How does it get the corners of the room clean since the iRobot is round?

It has several little brushes that stick out past the unit itself and they reach into the corners.

It's got this little brush that extends out from it that rotates and sweeps corners. Trust me I was skeptical at first but it does a great job.

I believe the brush attachment with the bristles, one without, and an extender that does corners.

It leaves a few bits around the perimeter. My Kyla rips into hers and leaves pieces on the carpet now and then. We just hit the board with the vacuum attachment once a week to grab up anything loose before it gets on the floor.

The little bristles do a good job on corners. They scrub stuff into the path of the machine. I have 2 long haired maine coons and no longer have furry tumbleweeds, even in the corner.

this is the best spin mop i've seen but no mop that i know takes scuff marks off. it is a round mophead and does my floors well. corners shouldnt get that dirty. i bought 5 of these for gifts. 4 of the 1.s i bought from another source only had 2 mop heads. this one has 3. they are washable also.

It goes in all directions so yes it should clean around it. It bounces back when it hits something they moves over and continues.

There is a removable platter on the bottom. It disengages and you can clean it. There are no rotating brushes like the Roomba but there are fixed bristles on the removable platter. Part of the floor scrub is it kind of wiggles across the floor. If you have a lot of small granule particulate, the "suck up" section gets clogged pretty quickly. But, I let it roll for about 20 minutes then dump old water, fill with new water and clean off the bottom platter.

It is not bad . . . but it is not perfect because it has rounded edges. It will definitely steam and sanitize the corners, but you will have to wipe the dust up.

Works great just as it does on hardwood floors. However, I don't use it on terra cotta (Mexican) tile floors because they are uneven, and I'm concerned that the vibration will eventually damage the machine. Just like all other floor areas, you may want to thoroughly vacuum occasionally to clean edges and corners or sweep them out prior to running the Neato. After years of Roombas, love, love, love Neato!

I use IRobot Scooba cleaner with water. I use 1 cap full of solution and the rest water. It does a great job on my floors.

I've had the Neato XV-11 for only a few days but I have had it clean my house twice. I love it, don't get me wrong, but it doesn't do corners well. But I didn't really expect it to. It tends to stay about 1-2 inches away from anything it thinks is a wall in order to not bang into it when it turns. The videos I saw showed it going right up into the corners, but mine most definitely avoids them; you end up with a small triangle of un-vacuumed space (a couple square inches).The funny thing about the Neato is that even though it's supposed to free up your time and do all the cleaning for you, I still end up watching it the entire time :) I'm sure the novelty will wear off after a while.

No dock, just a charger you plug into the side of it. The iRobot mop is different in that it cleans in the same way a swiffer would. The scooba works by first vacuuming, then spraying cleaning water onto the floor, then scrubbing, then squeegy vacuuming the dirty water up. The scooba covers about 400-500 square feet in a single run whereas the mop covers roughly 250 square feet in a run. I would compare some YouTube videos of the two to get an idea of how they work differently. I personally feel the scooba technology is better for scrubbing.

Does fairly well on corners and edges. Have no idea of there is another that's not so noisy. Noise seems about the same as a machine we have to clean rugs.

mine handles dining room tables and chairs easily. as long as it can get through them. I usually pull the chairs out. the neato xv-21 usually glides around the legs, with its proximity sensor it does not hit into the legs. mine has become stuck between the legs of chairs once or twice. but it is a rarity. and usually it completes its cleaning and returns to base.

In my experience, the 10 amps of power pull dust bunnies out from under dressers that I can't see or even know they are there. My dust bunnies consist of hair from both a Pomeranian dog and 2 cats and it gives me great satisfaction to know how clean my floor really is. Works really well for toe-kicks in the kitchen, too. Anything that is specifically targeted, like along edges and corners, wouldn't have a chance unless it's glued to the floor.

It is an accessory cleaning device. It could be used to reach narrow spaces.

I find I have to turn the mop head to meet up at the corner. certain areas/rooms, it gets right in there, others, it just gets close, but I still invert the mop head in a couple of directions to get the best result. hope this helps.
