I Have a New Favorite Toy in My Home and His Name is Neato + Giveaway

May 17, 2012 by Jennifer Sikora

Jennifer here-

I love finding new gadgets on the market that help me keep my home clean –I mean really clean. I am not one for dirt or grime at all, and of course with me having all my dogs, sometimes that is just not possible. Dog hair gets on the floor and it causes a lot of extra cleaning involved.

However, I recently discovered a new product that makes getting all that pet hair up seem like a breeze! Let me introduce you to Neato Robotics.

Neato Robotics has just released the XV-21 robot vacuum cleaner. It does everything that I hate to do — without me doing it! When I was reading the box, I thought to myself, “How in the world is this little machine going to clean my floor?”. I am here to tell you that it does that and more!

As soon as the machine  was delivered to my home, I took it out of the box and charged it. I was chomping at the bit to see if it actually would do what it said it would do. As soon as it was charged (which only took about 2 hours for a full charge), I set the language on the Neato and then I let it rip to go hog wild on cleaning my carpets.

My dogs did not like my new toy.

The dogs were running all around my Neato trying to figure out just what it was doing. However, I knew it was really cleaning my carpets. In fact, it was picking up tons of hair and dust bunnies that I thought were already clean thanks to my daily vacuuming.

Watch this video to see how Neato Robotics really works! I am amazed at its capabilities.

My favorite aspect of the Neato is the fact that I can schedule it to clean. I don’t have to remember to turn it on. I just set the schedule and it does the rest.

I think I have fallen in love.

Neato can be purchased at places like Lowes, Sears, and Amazon. Neato retails for around $350.

    We bought the Neato xv-21 which came recommended when you have pets and I must say it does a amazing job.
    My husband started making a review of his new gadget at Neato XV-21
    question: If you have a 2 story house, Do you have to buy 2 robots or are there other solutions?

    regards

    I feel very blessed to own a Neato (Rosie). It took us quite a while to save to buy her but i feel SO blessed.
    I have been bedridden for 4 years and not able to do any cleaning. My husband who is 62 years old works at least 65 hours each week, sometimes more, yes that is correct, not a typo.
    He has little time after work, laundry and preparing meals and weekly shopping for all the housework. Thanks to Neato some of his workload is reduced.

    Just got my neato xv-21. I love it! My Electrical Engineer husband is amazed and pleased by how well she works. We named her Bi _ch (Yes I removed the letter t so as not to offend). We have 5 dogs in a large house. We need to vacuum everyday. Now the Bi_ch gets up every morning at 9:30 and vaccums the house. After about an hour and a half the bi_ch gets tired, rests, and then about an hour or so later returns to where she left off. On the weekend I told my kids, “you better get up, it’s almost 9:30 and the Bi_ch is going to vacuum whether you’re awake or not. I’m amazed at how much dirt and dog hair she gets EVERY time. God I love that Bi_ch!

    I do my cleaning on the days my husband works the first shift because then I can be fast. I start by picking what’s on the floor and throwing a load of laudry because the smell of fresh clothes always boost me up, plus my cup of coffee. Once my house is clean is time to bathe the dogs, my kids have short hair but they leave a mess on the living room where they are all day, because outside is so hot and they need to be fresh. So this will save my back from the constant pain of brooming and vacumming so YES I NEED THIS!!!!

    Keeping a specific schedule helps. One day is trash day, another is mopping day, etc. That way everyone in the house can help because they too know the schedule.

    The best tip I’ve seen is to just do a little here and there. While I brush my teeth sometimes I wipe my sink handles and faucet with the face towelette (after I rinse it really quickly) I used to clean my face, then wipe down the toilet seat if it needs it, flush the wipe, and wash my hands!

    Hard water and soap scum can be kept at bay by using a sponge or towel soaked with lemon juice. The acidic lemon juice breaks down the dingy grey build up of soap scum/hard water stains.

But as far as really cleaning, I haven’t done a real good cleaning in over a month. But I usually, when I can, clean up a storm, and this would make my life so much easier, would love to have it!

    It’s best to have the whole family involved. If someone else picks up after you, you learn to become careless. I actually believe it’s good for kids to learn to clean, etc, because it helps them learn to notice more details, and to recognize the repercussions of their actions. (ie. spilled food left overnight is harder to get up the next day.)

    I am a college student and my mom tolerates my cat and house rabbit roaming our apartment. Most people don’t own rabbits and they are considered ‘exotic’ by most veterinarians. Let me tell you that rabbits shed A LOT of fur. It’s literally everywhere (carpets, pillowcases, laundry, sofas, computer keyboards, bathroom, dishwasher, etc.)! Having this cleaner would be a huge help for us!

    I can’t live without Clorox Cleanup. It is great for cleaning. And removes stains from anything white.
    From coffee on counter tops to lipstick on white carpet or laundry stains.

    To get off stubborn things like crayon, grease and basically anything use Mr Clean pads. For shiny sinks use Old Dutch cleanser, sanitizes as well and smells good. To get odours out of your house including smoke use a little orange glow in your sink and fill with hot water or add it to a load of laundry you wash in hot and it smells like oranges for a week and removes any smells:)

    I truly believe that a house can be messy, but it should be clean underneath. Sometimes things pile up – papers, folded laundry, blankets we used for cuddling. But deep down, it’s pretty sanitary. I like to clean all of my floors at least once a week, to keep dirt from being tracked all over. And I do laundry pretty much every day, so it doesn’t pile up on me!

    I pretty much just follow my DH & two little guys around day & night, cleaning up after them, lol! I also focus on one room a day! Still looks like a nuclear toy bomb went off in our home, but it’s clean! 😀

    My only advice, that I do not always follow well, is to have a loose schedule that you do a certain small area every day so it never gets overwhelming.
