Review on Neato XV Series Robot Vacuums Pet & Allergy Upgrade Kit by Jordan Perez

Does not work for XV-12 on carpet

This does not work for XV-12 on carpet. It was fine on the hardwood floor, but once it hits the carpet it stops and says "My brush got stuck." not suitable for XV-12. In fact, it is difficult to install and you have to work hard to use it. It's possible that the moment the gears are on the carpet, the resistance is too much for the Neato brush to spin freely, and it thinks it's stuck. Revain even sent me a replacement hoping it was just a broken brush but the replacement stops even on carpet after a short stay The filter works SUPPLEMENT: Instead of a new brush which I have reconfigured I have the brush strips and the Squeegee swapped out the old brush and ordered a new brush. Warehouse. The brush bearings I received are exactly the same as the curved pet brush. When I installed them, Neato made an awful grinding noise. After all these attempts, I had to come to the conclusion that the bearings were to blame. I noticed that they differ slightly from the original Neato bearings. They don't have a small indentation/groove like the old ones and the brass ball hole is slightly larger. As a result, it doesn't sit tight and the strap slips, causing the Neato to make a horrible grinding noise. I searched all over the internet until I found a suggestion on Robotreviews.com to add small washers to the end of the belt. Brush. So I found tiny washers (less than a dime) and placed them at the ends on the shaft over which I inserted the ball and bearing. Now everything is perfect. No noise and runs quietly, but with original old brush. I'm sorry I didn't know about this before reconfiguring the pet and allergy brush, maybe that solved the problem. If you have a similar problem, it's worth a try. See posts on pet slips and toothbrush allergies.[.]
