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 vacuum the floors — occasionally steam mop them!
I clean my hardwood and ceramic floors with a swiffer, or steam mop, or libman wonder mop. It’s a constant battle, with two sons and a husband!
I currently use a steamer product but it doesn’t do the best job. Would love to try one of these!
I use a steam mop but a Roomba would be less work. Love it!
Cleaning my floors is my least favorite chore. When I must I clean them with my Dyson vacumn then Shark steam mop.

I vacuum, sweep and mop – constantly!!
Vacuum and mop. Endlessly.
Sweep and mop with pine sol. 🙂
I use my Dyson first to get the big stuff, debris and such. I do this almost every day. Then on the hardwoods, I use the Shark Steamer. It works great too! But would love an iRobot Scooba 390.
I need this!!! I hope That win it.
I really would LOVE to win the iROBOT SCOOBA 390!!! I need this. I hate to admit that I fail at being a TIDYMOM, But I am a TIDYMOM want to be! 🙂 This would help me . Heeheehee

I use the shark steam mop. Would love to try this out.
My floors are cleaned by a nice woman I pay to clean my house for me every month. 🙂 In between, I usually use the vacuum. The scooba would be a nice upgrade!
OHHHHHH I would LOVE this! We have been in our new house for a year now, and I still do not know what to do with all of the laminate! I’ve tried traditional mopping, I’ve tried Swiffering, I’ve tried getting down on my hands and knees {and that was not pleasant ~ it’s just too big an area!}. I almost broke down yesterday and bought a steam mop. Would love, love, love this!
Oh, and I follow on Pinterest! 🙂
Of course I like you on Facebook and now I like iRobot too!

I sweep my floors and use a scrub brush to spot clean and scrub my ceramic tile. It’s a back-killing, miserable process! I started following you on pinterest; I’m Lemon CAC on pinterest. Love your blog!
