 Scooba 5900 & 380 are terrible September 18, 2008
2 out of 4 found this review helpful
I bought a Scooba 5900 in the fall of 2006. Within about 90 days, it malfunctioned & had to be replaced under the warranty. I boxed it up & paid to send it back to irobot. I received an in-warranty exchange of another Scooba 5900. It also stopped working within the warranty period. This time irobot sent me the Scooba 380 (May, 2007) In May 2008, I started having problems again with it not working. I called customer service & was told by the technician to replace the charger (due to the 4 beeps emitted from the unit). It took 2 months & 16 days to receive the trio pak ($119+). The scooba worked for about 15 minutes & then died. No lights, no sounds - nothing. Customer service solution is that I can pay $178 for a Scooba 5800 or $384+ for a Scooba 6060. THIS PRODUCT IS UNRELIABLE & A RIPOFF. BUYER BEWARE!!
 Scooba = miracle worker September 14, 2008

I wish I'd gotten my Scooba 350 sooner. Living with a 35kg/77lb Old English Sheepdog puppy who hasn't learned to lift his leg up when peeing, I'd developed thick callouses on my palms from mopping. So the Scooba is heaven sent! My floors are now cleaner than they've ever been.
My unit had an initial snag after the first overnight charge - it stopped after less than 10 minutes despite the indication of being fully charged when it started. That was thankfully, a one-off incident - I haven't stopped using it since. Although it charges fairly quickly, I wish it could do more rooms on one charge. Otherwise, it's fabulous in keeping the house clean and letting me spend more time with my puppy. I can't stop telling all my friends and family about Scooba!
 Does the job, but leaves some touch-up work September 3, 2008

well, it works, that's the good news. The tank full of dirty water is proof that it's doing the job. The bad news is that it doesn't do corners, and if you have a lot of dust (say, pet hair) you're probably best off doing some vaccuming first because it doesn't deal well with light things like hair that blow around instead of being trapped under the robot.
In short:
Pros:
1. It gets the floor clean
2. It works well w/vineagar, which is good news for those who prefer natural cleaning things intead of chemicals
3. it's pretty easy to clean up - just empty the tank, pop the brush and the filter and run them under the tap.
4. It leaves the floor reasonably dry.
Cons:
1. You'll go absolutely batty if you hang around and try to watch it work. It almost invariably does what i consider the wrong thing (like going the wrong way or going straight when it should be spiralling). save yourself the hassle - walk away and come back to a clean floor. It eventually does the job, and who cares if it takes more time? it's the robot's time, not yours.
2. it doesn't do corners. problem.
3. Occasionally the cycle has stopped in the middle (i think i had a dirty tank).
4. it's loud. really, really loud.
5. would be nice if it could handle more than 12' by 12' on 1 tank.
Overall, good product, if a little pricey (i bought it refurbished and have had no problems...)
 SCOOBA NEEDS TO GET SMARTER August 29, 2008
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
During the time I am writing this, my Scooba has ended up stuck on my floor heating grate FOUR TIMES!! Does this thing ever learn? It can - obviously - not be left alone, just like a child. Scooba has also managed to get itself stuck under my kitchen kabinets over and over. As far as I know, our kitchen kabinets are standard height from the floor. Why does Scooba then get stuck under them over and over? If I have to supervise it the whole time, I cannot say that it frees up time for me. Scooba does not get a passing grade from me, I am sorry to say. I am the happy owner of a Roomba, which I absolutely adore!
IT'S GREAT IF YOUR HOUSE IS ALREADY CLEAN August 16, 2008

IF YOU HAVE NO CHILDREN OR DOGS THIS PRODUCT WOULD BE GREAT FOR YOU.
HOWEVER IF YOU'RE BUYING IT TO ACCTUALLY CLEAN DIRTY FLOORS I WOULDN'T.
AFTER USEING IT ONE TIME I KNOW I AM GOING TO RETURN IT.
