      Love the iRobot cleaning robots. Have 3 Roomba's which all are very effective. Bought a refurbished Scooba 9 months ago to add to the "family" but have only experienced problems with the robot and the battery. The iRobot customer service has been responsive, but after the third worn-out battery I'm going to return the robot. Probably soon for sale as a another refurbished Scooba. Hope soon to see next generation Scooba we need it.

      i robot vacums are nice but the scooba are more trouble then they are helpful.. takes just about as much time to prep and clean the robot as it would if you had just mopped it yourself

      Agree with 1 and 2. The regular ones are great. The scooba is really slow, leaves the floor too wet and leaves foam on it which results in stripes. It s much faster to take windex, and whipe the floor then to put the scooba to work.

      Wait until they gang up on you and stab you to death in the middle of the night, #1.

      For protection, make sure you have enough of those virtual walls that these robots cannot pass through.

      What will you do when they start breading and run a muck? Things would have turned out badly in I Robot if Will Smith hadn't saved the day. Do you have him as a neighbor? Going through virtual walls does not violate the robot laws so can be disregarded when the time is right.

      These are fun for the dog and cat to chase Razz pretty much a novelty

      That bread machine is another robot!

      I don't know what "muck" is, but I don't want any robots running it in my house.
