Our efforts have been aided by funds from The Colleges' capital campaign that will establish a library to excel in the TwentyFirst Century. Funds from two $ 1,000,000 grants have allowed us to upgrade the Libraries' technology infrastructure, add electronic resources and services ( such as HarpWeek and the electronic reserves room), and greatly enhance our presence on the World Wide Web by redesigning and supplementing the Libraries homepage. These funds also allowed us to inaugurate a state- of- the- art learning room for instructing students and faculty how best to mine the richness of our resources, both electronic and traditional. This transition will continue unabated. The desirability of this transition in our modem, electronic world is demonstrated by the responses to a survey last spring when respondents were asked to indicate their priorities for the Libraries. Respondents selected adding full- text electronic journal articles more often than any other choice on the survey. Other popular priorities were more current books, more journal titles, a more logical alTangement of collections in HonnolclJMudd Library, and more group study space in the Libraries. Fortunately, improvements in these non- technology areas are also supported by the Campa, ign. We have just received our third $ 1,000,000 grant. This one, from the Weingart Foundation, will SUpp0l1 the purchase of new library materials, the preservation of our aging collections, and the addition of cataloging records to our online catalog for many of our " hidden" jewels in special collections. Even with an accelerated transition to an electronic library free from the limits of walls, the four library buildings at Claremont will remain an integral part of campus life. For example, campaign funds are being used to begin a long- term project in HonnolclJMudd Library for improving study space. Progress has already been made with the creation of a new " computer- free" study space on the fourth floor of Honnold; it is already a popular study area for students. Campaign funds are also being used to house our collections more efficiently. We started this process by reorganizing the collections so that the fourth t100r of Honnold now houses books in the call number classifications in alphabetical sequence " A" through " D." Realignment of the remainder of the collections is planned. During the next few months, you will be able to watch our progress as two other significant projects move forward. First, the purchase of microform cabinets will allow us to move our substantial microform collections into proper storage cabinets on the first floor of the Mudd building. Second, the installation of compact shelving on Honnold tirst floor will provide growth space for our periodical collections. With the exception of periodicals currently designated " storage" and published prior to 1980, all collections will remain accessible during these moves. To the extent possible, we will undertake these moves during academic year breaks in order to keep disruption to a minimum. While we prepare the Libraries for the Twenty- First Century, we are also making certain that the library buildings remain places for learning, teaching, reflecting, and even the simple enjoyment of reading a good book in a comfortable, pleasant environment.+ Bonnie Clemens Director of Libraries, ext. 18045 bclemens@ rocky. claremont. edu HONNOLD/ MUDD • SEELEY G. MUDD SCIENCE SPRAGUE • 2 A~ NewWeb Resources Improved Online Help, more Subject Research Guides, a new look for Blais ( the online catalog), and a website for Special Collections are some of the major new resources now available on the Libraries' website. Online Help You will notice an expanded and greatly improved Help section on our website. These pages provide help navigating the website, guidance in the library research process, and answers to frequently asked questions. We have included a link to our site map, a glossary of library terms, a map of the Libraries, and a section on technical issues dealing with our new look. We have included extensive help designed for students just starting to write that first paper. Here they will learn how to start the research process, formulate ideas, evaluate information, and use information ethically. Online Help is now a rich resource for finding quick answers about the Libraries, for assistance in navigating the website, and for indepth information about library research. You can find a link to Help on every page of our website. Subject Research Guides The Libraries' subject specialists have been busy during the summer writing research guides designed specifically to assist students at all levels find resources on their subject. Each guide includes sections on finding books, finding articles in scholarly journals, and finding WWW resources. Many include a list of journals in the field available at the Libraries-- both paper and electronic journals. Each research guide is similar in layout and design but will include particular sections unique to that field. For example, the Psychology guide contains a section on Finding Tests which is an important part of psychology research. The Mathematics and Physics guides contain sections on Finding Handbooks and Tables; again, important in the sciences but maybe not in humanities or social sciences. Other guides include information on Finding Primary Resources and identify co]] ections held at the Libraries ( and other libraries) that will be of interest in that subject. Twelve guides are available now and many more will be added throughout the semester. You can find the Subject Research Guides in the Reference & Instruction section of our website. Blais In order to improve the performance of Blais, our online catalog, we have significantly changed the look. Instead of button images on the first page, we provide a table layout. We hope this change will make Blais more usable and reliable for remote users. You can find a link to Blais on each page of our website. Special Collections Website The Special Collections website is extensive and informative. It includes sections on Accessing Material, Collections, Publications, Web Links, Special Collections at Campus Libraries, and Exhibitions and Events. The Collections section is still being developed and will contain information for each collection housed in Special Collections. Access to these resources is available by title and by subject. The Publications section includes The Honnold Library Record, vol. I no. 2 ( Autumn 1958), a publication of the Honnold Library Society. During its 17 year run, it recorded the history of the Libraries of The Claremont Colleges, the collections, services and events, and the influence of the Libraries on the scholarly community in Claremont. The Exhibitions and Events section of the website includes information on exhibits mounted in the Libraries and will one day include online exhibits highlighting some of the unique and important primary resource material only found in Special Collections. You can find the Special Collections website in Libraries & Research Centers on the Libraries' homepage.• Kimberly Mosshart kmosshart@ rocky. claremont. edu CONNECTIONS is published and Idistributed during the Fall and Spring semcsters.

