In October, the company produced a white version of the XV-15 called SV-12. In June, the company released the XV-15, a European version of the XV-11. In 2011, an enhanced version of its robotic vacuum cleaner was developed under contract for German appliance maker Vorwerk's Kobold subsidiary and distributed in Germany as the Vorwerk VR-100.

In February 2010, the company released its first product, the XV-11 robotic vacuum cleaner. Now the Neato XV21 runs like new, and have not had any issue sense.Neato was founded in Newark, California in 2005 by Stanford alumni Joe Augenbraun, Linda Pouliot and JB Gomez through Stanford's annual Entrepreneur Challenge. this resolved the Battery Issue 000# that was casuing the unit to stop working. I used a Pin extractor to re-shape the Female pins. The Female battery terminals in the Battery Connector, have gotten spread out, and are not makeing connection or good connect to the Male pins, ln the battery connector in the unit. now the Neato work as if is was new.ДЄlso after all the Plugging and Unplugging, of the batteries, the unit started to report a battery issue. I ordered 100uF 35V capasitor from DigiKey Part# UVY1V101MED1TD, and replace all 7 100uF 25V capacitors on the main board. I took it home to evaluate and after some trouble shooting I found that the 100uF 25V electrolitic capacitors that facilitate the CPU Startup are braking down. Hi I am a Electronic technical engineer, My wifeвЂ™s Aunt has a Neato XV-21 that was having the same problem. The above experiment has been performed dozens of times and the result is absolutely consistent.Дoes anyone have the DC supply voltage watchdog and power-on reset circuits around that ARM CPU ? IвЂ™d like to probe the signals but am too busy lately. This time, I powered up the XV-21 using the mains switch of the power supply. Then, I turned off the DC power supply mains (AC switch) and closed the DC switch. It looks like it returns to sleep in the middle of the wake up process. If I turned on the DC power supply first, then close the DC switch, the XV-21 will not wake up properly. I connected the XV-21 to a bench regulated power supply via a switch, letвЂ™s call it the вЂњDC switchвЂќ. Hint: the rising time of the DC power supply voltage has a vital role. I have re-tried the old batteries and still no luck. I have replaced the old batteries with the new ones and I am still unable to get the Neato to turn back on. I figured the issue was a battery issue and so I ordered replacement batteries from RobotShop and received them this afternoon. About a week ago we were unable to get the Neato to turn back on no matter what we tried. The only way we would be able to get the unit to turn on again would be to remove the batteries and leave them out for a few minutes before plugging them back in. We would not even be able to power it on and off with the main power button. When the Neato would вЂњdieвЂќ it would be completely unresponsive with nothing displaying on the LCD and the green LED light only partially illuminated. The unit would not turn on after it returned to its base to charge and would sometimes die on the way back to the base or during cleaning. We purchased the Neato XV 21 about a year ago and began to have issues with it about 2 months ago.
