Customer Reviews of the iRobot Scooba 350:
I actually own the 380 model. I consider my floor clean only if I was on my hands and knees cleaning the floor. With four boys it is a everyday affair and I always do not have the time or energy to scrub my floors.
I put the scooba to a test after a day of spilled tea and sugar on the floor along with the muddy footprints. I swept the floor and set it loose. It cleaned up everything, even the areas that I missed from the broom. The only areas the scooba does not clean are corners, but it will free up your time to clean other areas in the house.

This is a great concept, but did not work for my floors. Product is not safe for laminate wood flooring, which is what I turned out to have. Also, my tile floors are white with deep white grout lines, and the dirty water tended to pool in the grout lines. However, I could see this being a great product for other types of hardwood and tile/linoleum floors – just not a great fit in my case.

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!