The permanent installation can bc viewed in the Libraries' new Keck Learning Room in Honnold/ Mudd Library. The concept of having a graphics installation in the Learning Room was the brainchild of Denison librarian CalTie Marsh, a member of the Keck Project Team. Along with Carrie, both Bonnie Clemens, Director of Libraries, and Gale Burrow, Coordinator of Instruction and Keck Project Leader, wcre committed to having artwork as an integral part of the Learning Room. Nancy Macko was invited to make a proposal for a permanent installation. Professor Macko proposed using the images and text found in the " alphabet" stained glass window at Denison and extending that interpretation sl ightl y. Portions of the window are already reflected on the Libraries' web site. Drawing from it for the Learning Room extends the familiarity with the images and continues the idea of language as it has formed from notched sticks and early cave paintings to its current digital form. We have experienced the advent of the digital age since the installation of the window almost 35 years ago. Macko and Blair expand upon the window's interpretation of the " alphabet" to include the most current state of language and text by addi ng a font that reflects digital tex t as well as to ex tend the primarily Western text- based languages of the window to include the Chinese character for peace, " wa. tt Extrapolating the images and text from the window to an appropriate application within the Learning Room takes into ~ ( jj ~ < J) c -;:: <:( > .. 0 < fl . r::. a. ~ 01 o o . r::. __--- Ie... consideration the architecture and activities of the space. To that end, a minimal selection of images placed carefully and thoughtfully around the room create a feeling of life and learning without distracting and disturbing those using the room. Since the scale of the room is much larger than any of the actual images, the images from the window have been modified and manipulated to accommodate the difference. The installation uses a palette that reflects the colors already present in the room- walls, trim, desktops, chairs and carpeting- so that the graphics seem to blend in with the room and, at the same time, add a sense of graphic playfulness and visual movement. Drawing upon the " alphabet" window as the graphic display in the Learning Room continues an already familiar theme that takes the viewer on a conceptual journey reminding one of the development of language and the value of text..

CSUlink is a combined catalog and book request service that allows authorized borrowers at all of these institutions to request any of the libraries' available books and have those books delivered to their home institution for check- out at the local library circulation desk. When you search our online catalog Blais for a book and find that we do not own it, you will be given an option to search CSUlink. If your library account is in good standing, you may borrow books through CSUlink: the system will ask you to enter your College ID number and name for authentication. CSUlink is easy to LIse and the books arrive quickly. There are no forms to fill out. You can access CSUlink from anywhere that you use Blais; you can monitor the status of your requests through the " View Your Own Record" function on Blais. When you see the status " CSUlink RECVD" by a book you requested, that book is waiting for you to pick it up at the HonnoldlMudd Circulation Desk. We at the Libraries of The Claremont Colleges are excited about this new service! Please ask at any service desk for more information, or call ( 909) 607- 3979.• Linda Gunter 19unter@ rocky. claremont. edu Harpweek: Electronic Facsimile ofHarper's Weekly The Libraries have just acquired the first segment of Harpweek, an exciting new electronic resource for research in American Studies. Harpweek is an interactive, digitized edition of Harper's Weekly. One of the most important popular illustrated journals of its day, Harper's Weekly is a rich source for historians of mid- to- Iate nineteenth century American news, culture, and public opinion. The illustrated weekly, which ran from 1857- 1916 featured news about the Civil Wa; and the building of railroads, Matthew Brady's portraits, Thomas Nast's political cartoons, and poetry and novels by American and British writers, some famous, some forgotten. Harpweek makes Harper's Weekly accessible as never before. It contains five extensive genre indexes: News & Features, Illustrations, Biography, Literature & Publishing, and Advertising. Each of the genre indexes can be searched individually, in combination, or by topic, geography, occupation, chrono'iogy, or literary genre. One scholar, for example, was able to search for advertisements featuring Abraham Lincoln. In addition, many of the indexes have their own special subindexes, such as a " newspaper index" under literary genre, making it possible to search for quotations and paraphrases from specific American and international newspapers used by Harper's Weekly as sources for much of its news. Harpweek is currently available in its first segment, " The Civil War," which covers 1857- 1865. The second segment, covering 1866- I871, is scheduled to be released later this year. Harpweek is on the web at http:// www. harpweek. com. We expect a CD- ROM version offering better capabilities for printing graphics to be available later in the semester.