Tools and Hardware Reviews of iRobot 330 Scooba Floor-Washing Robot
Customer Review: It works !
Summary: 5 Stars
I decided to write this review after 3 months of extensive use of my Scooba with at least weekly run.
I have good experience with my Roomba 4210 and iRobot in general when I had problems with my Roomba.
My Scooba did not work right out of the box, it did not squirt any water at all. This is the no. 1 complaint from Scooba owners. Here's what I did following many tips from other reviewers:
1. Use syringe to squirt water into the blue "nipplet" - the little nipple insertion where the water drips from the tank to the base.
2. Pour half cup of water on the floor and let scooba run over it.
After doing those two tips, the scooba pump started to work and I watched this robot prep,wash,vacuum and dry my floor without blinking my eyes. Amazing. The Clorox Scooba solution is also good for linoleum and most tiles.
The only drawback for the Scooba 5900 is its limited coverage, inability to work on textured tiles and noise but in overall I'm very satisfied. Roombareview is also full of knowledgeable people to help you with your robots. Good job, iRobot !

The iRobot 330 Scooba Floor washing Robot does a fantastic job cleaning 4 rooms with 2 ounces of vinegar and a quart of warm water; vacuums, mops, scrubs, polishes and dries the floors to a shiny, streak free clean!
I received a Scooba vacuum last year for Mother's Day.
Which has now replaced my Hoover Floor Mate!
I have a shoulder injury and this machine has freed me from further aggravating, from all the lugging and pushing and pulling a heavy machine around.
We ordered this one for our friends and they are very happy too!
The best advice I can give you is to keep the unit clean after every use just as you maintain your reg. vacuum. To maintain battery do not leave it in the unit, just like your laptop it will decrease your battery life.
I like the clorox cleaning solution, but vinegar is my favorite for cleaning naturally.
I hope this helps you decide; I think it is the best gift and great fun to have.

I've had my Scooba for just four days, but have cleaned every non-carpeted floor of my house with it. It cleans very well in the areas it can reach, which are usually about 85% of a room if you move small pieces of furniture and other items out of the way. You still have to wash corners by hand, since Scooba can't reach, but that is easily done with a sponge. The water that came from Scooba's dirty tank was almost black, since I had not mopped for so long (there just isn't a good time to make the floor wet and slippery with 2 small children around). I'm very happy with it, and would highly recommend it. I feel as if it relieves me of the problem of having dirty floors with minimal effort and time on my part - so I can spend my time doing more pleasant things. It is important to clean the brush, hoses, and filter after every use, but this is a small task, and well worth it. My kids also enjoy having a "robot" around. My daughter has named her Lily, and my son shot her with his laser blaster the first time she cleaned our floor. Overall, a winner - I highly recommend it!Customer Review: Scooby-DOOO Cleans Up

The first Scooba I bought was refurbished and never worked. Naturally I was skeptical but with 5 dogs & 1 cat my tile floors have me desperate for a clean & nice smelling home. So I purchased a new one to give Scooba another chance... my Scooby-DO (his name now) hasn't quit cleaning since. I've had him over 3 months now and don't see him stopping (heaven help me if he ever does). My house smells GREAT after Scooby gets done cleaning my floors. You don't HAVE to use the Scooba formula they recommend, I use All Purpose Cleaner, Fabulosa & other nice smelling floor cleaners with no problems. Just don't use cleaners that create suds. I got the Dirt Dog to get the big stuff. With these 2 cleaners going around my house looks & smells like all I do is clean, just the effect I was going for. They are LOUD but they save me time & the backbreaking tasks of vacuuming & mopping. No more dirty mops pushing dirty water all around, Scooby picks up the dirty water & just leaves the clean nice smelling stuff. I give both of these items the utmost care & attention. Scooby-Do... I luv U!Customer Review: If you are busy, you NEED this robot!!

I am seriously in love with "him." While he doesn't do a real big area, and I could have used one that does, for the extra money I just run it a couple times. I have a HUGE dining/kitchen area and I don't even worry about blocking off (I did block it off the first time as I wanted to make sure that it got every inch.) Now I just let it roam around on its own. I've been running it once or twice a day. Usually after lunch and supper. (I have a 9yo, 3yo, 1yo, and babysit a 1yo as well, so my floors get bad after meals!)
I did not have ANY issues setting this thing up. I charged it and filled it and ran it. That easy. Didn't have to prime it or anything! I turn it on at nap time and get my school studying done! And then at bath/bedtime for the kids and come downstairs to clean floors. It has even restored some of the shine that has been gone from chairs and highchairs and toys being drug across the floors.
I will come back in months to go with a long term review on this but as for a new product I HIGHLY recommend it!
