Oh, stop bragging about your "big guns" wouldja?

kippyj wrote:Well, just buy the last one...you haven't bought anything before ;)

Haha, not getting this. And I used to just email my dad saying "Use your woot to buy this for me, I'll pay you when I see you"

He finally got sick of that, so I made my own!

Ok. My wife doesn't mind the comment at all. Even before the NEATO I never vacuumed...but wife has never done dishes in the 22 years we've been married. We split the household work (including cleaning bathrooms and doing laundry)!!

You know damned well that I'm MUCH older than you are!

Respect your elders!!!

This vacuum is made of awesome. I watch in amazement as it masterfully navigates beneath my bar stools without getting stuck.

Ah hell, I'm in for one. My two cats will love the company while we're at work...

Thirteen percent bought three?? What's that all about?

kippyj wrote:Yes, and I own one, too. Now, time to gang up on JPP for calling us "old."

Did you forget? I LIKE being ganged up on!! ;)

I also bought this off woot a couple weeks ago. I have never owned a roomba so I can't compare to that, but it seems to do a pretty good job (the room looks cleaner at least). It tends to miss small threads from torn up dog toys, and it also does not get into corners or along the wall very well (about the same as a normal stand up vacuum).
Keep in mind even if it missed something once, it will probably pick it up the next time it runs. My house is mostly carpet it it does a decent job on there.

One of the biggest problems i had was a coffee table in my living room is tall enough so that the body fits under, but the top portion of Neato where the laser spins gets caught on it. It repeatedly tries to drive under the table, and will eventually quit. Idk if the dark, shiny wood is not detectable by the laser in certain light or what, because sometimes it handles it fine. Fixed the problem easily with the included magnetic strips.

Best used as maintenance, not full clean up.

Dude, you're taking it way too seriously. I was a wife for a long time. My husband actually bought me a power drill for Christmas one year. Nobody ever takes me seriously on here b/c I'm always being either facetious, sarcastic, flirty, or all three.

I love mine! Works great!

If I didnt buy an upright a week ago at BestBuy I'd be tempted to get this with all the positive reviews. My woot cherry remains intact, yearning.

Hahahahaha!

In my defense, it's been a really long time since a w00t forum was fun!

Wow!! That makes it worth buying right there!

I'm ALWAYS getting stuck under my bar stools!

Saw this in action last night. It worked well. I was pretty impressed...still pondering whether to get one or now.

Great for the dropped goldfish and cookie snack clean ups from the kids.

You DO realize that w00t has five or six other sites, and at least three are having w00t-offs, right?

Don't know if the goldfish appreciate it

And what, praytell, are you doing under the stools in the first place?? Wait... don't answer that one.

Cheaper than marriage at twice the price.

Bought one a few weeks ago. We had been running our Roomba 530 almost daily, but wife's long hair meant cleaning brushes after just about every run. We even had a screwdriver in the kitchen just to remove the side brush to get the hair out from under it. While we liked the amount of dirt / dust Roomba picked up, our floorboards were beginning to show Roomba wear.

Neato is much easier on the walls, floorboards and furniture, no constant banging into stuff. It reliably cleans every room every time and picks up a good bit more dirt than Roomba. Best part is that the hair ends up in the bin, not wrapped around the brush, so there is very little maintenance.

If you have pets or long human hair, this is a huge improvement over the Roomba.

Wouldn't that be "cheaper than a divorce"?

shhhh... I was just saying that so kippy wouldn't get all jealous and stuff!

I bought one of these last time it was on sale on Woot. I LOVE IT!!!
I have two of the iRobot Roomba's. They work OK, but take a long time to clean since they wander around randomly. The Neato can clean my living room, dining room and hallway faster than the Roomba because it scans the area and then cleans it.

How does this thing react when the floor is covered with nickles?

kippyj wrote:You don't understand a wink from a cute girl? Sorry.

Haha, nope. Just another oblivious geek.

fmcwoot wrote:Thirteen percent bought three?? What's that all about?

I am tempted to buy at least two. One for each floor of my house. So maybe some people bought one for each floor of their 3 story house.

The sad truth is this thing is selling about as fast as it cleans.
