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 have ALWAYS wanted an irobot! I swiffer~and swiffer wet mop~this would be awesome~gonna look for u on pintrest~addicted…
Big vacuum, little vacuum & swiffer.
I liked TidyMom on Facebook and followed on Pinterest. I sweep or vacuum my hardwods and then get down on my hands and knees with a cloth and cleaner and clean away. Tons of fun.
I follow TidyMom on Pinterest (and enjoy those pins!). 🙂
I have 4 cats and a toddler so I vacuum every other day, use a handheld vacuum for the stairs once a week, sweep up the kitchen with a broom at least twice a day, and try to steam mop the kitchen floor once a month.

I try to sweep at least once a day, and spot check throughout the week as needed. Then I dust mop and mop all the tile once a week. It would be so nice to have an iRobot Scooba 390 to do the job – there’s a lot of tile over here!

I dry and wet swiffer, and this would definitely make the job so much easier! I already like Tidymom on facebook and will go like iRobot right now!
I vaccum and then I mop the old traditional way. I have four kids, two dogs, husband and a home daycare! Cleaning my floors are a challenge but a must. This would definately give me back at least an hour a day. 🙂 I Love Tidymom and visit every few days for updates. Keep up the great ideas!
I clean my floors as little as possible. This would be great.
I usually vacuum the floors and then steam mop 🙂
I clean my 1000 sq ft+ or hardwoods with a steam mop most of the time, but also rotate a Hoover floormate, traditional mop, and hands and knees washings. I have eyed the scoop a for sometime… I want it sooooo bad!

following you on interest! Thank you so much!
When I want my floors really clean I put the mop away and do it the old fashioned way: on my hands and knees. But the Roomba would change all that!
I clean them with wood cleaner on a swiffer…but I try not to. 🙂
