A great product, but after waiting 2 weeks for amazon to ship, I checked irobot.com. They sell a box of 9 bottles for $39.99 (=$4.44 each), shipping and handling is free, the item is in stock and they ship in 1-2 business days.

The cleaner is fine - but (at the time of this review) the single unit purchase price is much higher than if you purchased it from the iRobot site (where you can buy it in multi-unit packs). I'm sure this price reflects that you're purchasing cleaner from a specialty store (thus far I've seen it sold from The Sharper Image as well as a music store - not Amazon directly).

This product works well. The iScooba it is meant to work with is excellent. However, we've taken to using white vinegar in the iScooba because it is more cost effective, does as good a job, and does not void the iScooba warranty.

I have no problem with the product which I have used for years. My problem with this purchase is with the seller. I start all my online shopping at Amazon as I have never had a bad experience with anything purchased through Amazon.com. This was major exception. I spent $49.00 for this purchase assuming that it was for 6 bottles of solution as that is what I had previously paid for the product through other sources. Imagine my surprise when my order arrived and contained only one bottle! After looking for a second shipment, I rechecked my order and discovered that the seller had sent exactly what they had advertised. It was my mistake to assume that the price that had previously been charged for one case would now be charges for 1 bottle. I was so comfortable with my Amazon experience, I forgot to be very careful in my purchase. Won't make that mistake again. I was able to send the order back, but it cost me shipping and handling. I hope that Amazon will be more careful in who they choose as secondary sellers so that I can go back to trusting the Amazon experience at all times.

49.99 for a bottle of cleaning fluid is crazy. This originally retailed at 3.99 at roomba 1 year ago.
I SPRAY PINE SOL WITH WATER OUT OF A SPRAYER onto the floor AND let the roomba suck it up
MUCH CHEAPER!

From all the reviews, I thought I was getting a pack of cleaning bottles for $50. Nope. Just one.

It's effective, but there have to be cheaper options!

Have enjoyed my Scooba and have always used the vinegar option. Had a bottle of this product, so I finally used it since I had a new puppy coming to the house. The next time I used my scooba it wouldn't emit water. Tried all the online suggestions and nada. Online they refer to the pump valves as the source of the no water problem. I don't know what the valves are made of, but I find this to be a very strange coincidence. Now I have a scooba which runs but doesn't emit any water.

These people bought it at $8.00 a bottle and now they are selling it at $50. a bottle. It's a great product but not that great. Save your money.

This product from this vendor is way overpriced. For $50.00, I thought I was purchasing 6 bottles of the cleaner because I have purchased it from other sites at about that price. To my surprise only one bottle was shipped. Check IRobot directly and you will find it much more reasonably priced. $50.00 per bottle is ridiculous. I won't be buying anything from this site again.

Granted, I's my own fault, but they should make it clear the price is for one bottle.

I bought this product thinking that I was getting 9 bottles of solution. It doesn't say in the product description how many but in the first review it says that IRobot has 9 bottles for $39.99. Therefore I assumes that I would be getting 9 bottles. Imagine my surprise when just 1 bottle showed up.
