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 just bought a steam mop a couple of months ago. But a robot to do the job would be perfect!

I use a steam mop and a little vinegar.
I use my steam cleaner

A bucket and sponge, if I am in a hurry then I use a mop.
Cleaning our floors is my least favorite household chore! We use a push mop with vinegar and water. One of these little guys sure would make life easier.

I clean my floors with a steam mop. I dislike mopping.
I followed you on pinterest too.
I added you to my facebook!:)
I clean them almost daily with my Dyson vacuum then I get out the mop and mop them. I hate having two dogs and two boys- what messes!!

Sweep and mop and sometimes shark
One of my most disliked chores is washing floors with a mop!! I would love to win the iRobot!!
One of my likes is your FB page!!
I still get down on my hands and knees most of the time, swiffer between times…but definitely would be interested in this!
I use a swifter wet mop.
I would love to have one of these since I have twin boys that turned 13 months and are making my floors dirty daily. This would be awesome!
I use my Vedela mop weekly and hands and knees daily.

I currently clean my floors with a steam cleaner.
I tweeted about the giveaway.
when the floors just need a light cleaning i use swiffer wet cloths but for heavy duty cleaning i use mr clean (the blue one) and a scrubby mop.
Sadly, I sweep periodically and mop when we hear that “sticky” sound walking across the floor. A robot invasion would be awesome!
I have a Shark vac and steam.
I use my Bissell carpet steamer with the bare floor attatchment. It would be nice to walk away while the kitchen,bathrooms,foyer is being cleaned.
I go the old fashioned route – a mop and pine sol. Thanks!
I’m kind of crazy when it comes to cleaning so I vacuum first, then get on my hands and knees and scrub the floors!
Great giveaway, Cheryl. We use a Swiffer Wet Jet to clean our floors – but it’s definitely one of our least favorite chores – aside for cleaning toilets of course!
I tweeted!
I have hardwood floors throughout the home, so I’m usually stuck washing the floors by hand to make sure I can reach every nook and cranny. This would save me SO much time (and sore knees) if I win the Scooba! 🙂 Thanks!

I have my husband do it for me. So this would be a huge lifesaver for us. I mean, for him!!
I sweep. When someone is feeling particularly moxious I mop.

I use a Stram mop that is on its last legs! They seem to only last a year, or is it me?
I clean my floors with Meyers clean day and a mop. Love the smell!!
