We just bought a Neato vac and my wife loves the thing. Just turn it on and off it goes. She can control it from her pad, it tells her when the "bag" is full, if it's stuck somewhere, etc. It really does a good job and just runs in the background. It's easy to clean, is relatively quiet, but is very convenient.

Our house is an open floor plan with tile and lots of carpets with fringe. I just fold the fringe under and it does its thing. It continues on until its battery starts getting low and heads for home. It runs for about an hr on turbo. It can cover a lot of ground in that time. However it does not return to its base. It heads that way and stops just short, huh?

It comes with a magnetic strip that is used to stop its travel into an area but we have found that "bought off the web" strips do not work the same as the one that came with it. Anyone know where we can get an original?
