I still have my scooba 390, from a few years ago. I would love to have a better upgraded version. Why would you stop manufacturing such a great product that sweeps and mops at the SAME time, that is what i most love about this product. I do have the roomba 980, but it doesn't mop, so it is a very good product, but it is not the whole package like the scooba. I love my scooba, and would love to purchase a upgraded version of it!!!! Please let me know if you are going to manufacture it again. Thank you.

I still have and use a Scooba 380! Everything works great except the opening handle has broken a month ago. If iRobot re-released the Scooba 450 I would buy it!
My kitchen & bathroom floors are much cleaner than our Brava 380 could get them. I do run our Roomba 880 before using the Scooba to get up dirt, hair, etc. We have ceramic tile with a heavily textured surface set in fairly wide deep grout (think Mexican tile). I see a noticeable improvement on the tile edges and in the grout as compared to damp mopping with our Braava 380, but it's still not 100% - thus 4 stars rather than 5 (wish there was something that really went down into the grout lines). While the room size of my kitchen is small, I used the large area cleaning mode to get extra scrubbing time. Note that you CANNOT use vinegar, or any Clorox (even the iRobot Clorox which can be used with other iRobot products), or any cleaning solution except the iRobot brand with the Scooba 450 - it voids the warranty. The Scooba does not go up on thicker carpeting, nor does it wet the edge of that carpeting. However, it will climb up on thinner carpeting. It does a fantastic job of getting itself out of slots, such as along the narrow space between the toilet and adjacent wall (it wiggles around until the front is facing out the slot and then just shoots out). The diameter of the Scooba is 14.5" (bigger than a Roomba) so it won't go around toilets that have really narrow spaces along the sides. Watching it shake itself at the end of a cycle is hilarious - and better than a dog, it then circles around and gets up the water it has shaken off. And finally, it is very easy to clean when you're finished.
Better at cleaning small rooms , i clean a large area and by the time it has to pick up the liquid the floor has already dried.. I have about 800 sq. ft. Of vinyl flooring, I do 400 sq. ft. At a time and it works great. Due to health problems I can not wash floors this is a very helpful friend I love the irobot company, they have been so helpful with their customer service.
I absolutely love my Scooba 450 and couldn't live without it. It hasn't been hassle free-I had to send in the original robot twice for repair or replacement when I first got it, but it was definitely worth the trouble. I have had it for over a year now, and use it every day, rotating small areas for it to clean. I have a lot of tile, and mopping was the job I couldn't stand. I will purchase every future improved model of this product forever. It is pricey but in my household, it has paid for itself because otherwise I would hire a cleaning person. Without the floors to worry about, I am happy and capable of doing it all on my own.
I would definetly buy this product again !!! I have two !!

I have 2 I robot vacuums they are an essential part of my cleaning routine I am always in a hurry to empty the bin to see how much dirt and pet hair it has cleaned up its amazing . having pets I sometime use it morning and evening . I walk bare feet in my home and appreciate nice comfortable clean floors . all I have to do is empty the bin when its done ! I would recommend it all day long !! When im shopping and I see someone looking at an I robot I always brag about how I am so pleased with my ones ! and I don't work for the company .
