--Design--
We stay on the black plastic, not cheap at all, with a much larger base than iRobot.
It has a complete LCD which makes it easy to configure the robot and the planned tasks.
He quickly recharge in qqs hours is 100%.
--Nettoyage--
What attracted me to Neato is the fact that the robot does not go randomly when it cleans but mapping the documents to pass only once each time:
Of the Roomba, the robot comes and goes, and to clean my poor 39M² apartment needed almost 1 hour. With the Neato Signature 30 minutes is enough because he knows exactly where he is going.
It cleans really well, even without side brush, it goes well along the walls and saw that his face is flat, it goes to the opposite wall without a problem.
--Bruit--
The only problem: it is extremely noisy on hard ground: the turbine is already very noisy, but the hard floor brush rubs the soil every pass and made a jackhammer noise. So much so that I wondered if my neighbors were not going to complain (not the case for the moment).
But really, if you thought that a regular vacuum was loud, try the Neato on hard ground, you will understand: Unable to get the when we are present. (However, cleaning is really excellent and> to iRobot)
By the carpet brush, it cleans slightly less but the jackhammer noise disappears.
--Entretien--
Easy maintenance, emptying the tank has dust once a week, no cleaning brush to do for version "hard ground" even with a woman who loses hair bcp (the horror on the iRobot)
!! Small tips for filter dust: To avoid having to change it, put 2 toilet paper on it, and throw them each week. Your wallet will thank me;)
--Conclusion--
I am very happy with my new Neato and for me it is clearly themselves the new leaders of robot vacuums!
I strongly recommend this purchase !!