• Adam Rosenkranz arosenkranz@ rocky. claremont. edu Chadwyck Healey's African American Biographical Database The African American Biographical Database ( AABO) provides full- text biographical information about more than 30,000 African Americans from all walks of life. Currently covering 17901950, the database is a collection of digitized directories, encyclopedias, biographical dictionaries, yearbooks, newsfile clippings and other sources. lIIustrations or photographs accompany many entries. This database is available on the Libraries' web site in the Ethnic Studies section of the Subject List of Databases or at http:// aabd. chadwyck. com/. Based on Chadwyck Healey's Black Biographical Dictionaries, 1790- 1950, this database is a good resource for locating brief accounts of life as a slave and/ or abolitionist, researching national organizations such as the NAACP, or gaining insight into the life of an African American during this time period. As more source materials are uncovered, they will be added as the database is updated.• Kimberly Franklin kjranklin@ rocky. claremont. edu 4/ CONNECTIONS a newsletterfrom the libraries to the faculty ofThe Claremont Colleges It. s Official: ERes Is Available for You! Late last semester you may remember receiving a brochure describing our electronic reserves system, ERes, and the services we can provide with it. This was sent out to announce ERes' graduation from pilot project status to the level of an official service of the Libraries of The Claremont Colleges. You can read the text of the brochure at http:// voxlibris. claremonLedu/ onlineservices/ eres/ online_ broc. html. We would like to take this opportunity to reiterate that message by inviting you to use this service. What arc electronic reserves? Well, just as you would place readings and other course materials on reserve in one of the Libraries, our electronic reserves system allows these same items to be accessible over the campus network via web browsers. We will scan journal articles, book chapters, homework notes and other items, PERSPECTIVE Old bound journals are often dinged- up from handling by library users, falling to the ground during photocopying, or just sitting exposed to light and air through the decades. But brand new ones just back from the bindery are fresh and pure. After binding, our journals are very carefully and tightly packed in cardboard boxes. When I cut open a box and remove the layer of newsprint protecting the books, I am reminded of the smell of a new car. I love that smell. It is a smell I'll miss when, as is predicted, all scholarly journals will be on- line within ten years. Of course, there will be other pleasures. We won't need an itty- bitty nightlight to enjoy reading in bed. Just a laptop.• digitizing them as computer files that can be accessed from a page created for your course on ERes. Again, please consult the brochure for more information on technical details of the scanning process. Don't worry, it's really quite easy to make materials available this way. Among other features, you and your students can use the bulletin board and chat room to continue discussion outside of class. You can make many different kinds of documents available on ERes, including MS Word, HTML, plain text, and web- standard image formats ( JPEG, GIF); you can even place other web sites " on reserve" on your course pages. We can work with you to explore various ways to fulfill your course reserve needs. For more information, please contact James Otto, ERes Manager, at ext. 77530, via email or come into any of the Libraries and speak with staff at the Reserve desk.• James Otto jotto@ rocky. claremont. edu Lecture Series 1998- 99 Spring 1998 marked the inaugural semester for Claremont Discourse, the Libraries' interdisciplinary lecture series featuring Claremont faculty speaking about their recent research and publication. Students, faculty, and staff from The Colleges who attended last spring's lectures added to their success by actively participating in follow- up discussions. We have planned three lectures for Fall 1998 and three for Spring 1999. All lectures begin at 4: 15 PM. Lectures for Fall 1998 On October 7th, Nancy Macko, chair of the Art Department at Scripps and internationally recognized artist, presented a multimedia lecture in our new Keck Learning Room. In her art, Nancy Macko has helped bridge the gap between Art and Computer Technology. Using examples from recent projects, her lecture, " Applications of Digital Processes: Graphics, Photography and Web Projects," showed how digital methods can be used to approach aesthetic problem solving. On November 2nd, Janet Brodie, chair of the History Department at the Claremont Graduate University, will speak about her current research on gender and the history of the defense industry in Los Angeles. On December 9th, three members of the Joint Science Department- Steve Naftilan ( physics), Merri Lynn Lacey- Casem ( biology), and Scot Gould ( physics)- will speak about their research on spider webs. In their lecture, " Spider Webs: Unraveling the Mysteries," Professors Naftilan, Lacey- Casem, and Gould will show what they are learning about the chemical makeup and molecular structure of spider silk and how it relates to the larger scale structure of the spun web. The Lecture Series in the Spring will feature Audrey Bilger, Associate Professor of English at CMC on Feb. 3rd; Jean Schroedel, Associate Professor of Politics and Pollcy at CGU on Mar. 3rd; and Wendy Martin, Chair of the English Department at CGU on Apr. 14th.

