If you can only find one ....

Our Roomba 450 is tremendous. None of the other robo-mops are like it (that I've found). Makes two passes over the floor. Filling and emptying the tank is a breeze (only a single debris screen in the tank sometimes needs cleaning and requires a screwdriver to access it, which is so out of character with the rest of the design). A cleaning solution measuring cup is integrated into the tank cap.Puts down cleaning water/solution mix and scrubs with a brush (we like Pine Sol ... leaves such a nice scent afterwards). Then it goes back to pick up the dirty water. Only very occasionally gets into a position where it needs a little help. The only potential snarls in the process we have found are that: 1). If the battery dies or the Scooba gets stuck, the mop water dries up before it is collected. 2). sort of the same is true in a room too big. The water dries before the mop gets back to slurp it up. This just requires some thoughtful use of the virtual wall boundaries to divide up the room into sections. The only upsetting thing is ... look how much people love these things (chants of "Bring Back the Scooba"). But iRobot has stopped producing almost any of the parts so if something breaks ... even a small thing ... your Scooba is a doorstop with nothing similar to replace it.
Pros: Cleans Effectively, Cleans Under Furniture, Easy To Use, Very well made
Cons: Noisy, Requires Management for Larger Spaces
I would recommend this to a friend!

Who's bright idea was it to discontinue Scooba?

It is amazing that the pioneer of robotic vacuums and mopping robots would discontinue the Scooba for the Bravva line. I have been purchasing and using your robots since 2010. I just recently bought the S9+. I currently own 6 Roombas and 5 Scoobas (2 330s, 2 380s and a 450). The Scooba was by far your best product. Why would you discontinue something that worked so well? PLEASE BRING IT BACK.
Pros: Cleans Effectively, Cleans Under Furniture, Easy To Use, Hassle Free Operation, Large Debris Bin, Long Run Time, No other mopping but can touch it...
Cons: Long Charge Time

Please Bring Scooba Back, Braava Mopping does not work well

Please Bring Scooba Back. I bought 4 of them Scooba 450 version. I have 3 in use and one in backup in case one of the 3 breaks down. One at home, one at office and one at my second office. Save money on Janitor fees and only need to hire the janitor once per month instead of weekly. That equates to $$$. Heavy traffic lobby and office.
Pros: Cleans Effectively, Cleans Under Furniture, Easy To Use
Cons: Noisy

Loved my Scooba and wish I could buy another one

In a market of microfiber spray "mops", there is a huge hole that the Scooba could fill. The tank of dirty water at the end of the cycle was a clear indication of a clean floor. Microfiber cloths and sprays simple push dirty crud around the floor. I had the original version many years ago and the battery finally gave out. When I went to buy a new one, I found out they were discontinued and the replacement is clearly inferior. Please bring back the Scooba! It was a sanity saver!
Pros: Cleans Effectively, Easy To Use, Hassle Free Operation

I have been using my Scooba 450 for 3 Years. Looking for another one to help me clean the garage. I bought a Brave 380t but only used for several times because you have to replace the mop fragrantly. I searched online and stores but they are showing unavailable. Please please bring the Scooba back.

Mop and bucket replacement!

I had the first Scooba and it worked well, but needed some updating.... then I got the 450! Wow! The design team hit a home run! This bot needs to be matched with the correct surface for max performance. If you have tile that's fairly smooth, this bot is perfect... 24" modern monster tiles, to little mosaic or penny tiles this work great, anything with a smooth and even finish and level grout..... A bad tile for example is hand finished Mexican tile with deep grout or any tile with uneven surface, as it is hard for the vacuum to suck up the water after the scrub. I installed tile that looks like wood plank and it works perfectly... I-robot, please bring this back to market or refresh the Scooba line... Sooo many people are coming back to tile from pre-finished wood plank, and this bot was perfect for tile... Thank you for continuing to support your previous models... Both my scooba bots are still running strong!
Pros: Best floor washing bot ever made!, Cleans Effectively, Easy To Use, Hassle Free Operation, Long Run Time
