iRobot Floor Cleaning Bundle $599

in

Its in today's deal of the day.  The vacuum I can vouch for as being pretty good, but I would prefer the Neato XV Signature Pro Pet & Allergy Robot Vacuum Cleaner and instead of the iRobot Braava, I'd prefer the iRobot Scooba 450 Floor Scrubbing Robot - both do a better job.  The scooba however is much more hands on and requires cleaning at the end of every cycle, whereas the iRobot Braava 380t Floor Mopping Robot can be used with Swiffer.

Neato XV-21 Pet Edition on Woot - $299

in , ,

Woot as the Neato XV-21 Pet edition.  This is a more robust (for pet hair and dander) version of Neato's robot vacuum.

It's regularly $429 at Best Buy here:  Neato Robotics - XV-21 Pet & Allergy Robotic Vacuum Cleaner - Light Gray/Purple.  And yes, it only comes in this one color almost certainly copying the Animal Series by Dyson.

 

Reviews on the Neato XV-21 are decent and you can see it being sold on Amazon for $377.  This makes this a pretty good deal today only.

Many people will invariabl ask how this compares with the Roomba.  This one will cover all areas better than Roomba will, and it has a stronger suction.  However it is louder, and makes only one sweep across the room, and also does not handle baseboards and corners well, so expect dirty corners.

Given the price today of the Neato XV-21 from woot, I'd pick this one over any Roomba available at the same price right now.
