Rating  - Check your floors first....
This is a great concept, but did not work for my floors. Product is not safe for laminate wood flooring, which is what I turned out to have. Also, my tile floors are white with deep white grout lines, and the dirty water tended to pool in the grout lines. However, I could see this being a great product for other types of hardwood and tile/linoleum floors - just not a great fit in my case.
Rating  - Scooba floor washing robot
We have a large house with heated hard wood floors.
and lots of people walk around barefoot
Consequently minimal dirt and dust stands out requiring
lots of sweeping and washing. Especially in winter with
snow, dirt and ice easily tracked into the house.
The Scooba (and Roomba) have greatly reduced the work
needed to keep these floors in top shape.
Excellent product.
Rating  - iRobot needs to redesign this product for less than glass-smooth floors
Being the VERY happy owners of a Roomba 415 we excitedly bought a Scooba in order to eliminate this other most odious chore.
The promise was wonderful... better mopping than us mopping WITHOUT us mopping.
Unfortunatelly reality set in. While this device MAY work as advertised on wood floors, or perfectly smooth tile floors, it is a DISASTER on our Saltillo (mexican tile) floor. Roomba has no problems climbing up and down our kids' playmat which is about 1/2 inch thick ... scooba not only can't handle that... it can't even handle the natural unevenness of our floor. It keeps getting stuck and we have to restart it.
My guess is that iRobot designed Scooba this way in order to prevent it from climbing up on (and wetting) area rugs. If that's the case then iRobot should redesign the device so that the owner can push a button that reads "Climb everywhere" that allows scooba to operate on the same *terrain* as Roomba for people with uneven floors and no area rugs.
Most amazing, Scooba wasn't even able to operate on our kids' playmat... this is a rubber floor with very very minor bumps... no go. Scooba would slip and slide and get stuck there too.
I guess we'll wait for the next iteration.
WE DEFINITELLY RECOMMEND THE ROOMBA THOUGH!
Rating - IT IS THE 21ST CENTURY AND AS FORETOLD MY FLOORS ARE NOW MAINTAINED BY ROBOTS
One of those increasingly rare instances in which a product actually does what is claimed. After years of being surrounded by retail execs who chanted "Under promise! Over deliver!" (Why exactly would you "under promise"? Only to guarantee an underwhelming "over deliver"!) it's a treat to simply have claims met. The Scooba does a remarkably thorough job on our floors (polished concrete). It's easy to use, holds a charge long enough to do large spaces, generally inobtrusive -- our dogs really don't seem all that interested -- and needless to say, it needs no supervision. One star off for the somewhat noisy performance...
