Yeah, stuck on a random thing is game it always plays. The kids looks for the Neato when they get home, it's like a game of hide and seek some times.

Our batteries are totally shot now though which causes it to act stupid and be pretty much useless until the new batteries arrive. It'll wake up on schedule, start vaccuming, but then ramdomly die in the middle of the floor like it doesn't even have enough juice to return home.

The other thing is to make sure you have the latest firmware for it. They improved the corner cleaning somewhat in one of the recent updates.
