If your home has a lot of hardwood floors, tile or linoleum, you might like to consider getting an iRobot Scooba. These things are SO much fun. I don’t have one but my mother-in-law does. She has both the Roomba and the Scooba. But I am truly impressed with the Scooba. This little guy sure does its job well.  

The iRobot Scooba Hard Floot Cleaning Robot uses cutting-edge iRobot AWARE intelligence to calculate the optimal cleaning path and cleaning behaviors best suited for the job. Just fill the water tank with cleaning solution and water, switch it on and watch it work. The idea is for Scooba to prep, wash, scrub and dry your hardwood, tile or linoleum floors while you just sit and relax or get on with your other chores. But I’m so fascinated by this little gadget that I’ve spent quite a bit of time just staring at it. My 2.5 year old loves watching it in action and has even nicknamed it “Scooby”.  

The iRobot Scooba comes with a rechargeable battery that is easy to charge and can clean up to 500 sq feet per cleaning cycle. It comes with cliff-sensing technology to help the Scooba avoid stairs, ledges, etc. You can also use a virtual wall to create an infrared beam to mark off-limit areas.  If you hate sweeping and mopping, then this little guy is for you. It’s true, it may not clean as fast or as thoroughly compared to you manually sweeping and mopping your floors, overall, I still think it does a pretty good job and a real time-saver. I’d give it a 4 out of 5 star rating.
