It does take a few passes to get the floors clean and shining -- but that's more to do with how little cleaning liquid is being used across the whole floor. When I was cleaning with vinegar before I got my Clorox, it appeared to be taking the shine <em>off</em>. The Clorox is definitely putting it on. I hope Scooba works well for you!

Just got a Scooba 5900 at a bargain price. It seems a little temperamental, but thus far it's worth it. All the same, I'm wondering if you got better results with the Chlorox cleaner? The cleaner was shipped with my Scooba, and so I've yet to use vinegar. The first time I cleaned with Scooba and the special cleaner, I wasn't very impressed with how clean my floors were. However, on the second and third pass, they did seem to shine a bit. I'm wondering if I'll be disappointed when my cleaning fluid runs out, and I switch to vinegar, or if your floors just don't get very shiny, and that accounts for your results. Hi!

It goes through a rubber fitting into the clean liquid supply tank and has no mechanical connection there. It doesn't appear to turn. It looks hollow. I think it pressurizes air into the tank to force clean water out, or bleeds air into the tank to <em>allow</em> the clean water out. And the blower filter actually kind of snaps into place, by pressing its tailing end down hard into the base. I think it wasn't snapped in that way when I got it, so I don't feel as silly for having missed that. :-) A couple of notes:
