How does a Scooba fit into my cleaning routine?
Scooba is sure to become the superhero of your cleaning routine. This amazing robot washes your floors clean of all the caked-on spills, dirt and gunk that life leaves behind. Sure you could use other products for quick cleanups, but Scooba is what’s really going to dive in and save the day – getting through those built-up layers of grime. Even more amazing – using Scooba once or twice a week cleans up to 98%* of common household bacteria.
*When used as directed, laboratory testing results indicate removal of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus bacteria after two passes of the Scooba Floor Washing Robot. Individual results may vary.
Does Scooba vacuum the floor?
No, Scooba doesn’t vacuum, but it does prep the floors before it starts washing. Think of it as the pre-sweep that you used to have to do before mopping. Now Scooba does both things for you. No more mop and bucket. No more elbow grease and scrub brush.
Is there any maintenance I need to worry about?
Scooba’s real “wow” comes when you empty the tank and see all the dirty water pour out. Imagine that was on your floors! To keep Scooba working its magic, just make sure the tank, brush, filter and vacuum port are clean after each use – don’t worry we’ll show you exactly how easy this is. And when you’re not using Scooba, charge the battery and take it out of the robot or charging base - that will keep it primed and ready for its next job.
How do I decide which Scooba is right for me?
Easy, just figure out how much floor space you want to clean. Remember, Scooba can only be used on sealed hardwoods, tile and linoleum. So choose the model that best matches the square footage you need cleaned. Certain models also come with additional accessories. These accessories can also be purchased separately from our website if the model that best fits your home doesn’t come with them.
Is there a warranty?
All of our cleaning robots have a one-year warranty and a 30-day money-back guarantee. We want you to try it out and make sure it’s right for your home. Buying a robot is new to most people, but once you see it in action, we’re sure you’ll be amazed and want to keep your robot busy in your home. And, iRobot has very helpful representatives in our technical support service centers waiting to answer any questions you have.
What else will I need to buy to get started?
Nothing! Everything you need to get Scooba started comes in the box it arrives in. Of course, we recommend that you monitor all parts for wear from regular use. When it comes time to buy filters or brushes or additional cleaning solution, visit our website for everything you need to keep Scooba running.
How will my pets react?
Most pets adapt quickly to our floor washing robots, but it’s a good idea to supervise the initial introduction. Their first meeting is always fun to watch - they might even jump on for a ride!
How do I get the most out of the Scooba battery?
You can charge your Scooba battery directly from the robot or through a charging base that comes standard with some models. To prolong the life of the battery, always keep it fully charged and remove it from the robot or charging base – that way it’s fully charged and ready for the next time.
