Summary: Scooba Dooba Do
Comment: Well, I am still undecided about this little creature! Unique yes, but I would not say it holds up to the advertisement. I use it on my hardwoods and tiled floors. I love the job it does in smaller areas like my tiled bathrooms. On my sealed hardwoods...well the floors are left very wet, and I have yet to see it not miss areas, leaving streaks I can see when the sun shines in. My entire first floor is hardwood at about 2000 sf of space. Although I use the virtual wall and keep it in smaller areas to clean at a time it still misses areas and my floors are wet for about 20 mins after cleaning. I do agree it is handy but I could clean the floors myself alot faster and better. I aslo have trouble with Scoobie Doo, we call it, requiring alot of attention for checking the tank when it is full or just wants some attetnion it seems. Funny little robot. I will keep it for another 30 days and make my final jusgement if it is worth the $$$. :)

Summary: Fun to watch, but...
Comment: I started it on a floor with uniform dust, so it was easy to see where it had been. It made a lot of mud on the first pass (40 min) but cleaned most of it on the second. 200 sq ft is very ambitious for anything other than a superficial clean. If the floor is moderately dirty, I estimate it will take two passes to do 150 sq ft. My room is long and narrow, and it consistently missed about 5% along one wall. Both passes! It also got stuck in one spot, and was drawn back to it as if by magnetic force--3x in 5 minutes. But, it does an adequate job on a fairly clean floor and it's fun to watch but oh so frustrating when it misses the same place over and over and over.

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.

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.
