News, Reviews and Information on iRobot Scooba

New Videos!

I have to give major props to the folks at GoRobotics. They have two videos uploaded, which were filmed at the RoboNexus convention. A lot of good questions were asked and answered, so I suggest you take a look.

For those who aren’t on broadband, here are some quick notes taken from the videos:

  • sounds a little loud..or maybe it’s the quality of the video?
  • doesn’t completly dry the floors right now, will improve before it hits store shelves
  • doesn’t have the technology to remember where it has already cleans. Uses a random cleaning method
  • covers about 97% of the floor
  • can make virtual walls using infrared beam, to contain the scooba in a particular area
  • cleaning solution is not recycled, always using clean solution (unlike mopping)
  • tanks hold a litre of water
  • clean about 175 square feet per cleaning cycle
  • cleaning head is dishwasher safe
  • UI panel, will inform you about any problems with device, and cleaning status

  1. So does it use the same travel method as the regular vacs, or is this ‘dumber’?
