Well, if you do not have carpet ...

Vacuuming made me really from nothing. Until our youth so slowly began to eat themselves and to become mobile. Since then we can actually permanently suck. At least once a day, it is then also urgently needed! Add to that a fireplace, which also neatly dirt produced in the winter (not only ashes, but gibts nen ash vacuum ...).
And what is even more precious than money? Right, time! And so I began to search the market for a robotic vacuum cleaner. Unfortunately, this also could not meet the expectations. Just like the LG HomBot 3.0 who failed in another field ...
Our House. 55 m2 below, 55 m2 above.
Top laminate and tiles, 2 2cm Hoche kurzflorteppiche. Also rocking chairs in the dining room (big problem ...)
Up just laminate.

Navigation: Super! Even better than the LG. At least mostly. The device moves out of the base and then begin to systematically suck the room. The base he finds afterwards again and again! Unfortunately it bites firmly (see obstacles) in some places and wants to be always exactly go that way. This means that much useless battery is consumed. Too bad, here you could just program that the point is sometimes approached from a different angle ...
Still 4-5 stars.

Suction / cleaning performance: Super! It never was what lie, and even as the LG was already through, the Neato has again gathered some more. Especially in the carpet! He is probably one of the few devices that also have an acceptable vacuum motor.
5 Stars

Obstacle height: For me, a separate point, because that's what matters!
Obstacles it detects only by encounters with his mind Bumper. It breaks anything, but it does not always look elegant ... Still good at first resolved. Steps base without problems here will be canceled and reset.
Unfortunately, the Neato has problems with our carpets on the ground floor. In some places it comes it great, at some not. Mostly it was the angle. The problem is that then he tries again and again in the same place at the same angle. Eventually he gave up and the message "not possible navigation". Too bad, here potential is wasted ...
Unfortunately, the Neato, as well as the LG, with our rocking chairs was not at all clear. The below its "radar", he drives it, back down, backwards, forwards, super annoying.
The enclosed magnetic tape worked not in our case. I have tried to delineate the rugs or chairs so. The Neato then moves once before and registers the lock. Then he tried to drive along side it, but goes so close that the moves the tape. Your only chance is The tape stick permanently, but how does that because of me ???
3 stars

Volume: Unpleasant. Like a real vacuum cleaner. But he also sucks as well.
2 stars, but not great for me to fall into the weight ...

Why did not I keep it? The carpet issue and the non-functioning magnetic tape were then too much of a good thing, because we want to make him necessarily run in the absence and that simply does not reliably work when he then stuck again and then waits for help when you come back.
Who only very low or no carpets and also has little furniture, but should access here. The suction navigation are really top. The only drawback is the backwoods NiMH battery ...
