Do you have a water softner??? January 3, 2007
If you have a water softner, you may want to only use white vinegar in your scooba or use about 1/2 of the solution the manufacturer recommends. Upon opening my scooba, I followed the directions, turned it on & nothing happened. it didn't work. The "Clean" light and "Check Tank" light were both blinking green. The website & manual had nothing on this problem. After spending an hour on hold, I got through to customer service. They had me flush out the scooba & the line that puts down the solution & we fixed the problem...There was foam in the line that lays down water, & when this happens, the scooba simply won't run. Since I now know this, the scooba 5800 has worked like a charm & is absolutely FABULOUS!!! You can see your reflection in my floors! It the best gift I've ever received!!! It was well worth the call to customer service to get me problem straightened out! I highly recommend the product & recommend that if you buy one & have a problem- Call customer service! In about 5 minutes they can take you through a few steps that will get you on your way to having the cleanest floors you've ever seen!

Love my Scooba! December 30, 2006
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

Thank you Scooba! I've had my Scooba for about 6 months now (5900 version). It works great. I have tile floor, and nothing ever replaces hands-and-knees scrubbing of the grout, but overall this machine does better than regular mopping. It also cleans much better and leaves less water than my Hoover Floormate. My floors now get done a couple of times a week, which has made them look an awful lot better than they ever did before Scooba. It's great for cleaning up spills too.

The only down side is the amount of space that the Scooba will clean. I have to do my floors in two runs, but that's ok, it beats me mopping. Also, it doesn't get the edges or the corners well. I run Roomba first if the floor needs to be swept, then let Scooba rip. My husband loves it too. What a time saver! Roomba and Scooba have improved my life and my house has never been cleaner.

Doesn't Work. December 30, 2006

I just returned this to Amazon. My husband and I tried to get it to work right. It worked once. The second time, the light came on and it never worked after that. Definitely not worth $200.00. (what we paid after promotions).

I give it a C+ December 28, 2006

I think that this is a fantastic little device. I would keep it and use it expect it would only be good for one room in my house. The problem is that it really gets hung up on rugs and while it tries to get off the rugs it displaces an excessive amount of water around the rug leaving a real mess. Since my entire house is hardwoods with rugs (except the tiled bathrooms which I am skeptical it will work on at all) this does not work for me. However, I think that it did a very good job in the kitchen which has a lot of difficult angles to clean. I just took the chairs out the kitchen and let it go...

You don't have to buy the cleaning solution! December 18, 2006
I really like this... it does sometimes leave more water than I like, but I can live with that!

I like that you can charge it intact - without removing the battery. It does get "stuck" more often than the roomba, but maybe it's more sensitive purposely because of the water factor.

I've called customer service a couple of times - they are awesome!!

You don't "have" to use only the scooba solution - you can also check your manual for the vinegar/water ratio - it works just as well as the solution. The solution was hard to find!
