NEWS Product Description
It is time to stop combing. IRobot, makers, and top-selling iRobot Roomba robotic vacuum cleaner, comes a revolutionary new way to clean hard floors. Meet iRobot Scooba Floor Washing Robot, the first floor washing robot in the world that preps, washes, Scrubs and dries your floor – alone. Scooba does not work, but he does it better. Contrary to MOP and the methods of the bucket just spread dirty water around the floor, Scooba uses fresh Cl. . Read more>>
It meets the 80/20 rule. It makes 80% of the work you would if you did a good thorough cleaning themselves. But I do not usually do a good thorough wash me clean the floors, because I left the Navy.
What is clear, make sure that the floor is swept before the Scooba. (I use my Roomba since I am doubly lazy ..) Scooba tackle corners, but neither am I a mop.
line. . I do not mop. It is not my wife. Parquet never mopped. I have a dog and 2 cats. Thus, the kitchen floor still looks &*$(#! most of the time. But it is not. It looks great. I’d suggest that hate the mop & Just Want to (something or someone) to do ..
;
Scooba the first time I was clean, it ran, but the water came out, and ittold check my tank, so tinkered with (it took him aside and back) and it worked. Maybe I do not put the little rubber tube right or do things together do not break the first time.
It works very well in mud, dry and dry-gas emissions. He was not about a hard, hard Gunk would take a bit of scrubbing with a brush or a mop, some brush, but I do not expect them to. In my case, he got things like hardened Jelly & stuff, but what the trash was grinding on the floor in the last couple years, he was unable to rise.
When you are finished Scooba, you should empty the tank to the color and clean the brush and the tube removed, but for me, thats easier than cleaning mop. While some people do not clean their brushes, I would strongly suggest a Scooba.
; You will also need to buy a special cleaner, which I think is not so bad, because if you do not use it, you use another cleaner anyway. Scooba also effectively enough. he uses 1 / 8? Cup cleaner and is about a quarter of water in my floor (200 square meters. m). If I were a collector line, I would have to spend more than two. J I tried vinegar, which was great, but Clorox appears to work better. I bet that if you used the Scooba more often, so the vinegar would be good.
the best time to use Scooba, I think it just before leaving in the morning, watch the TV downstairs, or to sleep (as long as 45 minutes with a hairdryer-sounding noise in another room does not bother you). In this way the country is dry when I come to it. Some people are complained that it left in the ground too wet after the pickup, but it seems to me that even if every day when I MOP.
So in summary, if you just want the floor mopped. Scooba away. If you have a perfectionist, this is not for you.

I was impressed with the ease of Scooba works. Each section is clearly marked on the machine and the instructions are simple. For the first time I used the Scooba, it started working fine. But then the “Check Tank” light fire for no apparent reason. I opened and closed the tank, so make sure it is securely locked and it started right again. I left the room and when I returned, when the cycle is complete, because it was very wet. When I emptied the dirty tank, there was hardly any water! It was clear that vacuum that squeeges the floor and sucks the dirty water was not working properly. I called customer service and they were very helpful and immediately sent a replacement part at no cost to me.
In fact, it appeared fine machine. When I opened and closed container, the portal has a few empty water around the opening and seal properly when the machine starts up again, making it impossible for a machine to create enough suction. I recommend that anyone having this problem, open the dry vacuum, air and water, or debris from the tank to close the seal carefully.
I have my Scooba a couple of weeks and have used it several times without any problems. It makes the floor much cleaner than I do myself and I know it will cleanse the kitchen floor is dirty, I’ll take care of business elsewhere. After the cycle is complete, I take an old towel and using the moisture left on the ground after the cleaning program, wipe the corners of my foot. It’s quick and easy! Needless to store under my Baker, without any problems and clean supply of a beautiful dog. One rainy morning, the dog left Muddy tracks throughout the kitchen floor so I put to the test Scooba, and it will override flying colors!
I think I’m in love! Until they have received my Scooba, I paid my teenage daughter to clean house and the other to contribute to his compensation. Believe me, I prefer the employer “Scooba, its own staff and a pleasant” Merry Maid “He has done a lot better and does not complain and complain when I ask that the field should be wiped. Scooba Hum rather than whistling as he works, which is music to my ears (I give to my daughter, in his opinion this week.)

