iRobot Scooba 230 makes cleaning your bathroom a no-brainer

From the people that brought you the famous and awesome Roomba floor vacuum comes a tiny robot to help you clean those floors that need washing, not vacuuming. The iRobot Scooba 230 ($TBA) is the company’s smallest cleaning robot yet at only 6.5 inches in diameter, meaning it is ideal for cleaning around tight spaces like your bathroom’s sink and toilet. Because let’s face it, if this robot doesn’t do it, those areas might never get cleaned at all. Using a three-stage cleaning system and water management, the Scooba neutralizes up to 97% of common household bacteria. Like the Roomba, the Scooba intelligently navigates your space, avoiding stairs and staying in the rooms you want it to clean. Just one touch of a button and this little robot will be off doing your dirty work in no time.
