The problem with the holidays is people keep coming over and messing up your house. Cookie crumbs, road salt, dog hair—how can anyone enjoy time with friends and family with all that dirt on the floor. Give that clean-freak in your life a robotic floor cleaner. The Neato XV-21 works on all floor types and includes a special brush for picking up pet hair, dander and fibers. It also has a fancy Room Position System technology, which allows the robot to see in 360 degrees, map out a room, and then methodically vacuum every square inch. $429.99