I have two children (1 and 10 years for boys) and three large dogs (Great Dane, Mastiff, and the Shar Pei), needless to say, when the floor clean is a struggle. Sometimes I have the obsession with clean soil.
Every layer of my house is hardwood. I run twice a day (one per level) and now all of my things are no longer part of the dog’s hair and I can walk barefoot without feeling nauseous. If it went up and down the stairs is perfect!
Another bonus side effect is that, when used every day, he thinks of all this dust and dirt floating around the house and stick to other things I need to be cleaned as often in general.
I guess if I got out of the bucket, sponge and a set of knee pads I could do better, but really, who needs that in their lives? I suggest you move or stack things like chairs, dining room, that scooba’ll get all messed up in the feet and quit.
Only annoying thing is, firtst when I tried to start it I liked get a warning to check the tank for no apparent reason. However, a quick search iRobot website has given me a solution to this problem. (you must use a turky baster to force water through the pump started)
This is the best I’ve ever spent $ 300.

I ordered the Scooba think it would be good for the family for Christmas. What is better than a toy mops floors? The problem is the device does not work. . . do not spray cleaning solution after about 3 meters away. I called iRobot customer service and to me they enjoy the water valves and the corridors trying to flush the system. No luck. I visited the Forum, the Internet Scooba board and read the posts and realized that I was not alone. It seems quite a large part of the machines has not worked right out of the box.
Vertical machine at work, I paid to send the unit back to iRobot and they sent a new one. The new unit does not do either. Again, entitled “Customer Service iRobot and it made me enjoy the water lines and valves, cleaning it, to provide that … All in vain. IRobot, this time sent me a UPS shipping label to send the device back. I’ve made sure that the customer service agent to understand that I expect to get an operational unit yet. It’s work. No excuses.
third aircraft arrived too is not working properly. It dries after about 3-6 meters away. I went to an Internet discussion forum again and made a lot of reading. I have had several inspections and begins with the camera, eventually discover that the tank is pure water does not wind properly (form a vacuum when the water is pumped) and not take a cleansing agent. Today I went to Cape Clear off the tank during filling, when I started the machine and it seems to work perfectly.
when it works, it works well.
My question is, why should I do to develop solutions to shortcomings of this machine • Is it too much to ask that $ 300 OFF the machine correctly striaght box? “I do not make any adjustments to carbureator my new car. I’m not an engineer repairs to my new central vacuum system, but when he is installed. New should mean “fully operational”, right?
Otherwise, this does not warrant the Amazon. If you get frustrated and want to restore the Scooba machine, can not after 30 days. Read the Amazon or your money back! My proposal for Hammacher Schlemmer. You can pay a little more, but they are the return of life, no questions asked. (So who is this “life” is? Hammacher Scooba Scooba to 4 years). Hammacher has been a post office for years. They have a good reputation.

I decided to write this review after 3 months of intensive use my Scooba running at least a weekly basis.
I have a good experience with my iRobot Roomba 4210, and usually, when I was a problems with my Roomba.
My Scooba will not work from the outset, it does not inject water at all. This is not the case. 1 Appeal Scooba owners. Here’s what I had been a result of the management boards of a number of other reviewers:
1 Use the syringe to inject water in the blue “nipplet” – add a small mound, where drops of water reservoir at the base.
2 Pour a half glass of water on the floor and let the Scooba run it.
When these councils, Scooba pump started working and I am watching this prep robot, washing, drying and vacuum my floor without a flash. Amazing. Scooba Clorox solution is also a good thing that most linoleum and tile.
The only downside Scooba 5900 is its limited coverage, inability to work, tiles and textured noise, but the “All in all, I am very pleased. Roombareview is also full of experienced people who can help you with spam. Good job, iRobot!
