If you are considering buying a Scooba robotic floor cleaner from iRobot in the next few days, it may take a little longer than you expect for the product to be delivered.

All models of the Scooba are sold out on iRobot’s website. One of the company’s most popular models, the Scooba 350, has been out of stock for nearly two months.

“This is an inventory issue,” says Charles Vaida, a spokesperson for iRobot in a statement.”It doesn’t have to do with any changes in the manufacturing process or a restructuring of our Scooba line.”

Currently iRobot’s website, a major sales channel for the company, is offering a three to four weeks timeline for the Scoobas to ship. However, major online retailers such as Amazon.com and Bed, Bath &
Beyond have products available immediately.

The stock out on iRobot’s website is the result of unexpectedly high sales in the last few months, claims iRobot.

Till recently iRobot had been offering special prices for the Scooba on the Home Shopping Network. For instance, it made the Scooba 340 and the robotic vacuum Roomba 535 model available for $400 compared to the regular price of $650.

The HSN special sold out, says Vaida, and iRobot is working to replenish its stock of units.

The good news for potential buyers is that iRobot says it will be fully stocked for the holiday season
