Purchased in May broken down in late July due to blocked fan. Warranty advise this is not good and will need replacement unit. But whilst operating Neato was great amazing how much dust gathers over one day. Time will tell how warranty goes regarding replacement unit and life of replacement unit.

Used the vacuum 2 - 3 times a week. Made sure nothing big was left on the ground. Changed filter every 4-6 weeks (these aren’t cheap!). Had it just under one year and it broke. After a lot of discussion with the company, which has to be through email, they finally sent a ‘new’ one. It’s been less than 6 months and this one is broken too. Have been told that I am no longer under warranty as it lasts one year since purchasing. It doesn’t matter that machine is only 6 months old. Not worth the $1200 spent! I would find a better company with better customer service that’s accessible in Australia!

I love it, navigates from room to room on its own, much more intelligent then my old Roomba, I would recommend the Neato Connected. I hate vacuuming, or any cleaing for that matter..lol, now I need one to wash my car and windows. You will not be disappointed with the Connected.

It broke once during warranty. Then it broke out of warranty (about a month out of the 12 month warranty). Of course we didn't get any support. Spent $400 to repair it because it kept saying the dirt bin wasn't in, when it was. Now a couple months later it is broken again. No fault message, it just won't go and it beeps. So broken 3 times and costs half it's purchase price to repair, but still doesn't work. Buy something that isn't a hunk of junk.

I thought it was going to be a lot better then what it is. Doesn’t clean the corners very well as the side brush is very small. Filter is cheap and needs replacing every few months. It’s pretty noisy too. Other then that it’s ok the coolest feature is it goes back to its base

Purchased a neato December 2016, Sept 2017 it stopped working. Went thru all the steps and neato ended up sending a new battery. Now it is no longer working again, but am told the battery only has a 6 month warranty. They sent me link where I can purchase a new battery.
What you pay for these and they don't support it, waste of money!!!

When the device works it is great. The issue for the machine I got it has only been operational 30 percent of the time. The device stops working and indicates power switch needs to be put into the down position. Support has worked me through several steps over and over. Sent multiple batteries and finally the device ran out of warranty and they (Neato support) stopped helping. They would not replace the machine they just delayed until the warranty expired.

The vacuum function is powerful and picks up dirt and pet hair very well. Unfortunately our robot has issues of getting stuck under furniture or not properly returning to its base to charge which means it is not ready to use when we need it.
It works well when it actually works but it is not intuitive enough to use in our absence. I would love to be able to set it to run while we are at work. The magnetic strips are ugly and annoying to have to put down each time you vacuum.
Would recommend either the newer Neato (with electronic boundaries) or the Roomba instead.

The vacuum is very easy to use. I'm quite lazy usually and this vacuum makes my house so much cleaner. It is able to vacuum while i'm not at home which i believe is one of its best function. it literally picks up everything and works very well so far.

This vacuum picks up everything. One perk of having a robot vacuum is that it makes me keep clutter off the floor . I haven’t used a regular vacuum in a year . I run it most days and am quite horrified at the volume of dust and garbage that we drop in a day .

I have had my Neato Connected for over a year, I'm writing a review just because I was searching to buy another for
my son and was checking pricing online, I had Roombas before and the Neato is so much better, the Roomba would bounce of the wall and leave marks everywhere, the Neato does not do that plus it has far stronger suction and larger bin and filter

February 27th 2018 Update: Better than Roomba

All of my prior vacuuming robots were Roombas. After reading reviews, I decided to try the Botvac Connected. It's a game changer. It's more effective at picking up dirt and hair, AND it doesn't damage my walls and furniture by repeatedly bumping into them. My skirting boards are all marked form the Roomba, no marks from the Neato

The first Botvac Connected I purchased lasted about 3 days, then just wouldn’t switch on. Harvey Norman replaces after sending back to check what the issue was. The second one lasted 5 months. Today I came home while it was in a cleaning cycle (and could smell burnt plastic) and it had mounted itself against a wall and the wheels kept spinning. The friction between the floor and the wheels had caused all the plastic on the wheels to deteriorate and melt onto my floor. Thankfully it didn’t catch fire.
Took it back to Harvey Norman and told them I’d like my my money back or an equivalent replacement from another brand. I know have an iRobot. Wouldn’t buy another neato.

The BOTVAC works!!....and cleans our 220sqm tile flooring and carpet area well. The suction could be better however does a good job. The navigation works very well and covers a lot of ground without running out of battery. It navigates the home in a logical manner however it tends to bump and crash into things making it somewhat clumsy in tight spaces. It collects a good amount of dust and particles and is easy to clean. Overall I recommend this product.

Works very well. We had a previous XV-11 which was good until it died after about 5 years. The map is useful in the new model because it allows us to check whether the entire house has indeed been covered acceptably. Suction power is more or less the same as previous. The side brush is a good addition, but we've had one episode where the brush was knocked off and was subsequently sucked up the main channel, destroying the side brush and the rotating main brush in the process. This was replaced under warranty by Neato.

We moved at the start of the year to a house that has online tiles. I started researching vacuums and was tossing up between this one and roomba. Went with this once as it's meant to handle animal hair.

It's made us get into a good routine, every morning we pick up everything off the floor and while at work it does it's thing. I love coming home to clear floors.

It has gotten itself stuck a few times but by using the magnetic strip we're able to keep it out of danger.

Also it does need a little more maintenance (mostly cleaning) than the average vacuum, but with the amount of time it saves me in vacuuming I'm happy to oblige. Wish I bought one years ago.

This is one of the best purchases I've ever made. It saves me SO much time. It does a very good job at navigating the home and cleaning up. My floors have never been so clean. I love at the end of the day I can turn the Neato on and put my feet up! Brilliant invention.
