Roomba is such a deal in the league of robotic vacuum cleaners that just everything in the clan is made after it now, some good to match its capabilities and some nothing more than mere disasters. You could place the Neato XV-11, the latest Roomba clone, in a category of your choice, but given its Room Positioning System which scans path with lasers to avoid obstacles, and a 360° viewing ability, I would definitely have it as a prospect to reckon in Roomba’s absence. Good for all kinds of floorings and carpets, the 4-inch Neato cleans in a back and forth motion. If it has impressed you right away, then stock up $400 for February when the Neato XV-11 is expected to go on sale.
