I have 3 pets and I have hair on the floor constantly. Was looking at an I robot to help with the issue.



If one of your pets EVER shits in the house you are fricked. A friend of mines dog shite in his place and then the roomba proceeded to smear it over his entire house, including his rugs and even carpet in the bedrooms. It's funny to think about but
It was pretty rough for him.

Does either of those have some method to keep them from falling down the stairs? The carpet in my house is upstairs.

I see bad reviews about the battery on the neato. They say they only last year and a half


That's because only pissed off people print online reviews. My batteries are about 2.5 years old with no problems.

The new BotVacs Series come in 4 varieties but I can not determine the differences


To the best of my knowledge, the differences are in things like the filters, the beater brush, etc. I believe the core robot/vacuum is identical between the models.

They pretty much all have sensors that detect cliffs and prevent themselves from running over the edge.

I have one and love it. Its worth it. The brushes will wear out but you can order the kits for them and they are easy to replace. I highly recommend one.

My husband bought one for me last weekend and on Sunday morning I sat on the couch and drank coffee while I watched the roomba clean my house and chase my cat around. Needless to say, it was awesome. I'd definitely recommend you read the big thread on here about neato vs. roomba though before you make a purchase. Sounds like they both have their pros and cons and where one lacks, the other excels. We have a long hair cat and a black lab and they both shed like crazy. The neato doesn't get up against the baseboards but the roomba does which is good for pet hair. The roomba cleans in a very erratic pattern unlike the neato but apparently the neato is louder than the roomba which I definitely wouldn't be able to deal with because I only run it while we're home and i wouldn't be able to deal with anything louder than the roomba. Long story short, you should definitely invest in one or the other. I can't imagine going back to pushing a vacuum
