I'm Bridget Carey with C net here at CES 2014 we're working a bit of a cleaning demo from a brand-new scuba from iRobot the company that makes the Roomba this is the scuba 450 here on this demonstration it's clean up a floor that had a bunch of gook on it some old coffee some Cheerios some ketchup and what's different about this scuba is that it's completely redesigned from the last model that came out three years ago this time around there's a three cycle cleaning process because let's be honest sometimes things on the kitchen are kind of stuck on the tile so on the first cycle it'll go around clean up all the dry debris like the Cheerios and it'll also lay down a thin sheen of water or if you have the I Robot scuba solution it'll also lay that down and then the second time around the scrub brush kicks in and finally it'll go through once again with a squeegee to make sure picked up anything that it left behind the toilet process should take about 20 minutes for about a hundred and fifty square feet it's really easy to pop off the tank you just press the button it comes off and you can access the clean water compartment and empty out the dirty Bardo compartment if you need to clean the scrub brush you can also pop that out easily too underneath you'll find a brush that cleans up dry debris there's also a scrub brush for really getting it clean it spins at 600 rpm and there's also a squeegee there for taking up all the rest of the dirty water on the front of the scuba you'll see a clean button that will light up to show you the cycle progress there's also an information button that you can press where the scuba will talk to you it'll let you know if something needs to be changed or if the waters low and there's also a button that can set the size of the room so it knows to cover a large area or a small area when the scoop is done and you dumped out the dirty water you can put it on the dry dock charging and drying stand where it'll give it an air dry cycle to keep things fresh the Scooba 450 makes its debut here at the show it goes on sale this week for $600 here at the sea net stage at CES 2014 I'm Bridget Carey
