The Scooba 230 kills 97% of common household bacteria with
deadly efficiency. Even better, this home appliance robot eliminates a source
of domestic despair. Standing just 3.5 inches tall and measuring 6.5 inches in
diameter, the latest offering from iRobot Corp. is no R2-D2, of course. But it "has
effectively made one of people's least favorite household chores, cleaning the
bathroom, a whole lot easier," claims company president Jeff Beck.
Unlike a homeowner armed with a mop and bucket, the Scooba
230 never uses dirty water to clean a floor. That's because the robot's
three-stage cleaning system contains separate, self-adjusting reservoirs. When filled
with cleaning solution, the Scooba 230 can scrub and squeegee up to 150 square
feet of linoleum, tile, or sealed hardwood floors. As the robot completes its
mission, however, the active reservoir shrinks in size to free up space for dirty,
germy water.
Upon completing its mission, the Scooba 230 notifies its
owner with lights and chimes. The holidays may be over, but would you like
to see this home-appliance robot under your Christmas tree next year?
