"  Without a doubt, cleaning the bare floors in your home is a dirty job. But now, with iRobot&amp;#039;s new Scooba 230 compact floor-washing robot ($300, right) it&amp;#039;s one chore you can cross off your list. Coming to market this spring, this little round robot is truly the smallest one I&amp;#039;ve seen. At only 6.5 inches in diameter and 3.5 inches high, it will slip into narrow spaces in bathrooms, between chair legs, and other nooks and crannies that larger robots have to skip. The Scooba 230 cleans with either a special solution available where the robot is sold or with plain water. From what I&amp;#039;ve seen so far, it looks like it&amp;#039;s easy to fill, empty, carry and store, and I love that the bottom brush and squeegee assembly is removable for easy cleaning. Like its iRobot siblings, the Scooba 230 senses and avoids stairs and comes with &amp;quot;virtual walls&amp;quot; to keep it out of areas you don&amp;#039;t want cleaned. We&amp;#039;re anxiously awaiting the opportunity to give it a full test in our Good Housekeeping Research Institute Home Appliances lab. And if you&amp;#039;re looking to replace some of the flooring in your home, check out our picks for the easiest flooring to install. All you&amp;#039;ll need is a utility knife!
