Reluctant to use a non-methodical robot, I chose this model because of its ability to map a room and thus optimize its passage of time (and therefore the use of the battery). I am very pleased overall, though: - He broke down once during the term of the warranty (USA Neato has been slow to respond to my request for service, I finally treated with Amazon); - It does not really supports the mat and locks, quite (too) often remain stuck in it (so that if you have programmed the robot to work in his absence, he has not drawn the part during return to home).
