what is the neato squeegee for?

THe purpose of the squeegee is to help create a seal when used on hard floors (rather than carpet) to make the vacuum more efficient.

The Squeegee is just the blades of the wheel brush. Apparently they need to be replaced at some point or get damaged, but after operating my XV-14 for almost a year I've yet to replace a single one.

I think what it does is funnel the crunchy debris/dirt into the vacuum part - or somewhere that the vac can suck it up. Update on The Bailey (my name for the Neato) I can't imagine keeping up with the dogs/cats/dust/dirt without this guy. Even running it every day, I have to clean the filter in the middle of a run.

If you mean the little plastic/rubber strips, it really helps the machine to pick up every single item. I have really long hair and my cat apparently sheds the equivalent of another cat every day. Just the suction alone would picks up oodles more than a single person with a standard vacuum because Robby (my vacuum robot) covers every square inch of the floor surface but, the rubber literally crabs every single thing and rakes it up into the pan as well so double trouble for anything trying to stay on the floor. I totally love mine and wouldn't trade it for the world.

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

Clean the window as you normally do. In fact, if you kept your squeegee you can spray window polisher directly to the film and gently squeegee it away. This is what I do sometimes. Cloth cleaning is fine too.

It works like this; NEATO goes around every legs of the chairs which means more battery power expended so to avoid this place the chair against a wall and lay 3 strips on the floor on 3 sides of the chair to prevent Neato from vaccuming under the chair. Remember, anytime you want Neato to stay away from something use the magnetic black boundary strips. But if you dont like laying out boundary that is fine too. My Neato does not swallow electrical cords (unless its paper thin)it just run over it and I dont think Neato will plunge the stairs even without boundary because I put it on a table and it stayed on the table. Hope this helps.

Yeah, I noticed they have a backpack unit too which may be more convienent but we love this thing. The squeegee attachment works very good.

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.

I have no idea. but it certainly did not work for me. If it was supposed to squeegee the floor, it didn't. If it was supposed to help suck up the water in one direction, it did not do that either. It really didn't do anything. I tried it at all floor levels and it just smshed the water around back and forth.

We have found squeegeeing is required, however I'm assuming this material fills the pores of the glass & makes it smoother and easier to remove the water spots. Our water is hard and will leave resides on anything. Perhaps if you have a good quality water softener you would not have to squeegee it, but that is speculation. At any rate it makes squeegeeing much easier...

As in necessities? A squeegee, blade, alcohol to clean the surface and preferably a hair dryer for easier application.

Yes, but if you have a tongue & grove plywood floor the squeegees could be coming from the t&g; joint which will require you to go under the floor and find the joint and shore it up with a 2x4.

The Skoy Cloth is a great dusting tool when dampened. Leaves the surface lint free.

Nothing as others have said. I spent over 3 hours today talking to Neato's customer service about my XV-12 that is dead after 6 months for them to offer me this one to say, "there is no difference in the cleaning other than the color". Not sure if I trust this company.

Eitan, It will sort of clean the rifling, by that, I mean you will still need to use a few cleaning patches after the squeegee. I doubt that the squeegee will remove copper, unless you've used a good copper solvent prior to using the squeegee.

No. It just a clear plastic screen that you spray this solution on and place it on ur device. Then u use this squeegee to removes excess solution. Then u have to wait like 12 hoirs for it to dry. Its a great product becuz its reusable. But if you have a cracked screen this is not for u.

Yes, it can. I have very thick carpeting in my living room and Neato works like a charm on it!

I purchased this specifically to clean my windows, but it doesn't come with a squeegee. I simply purchased one at Home Depot that had a squeegee on one side and an absorbent pad on the other and screwed it on. It was never so easy to clean my windows, especially the ones on the second floor!
