iRobot Scooba Review & Giveaway (ended)

I’m going to take a stab at it and assume most of you don’t ENJOY cleaning your floors, right?
I have a lot of ceramic tile in my house and with 4 people and 2-3 dogs, my floors get dirty every day. I do a good job keeping it vacuumed, but mopping…..yeah, that’s not my favorite. Since I don’t have small kids crawling I don’t mop as often as I used to. Mopping is NOT fun!
I was super excited with the people at iRobot asked me if I’d like to give the new Scooba 390 a spin!……..ummmm a Robot that will clean my floors for me?! you don’t even have to ask! Send her over!
What IS the iRobot Scooba?
iRobot Scooba is a floor cleaning robot that uses iAdapt™ Responsive Cleaning Technology to ensure that the Scooba washes every part of your floor multiple times. It gets into areas you can’t easily reach, including under and around furniture, washing until the job is complete. iRobot Scooba uses a four stage cleaning system to simultaneously prep, wash, scrub and squeegee floors with the touch of a button. Unlike using a bucket of cleaning water and a mop, Scooba always washes with clean water, there’s no deposit of dirt while cleaning.
iRobt Scooba 390 features
- New Extended Life Power Management delivers longer battery life than previous models. One battery charge will cover 850 square feet and run for about 45 minutes. Ideal for homes with larger areas.
- Cleans sealed hardwood, tile and linoleum floors.
- No Pre-Sweeping required.
- Four-stage cleaning removes up to 98% of common household bacteria* and uses only fresh solution from start to finish.
- Autonomous cleaning pattern covers each area of floor an average of 5 times
- Scooba 390 cleans with tap water, water and vinegar or Scooba Hard Floor Cleaner.
- Sensors allow the Scooba 390 to avoid stairs and ledges
- Cleans beneath cabinet edges, tables, chairs and other hard-to-reach places.
- Cliff sensor technology keeps Scooba from falling down stairs and other drop-offs.
- Virtual Wall® technology keeps Scooba in the rooms you want to clean and out of those you don’t.
I made a little video showing you first hand how easy it is to use.
I show you how easy it is to set up to use, you get to see it in action in my home (there’s even a short clip of Cullen checking it out lol), then I show you how good of a job it did and how to clean it up when it’s finished cleaning your floors!
So cool right?
This would make a GREAT Mother’s Day gift! You could WIN ONE for Mom or your self!
The great people at iRobot would like to take the work out of cleaning floors for one lucky TidyMom reader!

I use a “twist mop” at the moment. Not a fan though. I buy a new mop every few months – always looking for something to make it less of a hassle. 🙂
I need this more than you know! 140 lb dog and a cat and two boys…I think that says enough! Fingers crossed that I win! 🙂 I already “like” you on FB and am a follower on Pinterest and “liked” Roomba on FB. Will leave separate comments for each…
I follow TidyMom on Pinterest and get great ideas every day. I have used so many of them. Love it.

I usually mop or swiffer clean my floors. When they are really dirty I will hand wash them, or use some floor cleaner for spot treatments:)
I would love this – i just moved into a home with ALL tile floor and I HATE mopping!!!
I hope I win!

unfortunately, i’m still washing floors the “old fashioned” way…on my hands and knees…
oh, how i would love to win the iRobot!!!
I use vinegar water and my vileda but I sure would live a scuba:)
Thanks for trying to help all of us in our ventures into cleaning, I know that as a terminally ill and disabled person this would make me not so disabled and would help me to keep my floors just as clean as before I became sick!!!
I follow TidyMom on Pinterest and facebook. I currently clean floors with a mop.
I have a Bissell Steam,& Sweep & its still work! I hear these r awesome!!
i follow you on pinterest, twitter and facebook….i liked you on facebook and liked on the iRobot page!!
I have all tile and wood floors, and the iRobot would makeup life do much easier. So much better than mopping up after the dogs and kids.
I like Rumba & Tidymom & follow Tidymom on fb & Pinterest.
I use my Rubbermaid Reveal with some Murphy oil soap along with some water for my hardwood floors and on my tile I just hand clean them since they are smaller areas.
I use the Sweeper, but that doesn’t really scrub anything…simply wipes it. So, every once in a while, I’ll get down on the good ol’ hands and knees to scrub the floors.
I like’d TidyMom on Facebook…I visit Facebook everyday, so now I can get your tips daily. Thank you.
I use a Hoover Floormate. I have lots of ceramic tile and hardwood. The Roomba would make my life so much easier.
How do I clean my floors? POORLY and RARELY!! That’s why I need to win this wonderful robot! 🙂 Thanks for the opportunity to do so!
I’m definitely a fan on Facebook!!
I follow you on Pinterest… I hope that you follow me there too! @BecHef

With 5 kids and 1 dog, mopping is a daily chore. This would be great for our family!
I have wood and tile floors and one lovely springer named Lula. I am cleaning my floors with swiffer, then mop and vinegar. All the time.

Would love to try this!! I clean my floors with a broom first. Then I pull out thef mop- very old school!
I have a cream colored floor and a black dog. I have to sweep/mop every day after work. An iRobot Scooba would be a dream come true!
I vacuum and then mop with Rubbermaid Reveal
I “liked” you on FB.
I have 2600 sq feet of all floor no carpet and thoroughly clean my floors once a week and do mid week cleanings. Every sunday I broom the whole house and underneath all the furnture to capture the dust. Then I take the vacuum and do the same. Vacuum the whole place and with the small removable nozel I get all the hard to reach spots. Last step of my thorough cleaning is either steam mopping (using filtered water) the entire place or getting on my hands and knees and damp mopping the entire place (with filtered water and a small bit on pin sol). My mid week cleanings include brooming and vacuuming 2x during the week. Our floors get so dirty so fast! This is the only way I have found to keep it clean!
I clean my never ending dirty floors with a mucky old mop and dry it off with the cat lol! (just kidding) I’m a fan on Facebook, twitter hmm(getting there, not sure how it all works yet, too busy mopping the floors 😉
FANTASTIC SITE btw Thanks <3 Love and God Bless you and yours from rainy old England 🙂

oh also i’m pregnant…so after the baby comes this routine will have to increase 1000x over to make sure she has a sanitary environment!
I use a Swiffer or good old “hands and knees”!
What an amazing machine! This would clean my floors effortlessly! Love it!
