Neato xv14 vs Roomba

Higgins13 · October 29, 2012, 09:32:25 AM

Considering buying one as a gift. Anyone have any experience with these things?

I've read reviews but im looking for your thoughts

I'm leaning towards the Neato

I'm interested as well.

Cats can drive a Roomba. I don't know about the other one.

Just bought the Neato. It went on sale at Costco ($60 off). I should receive this in 2 weeks. $320 after taxes and shipped to my door.

Have always wondered how they do when switching floor surfaces. Do you have multiple surfaces? (carpet, rugs, linoleum, hardwood, etc..)

Lived with a Roomba for about a year. Thing didn't clean worth a damn because it frequently missed areas of the floor. It's just a noisy POS vacuum with a penchant for crashing into everything.

K: You need a cat to drive your roomba.

Can a cat pilot a Neato?

Screw that, buy a Dyson then go by Lowe's and pick up a "helper" to pilot the damned thing around. It would probably still be cheaper. We had a Roomba that was good for a conversation piece, unfortunately the conversation went " yeah, it really doesn't work".

i use a kirby. im lazy err i sit for many things. watching tv, eating, or sleeping. but cleaning my floors, i do it myself. besides i dont think either one of those units has enough range to go from one end of home to the other.

If it runs out of juice before finishing your mansion I hose back to charging base automatically and will resume where it left off after charge

For those still interested we have used this product for about a month now. It works better then I ever expected. The amount of crud this thing picks up is huge!

jestercinti · January 22, 2013, 12:05:28 PM

Works great. Has a brush driven by a belt. In the 4 years that I have had it, I have replaced 2 filters and 1 belt.
