2011-03-23
what's up everyone jon rettinger from technobuffalo here there are many things in this world that I love candy and technology among them but there are also equally as many things that I don't like and one of those very high on the list is cleaning as my wife will attest to I might not be the cleanest and most neat person in the world but I think what I have in front of me might help solve my problem and if you can read chances are you already know what it is it is the new irobot scooba and i'm not talking SC uva like scuba diving self-contained underwater breathing apparatus I am talking scuba SC 00 ba this is the mopping robot it is going to mop your hardwood floors in your apartment in your house in your mom's apartment house wherever you might be that you need some mopping and you don't want to bust out the mop and the bucket this is going to take care of it for you it's going to set you back just about $300 to 9999 it's available now it uses am reading this right from the iRobot side here and allegedly having tested it yet uses a rigorous three-stage cleaning system to wash scrub then squeegee vacuum up the dirty water and a sequence that neutralizes 90s at verse ninety-seven percent of common household bacteria now you might have seen a scuba on the channel before I actually unboxed me viewed the scuba 350 go ahead and take a look at that links gonna be down below scuba 350 was giant this is actually much smaller cleaned up to 150 square feet in a single session 6.5 inches in diameter can clean where dirt and grime hide because it's small now enough of me talking about a mop let's go ahead and take a look at this vacuum or mopping scuba thing the scuba 350 that i have it i love i have affectionately nicknamed Scoob this one I think I might call shaggy so let's go ahead and unbox shaggy now this guy is much smaller than the 350 in fact it's so small that I didn't think the scuba was in here when the box showed up so I actually opened the tape to make sure I thought this was just going to be the accessory box turns out the scuba is actually in here so we're going to sort of do an unboxing rien boxing a type thing so for sake of history I am going to use the big ol knife to cut non-existent tape I'll make a joke about not cutting my finger Hey look at that it's cut I didn't cut my finger awesome ok so let's go ahead and take a look at the i robot 2 30 I've been a big fan of irobot for a while they're doing some awesome things in the robotics world they do a lot with the military and they also make some awesome house cleaning robots which if your nerd and you don't like to clean it's a pretty awesome combo we also have the scuba series which will vacuum so we'll go ahead and open this up stop don't stop let's keep going alright so what are we going to have in the box we are going to have something that I believe is going to cover guessing the bottom of the scuba we are going to have one of these brushes take a look now what's up I'll go ahead and read through it all this business is there is a charging brick which is really small actually it almost looks like a cell phone charging brick from a few years ago it's got a proprietary cord on here I'm guessing is the battery and in my cell phone battery unboxing let's check the size seven point two volts nickel metal hydride battery pack so this is going to power your scuba don't dispose your batteries by the way by throwing the trash take them to a recycling place if you're anywhere near best buy costco or wherever you might be chances are they're going to have a battery recycling place we've got your scuba fluid since it is a mop you can use sort of a vinegar type fluid as well you can also use their natural enzyme formula I actually use this with the scuba 350 works really so they give you a little sample of that and underneath here which I thought didn't have anything is our tiny little vacuum cleaning friend and this guy is much much smaller than I expected so here is shaggy let's go ahead and take a look at I can pull them out of the box plastic so much smaller it's amazing what they do from a size standpoint this thing is I mean look at it on my hand and it really doesn't weigh much certainly the batteries on that it's not filled with water but it is really small and I've never seen and irobot scooba or rumba go around your floor it's kind of neat to see it almost sounds a little personality as it rolls around it's got some we're souls and brushes and wheels and somehow manages them up so push that off the side for just a moment I think we've got two virtual walls what these can do is you can set barriers where you want it to mop and not mop if you want stay out of our room or only sing in a room these guys can set that wall for you if you perhaps have hardwood floors upstairs didn't have to worry your scuba is not going to scuba itself down your stairs in a fit of terrible electronic robot death I actually knows that there are stairs there I will stop and go around them but also sort of trying to work around the corners as well all right so let's recap what you're going to get in the Box you're going to get one I robot scuba 230 you're going to get one rechargeable battery pack this is the rechargeable battery pack you are going to get one storage map which was guessing this thing that I didn't know what it was storage Matt you are going to get to virtual walls which each requires two D batteries not included then with these guys you're going to get packets of scuba hard floor cleaner that was this you're going to get three extra removable bottom pipes which is this stuff those little bristles that are showing yet on the bottom of the scoob's right there you can replace those kind of handy you're also going to get which I can't show you the one-year manufacturer's limited warranty so I will go ahead and put the scuba through the tests see how it does show you how its fruits out my cat and how to probably freak out your dog maybe we can even get a fun video of this guy doing it's scuba thing I'll show you guys what it can do what can't do and all that scuba business leave your comments down below anything that you want to see i'm jon rettinger from TechnoBuffalo and i hate cleaning you
