Summary: Cleans like a Pro!
Comment: I'm delighted with my second floor-cleaning robot! Scooba has done a wonderful job of cleaning my floors, inlcuding refinished hardwood. The floors didn't look dirty, but emptying the dirty water from the tank told the truth - ugh!
Just like Roomba, this is a well-made, serious piece of equipment, with features that are well thought out. It's a piece of cake to prep Scooba, and then empty it when the room is finished. I've done my 12 x 20 kitchen on a single fill, and covered my large living room, dining room, and entry by refilling the tank midway. The battery runs for about three tanks, so you can cover a lot of ground.
Keep in mind the limitations that other reviewers have highlighted - Scooba requires a neat floor without cords or excessive obstacles, it works more slowly and methodically than Roomba, it won't get a small triangle of floor at each inner corner, and it requires a special cleaning solution (actually, mine came with the direction that plain old vinegar will work, cheap and unscented). If you keep your floors NEAT, Scooba will keep them CLEAN!

Summary: iScooba, do you?
Comment: If you don't have this wonderful little machine, you are missing out. Lucy(what we have named our little Scooba Bot) cheerfully cleans our hard floors more often than this human would ever want to. What bliss to walk barefoot on completely clean floors after Lucy has done her job! My Scooba works well and really does clean thoroughly. One downside is that most times I do not get two complete cleanings out of the battery. The battery recharges fast so this is not such a giant problem. My kitchen/eating area is large and must be divided into two sections so that the floor gets evenly clean. Please note that the instructions say normal size room and large country kitchens are not "normal" apparently. All things considered though, this little machine sure saves my time while housecleaning. I do not know what I would do without my Scooba now.

Summary: No reliability, No quality control
Comment: One Scooba lasted 3 months, then it lasted less and less time, until it was finally only running for 2 minutes. I exchanged it for a new one. The new one never worked, it never put water on the floor. The next day, I exchanged the second one for a third new one. It also never worked, it never put water onto the floor. My Scooba then turned into a refund! I'll wait for the second generation when this product might actually have some reliability, hopefully.

Summary: It died after 2 months
Comment: I own 2 Roomba Schedulers and love them, so I was really interested in the Scooba. I love my Roombas so much that I gave my parents and my brother each one as presents. That being said....
Living in Florida I have a house that has 2400 sf of tile floors alone so the Scooba would be perfect. I really wanted to wait until the *second generation* to buy one, but the prices dropped from $399 to $299 at many retailers so we said - why wait??!!!
The Scooba is not as awesome as the Roombas but it initially did a pretty decent job on the floors. I have 2 incontinent dogs so it was a godsend. At any rate, after 2 months of using Scooba once every 2 weeks and fastidiously following the instructions, it started to only work for 30 seconds then stop and flash Service Code 1. The iRobot site was (very) unhelpful so I did a Google search and found that I was not the only one this had happened to. I back-flushed the vacuum system and found it had *eaten* a chunk of grout!!!! I don't know if this was the cause of death, but the vacuum part of the Scooba flat out is not working, and it fails diagnostic codes 11, 12 and 13.
I called iRobot and they told me to exchange it at BestBuy where it was purchased. I then called Best Buy and they said they weren't carrying it anymore. What does that tell you?
Beware...
Signed,
A dedicated ROOMBA (not Scooba) fan.

Summary: Love my Scooba
Comment: My daughter brought her Scooba to my home to show me how it worked,. The white tile kitchen floor looked so great I bought one. It does a large area. It cleaned my breakfast nook turned the corner and did the bedroom hall and turned into the bathroom and did that too. Easy to clean. I have a dog so I do swifter first to get hair so that I do not have to clean so much hair from the brushes. When my daughter used it,we did not swifter first and it still did a great job. Cleans all the hair. If you hate to mop or scrub and want a clean floor this is for you. I have white tile in all but the bedrooms and this is just great.
Does not get corners and you do need the special cleaner.

Meet your mop's worst enemy. In just 1 trip around the floor, this little robot cleans your sealed hardwood, linoleum tile or marble in 4 ways, it preps, picking up crumbs, sand and dirt, it washes, always using clean solution, unlike mops, it scrubs gently getting up the stubborn grime and it even dries, just fill it up with the included solution, press the Clean button and let it toil, while you crack open some bonbons, or spend the time on other chores. A single fill cleans a standard size kitchen floor while getting under furniture, going around carpeting and avoiding drops, the robot even comes with a virtual wall so you can block off any area, also includes an 8 ounce bottle of cleaning solution, battery, charger, charging brick and measuring cup UL listed 3x14 diameter.
