Works great with very little problems setting up.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First off, we have approximately 2200 sq.ft. of floor space which includes 9 rooms and 2 hallways. The floors are wood, carpet and throw rugs. Along with that two cats which comes into effect for picking up hair. We've used the vacuum now for little over a month, vacuuming twice a week. Battery Life and cleaning time: The battery does need one additional charge before completing the whole home which seems to be around 1 to 1 1/2 hours to complete the charge. So including the charge time it takes about 3 hours to compete the entire home. Though it may take longer to vacuum you do have the time to be doing other activities in the home while the robot takes care of the vacuuming. Cleaning: All in all we were surprised at how well it picks up cat hair and other debris on both surfaces mentioned above and under counters. The vacuum dirt bin is small but seems to hold enough for the size of home it is being used in, only having to empty the dirt bin between charges. At this time we can't really determine if it does a deep clean on the rugs but there is no evidence that it isn't. There were pine needles from the Christmas tree on the rug and the vacuum had no problem picking them up, well I'd say it got 99% of them. On the wood floors there isn't any evidence of scratching and the vacuum is getting under the lips of the counters and along the kick boards well. Another nice ability is that the vacuum gets under the beds, which is hard with a regular vacuum, where there is a lot of dust that accumulates. App, instructions and programing: We have not used the app for manual control of the vacuum but hope to do that in the near future. The app has been easy to use plus with the larger screen on the Tablet makes it easy to set the robot up. Instructions are a little lacking. But was able to work through any questions we had. An example would be the magnetic strip that goes on the floor to prevent the vacuum from entering specific areas. How much do I need to place? I also wonder how well the magnetic strip will hold on carpeting which I haven't had to do. The downside of the initial programing is the screen on the machine is small which makes hard to read. So use the app whenever you can. We have programmed a schedule for cleaning, using the app, with no problem. The unit starts up right on schedule. General: The vacuum has only got stuck twice, once on an item that isn't usually on the floor and once under a TV stand, which it got under once before but must have gotten a big ego and didn't make it the second time. Noise level is comparable to a regular large vacuum though may be a little louder when on a bare floor. I researched all brands of robotic vacuums on the internet and decided on this one for two reasons. 1) The square head seems to be logical for getting into corners better and 2) the app for manual control if you want or need to use it. Summary: I would recommend to a friend and have not found any real downside to the unit at least yet. Since it's only been a month of use I can't give it 5 stars. If it continues to operate at it's current level 5 stars would probably be reached. As for the cats, they seem to tolerate the unit better then the regular vacuum. They seem more interested in watching it then running away from it.

Good value
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my first “robot vacuum”. It has done very well so far. It does get hung up at times, it helps to have the area picked up ahead of time. My first problem with it, the button sensor for the dust bin needed to be pressed a few times. I really like it but there was a small learning curve that everyone has to deal with in getting an appliance that is new to them. One thing I wish they would improve: if it gets stuck, you have place it back down very close to where you picked it up or it will get lost. We named ours Rosie (Jetsons reference) and she can do all the common areas in one charge.

Neato Robot Cleans amazing
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First off - it is much better than the older models of Roomba that just bounce around. It takes a map of your house the first time, and follows it each time. It sends you a map daily showing how many sq feet it vacuumed and where in the house. It is pretty systimatic - it does the outside edge first, then "mows the lawn" so to speak for the center. So it covers every inch! The only downside so far is after 1 month the brush broke which costs $40 to replace or I would have given it max stars. I hope this is not a repeat occurance as this will drop the rating I gave significantly.

I'm About To Return Mine
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My unit arrived on 08/11/2017 (3 days ago). Since then I have used it for house cleaning (entire floor) and spot cleaning (under the bed, kitchen floor after meals). On the positive side: when the robot works it is a good vacuum cleaner. Turbo mode did well with dry food crumbs, standard household dust/dirt and human hair on both tile and carpet. The combo brush is better for carpet and the spiral blade brush is good for tile. Also the D shape is pretty good at getting close to the edges. Overall it's not as good as a Dyson upright (I have one of those as well), but I highly doubt any robot is. The negative (see attached photos also): 1) The robot refuses to start a job if the battery level is less than 50%. That is a total waste of 1/2 a battery charge! If a job is already in progress, it will go until about 5% and then look for the charging base but if you're moving the robot between rooms or floors and it happens to be less than 50% then you're out of luck and have to charge it up before continuing. Waste of time! 2) If your 2.4GHz and 5GHz WiFi networks have different SSIDs and your mobile device is on 5GHz, then you won't be able to use the Manual Clean (remote control) mode. The Neato app is not smart enough to realize that you are in fact on the same network. The unit only works on 2.4GHz. 3) In the past 3 days since I received the robot, it has dropped off the WiFi network at least 4 times. And this is NOT an issue with my home WiFi router. I have plenty of other devices on 2.4GHz and 5GHz without dropping issues. The software on the unit is 2.2.0 (current as of today). This is one of those cases where a product looks better on paper than in practice.

Botvac Connected
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased the Neato Botvac to help clean since I have 4 dogs and 1 cat, and a very bad back. This little machine is lifechanging. I no longer have to ask my family for help vacuuming every day, this little botvac goes everywhere, even under our beds and furniture. I loved it so much I purchased one for my parents house too. If you're considering a botvac, the Neato brand is by far the best on the market. Additional bonus for this botvac, I can use my smart phone and guide it manually or I just tell Alexa to have Neato, I named him Botty, clean my house, and off he goes. The dust bin holds a lot of debris and he tells you when it's full so no guessing. If you're considering a botvac, don't pass this one up! I have combination floors, wood, tile, and carpet. He cleans them all!!!

My personal maid
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought my first “vacuum” years ago (roomba) and was such a disappointment that I never tried again. Went to the store looking for alternatives and the tech guy talked to me about Neato although not sure I took the initiative and bought it. I was amazed and delighted! Such a big difference! Not sure if technology has advanced enough since the time I bought the first one or just the shape since is different does a better job! I will not go back to the old fashion way of cleaning! Love it! Pets don’t even bother with it!

Neato Robotics - Botvac Connected
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love this robot vacuum. It does a very good job of getting up the dog hair and dust on our hardwood floors. We have three dogs and they do shed quite a bit. We used to have to vacuum every couple of days to avoid being over taken by dog hair dust bunnies. Now we let this little guy vacuum everyday. It actually does a great job. Better than I anticipated. I was looking at other manufactures, but this one had good reviews and it was onsite so I thought I would give it a try. I am glad I did.

Robot Cleaner
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As long as cords and anything that can get tangled in the brushes are up, this is fantastic. I sit back while my little buddy does all the work. When he is tired he finds his way back to his base to recharge. Once he is recharged he gets right back to work. It is unbelievable how much dog hair it picks up! Love this little guy!
