Just ordered Scooba 230!

[Nightweaver]

I just ordered the new Scooba 230 and I'm excited! I've been getting very frustrated with my original Scooba getting stuck in my small bathrooms - it can just clean the large tiled floors from now on. I'm looking forward to seeing what this new little guy can do... hope it gets here soon. It's fun to be commander of a robotic fleet! Anything I need to be aware of in advance?

Just remember to sweep the floor prior to running your new 230.

Make sure to post back after a few good runs?

Yes, I'll sweep first - I do that with the bigger Scooba too even though it can pick up a little. My fuzzy cats freely share themselves and it goes everywhere...

The excellent review here was a big help, and I see there's a FAQ for info also. I'm not sure about the enzyme solution, may try just plain water first and see what happens.

Now if only they'd come out with a Scoopa for cleaning litter boxes I'd be set!

It just arrived and is charging. Yay! It's so tiny... just amazing and very clever. Chances are very good I'll be scrubbing a bathroom at 11 PM tonight. Yes, my concept of partying down on a Friday night has really changed...

Debbie,

Congrats!!!

Let us know how it goes.

mine's arrived yesterday, already charged and tested in the bathrooms...I'm very happy with it.
It leaves on the floor much less water than the big scooba. And the dirty water is...dirty at least as when I clean with the 385.
I am not too happy with the smell of the iRobot cleaner...I prefer the vinegar! If only someone could confirm it's safe for the little scooba...

[Fraggboy]

Have you emailed iRobot asking them if it's safe to use vinegar?

[claudiobosticco]

not yet! I've reduced to 2ml the irobot cleaner, and it doesn't smell bad. But I suspect it was the bladder which smelled in the firsts runs.
