The iRobot scooba Floor
Washing Robot has been honored with a Popular Science “Best
of What’s New” Award in the Home Technology category.
scooba is the first floor washing robot designed for home
use.
Each year, the editors of Popular Science select the top
100 technology innovations of the year for the “Best
of What’s New” awards. These products represent
a significant leap in their categories.
“‘Best of What's New’ is the ultimate
Popular Science accolade, representing a year's worth of
work evaluating thousands of products,” says Mark Jannot,
editor of Popular Science. “These awards honor innovations
that not only influence the way we live today, but that change
the way we think about the future.”
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. scooba is expected to be available
at retail outlets in the first quarter of 2006.
“scooba replaces the tedious and time-consuming task
of mopping,” said Greg White, executive vice president
and general manager, iRobot Consumer Robots. “We are
glad the editors of Popular Science recognized scooba as
an exciting new home technology.”
