I bought 2 at the same time in 2015. Neato replaced both of them during the warranty period. I didn't use them for about 1.5 years. I fully charged the batteries and put them away. Amazingly, the batteries recharged in 6/2018. As of 7/16/2018, they are working fine. Still can't replace regular uprig...

Botvac still going strong. Had to replace sealed bearing. Got from hobby shop online.

I am the original poster. I am using my Botvac rarely now because I am remodeling and there isn't a clear area to use it and I am afraid sheet rock dust could harm it. However, I have replaced the sealed bearings 3 times between the 2 Botvacs. Inspect it carefully when you clean it. The black was st...

Still going strong.

So far so good. 2 replacement units. Company was very prompt.

I did the review on 01/28/15. I had 2 Botvacs. I had problems with the dirt bin on one and set it in the garage for months because it wouldn't stop beeping and the combo-brush plastic had started to split. The second one started the same thing recently. I called Neato. Sent both of them back and I r...

I figured it out. My toilet paper pre-filter was sticking up and blocking the lidar field of vision.

I have dusted off the 2 sensors on the bottom and the 1 on the side. It will go for a minute and give me the same message. What should I do? Thanks

UPDATE BY ORIGINAL POSTER: I have 2 Neato Botvacs 65. I wrote this original review. One of them has a problem with the bin staying put and it has not been useable for several months (lasted 3 months whith almost daily use on 1200 sq ft). I have read that this is a common problem. I just haven't call...

I hope you don't use a dock with that.

What would it do to the dock?

I found it.... label on bottom side of Botvac. Thanks

I ran into the same thing with a washing machine review. It died 6 months after the warranty expired. I put it on the curb with a free sign. My previous one lasted about 25 years. If I had known about Consumer Report's ranking for the iClebo I would have liked to have tested it. I can't remember if ...

Sorry. I got this post out of order and I thought you might miss it. So, I'm repeating myself.
I'm trying to figure out why there are 3 other robot vacuums ranked between the Roomba 880 and the Botvac.
How could they rank so well and appear to be ignored?

Consumer Reports is good at testing scientifically and rating according to the criteria that they came up with. But if you don't agree with their criteria, then of course, their rankings might not match yours. But as far as being able to have decent coverage and get from room-to-room, the Roomba's ...

Are lighthouses needed? Could they put the Roomba in a different room everyday and let it wonder out of there?

Surprised by what seems like low interest in the iClebo Arte - Costcom.com has very positive reviews of it. . http://www.robotreviews.com/chat/posting.php?mode=edit&f=10&p=130384 . CONSUMER REPORTS 04/19/2015 online rated the Roomba 880 #1... iClebo #2 They seemed to miss a lot of criteria ...
