I've got a Neato Botvac Connected. Works for me (single dweller in a bachelor apartment).
Problems:
- The app SUCKS. I can't stress this enough. You can't even request that the bot return to its dock without first asking it to do something else.
- It took forever to setup the WiFi. Randomly it just worked after trying 5 or 6 times, repeating the same procedure.
- There was no documentation for the API until very recently. And as far as I know, you need to connect to their cloud services to make use of the API.
