lovely ladies- does anyone own a scooba???

[nearlythere]

are they as good as the roomba- i was slighlty sceptical when i bought my first roomba but have since also bought one for upstairs!
I love my gadgets but need some positive reviews of the scooba before i buy one- also anyone know of a uk stockist?

What is a scooba? Are roombas really that good? Thinking about getting one, how long till they are full and are they any good on pet hairs?

ooh, my roombas are worth their weight in gold!!
the new breed (discovery series) have a big dust bucket, mine go on everyday (i have the schedulers) and gets emptied after each room. They are great for pet hairs- our house has never been so clean!
the scooba is the floor washing one, once you've got a roomba you will be singing their praises- and its a fabbo talking point for visitors!

OMG a floor washing one!! I NEED one of those, can't afford either at the moment though!! Isn't it a pain though, emptying it after each room? Does it do the job properly, you know to the edges and all that?

its less of a pain than doing it yourself- just a case of tipping the dust bucket over the bin and then sliding it back in.

i've just ordered my scooba so will keep you informed!!

they look great I want one do you have to oeder from the US

roombas come up regularly on ebay, but the scooba is quite rare in the uk- i am getting mine from the us

is the roomba good on wood floors and tiles? It sounds fab - might get one for my birthday [how sad is that?!]

brilliant on hard floors and short pile carpet- if you've got long pile/sink into carpet then it might get a litle lost but mine handle carpet, tiles and laminate very well!

no carpet in this house so sounds ideal

does it clean well around table legs etc?

not bad at all around obstacles, once or twice a week we move the furniture around so that 'roombie' can give it a proper clean!

Geekgrrl, not sad at all! If my birthday hadn't been i would be doing the same! Have to wait till Christmas i suppose, now that is SAD. Let us know what the new one is like!
