iRobot 5900 Scooba Robotic Wet/Dry Vacuum

Pros: Mops your floors using clean water instead of a dirty mop bucket! Cool idea.
Cons: a little expensive - fine if it worked, but it didn't work for very long.......

The Scooba from iRobot 9/24/2007 Update: The Scooba 5900s are not being made anymore. Mine stopped working altogether after many months of having a low battery function. I would charge it and the charge only lasted for a few minutes. ...

Pros: Time saver, does an amazing cleaning job
Cons: somewhat noisy, pricey

I finally decided to try the famous Scooba that everyone was talking about. I was afraid at first, especially when I found out it cost $300-$400. I bought mine for $300 at Sam's Club. Boy am I glad I did. This is the best investment I've ever made. It ...

Pros: Fast, self-cleaning, four step process
Cons: None

The fun that comes with remodeling an entire home is the fun of cleaning up!! Top to bottom, corner to corner, I am knee deep in the midst of a mini-hurricane! Luckily for me, I have the iRobot 5900 Scooba Robotic Wet/Dry Vacuum! We are tearing ...

Pros: Effectively, effortless cleans floors.
Cons: Loud.

If you were fascinated to watch your Roomba prowl your floors, just wait until you see Scooba in action! After ten uses, I am still mesmerized by this robot! I bought the Scooba to save time on my floor scrubbing, but I am not sure how much time I am ...

Pros: It cleans hard surface floors for you.
Cons: Price is intimidating until you use it.

If you are contemplating investing in a Scooba Floor Washing Robot, my opinion is "do." If you are like I was, the biggest drawback is the fear of risking so much money on something that may not pan out, so to speak. Unlike other products, which get ...

Pros: Cleverly engineered floor cleaning device
Cons: Unfortunately, I had too many problems with it to keep using it

Since I'm a gadget geek, and I hate cleaning floors, I bought the Scooba last year in the hopes this would help in both of these things. Scooba, by the makers of the vacuuming robot Roomba (but, despite what Saturday Night Live said, not a ...

Pros: Effortless floor maintenance
Cons: The noise- a Cacophonous aural assault every time it goes to work.

Yes, it can get stuck occasionally and the price seems just a bit high- at first. This is a superbly engineered product, it has some of the highest build quality I have ever seen in any device and is a thoroughly thought out piece. I wasn't sure ...

Pros: Not Fast but Thorough; Given Time, It Cleans Well; Battery Life; Vinegar is Dirt Cheap
Cons: Noisier than Roomba, Some Operational Idiosyncrasies,

Battery Update 7/10/2009 - If you want to maximize your battery life, consider removing the battery(s) from your robot(s) in between uses and after recharging them. I realize this is a bit more trouble, particularly with the 4150, but the Irobot chargers ...

Pros: looks cool; is fun to watch
Cons: unreliable; needs lots of maintenance; doesn't work as promised

I bought Scooba 5900 a year ago. This device can mop only one room at a time, and, unlike Roomba, it requires maintenance both before and after each cycle. Before the cleaning, you need to detach the tank, pour the solution and water, and attach it ...

Pros: Turns a detested chore into easy work; clean floors
Cons: Takes a little getting used to for best effect.

I purchased my scooba about five months ago after an end-of-semester crush (working full time and going to grad school) in which my tile floors didn't get mopped for about six weeks. They were disgusting, and I was exhausted and completely not interested ...

Pros: Does a pretty decent job of general cleaning in wide open spaces.
Cons: Not great in tight spaces. Gets caught easily. Must use their own detergent.

I've been seeing the various iRobot devices for sale, and always wondered how well they worked. My suspicion was always that my apartment was too crowded for the vacuums to work properly, and they were a bit expensive for my wallet. When I saw the ...

Pros: Floors have never been cleaner. Set up is straight forward. Price is coming down.
Cons: Quirky. Gets stuck in some areas. Can't leave it totally unattended.

Bought the Scooba at Linens and Things for $250 and couldn't be happier with the purchase. Scooba works exactly as advertised, albeit with a few quirks that take a bit of figuring out. Our floors have never been cleaner and our two dogs and two cats ...

Pros: Thorough, effective cleaning. My floors GLEAM and SHINE!
Cons: A bit noisy, shouldn't be run unsupervised. Not a "set it and forget it" item.

I have a 3-year old and a 6-month old, hence, perpetually DIRTY floors, even though I have a "take off your shoes" policy when entering the house. Doesn't matter, kids leave shrapnel everywhere from things they eat. I had a Hoover Floormate that gave ...

Pros: Well designed, effective, innovative and useful
Cons: not quiet, does not "scrub"

For months I debated about investing in this technological marvel. Each time, I would finally conclude that it was too expensive and unjustifiable. After all, I can clean my own floors… down on hand and knees. No problem. However, I am a ...

Pros: Covers the floor well. Cleans very well. No brainer, so you'll use it more often.
Cons: Price. Somewhat loud. Can only use Clorox cleaning solution.

May seem like a lot to pay, but if you hate cleaning floors and your floor is fairly open, you'll love the Scooba. I've tried the others, Hoover, Bissell, etc. they all went back to the store. The Scooba is staying. The Scooba comes very well ...
