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 sponge mop and hate it. I had a Scooba years ago when they first came out but it finally died. Would love a new one now that they’ve worked out all the bugs.

I sweep and use the swiffer wet jet, and on occasion get on my hands and knees with a bucket and rags.

My favorite way to clean floors is to have my husband do it. Otherwise I sweep then mop with sponge.
I have a steam mop (H2O) and I still don’t mop as often as I should!
For quick clean ups, we clean our tile floors with the towel dance. Drop a wet towel on the floor, step on it, and scoot around the until the dirt is up. For a more serious cleaning, we have two choices: the big yellow industrial bucket and a string mop or the floor steamer.
Of course, I like Tidy Mom on facebook.
iRobot is now liked on facebook, too.
I have a wonderful Great Dane BUT! when a Dane drinks water not all of it stays in his mouth. I need to clean the floor daily. There have been days when I have dumped a bucket of soapy water on the floor and just mop it up……….. Sailor style! hahaha
I sweep with a broom, sweep with a swiffer, mop with a swiffer, hand vac and get on my hands and knees and spray windex and wipe it up. I have wanted an iRobot for a long time, oh please be a winner!

It seems I am just not strong enough to ever get my floor as clean as I want! I went from a string-style mop, to a sponge mop (ugh!) to a plug in steam swiffer thing. I just want my floor to look as good as new without back breaking, sweat inducing labor!!! : )
I just found Tidy Mom through stumbleupon! Book-marked for sure, and I’m going to ‘like’ you on Facebook too! Thanks for all the great cleaning/organizing tips!
I clean my floors the old fashioned way, on my knees with a scrub brush!
I follow you on Pinterest and Facebook. Someone to clean my floors besides our two Beagles would be great! I sweep most of the time, but don’t mop really….

I use a rubbermaid mop that you make your own solution for. And of course the only way to get it really clean, on your hands and knees with a bucket and rag… would love an irobot though! And it would entertain my cats!

I clean my ceramic tile floors by vacuuming for an hour and a half flowed by a bucket and little ones helping me with their string mops. Whew, it is hard and rewarding work!

3 kids under 8. Yes please.
I would LOVE to win one of those babies!!! I wash my floor with a swiffer, a Shark Steam cleaner and when I really want it to be amazing, I get down on my hands and knees and brush and scrub it myself.
Love your blog!
I use a mop. My house has all tile floors, so this would be HEAVEN!
I don’t love to clean my floors or my house. lol
I use a broom and mop. It takes forever and we have no carpet in our home. This would be awesome to have here! Thanks!
