Ike’s Review

Monday, December 31st, 2007

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 […]

Scooba Customer Service Experience

Tuesday, November 20th, 2007

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 […]

We added the Scooba and the Roomba to our wedding registry, and received the Scooba as an early Christmas gift. I could just say the Scooba works great, but that wouldn’t be really helpful.
Initially straight out the box, the Scooba would not lay down any water. I went through some simple troubleshooting steps (without calling […]

Jenstet Writes…

I just bought my first Scooba 1 1/2 months ago. I think it was not working quite right out of the box. Sometimes it would not lay any water down. I called customer service and they suggested putting the Scooba on its side an “firmly” hitting it on the floor. I did and it still […]

Thanks to Lynn for writing in - She writes:
I have been using my Scooba for a couple weeks now, and I love it. I
have two kids, a cat, a dog, and a muddy backyard. I just couldn’t
keep up and was living with pretty gross floors. I did need to run it
twice the […]

I got a new Scooba and it doesn’t work. On the first use, the “Check Tank” light repeatedly came on 3-4 seconds after pressing “Clean.” After I followed all of the instructions in the manual, I found a few more suggestions on the web site. Incredibly, they suggested using “a turkey baster […]

I sadly returned my Scooba today to The Sharper Image. (By the way, they were really nice and no-questions-asked about the return).
I love robots and I love Scooba theoretically, but my expectations were too high. For $325 with tax, I really wanted it to clean well.
And it was only so-so. It got our dining room […]

Does it lessen our Workload?

Wednesday, March 1st, 2006

Hi Folks.
Got another review for you, this time from KDKA, a CBS affiliate in Pittsburgh. Here is a link to the review.
Some snippets:
…there is no question the Scooba gets up dirt, but smears the dirt in tougher jobs. You can see it does a decent job. Getting it to finish the job is the […]
