BuZZ from Customer Shopping

Scooba 5900 & 380 are terrible
I bought a Scooba 5900 in the fall of 2006. Within about 90 days, it malfunctioned & had to be replaced under the warranty. I boxed it up & paid to send it back to irobot. I received an in-warranty exchange of another Scooba 5900. It also stopped working within the warranty period. This time irobot sent me the Scooba 380 (May, 2007) In May 2008, I started having problems again with it not working. I called customer service & was told by the technician to replace the charger (due to the 4 beeps emitted from the unit). It took 2 months & 16 days to receive the trio pak ($119+). The scooba worked for about 15 minutes & then died. No lights, no sounds - nothing. Customer service solution is that I can pay $178 for a Scooba 5800 or $384+ for a Scooba 6060. THIS PRODUCT IS UNRELIABLE & A RIPOFF. BUYER BEWARE!!

Scooba = miracle worker
I wish I'd gotten my Scooba 350 sooner. Living with a 35kg/77lb Old English Sheepdog puppy who hasn't learned to lift his leg up when peeing, I'd developed thick callouses on my palms from mopping. So the Scooba is heaven sent! My floors are now cleaner than they've ever been.

My unit had an initial snag after the first overnight charge - it stopped after less than 10 minutes despite the indication of being fully charged when it started. That was thankfully, a one-off incident - I haven't stopped using it since. Although it charges fairly quickly, I wish it could do more rooms on one charge. Otherwise, it's fabulous in keeping the house clean and letting me spend more time with my puppy. I can't stop telling all my friends and family about Scooba!

Does the job, but leaves some touch-up work
well, it works, that's the good news. The tank full of dirty water is proof that it's doing the job. The bad news is that it doesn't do corners, and if you have a lot of dust (say, pet hair) you're probably best off doing some vaccuming first because it doesn't deal well with light things like hair that blow around instead of being trapped under the robot.

In short:
Pros:
1. It gets the floor clean
2. It works well w/vineagar, which is good news for those who prefer natural cleaning things intead of chemicals
3. it's pretty easy to clean up - just empty the tank, pop the brush and the filter and run them under the tap.
4. It leaves the floor reasonably dry.

Cons:
1. You'll go absolutely batty if you hang around and try to watch it work. It almost invariably does what i consider the wrong thing (like going the wrong way or going straight when it should be spiralling). save yourself the hassle - walk away and come back to a clean floor. It eventually does the job, and who cares if it takes more time? it's the robot's time, not yours.
2. it doesn't do corners. problem.
3. Occasionally the cycle has stopped in the middle (i think i had a dirty tank).
4. it's loud. really, really loud.
5. would be nice if it could handle more than 12' by 12' on 1 tank.

Overall, good product, if a little pricey (i bought it refurbished and have had no problems...)
