Forget These 2 Potential Replacements For Your

Navigation & Obstacle Avoidance-1 pts
I've been hunting for replacements for my 11 Neato's. I thought I would save others some unboxing and reboxing time by posting my experience with these two potential replacements. The first is the Dyson 360 Vis Nav. It is known for extremely strong suction, its D shape, but poor navigation. Poor navigation is an understatement. Even after a successful mapping under bright lights, when vacuuming in a well lit room it is likely to just quit and turn off in the middle of the floor after 15 minutes of vacuuming. That is my personal experience. Others who have kept it complain that eventually it will scratch its fisheye lens which is on top of the robot and navigation will get even worse, if that is possible. Next is the 3i GT 10+. This is a pretty likable robot. Reviewers point out that if the dock is on thick carpeting, due to a design flaw the robot hits the contacts hard and cannot return to the dock successfully for charging. This is easily remedied by placing the dock on a piece of stiff cardboard that sticks out a few inches beyond the charger. The real problem with the robot is that the battery is small and charging takes forever. I cannot imagine this robot being able to complete vacuuming even a small house within 8 hours. The other flaw is that it is a bit tall and cannot fit under some furniture that a Neato could slide under. So right now I will continue to manually start my Neato's with a push of the button while they are docked. And if they refuse to start without a flashing warning light, I just open and close the dust bin.
