Others say...
"Gets your floors 90% clean" If you are lazy and don't like hand scrubbing your floors on a regular basis, the Scooba does a great job getting your floors 90% of the way clean. No, it doesn't do a perfect job, but they certainly look a lot better than doing nothing or using a Swiffer (Dry or Wet). My husband was very skeptical about this purchase, but he's seen the light. It's very convenient to use. If you go a while between uses, have a turkey baster or a sports bottle handy to squeeze the excess air out of the tubes. It can be a little finnicky, hence the 4-star review. However, overall we're quite pleased with the purchase and our white linoleum floors look much better than they normally do! "?? Novelty Item ??" Bought two years ago 8/06. Replaced six monhs later (warrenty) new battery a year ago.New charger 6 months ago.Stop working all together july of 08. Only repair available is replacementiRobot 5800 Scooba Floor-Washing Robot "Great Product....WHEN IT WORKS!" This product works wonderfully...when it is working. I bought this at Sam's and used it weekly for about a month and half before it quit. Luckily I bought the extended warranty at Sams. They sent it off and back...and same routine. This went on 4 or 5 more times and is STILL going on. I JUST got it back today so we will see if the "problem" is fixed. Bottom line: No product should be out of service more than it is in working condition. This product still needs a LOT more work. "love it, I HATE to clean the floor" Vacuuming doesnt bother me, but mopping/cleaning my kitchen floor(hardwood) rarely happens (sad but true, and I have 3 small kids) so this is great for me. I use vinegar and it gets the job done in 45min. I have tried hoover floormate, and a steamer, and they always just sat in my closet(am I lazy? yes) only used a couple of times so i cannot speak to longevity, but so far so good, I recommend it. "GOOD, BAD AND WET OF SCOOBA" I'm lazy and my house is big so I was thrilled when I got this. The Good: you can definitely see the difference in how clean your room looks when this is finished. It's fun to watch too. The Bad: it is not good to have puddles left on wood floors, even when sealed. I don't care about puddles on our tile. It does not do corners. It get stuck too often and stops. What makes it get stuck, you ask? Some floor a/c vents. Our floor electric outlet. Even some corners. The worst are underneath the kitchen cabinet doors that are 2+ inches above the floor. It tries to get under them, it's too high and it stops. I have no idea how you could "turn it on and leave the house." I couldn't because I Know SOMETHING will make it get stuck. I love it anyway.

What our customer's say! "iRobot 5800 Scooba Floor-Washing Robot", It's a wonderful way to make mopping without human's efforts. The good time for using of the Scooba is then we are going out from the home. It has a good navigation and cleans more time in the especial dirt places. But I got it with relative weak battery, and it took a lot of time to recharge the battery. "A longer perspective: After one year, thumbs down for Scooba", I loathe and despise mopping. Not only that, it makes my lower back hurt. So I was excited to buy the Scooba, about a year ago, from a company that offers a 100% satisfaction guarantee. Here's what I've found over the year. At first, I loved the Scooba, and it worked well. But then I didn't use it for several months -- not intentionally, but sometimes when things aren't working you just sort of let them go. When I thought about why I wasn't using my Scooba, here's what I came up with: Scooba doesn't clean the corners, and it takes a long time for me to clean the Scooba, after it cleans the floor. When the Scooba was new, it was very clean and worked well. Now, the Scooba seems to not work as well because it's dirty. I do clean it between uses, but it's not squeaky clean. It leaves dirt streaks and little wet piles of dog hair behind on my floor. Maybe it would work better if I cleaned it more. But, how long do you want to spend cleaning the inside of your mop? Battery management is finicky. And my Scooba seems to have lost its ability to realize that it's done. It does not seem to go into "shut down" mode in which it cleans the tanks and insides and then beeps "done." Instead, my year-old Scooba will just keep mopping and mopping forever until it runs out of juice - even in a small room like my 6'x 8' bathroom. As my Scooba gets older it also seems to have a harder time with the modest irregularities in my floor. In short, I have to think way too much about this robot. Scooba is too much management and too much work. I'm going back to an old-fashioned mop. Simple. Fairly effective. No battery issues. Easy to clean. I've had it with babying Scooba. "Used it once and had to send it back", I charged the Scooba per manual instructions and put it use on 1 floor. When it finished the battery needed to be charged again and when I tried to charge it I got the message that it could not charge the battery. I called IRobot support and they said to send the unit back in and it would be replaced under the warranty. I sent it in almost 2 weeks ago, but haven't heard from them since. "Really Works!!!", Great product, used it as soon as I charged it up, I haven't mopped a floor since. Strongly recommended for linoleum or wood floors. Picks up crumbs and dirt very well. Very pleased. "Opening and Batteries", The battery life is inadequate and opening the unit is counter intuitive. My wife had lots of problems opening the unit because you push the handle down to lift it up. It's a really stupid design on the handle. It works once you understand it, but there's no instructions on how it works. 
Read this reviews before You buy... "Good performance, poor longevity", The Scooba worked well initially, but it has not stood up over time. An appliance this expensive should last for years, not months. In particular, the battery does not hold up and it is expensive to replace. I have had other reliability problems requiring calls to the manufacturer, or Google searches for maintenance fixes. In addition, cleaning the Scooba after use is not trivial. I have had a similar experience with the Roomba. Customer service is mediocre. "Died before completing first run", My iRobot came in two days ago and I was really excited about testing it out. I charged it over night as recommended and filled up the tank with the cleaning fluid. It spun around a few times and the light started blinking red. It gave me an out of battery message. I plugged it back in to recharge it some more and then i got a "charger failed" message. After playing around with it a few times, i kept on getting the out of battery/charge failed message. I am trying to contact customer service for a replacement. Needless to say, I was very disappointed that it couldn't even do one round of cleaning before dying. "Works Well but Loud & Takes Some Time", I got this for my wife because she had heard that this item worked well. We have ceramic tile on about half of the rooms on our bottom floor. I wanted to see my wife take a break from mopping every 3-5 days. Prep takes a bit of work, moving chairs and such. And the Scooba takes it's time washing and wiping. We normally will have to empty the unit once each time before it completes it's job. Clean up is pretty simple. Room controler does a good job of keeping the Scooba where you want it to work. The best feature for this item is the ability to do other things while it does it's job. Whether that's doing other chores or just watching TV, is up to you. "Avoid at all costs", I used to be a strong proponent of Roomba products, and I thought the Scooba would work well, too. However, the newer products, both Roomba and Scooba, have very unpredictable battery life. It's not clear whether you should leave the batteries on the charger or unplug them, and it seems like the instructions are the opposite for both the Roomba and Scooba. This confusion caused my batteries to no longer hold a charge after only 10 uses. Customer service, which used to be very user-friendly, refused to replace a battery for free. I've been on a waiting list for a new water tank for almost a year because of difficulty opening it. It's a shame. I always used to recommend Roomba products to all my family and friends, but I can no longer do so with a clear conscience. While I still use my original model Roomba vacuum, I find it much, much easier to wash the floors with a mop than with the Scooba. "Disposable Product", My 5800 worked about 15 times before a series of unrelated problems began. Check tank light, getting stuck in the middle of the floor, leaving a lot of water, etc. Finally, the Service light came on. I called iRobot and was told that once the Service light comes on, the unit is pretty much dead. They offered me 15% of a replacement battery, in case that was the problem, but the rep didn't sound very confident that the problem was indeed the battery. So while I was really excited about this product at first, my experience leads me to recommend anyone against buying it. Its cost per use came out to $20 per wash, at best. |
