the neato looks like a piece of junk but...
i know the roomba has its pro's. my grandparents have the scheduler (discovery style but blue) and the new 562 and the work great as a daily sweeper. It just cleans up the surface dirt while they are at work, and then their cleaner comes once a week and does the actual vacuuming with a sanitaire. and the 562 has a system so that it doesnt get stuck on fringe, and it actually works. they have demo videos on the irobot website. oh and my family has the irobot verro (pool vac robot) and it works well too. i wonder how good the new scooba is?
