Not really, we have the same problem nut sometime changing the length of the house does make a difference.

It constantly gets stuck by the stairs. We finally shortened the hose so it won't reach the stairs so we can at least run it when we're not home and then hand vacuum by the stairs. Too bad because it does clean good everywhere else.

For me, this one gets caught in a different corner (near the stairs). What really bugs me is that it gets tangled in the hose. I probably have too much hose on it. Other than that, it works exactly like the KK. Good luck.

Ours does get stuck in one area for no particular reason. But most of the time it moves nicely.

This is a waste of money, it sits until I touch the hose, then goes around at full speed then stops again. Don't buy

I had the same problem with the Kreepy. It will happen with this model too as they are virtually identical in function. In my case I solved the problem by filling a bucket with water (for ballast) and setting it near the edge on the top step to keep the floating hose away. When the pool is used or company is over I take the bucket out. This cleaner does a great job at a third of the cost.

As with yours, my old one was always getting stuck. This one is great and does not get stuck at all. Very impressed.

My creepy crawler does not get "jammed" it works great once I properly hooked it up. Check you weights or pool "eye" or if it has to much hose that could be an issue as well

We had no creep or crawl. After using it for one year, one of our cats kept trying to claw or eat it. Took it outside and placed it on a section of our wood handicapped ramp. It has not moved in spite of rain, ice, snow and slick frozen fog. Go for it!

No problems. There are no sharp edges and this has not been a problem with my grandson who is also crawling around, pulling himself up, etc. I continue to be very happy with this item!

No. the pictures is wrong. it should be (Black and Yellow) color Rock Crawler

No. It bends. I bought it so my 10 month old can crawl in and out of it and not feel trapped.

In my experience - YES. The idea for the round door knob protector that it turns and they can never grab the door handle.

It stays up at my son's house so I'm not sure about how easily it would be on a frequent basis. Since I purchased it I've seen smaller crawl cylinders and tents. I should have bought one of those since there is limited space. They leave the tent up in the dining room.

I don't think so...my 4year old niece had a blast showing her sister how to use it...and they even had me crawl through a time or two. It was a tight squeeze, but I made it. :)

When my son did use it, I didn't feel he had any backwards trouble. He was better doing that at first than going forward. As for going around corners, if you had a larger space I think it would be fine. We didn't, and so when he would knock into a corner, he didn't have enough room to learn how to correct and would get frustrated. But if reversing after hitting meant your child would hit another wall or furniture, I wouldn't suggest it. I'm longing for the unfortunately dangerous walkers of the 80s for my house! Lol

I would recommend using at least two paddles. If the monster eats one; you would be up the carpet without a paddle.

If on surface where spider crawled I believe he would be "trapped". I used for flying insects that would land on treated surface.

Depending on how much furniture you have in the room, NEATO can get stuck in very tight places, like where all the chair and table legs sit under a table. My NEATO gets stuck on the curve of my rocking chair. It runs itself up onto the curve and can't get down. So, I just put some magnetic tape parallel to the curve, and then it doesn't try to go there. Regarding another answer -- you don't need to block off the stairs. You can block off the entrance to a room (like a bathroom that has fuzzy bath mats). NEATO has "drop sensors" that alert it to the edge of a stair, and guide it away.

Not at all. There is nothing attaching the staircases to the house, so it takes only a second to reposition it between different floors. Not having another staircase actually makes playing easier, because the space isn't cluttered between the halves of the house.

Yes, it should work in your crawl space provided it is a relatively open area. Obstacles will limit its effective range. It is likely a big enough area that you will need more than one pest chaser. You can experiment with how many you need. Keep the pest chaser and the electric cord dry. Good luck! Charlie

Well yeah, it's a one way suction, I mean once something is sucked up it's trapped inside. I'm pretty sure that soft things like spiders would be messed up or squished in the suction process too.

I have found 2 dead, small spiders inside my back sliding door. Not sure if it was because of a line of boric acid that I placed orif it was from the riddex. Sorry I couldnt give you a better answer, but its a truthful answer. We have plenty of bugs in florida and the Riddex seems to work on all the other bugs.

I just put mine in a similar position and successfully crawled under it without setting off the alarm so theoretically it should work. The question is whether it would react to the cats approaching from a longer angle. It seems worth the risk to me. As Roderick suggests you could tilt it up at a slight angle if needed. How much you tilt it depends upon the height of what you want to trigger it (walking adult).
