how many square feet does roomba clean in one session
1952740
I have a 1200 SQ foot home and in the beginning I would run the Roomba throughout the entire house - now I confine it to specific rooms just to be more thorough. I find that in a specific room, once the Roomba is done, it will attempt to dock. I usually dock it for a moment and then put it in the next room - rinse and repeat. I feel this is best so I don't have to put away lose items throughout the entire house, but just specific rooms that I want done.

I'm not sure of the Sq footage however I have a 2/2 condo with carpet it cleans the whole thing. .... Unless of course it locks itself into a room by closing the door.

I have three of them placed throughout my home which is approximately 3 thousand sqft. The largest room that I use one of the units is 800sqft. and have no problem with purification of the air. The other two rooms are 500sqft. & 350sqft. I have two Cocker Spaniels with long hair and the purifiers work fabulously.

It can't do much when its "bigger" objects. It's pretty much just a moving box with a wet tower tucked under its belly. Its a floor mop after all. If it is your first robotic cleaning device that you are looking for, I highly recommend buying a Roomba first, its a vacuum cleaner, can get 95% of the dirt sucked up. Another note: My mint just broke down after 3 months. Currently in the process of sending it back for repair/replacement. Let me tell you the process isn't super smooth so far.

The description of the lamp says one 5x5x6 lamp cleans the air in a 90 square foot room. Most rooms are larger. So, does every one use this rule? Do you have 2 in a 12 x 14 room? Just wondering? This would make a huge difference in reducing odors.

My home is small, about 1400 sf., all tile and wood floors. I have no trouble vacuuming the whole house in one charge. I have a lot of "dust bunnies" (dogs) and the brushes are easy to clean.

I have had my Scooba for about 5 days now. Have ran it 3 times. Love it! My home is about 5000 square feet and the first level is almost all laminate, so roughly 2000 square feet. I find that it really does get about 95 percent of the floor cleaned and I have ALOT of angles and things for it to bounce off of. If you run it every day or every other day, it will eventually get all spots. I do go through 2 tanks before the battery dies though. I love the fact that Scooba is cleaning while I work. If you have bar stools, there is another way. With my Roomba, I use my 9 bar stools as a virtual wall. Space them just far enough apart so that the Scooba cannot fit through and it will stay in the section you want it to be in. I say buy it, you will not be disappointed. Just make sure you get the 5900 model as it has twice the battery life of the 5800.

I wash them after one use. I do the floors daily and one pad can cover the whole wood floor area. About 1500 square feet.

In the past I used both a Roomba and a Scooba in my tiled family room and kitchen. But running roomba most days reduces the need to mop. I find that using a microfiber mop after roomba is no more work than maintaining the scooba. Roomba and microfiber mops and dusters are a great combination. Microfibers weakness as a floor cleaning system is handling larger debris. Otherwise microfiber is very fast and easy.

Manufacturer specs say 500 sq ft. We use it in a space that is actually two rooms open to each other, a little under 400 sq ft. It seems to do a good job.

Probably not in one sitting. The literature says it holds a charge for 3 hours. It took about 25 minutes to sweep my 14 x 17 living room (about 238 sq ft). It went under furniture, behind stuff and did a great job. You need to set parameters for the machine to operate in, so that might cause some limitations. If set up properly, it could probably do half the house in one sitting.

I use for my entire 2nd floor of our house. Which is about 900 sq ft. 9 ft ceilings. I could probably use two for each floor but 1 does pretty well. I bought these for healing purposes as well as room deodorizes. I got sick of wasting money on glade plugins. Plus those chemicals freak me out. These work really well. Love 'em.

I just cleaned my wood floor - about 450 sq. ft. The machine was set at 50% steam power. It took about 30 to 45 minutes to clean and the tank was still half full.

It uses two pads at a time, each measuring 4.75 inches x 11 inches wide. There is a gap in the middle to allow for using the motion setting. I do my kitchen floor (about 175 sq feet) in about 20 minutes. You will probably need to stop and refill the water tank at least once. Also depends on how dirty the floor is. You're not supposed to put any cleaning agents in the tank (destroys the gaskets) so I use a spray bottle to pre-wet a section, then steam it. Hope this helps.

No dock, just a charger you plug into the side of it. The iRobot mop is different in that it cleans in the same way a swiffer would. The scooba works by first vacuuming, then spraying cleaning water onto the floor, then scrubbing, then squeegy vacuuming the dirty water up. The scooba covers about 400-500 square feet in a single run whereas the mop covers roughly 250 square feet in a run. I would compare some YouTube videos of the two to get an idea of how they work differently. I personally feel the scooba technology is better for scrubbing.

I heard they are in the process of creating the Poopa, the Roomba's sidekick that cleans up this sort of mess before the Roomba vacuums. Apparently the Roomba already contains the technology needed to communicate with the Poopa and once it detects an unusual substance it stops and calls the Poopa. The Poopa comes in and cleans the mess. But, it gets better. The Roomba immediately leaves that area and goes to another room giving the Poopa time to do its thing. The Poopa then sends a code to the Roomba for the type of mess it encountered and the amount of clean up required. The Roomba then avoids that area until the Poopa gives it the signal that it is clean. The Poopa returns to the area several times to make sure the clean up is complete and the coast is clear for the Roomba to do its thing. Brilliant!
