Okay, we need to face facts: people are getting lazier by the day. If we can get robots to do our work, then you can expect we’ll be lounging the day away, while a well trained bucket of bolts handles all of our mundane chores. Well, we’re one step closer to that dream now, with the world’s first Robotic Floor Washer.

Called “the first consumer robot to replace the mop and bucket” by Popular Science magazine, the Scooba (invented by the experts who created the Roomba) is the automatic robot that efficiently and simultaneously prepares, washes, scrubs, and dries tile, linoleum, or sealed hardwood floors, without human intervention. Using a specially formulated bleach-free solution, Scooba methodically cleans a medium-sized kitchen floor in as little as 45 minutes, navigating independently and adjusting up to 67 times per second to maintain the most efficient pattern.

The Scooba does not play! This thing can really clean a floor, and it does it with no goofing around or complaining about low wages. How can you beat it?

The Scooba will cost you $299.95 but will make cleaning your floors seem like something fun for a change.
