am mad for the Scooba.Using any kind of mop is just not good enough any more.I have to use my little,faithful Scooba.Give it a try.
