Automatons That Clean

I’ve owned multiple Roombas (lost my Woot cherry to one) and moved on to Neato last year.

Neato Maintenance* (based on one year of usage)*

1) As needed
a) Empty/clean bin & filter

2) Every 6 months
a) Replace filter

Neato wants you to replace the blades every 6 months, at a cost of $15. So a year worth of maint is ~$45 (the cost of a a push vacuum!)

Although I agree Neato is better then irobot. But the maint cost is why I can’t recommend this.

And why on earth would a pet brush cost $50! My god, it’s a brush!

I had a Roomba 400 series with all the extras (IR units.remote timers etc. It was lousy at cleaning, got stuck on rug edges, ate batteries like cheeto’s. could not find the charge dock if it was in front of it.
I bought a Bissel Upright and will never by another of these “Toys”.
