Tools and Hardware Reviews of iRobot Scooba 350 Floor-Washing Robot
Customer Review: Mops & Drys unattended,but needs more attention than vacuum robot
Summary: 3 Stars
Love the idea!
One thing that I wish I knew was that although this robot is rated to clean the square-footage of our floor, it must do it in 2steps (it'll stop and you must change the tank). The next size up would do our whole floor in 1 go. Since this is a second home, it is difficult to baby-sit it than if it was at our main home. Also, you need to clean it out right when it finishes cleaning, again not ideal for running as we walk out the door because it can't set until the next visit. For these reasons, the vacuum would have been a better match. (Plus we could also use it at the main house).
Problem with OUR robot, is that the suction drying does not work. So the floor is left wet to air dry. Not critical, as it leaves the floor clean, and I usually run it when I'm stepping out for a bit. Still, a bit annoying because I paid a pretty penny for something that is supposed to vacuum, scrub, wash, and dry all in the same pass!
Since the hardwood floors are not at our main house, I'd be open to swap this mopping robot for a similar-rated vacuum (with auto dock and auto scheduling).. good option for someone who hates mopping as much as I do!
I simply would get more usage from a vacuum (dog hair!).
Also, I msut say our dog is frightened of everything from Vacuums to Water, but does not mind this floor robot ! Great job on the design!
I really wish they named this Scoomba for consistency with roomba. Also I hate the confusion with utterly unrelated "scuba". Anyway, it is Very common for people to refer to is as scoomba.. it's natural. Easier fo rbrand recognition, too. Well, we can't all be in charge! Anyway product is cool.
Customer Review: Nice idea works great but after a few months things fall apart.
Summary: 1 Stars
My husband bought the scooba for me for christmas and it was awesome. It swept the floor and mopped it. It worked great. Then only about 4-5 months after having it things literally started falling apart. The valve crumbled apart when i tried to clean it. Then the handle stopped working to open it so we had to use a knife to open it then finally the handle fell off. Now we are left with a pile of parts. I tried emailing the company and the website is a joke.They put you through hoops just to tell you that you can't email them without an account even when you do have an account it says you don't have one. So i called the company and they were not helpful and told me there was nothing i could do except by a whole new body and tank without the battery for $180. I think its a great idea but a complete rip off. By the way my husband spent well over $200 on this just to use it for 5 months then toss it.Customer Review: No more mopping !
Summary: 4 Stars
Tank is too small for my home, but otherwise its a great product and I simply love it and my Roomba too !
Great buy !
Customer Review: Not Perfect, but close enough
Summary: 4 Stars
Works quite well. It will still miss a spot here and there, but the fact that you don't have to mop 95% of the floor by hand makes up for this short fall. I use it about twice a week just to keep up on the floors and it works great.Customer Review: Not compatible with my floors
Summary: 3 Stars
I think this product is great - it just wasn't compatible with my floors. Unless you're a flooring expert, it would be difficult to determine compatibility from product description.
