iRobot today announced the iRobot scooba Floor
Washing Robot has been honored with the International Consumer
Electronic Showcase (CES) "Best of Innovations Design and
Engineering" Award in the Home Appliance category. scooba
is the first floor washing robot available for home use.
The robot was selected as a winner from a pool of more than
1,000 entries from 164 companies.
Each year since 1989, the International CES Innovations
Design and Engineering Awards recognize the newest consumer
electronic technologies that exhibit excellence in design
and engineering. Best of Innovations Awards are given to
the highly honored products in this group. Last year, the
iRobot Roomba Discovery Vacuuming Robot received the
award in the Home Appliance category.
“This marks the second year in a row that CES recognized
an iRobot product as one of its most innovative technologies,” said
Greg White, executive vice president and general manager,
iRobot. “The scooba builds on the success of the Roomba
Vacuuming Robot, taking the utility of home robots to a new
level.”
scooba's innovative cleaning process allows the robot to
simultaneously prep, wash, scrub and dry hard floors, all
at the touch of a button. Unlike a conventional mop that
spreads dirty water on the floor, scooba applies only fresh
water and cleaning solution to the floor from a clean tank.
scooba can clean wet spills in addition to dirt and grime,
and it is safe for use on all sealed, hard floor surfaces,
including wood and tile. The iRobot scooba Floor Washing
Robot will be available at retail outlets in the first quarter
of 2006 and can be pre-ordered online at www.irobot.com.
