re: Looking for advice on a roomba vac please

yeah whats the difference?

I just got the Neato Pet & Allergy from Costco this last weekend for $270. It's done a pretty good job of picking up all the kiddo crumbs and pet hair. My only question is that it doesn't seem to love my open downstairs floor plan. It takes 2-3 recharges to complete the area but I think a lot of that is the unit's stubborness with our kitchen chairs legs. It inches back & forth over & over again until it weaves the way through.

It's exhausting to watch it work while I sip my cocktail & eat Bon Bons.

What type of flooring? I have brick pavers and hardwood throughout my home and the brick may be troublesome

I got a Neato from Hammacher Schlemmer several years ago. It broke several years later. When I sent it back to be repaired, they said they don't service it anymore, so they sent me a check for the original price. I used that to buy the Roomba. The Neato used to have service issues. I don't know if the newer versions are better.
