Neato #3 is still doing a great job. In three days has cleaned my downstairs about 10 times and, except for getting stuck and running out of power once, did it flawlessly, I would say Neato #3 is an upgrade from Neato #2. It has the 2.6 software revision and has smoother docking and slightly improved speed and cleaning routes. Also, this Neato has a better suction than the last one. It did the entire first floor of my house in about 45 minutes this morning - the fastest time yet. I did not have to rescue it. And, it picked up a lot of dirt.
I went over to Fed Ex last night and sent off Neato #2. I did a last minute swap of the roller brush from Neato #2. These beater bars are aluminum cylinders with strips of what I think is surgical latex attached. The brush on Neato #3 already had tears in the latex. This roller system works well at collecting dirt but is fragile. Anything sharp can damage it. In my case, Neato #3 found a Christmas ornament hanger under the chair and that was all it took.
Will this Neato XV-11 be heaven or hell or just a piece of junk sitting in the closet. Answering the question - Will it vacuum or will it suck? This blog will chronicle 2012, my first year as a Neato XV-11 owner - how well it functions and how well the company supports it. . We will see, eh? ----“No one is free, even the birds are chained to the sky.” ― Bob Dylan
