ANYTHING Dyson = bwerk ton of $$$$!
While I can't speak for robot vacuums,I can ask why not purchase a quality canister vacuum and take on the house yourself? The Romba could never clean furniture, corners, ceilings, fans, cars! Plus a full-size vacuum is a far better deep-cleaner than any robot vacuum, rather you have carpets or bare floors, the Romba is going to leave behind dirt, hair, dust, and damaging grit! You have been warned!
Oh, and you're from the Department of Motor Vehicles? Your location says 'DMV'.... |

There's no comparison. Neato cleans better than all but the latest Roomba, and also cleans much faster. Neato has a laser scanner on the top of the unit (powered by a Linux computer), that spins and scans the room in real time as it cleans. It first outlines the room, and then vacuums the carpet in beautiful straight lines. Unlike most robotic cleaners, it has a suction motor and a pretty good brushroll, so it does a surprisingly good job. Does an awesome job on bare floors, and gets a surprising amount of dirt and fine dust every time it cleans. The base model Neatos (my XV-11 is pictured) have a noisier rubber blade brush that makes an ugly sound on hard floors, but there's a 'Pet' brush upgrade that fits the vac, and makes it clean better, and run much quieter. The only downfall of the machine is that the filter is small and requires frequent cleaning (I just vacuum them off with my Dyson cordless, but they're also washable).
The home needs to robo-proofed (the Neato will try to cover every inch of flooring it possibly can). Tucking away wires, picking up stray socks from under the bed, and laying down the magnet strips anywhere it may get stuck will likely be necessary, but then it can clean an entire floor of a home automatically. It takes breaks to charge, but remembers where it was, and picks up where it left off. It can be scheduled to clean when you're not home (I run mine twice a week while I'm at work), and it's always nice to come home to meticulously cleaned floors. It's way better than anything I thought was available today. Here's a picture of it cleaning my living room. You can see where it's been by the carpet lines!

The only way to find out which one is the best is to make them fight. |
