Can you please tell me how much electric energy Neato uses, being docked and plugged in all day? Thank you

This might help. It's on a trickle type of battery so it only charges when needed. Electric would only be when it needs charging such as after running or if sitting for several hours. The volts on the battery packs (which there are 2 of them) are 7.2 volts. After running Neato and when he needs to go back for recharging will take no longer than 2 hours so far from what I see. I hope this helped some. Biggest benefit is being able to vacuum in under items that you can't with an upright. Neato gets out more dust out of my carpet than my upright ever has and I have even shampooed my carpeting twice a year. This might help.

I don't know specifically, but I do know it's got to be minimal. If it consumed a dollar a day I would have certainly noticed the difference in my electric bill. I would guess as much as any other electronic item, such as your dvd player, wireless phone, clock radio, microwave, anything that's plugged in continuously. Whatever it is, it doesn't bother me because it's worth it to me to have clean carpet and floor without my effort. It's an amazing gadget that works well.

I did not keep the tech sheet, but I daily charge my cell as well as my ipoh with it. I also have a keyboard and mouse attached and plug my USB earphones and thumb drives there. No power issues to date.

Yikes ... I never looked, and I put the papers from the box "somewhere". HOWEVER, I will tell you this: My son is the first one in the family to purchase this Neato, and he got one refurbished. Within a few months, there was a problem. He contacted Neato to ask about a replacement part, but Neato sent him an entirely new unit. I looked up Neato through google, found the company website, and found where they said something for the batteries being 6 months (or at least that is what I understood it to say) http://www.neatorobotics.com/series/xv/

I suggest you write directly to the Neato customers attention dept. and explain the problem. I have a very good experience with those devices. One of them had a problem, I sent it to the factory and they replaced it. They sent a new one by mail.

I have mine plugged in all of the time and use the gaming mode all of the time. If I do unplug in the gaming mode it will last 2 hours at the most depending what I am doing.

Not sure what the official documentation says, but, the Neato Signature has a charging Base Station that plugs into a wall outlet. Inside the Base Station is an AC to DC Converter similar to what laptops use to charge their batteries. This provides all power. The Converter in my Base Station is marked as input 100 - 240 VAC, and output is 24 VDC @ 2 Amps. In addition, the power cord can also be removed/replaced to accommodate other plugs.

Sorry. No idea. I have bought three of these and for all I know the model may have changed. When connected properly these devices can 't be beat and certainly are energy efficient. Sorry I couldn't 't help more.

I tend to keep mine on power save, it seems to last pretty well. I'm not sure and exact answer on a number but several hours.

This is exactly why I purchased the dock. My kids were too rough with the receptacle on the bottom, now they have a full charge every morning.

we just blew it up when we had people staying with us. We kept it plugged in for the most part but I don't think you would have to. I don't imagine it uses much electricity but I don't really know.

I don't know. I have the laptop plugged in most of the time and only unplug it for travel or meetings. Never really kept track. Sorry I couldn't be of much help.

Not really it's going to be a waste of energy . I plugged it 2 hours before using it.

Thanks for the reply. I won't worry about leaving mine plugged in when I'm out during the day. It takes very little time to charge so I've always hesitated to plug it in and then leave the house. Like you, I don't have to shave 24/7.Thanks again.
