Didn't get a Roomba, I got a Neato XV-12 from Woot. The consensus on the woot message board was that this one has better suction, and that it's algorithm (it scopes out the room with a LASER and uses that as a map, rather than bouncing around randomly) is superior.

I put googly eyes on mine :3

Much better than a Roomba.

A review -

If my Neato were a maid, I would fire him (I haven't named him but I've decided he's a he, probably because I am being reverse-sexist) due to these CONS:


  • He misses spots near corners and along edges (walls or low furniture).


  • He can't handle getting everything under the dining room table (has trouble getting around all the chair legs)


  • He has trouble transitioning from wood to high pile carpet (extra cushy carpet in our daughter's room). He actually got stuck once and I had to give him a little nudge


  • He generally leaves a line of crumbs along the perimeter of our area rug, I guess from the change in elevation.


  • The apparent "automatic door detection" seems a bit buggy because he seems to be doing 2-3 rooms at the same time, even though the manual says that he's supposed to finish off one room before moving onto the next.
    This may be because some of our doorways are on the wide side. I don't know.


    However, my Neato is not a maid. My Neato is a slave who works for free. So, given that, he does a pretty okay job, given these PROS:
  • Suction seems strong - picked up a lot of loose fibers left behind by my vacuum


  • picks up hair off carpet better than my vacuum (we are part Italian and very hairy and we shed a lot so this is very important to us)


  • I haven't had him lose himself in the house yet
