The Scooba got major play in today's Washington Post, which issued a "Big Thumbs Up" review and a nice big picture to go along with it under the headline "Roomba's Scrubbing Cousin."
Highlights:
I am not a big mopper myself, and so I was ridiculously excited to try Scooba, a sleek, round disk somewhere between the size of a Frisbee and a trash can lid. My kids were excited, too, although once they saw it had no arms and didn't talk or carry a weapon, they drifted back to their coloring/tower building/house destruction activities (but not before my daughter declared Scooba a boy, which I found refreshing, given his line of work). ...I'm always amazed that reviewers expect the Scooba to vacuum up mounds of ketchup or baked on stuff -- especially stuff that they could easily give Scooba a little help with. Scooba remains my favorite iRobot product, because I hate mopping and scrubbing floors even more than vacuuming.
Overall, I'd give Scooba a big thumbs up, even if it didn't scrub away everything. It's perfect for people who aren't inclined to break out the mop and bucket, who don't have a lot of extra time or who have small children (especially crawlers, who are known to dine off the floor whenever possible).
