 Scooba June 6, 2009
K. Nayudu (NJ)
I am reviewing irobot scooba
I am using this for a quite a while now more than 6 months, when I started liking it even though it had many drawbacks, it's not working now. Whenever I plug it in to charge it is not charging anymore but a service light is on with a sound indicating that it needs service, and to check tank, I fiddled with it I checked tank and cleaned up everything and cleaned the brush, air filter, but for no use, unfortunately I am out of warranty so I cannot send it for repair or exchange it now.
Pros: clever cleaner, it really cleans the stuff, room smells good, you definitely cannot clean the place 2-3 times the way it does, easy to use.
Make sure you sweep the floor before you switch scooba on.
Cons:
1) Noise - it gets very annoying at times, you cannot watch TV or talk on phone, and you have to shout while talking to people in the same room.
2) charging time - this is the worst part, you cannot use the equipment immediately, reason- it takes whooping 16 hrs to charge every time, you can use it immediately when u leave it charging for ever, in which case you actually are keeping your battery at risk.
3) Battery life- while at use it will run for 35- 40 min which I did not think is good enough time for it to clean even though the place I live is equal to the size of two studio size apartments. In this era where very small batteries run for 6-7 hours, this huge battery does not live up to expectations. The battery which comes with the original equipment can only survive 6-8 months and then you need to buy new battery for at least 45 bucks (I am not sure if that is covered under warranty). If the battery is covered under warranty you better take the warranty and don't rely on battery life.
4) Doesn't clean the corners as can be expected from its round shape.
5) Expensive equipment - I felt it expensive home equipment for the flaws it has and the work it does.
6) Expensive liquid (why do you want to spend 10 dollars for a 946ml cleaning liquid.
7) No options or display - like you don't know how long it will run for if u wants to clean it up and leave.
8) Does not clean very hard stains on floor.
9) Very messy to clean the brush of scooba after it finishes cleaning if the hair gets in and stuck.
10) Not really a powerful machine.
This is a good machine for a start. It needs to go loooong way before it reaches perfection.
 Great Product, Great Seller June 4, 2009

I bought this remanufactured product after reading all of the positive reviews. To say it changed our lives might be a little dramatic, but ok, it is close. We have 2600 square feet of tile, vinyl and wood floors, 3 dogs and a cat. We set our little Scooba friend lose,and voila! clean floors. We had an issue after 3 days of use-couldn't get our friend to work. We called the seller, who offered to immediately send a new unit if iRobot could not help us fix it. We called iRobot customer service who patiently talked us through troubleshooting and it is working fine again. We use vinegar/water (a) because we have mostly sealed hardwood and (b) no one in our area sells the Clorox solution. We have, however, ordered more of the solution to use on the tile. One reviewer didn't like the vinegar/water option, saying it made the house smell like a salad. We find that within a few minutes the vinegar smell disappears and it just smells clean, much better than using a chemical solution, plus cheaper and more environmentally sound.
 Broken after 7 months - warranty is 3 months ! May 29, 2009
Eduardo Saito
It came originally with a defective battery... after replaced battery, the Scooba worked well for 7 months, when it broke. When I got in touch with customer support they explained warranty is 3 months, and suggested me to purchase a new one. UPDATE: customer support has resolved the problem offering a replacement unit. Let's wait and test it again.
Not for Tile Floors March 22, 2009
L. Smith (Orange County CA)
After finding the roomba vacuum to be an excellent adjunct vacuum (doesn't get dirt down in carpet fibers; you still have to use a regular vacuum occasionally), I bought the Scooba for the half of my house with 12" tile floors. The machine can put down a lot of water but looses suction every time it crosses the grouted part of the floor. I constantly readjusted it and hung around while it was trying to clean, then would mop the floor to remove the water. Needless to say, the Scooba is worthless on a tile floor.
How can they produce this ? January 24, 2009

Hi I'm an owner of several roombas an work Ok. I thougth with Scooba will be the same, it didn't work as well. Battery function well for about three times after that never held charge. I bougth another battery and never was able to held charge. I bougth an externel charger and a third battery, nothing again. No really help from Irobot. Now I have an unusefull scooba three burn batteries and an external charger. Many dolars after I ask why they produce such a deficient product.
Fortunatelly Roomba is the other extreme.
If somebody can give me an advise please write it.
Max
