   I bought that headlamp on a different sale site a few months back. When it showed up it was so poorly manufactured that it literally fell apart in my hand. The plastic housing is very thin and brittle, and the overall build quality renders it useless.

   Just wanted to share my experience so that no one else wastes their time and money.

   I almost plunked down my cash on a Scooba, but the bad reviews kept me away. Mopping is my least favorite thing to do. But that’s a pretty good price for a Scooba.

   I did buy a Scooba, and I wish I hadn’t. The darn thing stopped working after 4 or 5 uses.
