I sweep and mop/swiffer at least once a day. We have a pyrenees x newfoundland and she sheds all the time.

My housecleaner comes every two weeks and does the deep vacuuming and mopping. She has said the Neato has dramatically reduced the amount of time she needs to work on the hardwood floors.
This is my plan for when I move into my new house where the entire open concept main floor will have hardwood. Although I'm still deciding between a Neato and a Roomba.

Whenever the bunnies start bouncing around on their own.

3 to 5 times a week. I have 100+ year old hardwood floors in the entire house.

I have animals and use my Roomba IRobot a every other day. Best purchase I ever made.

Every day. We have pet birds and they can get pretty messy.

I did a lot of research on Roombas versus Neatos and didn't read anything that justified spending more $$ on a Roomba. We've had the Neato about a month now, and it's great.

It definitely works. I haven't used it upstairs yet (all carpeting up there), but may try it up there this weekend. I mainly bought it for the hardwoods on the first floor.

My Roomba was 350.00, what is the price difference? Never looked at the Neato brand.

At least once/week. Depending on how busy the house was that week.. sometimes I skip a week just for fun.

How is the Neato in corners and against the walls? That is one of the criticisms I've read, along with how loud it is. I would plan to have it run during the day when I'm not home so the noise is less of an issue, but I am concerned about the corners and against the baseboards and cabinet toe kicks.
