I have a Roomba 530, and I love it (except for the fact that the side brushes break off quite easily, and it's been hell trying to get replacements!). I had lesser expectations for the Scooba, and it failed even them. The remanufactured Scooba simply didn't work, straight out of the box. I knew about the need to prime the pump, which I did, but I kept getting the blue light which means that you need to check the tank, etc. I checked the tank about 18 times, reprimed, etc. Finally, after fooling with the thing for about 45 minutes, it started to move around in a spiral. After about 2 minutes, I realized it wasn't laying down any solution, so AGAIN I primed the pump. At that point, the Scooba went back to the blue light, and I gave up (after another half hour). So, I sent it right back to Amazon, and they were great about the return. Amazon rocks!

I bought this on a lark to save myy wife and I a little time. What the heck... It works great. The cleaning solution is a bear to find locally, so I opted to use 40% solution of Simple Green and it works as well or better than the Clorox that comes with it.

I bought roomba last year and I love it!! I have laminate floors and it just made cleaning them effortless, literally, you hit power and which level you want and it goes. So when I heard about Scooba I desperately wanted one, but I read that they were not safe for laminate floors. After months of trying to find reviews saying anything about laminate floors, I finally found one. The truth is, scooba leaves a trail of water behind it as it goes, but it dries in less than five minutes, and it has made life so much easier. I highly recommend Scooba (and Roomba)!! I especially recommend them for pet owners whose pets hate when they do housework (like my yorkie who barks at any form of housework, especially mops and vacuums). They do a great job of cleaning up, and even amuse my puppy!Also don't be worried about the "remanufactured" irobots they're great, no problems and they save you money in the process. Happy Scooba-ing!!

Shipping was fast, but despite all the pictures showing a Scooba 5900, after opening the box it turned out to be a remanufactured 5800 (the darker blue, older model cleaning only 1/2 the area on 1 battery). Fortunately, the return process was easy and Amazon refunded the whole price (some sign of bad corporate conscience there?). With new 5900's starting at 239.-, 180.- for a remanufactured 5800 wasn't exactly great.

Hi I'm an owner of several roombas an work Ok. I thougth with Scooba will be the same, it didn't work as well. Battery function well for about three times after that never held charge. I bougth another battery and never was able to held charge. I bougth an externel charger and a third battery, nothing again. No really help from Irobot. Now I have an unusefull scooba three burn batteries and an external charger. Many dolars after I ask why they produce such a deficient product.Fortunatelly Roomba is the other extreme.If somebody can give me an advise please write it.Max

When I first got it, I was so excited. I thought I could finally be free from mopping the floor. It was great when it worked, but when I used it for the third time, it started having the problem. It kept telling me "Check the tank". I did everything as the manual said, and finally it worked when I poured its cleaning solution. I thought the solution was so important so I purchased a dozen. And then I used it for couple months, the battery died. I only used the Scooba once a week when it worked and it's not over a year yet since I purchased. I wanted to get another battery and after I saw all the reviews, I decide not to.It took more time for me to fix Scooba than to actually mop the floor.
