Congrats Freezer on fixing your unit! One of my Neatos went blind about a month ago and I knew the Lidar motor was the culprit because the turret was no longer spinning. I ordered this motor posted in a previous post: http://www.ebay.com/itm/221209189111?_trksid=p2059210.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=S...

Vic will you please elaborate? This is the first I've heard of this. Will they be manufactured....or I should say sold by Neato?

I successfully upgraded both my bots to 3.4 and have both currently running missions. I ran into the green dim light issue with one but was able to wake it up after messing around for a bit. I'm hoping I'll see an increase in run times.

I've got a XV-15 running V3.1 and the website says "There are currently no updates available for your robot. Please check back soon for information on future updates" This may be of help: http://neatorobotics.com/support/articles/xv-series-software-releases/ The table shows if your bot ha...

I wonder if someone could list the steps to turn back on scheduling ? 1. MENU button 2. down arrow 1 time to 'Schedule' (assuming the prompt starts on 'Spot Clean') 3. SELECT button 4. up arrow 1 time to 'Turn On/Off' (assuming the prompt starts on 'Set or Change') 5. SELECT button (screen flashes ...

Don't worry...it's not refurbished. I bought 2 XV-14's from Costco that came in the exact same packaging. They are brand new. I know Neato Robotics have changed the way they package the robots a few times (3 different ways to be exact).

I tried the rubber bands last night and it resulted in me disassembling a wheel because one of the bands slipped off jamming up the tire. While the rubber band idea might prevent some wear on the original treads, I didn't see any significant increase in traction.

I'm trying to figure out a way to increase Neato's traction on all surfaces. I'm thinking something spikey that will grip carpet/rugs really well but won't damage hardwood. I know there isn't much room between the tire and body of the neato so anything added to the tire would have to be pretty thin....

The two Costco's near me do not sell neato in-store anymore.

I bought and XV-14 from Costco recently and noticed the 3.2 firmware version as well. The difference I notice is that it is more careful and takes a little more time when doing the perimeter. This is an improvement for me because I use quite a bit of boundary marker to keep neato off of shag rugs th...

Sure its not as smart, but never problems like this. But i wont give upp.. will try upp to 5 units.. What i read in the Swedish forums that...

No, the problem is that the path of the Neato is much longer with 3.1 than it was on 2.6. Its path is not logical, it loses time and battery to go through the house many times, running on areas that were vaccumed before. Areas are also smaller than before and door recognition is not clever as it wa...

Has anyone tried to update the neato with the Kobold VR100 firmware?
