What is WalkAway? Does thing move around like a robot vac? ??

It isn't like a robot vac...it just means you can place the vacuum onto the stain and press a button to start the cleaning cycle and leave it while it cleans (which is different from their regular carpet cleaners that work more like a vacuum cleaner). It has a circular radius that it cleans so sometimes you'll have to run another cycle to clean a bigger stain. While it's cleaning, you can walk away from it, but after it's done it beeps and won't stop until you push the "Stop" button. I usually use the hose attachment to suck up as much extra moisture since it helps dry the carpet faster, but you could just move the Spotbot off the cleaned stain and let it air dry.

This is stationary. Mine was great until it stopped working and was returned. I will probably purchase another.

It means you can set it on a spot and you can walk away while it works. It doesn't move it sits on a single spot to clean it and you can go about doing other things

No, it is for localized stains. You place machine on stained area and leave it there until machine stops...stain is gone. A lot easier than scrubbing forever with poor results. It has been a lifesaver for me.

No, it shampoos one area about a foot circle. You can set it to run a 3 or 6 minute cycle (depending on the stain) and walk away. But it doesn't move.

Not really. When the brush is engaged, it kind of moves it along, but it's wheels are not propelled. I do find it quite easy to move around on tile and wood floors, and forward on carpet. It's a little handful when drawing it back...

It doesn't move by itself... It just lights up when it detects movement in a small area...

Yes it is, along with a wall mount. The vacuum slides out. The handle removes so it can be hand held as well for convenience. You will need to make sure you run the battery down- it seems to have a memory.

It has little bristles that stick out on one side and they rotate in a circle. That helps the ROOMBA reach corners and flat walls. It has helped keep the traffic dirt and dust down in my house. I still do a good clean on the floors once a week. Before the ROOMBA I was sweeping once or twice a day. (I do have 4 kids though)

All vacuums are not quiet. My Electrolux is just as loud. I'm not a fan of up rights but it serves the purpose at our cabin's. It is light weight and easy to move.

I agree with previous 2 answers. Comes right off walls, high-chair tray and hardwood floors with Magic Eraser.

No. It is only the "dustbuster" style detachable. I have a full vacuum with attachments that I use when necessary. Otherwise, I use this vacuum for everything else. I now avoid the larger vacuum whenever possible.

It is not. HOWEVER, the detaching action gently propels it forward. It is simple physics. You will like it. By the same physics, it dethatches nicely in the forward direction... if you drag it backwards it might dig-in a little... so just do a turn and continue.

It sounds like a vacuum cleaner. It's maybe a little noisier than some hand-held vacs because it is more powerful, but I don't think it's dramatically louder.

The sweeper is a mini-vacuum. I use this mode for cleaning out my car, where I don't want to blow debris around, I want to suck it up into the bag for disposal. The blower works great for chasing leaves out of the garage and off the sidewalk. It's really nice to have both, and switching from one to the other is really easy with the B&D; sweeper/vac.

Yes the purple tube detaches so that you can use it as a handheld up close vac, like in the car, etc....

It is an accessory cleaning device. It could be used to reach narrow spaces.

No it doesnt move at all. It doesnt work good at night unless you have lights in the area. Not of the best quality.

I am not certain how to answer this. This is the most maneuverable vacuum I have ever used. My sense is the machine is responsive to user control and does not control the user. It's the vacuum head that is twisting and turning. The control is turning the handle from the vertical position. My sense is that this is more wrist action than joints in the hand. I suggest you test the vacuum in a store before buying if this remains a concern.

When it bumps into my dog such as when he's sleeping, it will turn and move, but the dog of course gets out of the way first. The vac will pause and change direction if it sees an object in its way, like me when I'm doing dishes. I love my Neato.

Its not classified as self propelled but it will drag you along as you go. I like this thing and highly recommend it.
