    I just ordered an 880, but I really like the way the Neato methodically cleans.

      johnnieace45 yeah, my neato botvac is amazing. Better suction than the roombas, and gets every spot perfectly without wasting any time. Now, I haven't tried the 800 series roombas, so I am not sure how much the suction is improved over the previews models. But the 800's are also much more than a $350 neato... in fact double the price.

    You should upgrade the gearbox the brushes is mounted in to a green or even better - a grey model. Not as much hair gets stuck in the sprockets as in the red one. Also the side brush should be upgraded to one with 6 arms instead of 3 arms.

      @@AdmiralVanz I've never opened one up. But, I doubt a PC fan would have enough speed / power. Would have to look up what type of fan they actually use and try to find same fan (or similar from another brand). May be options in Ebay or other sites.

    Do more hair get twisted around the brushes now that the teeth are missing?

      @ir3331 7 років тому

      Jakob Mayerhofer no, the actual bins vaccum sucks hair and dust of the brushes. There are also the thing that the brushes hit in in the door that act like teeth. So the real answer is no. (I have a roomba with a aerovac bin upgrade so I know what I'm talking about

    I have the same one. but how do you use the new brushes!? The old ones are grey and yellow. The green ones don't fit! Do you have an installation video?

      The standard NiMh charger is not designed to charge Lithium batteries. It may damage the battery or worse, have it catch fire...
