Scooba from iRobot, RATING: TEST IN PROGRESS

I got a Scooba from iRobot for Christmas this year! We have named him Scoobie.

SUMMARY

First Use: 12/27/2006 in the kitchen. Love it. I have been using Scooba in the kitchen on tile floor, as well as in the bathrooms (also tile). I ran out of cleaning solution so now I am looking into the best place to get more Scooba leaning solution.

Still out of Scooba cleaning solution...I lag, I know. April 9th, 2007. But... I just bought 6 bottles of Clorox 5959 Scooba Cleaning Solution for my Scooba (See right hand column for cost differences!) So as soon as my Scooba cleaning solution gets here, I will be back in business!

Boy did that take forever to get my Scooba cleaning solution! It came on May 9th! I almost forgot I had ordered it!

REVIEW

Scooba is, in my opinion, the most useful and wonderful of my 3 little robots. Not that the others aren't doing their job, but floor washing is something that I always seem to put off. Having Scoobie Scooba changes this (until I run out of cleaning solution) because I can turn the Scooba on, and then do something else until he's done and the floor is dry. The floor gets much cleaner than it does with the Swiffer too.
