In a nutshell why the Neato Signature Pro and NOT iRobot 880:
- Space scanning vs. Chaos Principle
-> The Neato detects through sensors the room and not drive him off randomly, but coordinated
-> Another advantage: NO Virtual Light Walls needed (costs 40 euros each), which is to be placed at iRobot in any room or door so the iRobot can suck the rooms one by one and not lose hope. In addition to the costs it just looks visually not look nice to have are these black boxes everywhere. The battery replacement every few weeks is also associated with annoying and time and cost
- Cost:
Neato Signature Pro: 420 Euro vs. 729 Euro iRobot 880 (as of 21.04.2014). Note the iRobot nor cost of Virtual Walls are added.
Suction power:
Neato Signature Pro, depending on the area at about the iRobot 880. In animal hair of Neato is clearly better, otherwise the iRobot to nuances (See. Perhaps the most telling test of cnet.com).
Those who want to save some money, I'll give the following advice:
Comparing times the prices on other Amazon sites ending in co.uk, .es, .fr and .it. Here are some significant price differences.
Furthermore, there is between the Neato Neato Signature Signature Pro and only two differences:
Better brush (costs 69 euro) and 1 additional Hepa filter (costs 15 euro). You can alternatively buy but also the brush directly in Vorwerk shop for 25 Euro + 4 Euro Shipping and 6 Hepa filter on Ebay for 13.9 (no original, replica).
