My initial goal is certainly filled my house is constantly clean with a daily pass. the surface he deals is approximately 60m² big rdc.pas for my good, so more crowded than a house of 100m², which is testing the app's neato.
only here, everywhere means that this is a rolls, the laser guide is perfect ... well no it's not, and this robot has other flaws I'll explain it big after months experience with him.
firstly autonomy! he works with me an hour, and if we do not take some precautions I'll mention just after he finished his work has to start 3 hours after stopping ... it's a shame with such a small area!
by cons just do one thing for him to have time to finish all my 6 chairs put on the table before it happens. the presence of many feet where it is masterfully pet pass screw up the software of the robot, which in its grid logic does not know "forget" an inaccessible area but will retry every line change in its grid. it made him lose a lot of time and sometimes it ended up losing the ball and stop it is not known why, in the middle of the room, without saying anything, without returning to its base, and until the battery empty ... unless it remains on power few seconds to see a screen telling him to resume cleaning or return to base!
Moreover, I accumulate, I have matt black furniture, it aaaaah not like the dark! he bumps into it, trying to push the chairs because obviously it reflects the laser not enough. So bad point. And it's the same with my feet KEF speaker (although fortunately stable!) So I imagine my old speakers. they would have fallen in a while ....
another trap: the bars where there casters on my office chair. them star and black paint because it comes between two bars, and round in circles without leaving! and finally asked the chair that emerges ...
Expedit shelf floor with just a small cabinet beside which plays my daughter, just between the two instead of the robot. there comes in, and wanting out, he turns, jams, climbs on tegere both rear wheels lifted and well .... gets stuck!
in the bathroom, a bathrobe mats, bad luck he rolls over and slid ... hop off.
textile lying around? it sucks the jams in her brush, and do not try to turn it upside down to the turn. same with a thread. Direct blocked.
noise issue, yes it is really important. not unbearable, but follow a side issue to force them to turn the volume loud enough! but next to it, as this is the brush plastic slats, it does not foul despite the cat hair.
and side tank capacity, I vacuum every other day which is correct.
in the end, it's still an effective robot, and that's the main thing. That's mostly what I ask. by against the location of technique, and the guide algorithm (although it is the latest version of the app) can be improved and therefore make it necessary to change certain organizations. I think we are at the beginning of an era where the vacuum will only improve with my mind later, when embedded processors will be more powerful detection with IR camera in 3D will solve all her problems. but for now, neato could improve things with the existing hardware.
the thing to remember also is that this vacuum, on a tiled surface, with a vinyl tile flooring, fully replaces a larger vacuum cleaner (which itself was also substituted by Dyson DC35 between two). In short a good buy, but not necessarily a perfect purchase.
