* Floor Washing Robot vs Vacuum Cleaning Robot
The major difference is they are designed for tackling different cleaning tasks.
Roomba is a robotic vacuum cleaner whereas the Scooba is a small hard surface floor washing machine.
If you need a robotic vacuum to clean both hard floors and carpets/rugs, then the Roomba fits your needs;
if you want an automatic floor sweeper and mopping machine, than you should choose Scooba.
Or you might want to buy both of them, and run the Roomba first to vacuum floors, then get the Scooba to wash your floors.

* Scheduling Feature:
The roomba 780 includes on-board scheduling that allows users to preset cleaning time while the Scooba has none.
