Scooba's Four-Stage Cleaning System

Scooba features a proprietary four-stage cleaning system that will simultaneously prep, wash, scrub, and dry your floor in a single pass.

Prep: With Scooba, there's no need to sweep the floor before washing. Scooba preps your floor by picking up loose dirt and light debris, including hair, dust, and many cereals.

Wash: Scooba then washes your floor by laying down a mixture of specially formulated Clorox Scooba cleaning solution and water. Clorox Scooba cleaning solution is safe on all sealed hard floor surfaces. And it's nontoxic, so it's safe to use around kids and pets.

Scrub: Next, Scooba's specially designed brushes gently scrub floors, cleaning spills and removing grime. Scooba's brush spins at 1,500 revolutions per minute, scrubbing your floor more effectively than traditional mops or any other hard-floor cleaning system.

Dry: Finally, Scooba actually dries your floor by picking up the dirty water left on the floor and depositing it into a second tank. The residue is held in the "Dirty" tank until it is emptied. So, instead of just redistributing the dirty water around your floor like standard mops do, Scooba leaves your floor cleaner, drier, and ready to walk on.

Scooba Covers the Entire Floor

Scooba thoroughly cleans floors, covering every section of the floor an average of four times. During a cleaning cycle, Scooba monitors its environment 67 times per second and adjusts its cleaning behavior for maximum coverage. Scooba uses three behaviors in every cleaning cycle, ensuring thorough cleaning of the entire area.

Wall Following: Scooba uses this technique to clean the entire perimeter of the room and for navigating around furniture and other obstacles.

Room Crossing: Scooba crisscrosses the room as it looks for new areas to clean, ensuring total coverage of the room.

Spiraling: In this mode, Scooba creates a large spiral pattern to effectively cover large open areas.

For best coverage and faster cleaning, iRobot recommends removing chairs and other furniture from the room you want to clean. Scooba cleans an average kitchen in about 45 minutes, covering each area of the room multiple times to thoroughly clean your floor.

Over the course of a cleaning cycle, Scooba will automatically react to obstacles and maneuver its way through a variety of situations. Scooba features integrated cliff sensors that tell the robot to turn away from stairs and other drops. Scooba's non-marring bumper is gentle to furniture and other obstacles. Scooba also has infrared wall sensors that allow the robot to clean around the perimeter of the room and around obstacles. Scooba also features special escape behaviors that allow it to quickly get out from under chairs and other furniture.

Scooba also comes with a Virtual Wall to contain Scooba in the area you want to clean. Simply place the Virtual Wall in a doorway and turn it on. The Virtual Wall will stay activated for the duration of Scooba's cleaning cycle. Scooba automatically turns away when it detects the Virtual Wall's invisible infrared beam so you can keep Scooba in one room or away from obstacles.

Easy to Use

Scooba is easy to use. Simply fill the "Clean" tank with Clorox Scooba cleaning solution and water. Place Scooba on the floor, press "Power" and then the "Clean" button. Scooba will clean the entire room in approximately 45 minutes. When Scooba is finished cleaning, empty the "Dirty" tank into the sink or toilet, rinse and replace the tank, and connect Scooba to the power supply to recharge its battery.

Scooba is powered by a rechargeable nickel-metal hydride battery. Scooba's battery fully charges in about 3 hours and will last for almost two complete cleaning cycles. For best performance, iRobot recommends recharging the battery after every cleaning cycle. Scooba's battery is environmentally safe and will provide hundreds of cleaning cycles.

Clorox Scooba Cleaning Solution

iRobot has teamed with Clorox to develop a cleaning solution that is specially formulated to ensure best performance. Clorox Scooba cleaning solution is designed to be safe and effective on all sealed hard floors. The cleaning solution is safe around children and pets.

iRobot recommends using only Clorox Scooba cleaning solution in Scooba. Only Clorox Scooba cleaning solution is specially formulated to enable high traction, so Scooba can move freely on most floors. The cleaning solution is also designed to produce less foam, preventing foam from building inside the robot or on your floor. Clorox Scooba cleaning solution is also non-corrosive to Scooba and its electronics.

