I'm going to do an every other day schedule first to see how that works. The bin has been full both runs so far so regular cleaning is in order

Can someone answer this: is the Neato everyone ordering from Walmart the "clearance" sale one? It lists it as "unsealed box"... does this mean a store return?

I do too, and the Roomba handles it fine. It will roll over anything that isn't in the direct perpendicular line of sight of the sensor.

Should I run Wall-E daily?

I can't tell if he's a Strasburg and will need to be brought along slowly or a Russell Wilson and go balls to the wall from day 1.


I'm running mine every 3 days, but my house is small and I live alone with one pet.

Got Vic up and running. Think she had trouble figuring our the layout of our townhouse. She did clean our bedroom, dining room, and kitchen before going recharge. Had a full bin of hair and dust, including 2 gum wrappers and a full piece of gum

Working on where to put her charger now.

Put that son of a bitch in the middle of the floor. You gotta show these things off when you have visitors.

The Neato can do about 3/4 to an inch, though that's really pushing it. Above that it gets sketchy and might get stuck or just flat give up after approaching from several angles.

I just got another to handle both sides of my threshold that cuts the house in two. Skynet begins here. I'm sorry.

The names? Neatone and Neatwo. They're set to go off two hours apart to avoid any sibling interference.

like others, I do wonder what Neato Robotics is thinking when they have a huge surge in purchases going to Louisiana. The whole company is 25 people and we're just ordering like drunken housewives watching QVC.

Mine has run at 11 am daily for 2 years now. The new recruit will run at 2 daily just to avoid any interference.

I get leaves and such that travel on shoes and clothes. Neatone and Neatwo handle that shite posthaste once they go into action.

They need partners to work in packs! 4 hours of floor cleaning awesomeness takes place every day. Twice a month, I sweep the stuff at the edges back into the path of the voracious beasts, and that's all the work I do.

I love robots that can make mundane tasks interesting and fun that also fit into my desire to be lazy.

Because they are our robot servants. They are supposed to have names.
