When you buy the Neato vacuum you get freedom from vacuuming because the Neato XV11 does all of the work for you. There are not even vacuum bags to change because it has a collection container that takes all of the debris when it cleans and puts it into the collection bin. All that is required is that someone cleans that out by dumping it into a trash receptacle after every cleaning. Since it cleans the same area several times your floors will be cleaner than if a person would have done it since most of us only vacuum one area at a time and move onto the next room. If you decide to buy a Neato vacuum you will definitely be pleased with your purchase as so many other people are happy with their buy. Their only regret is not buying the Neato vacuum sooner even with the high price tag.
