The Blitzkrieg Of Clean

Doctor Vanvin Von Venvun scowled at the iRobot Scooba purring across the room. He was sure that the Scooba scowled back. Venvun envied the little Scooba’s AWARE Robot Intelligence System, the sensor array, the constant scans of the environment, the ability to adjust behavior up to 67 times a second. Doctor Venvun hadn’t adjusted anything 67 times a second since he was fifteen. He had long despised the cocky way the Scooba slid across the hardwood floor. Confident. Arrogant. Bold as a Ptolemy. Prepping, washing, scrubbing and drying all in one single pass. Even if someone “forgot” to sweep first, the clever iRobot Scooba still found a way.

Venvun pretended not to notice as the Scooba cleaned an area equal to an entire standard-sized kitchen with one tank of water mixed with cleaning solution. He curled his lip into a sneer as the Scooba made it into hard-to-reach places. He could hear the tiny brushes quietly spinning. It was said that they moved at 1,500 revolutions a minute. Doctor Venvun hadn’t moved anything at 1,500 revolutions a minute since he was thirteen. He marveled how the Scooba marched ever onward, letting nothing stop it, master of the known world, building cities of clean from the wreckage of dust and grime.

Venvun watched in bitter amazement as the Scooba picked up a single Rice Krispie. Such delicate suction. Such skillful intake. It was as though he were Darius before Alexander the Great, the Krispie the symbol of a golden empire which was even now falling from his hands. For a moment Venvun considered smashing the power station with the included measuring cup, or maybe pulling out the Scooba’s rechargeable battery, or the Virtual Wall, surely it would be possible to jam the Virtual Wall… but in the end, Venvun knew it was all just too late, and he looked at the floor. He was beaten.

Vanvin Von Venvun, PhD in Speculative Janitological Physics, sighed as he lifted his protective paper hat in salute. Did he just imagine that the little iRobot Scooba stopped for a moment, as though acknowledging a fellow general across the battlefield? Perhaps, thought Doctor Venvun as he walked out of Lion Of Macedon Public Elementary School for the last time, perhaps in another life, the iRobot Scooba and I could have been friends.

Features

Warranty: 90 Days from iRobot

Scooba features a proprietary four-stage cleaning system that will simultaneously prep, wash, scrub, and dry your floor in a single pass.

Prep: With Scooba, there's no need to sweep the floor before washing. Scooba preps your floor by picking up loose dirt and light debris, including hair, dust, and many cereals.
Wash: Scooba then washes your floor by laying down a mixture of specially formulated Clorox Scooba cleaning solution and water. Clorox Scooba cleaning solution is safe on all sealed hard floor surfaces. And it's nontoxic, so it's safe to use around kids and pets.
Scrub: Next, Scooba's specially designed brushes gently scrub floors, cleaning spills and removing grime. Scooba's brush spins at 1,500 revolutions per minute, scrubbing your floor more effectively than traditional mops or any other hard-floor cleaning system.
Dry: Finally, Scooba actually dries your floor by picking up the dirty water left on the floor and depositing it into a second tank. The residue is held in the "Dirty" tank until it is emptied. So, instead of just redistributing the dirty water around your floor like standard mops do, Scooba leaves your floor cleaner, drier, and ready to walk on.

Features:

Scooba thoroughly cleans floors, covering every section of the floor an average of four times.
During a cleaning cycle, Scooba monitors its environment 67 times per second and adjusts its cleaning behavior for maximum coverage.
Scooba uses three behaviors in every cleaning cycle, ensuring thorough cleaning of the entire area.
Wall Following: Scooba uses this technique to clean the entire perimeter of the room and for navigating around furniture and other obstacles.
Room Crossing: Scooba crisscrosses the room as it looks for new areas to clean, ensuring total coverage of the room.
Spiraling: In this mode, Scooba creates a large spiral pattern to effectively cover large open areas
Floor-washing robot that preps, washes, scrubs, and dries in one pass
