I was initially a little concerned about it being refurbished, but upon running it you would never know, it looks and runs like new and was refurbished by the Neato company themselves. I had been deciding between this one and a much more expensive competitor, and I'm happy I went with this one. I was very pleasantly surprised with this robot.
Pros: Easy to operate, quiet, cleans room logically in sections, comes with 90 day neato refurbished item warranty. Hopefully this one will last a bit longer the a few months. I wonder if others who bought the refurbished XL have had similar issues. I also purchased the another extended warranty. I went ahead and purchased another refurbished Neato XL at a cost more then what I paid before. The gift card can only be used on Newegg. Luckily I bought the extended warranty offered by Newegg.Īfter sending the defective Neato via pre-paid UPS to Service Express I was sent a gift card for the amount paid for the Neato, not a replacement as advertised. The manufacturer suggested i send it to an authorized repaired facility. Both times random errors with the laser progressively. The second one died three months after receiving it. The first one died within the 90 day warranty period and was promptly replaced by the manufacturer. Overall Review: This is my third Neato XL in 5 months. Batteries do not last long, Run time between charging is about 30 minus, enough for maybe two small rooms or one large room. Pros: Works on all floor types, easy to program, does a good job cleaning.Ĭons: Not dependable-may stop in it tracks for a verity of reasons. Overall I think this is an awesome robotic vacuum, and when its time for a new one I will go right back to Neato. It ability to detect other rooms means it get everywhere it can, it actually managed to get around the magnetic tape barrier and ended up vacuuming our dining room and kitchen, which was a welcome surprise. In addition, because it follows a logical pattern to clean the floor it gets everywhere before its done. The built in scheduling feature is great, means it actually gets to vacuum regularly. Overall Review: I owned a Roomba for several years and this thing beats it in every case. It is very aggressive, it will push boxes around(to a point) and straight up run up over stuff(its kinda cool actually), but if you have fragile items on fragile stands, this could bump them. Not so great at edges, but its cleaning pattern more than makes up for that. But with the scheduling feature that's not a problem, and its not an annoying loud either, so having it run in another room is not too bad.

Scheduling feature is awesome, it has forced us to keep the floor clean. The "pet" brush is very good at continuing to work even when all tangled with hair.
