Its the cat express!! I personally like my RC car for playing with our family dog. He just follows and nudges the roomba so it isn't quite as fun. Happy Holidays!

It's nice to see someone else using the scooba on their hardwood floors.

Very funny video! :D But definitely you can clearly see the damage that the Scooba is causing on the laminated floor (take a closer look at the junctions, you can start to see the initial swelling of the laminate). :roll:

I viewed this Flash clip as "entertainment" but THX_1138 picked out the damage. I didn't noticed that as I am sure is the same case for the owner. Replacing a wood or laminate floor isn't quite as easy and far more costly than simply replacing a scooba for a roomba... or broom for that matter.

Sorry to disappoint you guys on the damage claims:

Any swelling you see was prior - this was the Scooba's first run ever in this room.

Fun video. :D

I'm am so disappointed to see so many issues with laminate flooring and bamboo flooring (not that I am going to replace my tile).

I was considering using one or both in my remodel for upstairs and love the look and especially the "sustainable" bamboo. Bummer. :cry: :cry: :cry:
