Roomba vs Neato

[@Shopno]

Your analysis was excellent. I loved the way you tested everything, it was very scientific.

[@Shlooomth]

Thanks so much for that in depth analysis. I never would've had the patience to sit and watch a roomba for 40 minutes counting how many times it hit each square. And getting to see the neato do a whole room sped up was great.

[@davidfont2596]

I've been watching robot cleaning videos for two days, trying to decide which of these to buy. Your video is by far the most detailed. This is one of the first channels I've actually subscribed to in the past few days.

[@HowToLou]

+David Font - Thank you! All my videos (250) are listed by category ant HowToLou.com

[@mdmeyerpfa]

After watching many KZbin videos on the Roomba and Neato, yours is the best. I especially like the coverage analysis with the color coding of squares.

[@edalvut2846]

I have watched a million of the robot vac videos to try and make a decision and this was THE BEST!!! Thank you. You got to the point and then gave a VERDICT. That is all I needed :)

[@mcnojoke127]

wow, one of the best reviews i have ever seen. Not too long, but many tests and very thorough. I like the math and analytics too.

thank you for giving a detailed analysis. THIS is how reviews should be! subscribed

[@joelperalta3056]

you sir have just stopped me in my tracks from buying a robot vacume. Nice job buddy! Very thorough review. You saved me 800 hundred bucks and that deserves a like, subscribe and a comment.

[@MartinVaillancourt]

I watch a lot of reviews of different things and this review is exactly what all reviews should look like. Good job Sir!

[@rudolfaeschlimann6959]

This must be one of the best reviews I've ever seen, especially the recording in the end of the room from the top is very helpful. Thank you very much, I know now which vacuum I should buy :-)

[@alvarojunka]

This has been one of the best tutorials I've ever seen. Awesome work!

[@deemoshi]

Best product review I've ever seen. I went with the neato for my home and couldn't be happier. Thanks for your work.

[@Alex1552project]

Wow...you put together a very comprehensive comparison of both robots.....excellent! As an engineer, I really appreciate your thorough review!

i dont even know how i got here watching videos on robot vacuums but this review was one of the best reviews on any product. good job.

[@kim2848]

I have a Neato Botvac 80 and recently purchased a Roomba 880. I only used Neato in my kitchen, dining room, and laundry room/bathroom. The rest of the house, it had to work too hard and it was always getting stumped on something so I had to vacuum it with my regular vacuum. The Neato was like watching a 2 year old and I had to get up constantly. My roomba is so much better. When I first had it up and running, I put it in the most complicated room that Neato couldn't do. The room has two tables, a free standing bar, 4 bar stools, and 2 lazy boy chairs and an end table. It went through the room like a hot knife through butter and I love it MUCH more than my Neato which I will keep for about 1/3 of my house. I thought it cleaned better as well. I'll be a Roomba customer from now on.

[@gmccon1]

I'm a new owner of a basic Roomba 650. For the first week I ran it twice a day for an hour and 20 minutes each time and dumped the canister into a standard basic plastic bag from the grocery store. The Roomba filled the bag in that week. If you can imagine the dirt and dust in the bag, you'll appreciate how happy we are with the iRobot Roomba 650. Now we run it just once a day and it shows it's worth each time.

[@baixosilvio]

Verdade tenho o modelo 620 e básico mais cumpre bem o seu papel

Your video very helpful on deciding what robot vac to get. all my questions answered in one video.

[@monikab.6540]

Wow, thanks for putting in so much effort into this!

[@dougmcfarland]

Just the type of technical comparison I was looking for. Excellent. Thanks!

[@jeffmorse645]

Thank you Lou! This is exactly the kind of test I was looking for to help me decide.

[@SweetCheeksJokoli]

Thank you for this really good review! It's nice to have someone review a product objectively backed up with facts and measurements!!!

[@JohnLaFosse]

Your a good reviewer. Your the second you tube review I've witness that prefers the neato. I found your method more precise than others. Good work.

[@emkfo]

The best review I have seen across any and all products. Really well done! Thank you.

[@scarpe322]

Holy cow you put some serious effort into that. Thank you so much! Hubby and I have been going back and forth for several months now about Neato vs. Roomba, and whether or not we can even justify purchasing a robot vacuum in the first place.

[@bunberrier]

Very well done! Thanks for the information. This was the most useful comparison Ive seen yet. Metrics, not opinion. Excellent.

A fantastic review. This video may have saved a ton of money for me as I am looking for a gift for my mom's 60th Birthday. I know Neato is loud but hey, we need great performance from vacuum cleaners!

[@Winzur1]

Amazing work with the scientific analysis. I am now 100% assured what is the right choice!

[@teresatong6370]

This is so incredibly helpful. I always know that Roomba may be overcharging (paying for its heavy marketing effort, I guess), but this video just gave me the solid proof I need to buy a Neato.

[@sonnchris4871]

Great comparison!!! I just received a Neato for Christmas & I love it !!!! Does the best job ever & love how I can control it from my phone.

[@earthling1984]

Neato wins. I've had Roomba's for over 10 years. From the start I loved them. One thing I can say is they last a long time, they are easily upgrade-able, and they can be fixed fairly cheap and easy. I've had my Neato Botvac for about 3 year now. Works like new still. Way stronger, picks up more, takes less time, gets everywhere. Neato wins. Neato much lower cost as well than the newer 'mapping' Roombas. I haven't tested Roombas models over 800, so maybe their newer models are better (although much higher cost than Neato). Neato is the way to go in my opinion. Sad because I loved Roomba for over a decade and still do. But, gotta go with the best, especially when it's even lower cost!

[@rockl79]

I have an 880 and just bought a neato. Im tired of the roomba constantly missing spots and getting stuck in every little corner.

[@earthling1984]

@@rockl79 Robots with navigation are for sure best for multi room use robot vacuums! I still have my 15 year old Roomba Red (have only replaced the battery a few times). I use it in a single bedroom and it does great for that! I also have a Roomba 530 that's over 10 years old (again, nothing needed to be replaced but the battery) that I use in my furnished basement, which it navigates just fine (we have a kind of 'TV' room down there as well as laundry room and bathroom). But, for my main floor of my home with 3 bedrooms, kitchen, dining room, bathroom, living room, the Neato is the only one that will get everywhere, every time!

[@earthling1984]

@@rockl79 On another note, my Roomba's never get stuck. Wonder why yours is having issues with corners.

[@rockl79]

@@earthling1984 its because of the weird carpets in my house. They don't go all the way to the wall and it always gets stuck there or on the cat scratcher. I plan to keep using it downstairs, or buy an older broken neato and fix it.

[@youtxbebroadcast11ur]

based on this vid i bought the neato. the room was much less organised and has a lot of strange curves. first i thought a lot of spots were missing, but at the end he did the whole room. it's really quite impressive so far. thank you!

[@LokiDaFerret]

Excellent review dude. A small side note for anyone reading... I have a Romba 600 series which moves significantly slower then the 800 series shown in this video. Slower might mean it actually cleans better since the airflow is so low on a Romba. cheers.

[@spo5egy]

Thank you very much for the review, I almost ordered the Roomba but I think it has to be the neato now.

[@Executiveinvestments-]

+spo5egy I have both. Neato cleans MUCH better. It isnt even close. The Roomba has very weak suction. Get the Botvac 80.

[@elsato977]

yeah im doing research to buy one or the other and it seems the botvac is winning, id like to see one against pet hair.

[@Executiveinvestments-]

El Sato I have 3 dogs and the botvac 80 is made for pethair. It picks up all of it, very easily. I have a roomba and it is now back in its box. The Roomba dosent even compare.

[@lightning5273]

What is you resulting review?

[@spo5egy]

Lightning X Hi I went with neato and after four months continuous use I am so glad I did. The neato is on every day and it cleans downstairs with a Rottweiler and a cat lol they all get along great. I have quite a large house and it manages the job without battery running out and the house is so much cleaner as it vacuums at 7am every single day and sunday it vacuums on eco mode so much quieter. overall one of the best purchases I have ever made for my home and definitely recommended.

[@emilramberg796]

Nice test man! keep up the good work!

[@Ki-Lessons]

This is one of the best review videos I've seen on KZbin. - To the point, quick, no hyperbole - Compares two like things. - Smart simple tests. I already own the Neato, after doing my own research, but was reviewing these again because CostCo is selling Roomba 805 cheap. I would stick with Neato. I have lots of complaints about all Robot vacuums, but we are in the dark ages still.

[@Nessunego]

I've got a Roomba 772e for my apartment and a Neato Botvac D85 for my office. Both work very well. I preferred the random navigation of the Roomba for the dynamic and changing environment of my apartment (small daughter, toys, chairs left every day in different position) and the systematic laser navigation of the Neato for the more fixed environment of my office. I'm really impressed with both devices. They definitely make a great job in reducing mine... ;)

[@HowToLou]

+Nessunego - thank you for sharing your experience. By the way, the Neato scans the room every time you start it, like it is a brand-new room. So if toys are here today and gone tomorrow, it does not care. It looks around the room, maps out the obstacles, and vacuums around them.

[@davidgulbransen6801]

Very impressive how thorough you were. I would have been interested to also see how they performed with picking up dog hair, and how clogged the brushes of each became (and then how easy they are to clean off).

[@HowToLou]

+David Gulbransen - Good point. I forgot to cover that, but it is pretty much a non-issue on both vacs. We flip them over, every couple months, pop out the roller brush (5 seconds. No screws) and clean off the hair. One is no more or less clogged than the other. Roomba's roller takes about 10 seconds to pop back in. Neato's takes more like 20, because you have to get one end under a little belt. We have two long-haired cats and a long-haired teen. If you have more hair, you might clean the rollers a little more often. Thanks for the comment.
