Re: Robot Vacuum cleaners?
Yep, I love mine. I looked at several and did a lot of checking on Whirlpool etc. I got a Neato VX 21. I've got friends with a Roomba and others with the LG but this thing beats them hands down for suction power. The cheap robots are glorified brooms - avoid them at all costs. It's laser guided and I find myself following him (it's a he ) around the room. The only knock on the Neato is the lack of a side brush and getting the dust along the edges but the new model has fixed that. Battery life is less than the Roomba but it recharges itself 3 times before it stops so that covers a lot of ground. Initially it only went for 20 minutes before needing a charge but it's double that now. The new model has a longer life but as i said, it's no big deal as it will spend a couple of hours cleaning, then go back to base, which is plenty. We just move it to the other end of the house the next day and set it off again. Couldn't recommend it highly enough. Mine was on special at DJ's for $679. I've seen the new models at around $800 but they are worth it. We haven't had the vacuum out since !
Re: Robot Vacuum cleaners?
I've got a robot vacuum cleaner, It's a she, took er down the ile years ago.
Cleans every nook and cranny. Only problem is the batteries never give up. Keeps making a sound like Nag nag nag as she works and runs off champagne not electricity so is exy to run.
I tried to take it back for a refund but way past warranty and the trade in for a new model would cost as much as a house

If trees screamed when we cut them down, We wouldn't. If they screamed all the time we would.

I had one of those too and it even sucked all my superannuation away. The problem was it had no off switch. new model is much better.

How does it go with corners? How does it manage to get in to them?Gumb wrote:Yep, I love mine. I looked at several and did a lot of checking on Whirlpool etc. I got a Neato VX 21.

Re: Robot Vacuum cleaners?
Not really, but the new model should be ok. It gets close and is a good shape with a straight front instead of the rounded shape of the Roombe etc. It gets around table legs and under the TV unit etc, places where it's hard to clean with a normal vac. I often run around the edges with a feather duster and that gets the edges and corners done. Then I set mr neato off and he does the rest.kendoll wrote: How does it go with corners?

Re: Robot Vacuum cleaners?
We have 2 dogs and I'd heard some of them didn't handle per hair all that well. I read up on them for ages, forum reviews, professional reviews, forum comments etc. in the end went with the Neato. Supposedly had the best vacuum pull and best pathing over objects like mat edges. Downsides were that it didn't have voice commands, and was louder than other brands. I figured louder meant more suction though!
We're really really happy with it, even though they're more expensive than some of the others
