Neato XV-11 - The Overview
The Neato XV-11 Vacuum Cleaner is an automatic vacuum that can vacuum your entire floor without you having to stand over it and push it. Because of its square shape, it can get deep into the corners where other cleaners might miss. It can vacuum on all types of floors – hardwood, tile, laminate, tile, stones, rugs and carpets. This is a tool that comes in really handy when you’re at home or when you’re away because it does scheduled cleanings automatically so you don’t even need to be there! Let’s take a closer look at it.
Top Five Technical Features of the Neato XV-11 Vacuum Cleaner
1. Room Positioning System (RPS)
The Room Positioning System is the propriety technology that makes Neato XV-11 one of the best automatic vacuum cleaners you will find. It can see 360 degrees and map out a course that avoids the walls and furniture. You can move the furniture and it will map out another course and still find its way around. Then when it’s done vacuum cleaning, it will return back to its charging base so it can be ready to use again. It moves easily from room to room and from surface to surface. It can clean carpet then move onto a wood floor and clean it.
2. Powerful system
The Neato XV-11 is a powerful small system that picks up a lot of dirt when cleaning. It is able to get dirt, dust and pet hair out of the carpet or floor. This is a huge plus especially when compared to other robotic cleaners that don’t even work on carpet.
3. Cleaning Scheduler
Want your Neato to run everyday? Then just schedule to run at the same time everyday and it will run throughout the whole house or wherever the doors are open. If you want it to clean just a certain room, Neato does come with strips that you can lay down on the floor to “prevent” it from moving onto the next room. Customers say that these strips are ugly black magnetic strips though but if you can set something to clean your house for you automatically, a little ugliness might not be a problem!
4. Rubber Brush
The Neato XV-11 Vacuum Cleaner comes with a rubber brush versus one with bristles like the Roomba. Customers prefer the rubber brush as pet hair and other items are harder to get out of the bristle brushes. They say they spent hours cleaning the hair out of the bristle brushes and the rubber brushes are much easier to clean and get the hair out of.
5. Simplicity
There’s not a lot of buttons on the Neato XV-11 Cleaner so it’s simple to use. Push one button to turn it on and one button to start it running throughout the house. It always returns to its charging base when it’s done or it needs to charge before finishing the job. It will finish charging and go back out to finish what it started. What is easier than that?
Comparison of Products
As mentioned previously, customers prefer the rubber brush on the Neato compared to the bristled brush of the Roomba. The Roomba tends to bumb into things to move around the room as that’s the way it navigates. The Neato has the RPS system so it’s not bumping into things and can move around the furniture. The Roomba also doesn’t always know where it’s going and will wander around the room cleaning in a non-specific pattern while the Neato goes in a very specific pattern in straight lines throughout the room. It is also said to be quicker than the Roomba which is nice since it only takes 11 minutes to clean a 16x12 room.
Customer Reviews of the Neato XV-11 Floor Cleaner
Customers had a lot of good things to say about the Neato XV-11 Vacuum Cleaner and how well it has cleaned for them. They love that it can clean the whole house on a regular schedule without having to start it themselves. Also, it can clean the whole house because it can move easily from one floor surface to another without problems. It doesn’t go on stairs so if you live on several stories, you will have to move it to get the other stories. They also liked the rubber brush on the Neato as it is easier to clean and to get the pet hair out of it. The dust bin is easier to empty also which makes cleaning it quick and simple. The Neato also returns to its base when it needs charging or when it’s done cleaning, so it doesn’t stop somewhere in the middle of a room and just die. It’s very convenient.
Pros/Cons of the Floor Cleaner
There are many pros to purchasing the Neato XV-11 Floor Cleaner, many of them mentioned above in the customer review section. The cons are much shorter and include:
- The stop strips are an eye-sore
- If you don’t turn it off and back on, it will follow the same map each cleaning session. This is okay unless you move furniture around.
- Little noisier than the Roomba
- Doesn’t mop the floor like the Evolution Robotics Floor Cleaner
Summary
The Neato XV-11 Vacuum Cleaner is one of the best floor cleaners out there as it can actually vacuum carpet and also cleans the smooth surfaces too. It has propriety technology that can “see” the entire room and maps out a floor plan so it can move around the room and not bump against the walls or furniture. It is small enough to go under raised furniture and quick enough to clean large rooms in 10 minutes. The Neato XV-11 can clean the entire house and when it needs charging, it will go back to its charging base. It will also go back to its charging base when it is done with its cleaning. Another great thing about this Robotic Vacuum Cleaner is that it can clean on a regular schedule. It’s easy to set and if you want you can schedule to clean your house every day! The Neato XV-11 Vacuum Cleaner is worth the money to have a tool that vacuums and sweeps your floors.
Neato XV-11 Testimonials
From: Ryan M.
I love this robotic vacuum cleaner. I thoroughly cleans a large amount of dust and pet hair from our floor. I had a Roomba before, but it got broken, and I decided to opt for a new brand. I had no problems with my Neato XV-11. It can detect doorways and can move around in a logical manner. I could not be happier with my vacuum!
From: Zimmerman J.
In general, this is the best purchase I have made for cleaning the house. I have two dogs who shed a lot of hair, and I had not run my vacuum cleaner before I purchased this one. This vacuum cleaner does the job well on cleaning hair and hardwood floors, and not blowing it all around the house like other vacuum cleaners do.
From: Dennis D.
I am very pleased with this vacuum cleaner. This saves me much time, and it is very easy to maintain compared to other robotic vacuum cleaners. All I need to do is to clean the dust bin. Powerful suction. My carpets are now clean. I would surely recommend this to my friends.
