I got this on a previous woot and I can say I love it. Much better than a Roomba which I also got on a previous Woot Off years ago. In actuality, the Neato vacuumed my floors today and my place was nice and clean when I got home. If I didn’t live in a one bedroom, I would get a second one for the upstairs if I had one.
For folks who haven’t owned a robotic vacuum, they are not a replacement for regular vacuuming. Robotic vacuums are more like robotic carpet sweeps. There is an appearance of clean on carpets and rugs because the mat gets combed. Most of the dirt gets shuffled down into the carpet and eventually needs to be vacuumed out.
And if that doesn’t bore you to tears, there’s always fish:

Haven’t heard a Roomba, but I have the Neato. It is pretty noisy, not quite as loud as a full vacuum, but still pretty loud.
I have it set to run when I’m at work, so noise isn’t an issue. It does a good job on my hardwood floors.
