You can use a roll of magnetic strip that comes with the Neato to block it from locations but it is not always practical.
It also climbs up on various things like stands and other low objects on the ground and it may drag cables (phone chargers, power cables) with it. It will plow through some things in what seems like an attempt to move the objects out of its way. Unfortunately, the Neato is too aggressive. The laser sight should also prevent the Neato from bumping into things like a Roomba but that isn’t always the case. The raised sight has gotten some light scratches on it, evidence of going under things that are just a bit too low for it to fit under. It also keeps the Neato in the one room until it is cleaned if it perceives a doorway. It makes the Neato more time effective by going back and forth across a room rather than bouncing around and assuming every spot has been cleaned. The laser system is nice for a few features.
You can also choose other settings like a spot clean through the menu system. The LED display on the Neato takes all the guesswork out of its status where it can display specific error messages or the task it is currently working on. You can just tap the orange button once to wake it up and a second time to tell it to clean the house. Of course, you don’t have to use the scheduler.
It’s pretty decent for a fixed schedule but I think it would become tedious if you were updating Neato’s schedule every week to match your changing work schedule. The scheduler is easy enough to program you just set which days of the week you would like the Neato to run and what time for each day. The Neato, sporting a vacuum, is noisier than the Roomba – it sounds like a jet engine when starting up but you just typically don’t run the vacuum when you’re in the same room or even at home thanks to the scheduler. Its height is just short enought to clean under one of my couches but just too tall to fit under a different couch. The Neato has about the same dimensions of the Roomba with a noticeable difference of the Neato’s ‘D’-shape versus the round Roomba. Since my purchase, they have also released the Super Nintendo-looking Neato XV-21 for pet & allergy enhancements. There were also other features the Neato held over the Roomba like having the scheduler built-in and downloadable updates to improve the Neato. It uses a laser system, the little command center on top, that looks around a room and efficiently guides the Neato back and forth across a room. Secondly, the Neato is to be intelligent. Primarily, the Neato is a vacuum and not just a sweeper, allowing it to pick up more dust and dirt. It was described as having two key differences separating it from the Roomba. Shortly after getting the Roomba, I read about the Neato. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to repair it. I took it apart several times, tried clearing sensors, reseating components, and blowing out all the dust that a vacuum encounters. I had a Roomba for a while but it stopped working properly, now preferring to jitter around in circles than clean an entire room.