    1 out of 5 stars Loved it at first, now terribly disappointed   July 22, 2008
    I purchased my refurbished Roomba and Scooba one year ago. After nine months the Roomba failed and could not be repaired. I was offered what I thought was a great deal from iRobot. They replaced the Roomba for $170 with a new version of the same model (minus the battery and charging unit). I figured I paid what I would have paid if I bought a new one right at the start. Three months later the Scooba failed. I was told it could not be repaired but they had a wonderful deal for me. They could replace it with a new version of the same model for $170. This might be a great deal but from what I'm reading here, many Scoobas stop working in about a year. Am I really going to pay $170 every year just so I don't have to do my own mopping? I'm very disappointed. I loved the Scooba. I loved having wonderfully clean floors without having to do all the work. But perhaps I would be better off getting a little exercise and mopping my floors nearly for free.


    1 out of 5 stars BEWARE!! No support or repairs after warranty expires   July 17, 2008
    Nice when working, but BEWARE! After our 380 failed out of warranty, our only option was to buy a new unit for $375 + shipping. That's only a 5%-20% discount off of their regular to sale price. Horrible! They do NOT repair their products or provide refurbished machines for reasonable prices. They do NOT sell spare parts. They do not sell extended warranties. Apparently, their customer service hears these complaints a lot and management will not change their policies. They do NOT care about their customers. They only want to screw customers into buying a new unit.

    Imagine buying a new car and when the car breaks down shortly after the warranty is over, you need to buy a new car. No parts and no repairs!!! HORRIBLE!!!

    These units break down a lot!!! This is our forth unit. Luckily, the previous three units failed under warranty!

    Stay away!



    1 out of 5 stars Fun while it works, but absolutely abysmal customer service when it doesn't   June 26, 2008
     1 out of 1 found this review helpful

    The Scooba was fun while it worked as a novelty. In all honesty, it barely saved any time over doing it myself, but it was fun watching it go. However, after using it once a month for 6 months (a total of 6 times), the battery completely died. The instructions state that I'm to keep the battery in my Scooba at all times when it's not being used to keep it in tip top shape, but then on online forums, people are telling me that by following that instruction, I burnt out the Scooba's battery permanently, and in fact once it's fully charged I need to take it out immediately to keep it from burning out.

    Customer service said too bad, since you bought it remanufactured you only get a 90 day warranty, doesn't matter that our own instructions directly caused your Scooba's battery to die, why don't you visit our online store and buy another battery? Like heck I am going to give them more of my money as a reward for selling me a shoddy product. I would say avoid the refurbs like the plague, but a visit to online forums seems to suggest that Scoobas just are incredibly unreliable machines, and you shouldn't expect them to last more than a year or two. So maybe it should really be avoid Scoobas like the plague. I got a total of 6 moppings out of this thing, costing me 30 dollars a time, with the time I spent cleaning the thing roughly equal to the time I would have spent mopping.



    5 out of 5 stars There is nothing like a clean floor   May 20, 2008
     1 out of 2 found this review helpful

    I have the type of flooring that as soon as a smudge appears on the floor, it looks dirty. Due to the fact that I hate doing floors, particulary, mopping my floors; so they went uncleaned to the point of filthy. I needed a quick fix. I thought, eBay will fit the bill but the bidding was far too rigorous and the prices were getting way out of my range. As I always do after a lack of success with eBay, I turned to Amazon and sure enough the refurbished price was far lower than eBay.
    I absolutely love the Scooba. I went to Linens N Things and bought 3 bottles of the cleaning solution, and now 6 months later, I haven't used the first bottle. The house smells so fresh and the floors are dazzling. I have found the iRobot customer service to be top notch. I highly recommend the Scooba. Now to get a robotic lawn mower.



    1 out of 5 stars No more refurbs!   May 8, 2008

    I don't normally purchase Remanufactured anything, but was hesitant about this product and thought it would be ok to test this robot as I was interested in purching others if this worked well. The Robot did work well the first few times and then after that, it just spread the water all over the kitchen without picking it up... I cleaned the bot well to no avail. Then, I let the bot put the water down and had to mop the floor afterward. This worked ok for a few months, but after 7 months, it decided it wound't move at all. Without the tank inserted, the unit kept telling me to check the tank! Check the tank? It was not even attached! IRobot send a software update early on so I again tried updating the unit. Nothing seems to work.
    This was an unfortunate waste of money and I would not recommend this to anyone.
