Scooba Blog

I had my Scooba less than a year when it stopped working. I asked for a refund but irobot chose to replace the machine instead. In the meantime, I was without a robot for 2 months. Now the replacement has stopped working after 5 months. All of my friends have replaced their unreliable Scoobas with […]

I have had to return a few Scooba’s, but am up and running again. I really like the fact that it saves me time and does a decent job, however, shared the feelings of those not thrilled about having to buy a $10 bottle of cleaning solution. Talk about price gouging.There is NO REASON they […]

I have had my scooba for over 4 years and have been making my own cleaning solutions without any problems. I even used Murphys Oil Soap with another brand name cleaner and after properly diluting
the solution, I obtained excellent results on my hardwood floors. I am now using the scooba on my kitchen floor which […]

I got a Scooba for Christmas a year and a half ago. At first it worked great. But after about a month the check tank light started coming on all the time no matter how much solution and water there was inside. I was able to lift up the back wheels and get it to […]

My Scooba worked fine for about a year then the yellow check tank light came on. I spoke with I Robot’s tech. and tried a number of things he recomended. It didn’t fix the problem,so he suggested I buy a new robot. I’m very disappointed in IRobot. I’m very handy with mechnical and electronics […]

I bought my first scooba in December of 2007 I am now on my third replacement. They have all failed. irobot acts as if this is really unusual and other people do not have these problems. But reading blogs online it seems pretty commonplace.
When I bought my scooba it came with a little red roomba. […]

We recently purchased the Scooba and are now happy with the robot. Initially the Scooba wouldn’t work… it would just say “I’m stuck”. We then read through some irobot blogs & one recommended almost dropping it from 2 or 3 inches off the ground. And since we were frustrating, we tried it. And it worked! […]

I purchased a re-manufactured Scooba from Woot.com for $100 as a Christmas present for my wife. I can honestly say that it was the best $100 I’ve every spent.
We have run it about 3 times a day since we opened the box and my floors have never looked better. You would not believe the grimy […]

I bought a refurb Scooba from Amazon back in March that included a 90-day warranty. The machine worked pretty good overall, but died around October. First the charges were short lived, then it wouldn’t take a charge at all. I assumed the battery died and I purchased a new one from iRobot.com When the new […]