John Sutter, a Swiss emigrant, held a large land grant which included parts of the American and Sacramento Rivers, northeast of Sacramento in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountain range. Sutter hired James Marshall to build a saw mill on the American River. On the 24th, Marshall found a few nuggets while inspecting the mill and, as the saying goes, the rest is history. Why are the gold rushers called the ' 4gers since gold was found in January of 1848? Because " the ' 4gers" refers to the thousands who headed for California, by land and by ship, in 1849. Though the news of Marshall's gold find became known quite quickly, there was no evidence that it was more than a local and superficial occurrence. Gradually, as hunters took up the quest, the news traveled westward to San Francisco and to other parts of California of their success in gathering gold nuggets resting in stream beds. Other parts of the United States heard about the discovery but paid little attention to it. This changed when President Polk, in a speech before Congress in December 1848, confirmed the stories of plentiful gold. The eastern part of the United States and the rest of the world realized the possibility of fabulous wealth in California. California history might have been quite different if the news of gold had reached the Mexican government with any speed. Just nine days after Marshall's discovery in January 1848 the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo was signed ending the U. S. war with Mexico, and ceding California to the United States. There was an earlier gold rush in California. though not in the Sierran foothiJJs. In 1842, gold was found in Placerita Canyon at the northwestern end of the San Gabricl Mountains near Newhall. California belonged to Mexico then, and many of the miners were veterans of gold mining in Mexico. The find started a rush, but not on the scale of 1849. Since then, prospecting and mining has continued in the southern California mountains with substantial amounts of gold found, but it has never reached the easy pickings of the first discoveries in 1848, in the Sierra Nevada foothills. The exhibit is located on the 2nd floor of Honnold/ Mudd Library in the North Study area. It can be viewed during the hours the library is open, and will run until the end of the Fall semester..

Overall Satisfaction 60% 40% 20% 0% 65432 1 NOT VERY SAT1SF1ED SATISFIED Library Survey Results Complete Last April, a Libraries Survey was conducted to determine the satisfaction level of the faculty and students of The Clarcmont Colleges with the Libraries' collections and services. A sample was drawn which included 1456 undergraduate students, 714 graduate students, and approximately 700 faculty that were surveyed. We had a response rate of approximately 15% from each population. Our highest number of responses came from Pomona College ( Thank you, Pomona!) and the graduate students. We appreciated the high response rate as the survey was sent out at a very busy time of year. The results are encouraging as they reveal that, overall, library users are more than satisfied ( 2.58) on a scale of I to 6 ( I being " very satisfied" and 6 " not satisfied") with library services and collections. ( See graphic for overall satisfaction ratings.) Some of the areas our users are particularly satisfied with are electronic Interlibrary Loan, ease of book loan renewal, and access to electronic resources provided by the Libraries. Our services at all of our continued on page 7 PAl'ONDG OUT. 6 / CONNECTIONS a newsletter from the libraries to the faculty ofThe Claremont Colleges SURVEY continued from page 6 service desks rate an average of 2.2. Our collections rate a solid " 3" which is " satisfied," with users indicating that they would like to see more books, journals, and electronic databases ( both bibliographic and full- text). Printing from electronic databases rated high ( I. 9), bu t our photocopiers and microform reader printers rated 3.0 and 2.9 respectively. The library has relocated the Copy Center to the first floor of Honnold/ Mudd, and is working with our Copy Service contractor to improve our serVIces in this area. In response to the question, " When thinking about your future research and study needs, which three of the following services or resources would you most like to see the Libraries of The Claremont Colleges improve or enhance'?" the following replies received the most support. The number one choice was that the Libraries provide a greater number of full text online journal articles; second, that we have a greater number of journal titles, and tied for third were that we have a greater number of current books, create more full text online ( electronic) reserves, reorganize the collections in Honnold/ Mudd Library to put them in logical order, and offer a for- credit class in research strategies. In all, we are very pleased with the results of the survey, the response rate, and the information it gives us for future planning.• Mary Martin mmartin@ rocky. claremont. edu The Libraries of The Claremont Colleges Exhibits Calendar Thar's Gold iI/ Them Hills September I, 1998 - January 2S, 1999 HonnoldlMudd Library, Special Collections, 607- 3977, 2nd Floor, North Lobby See article, p. 6 COl/ temporary Chil/ a Exhibit November 2, 1998 - February I, 1999 Honnold/ Mudd Library, Special Collections 607- 3977, 2nd Floor. ncar Administration This exhibit curated by Professor Emily Chao, Pitzer College, is presented in two parts.

My Ultimate Van
by Lisa from Milton, Florida on 01/27/2010.
Trim: 2009 Mazda Mazda5 Sport, Owned less than 1 year.
I have back problems and I love the Lumbar in the driver seat!! It really helps. I like the stereo sounds great. Love the storage under the seats in the middle of the van. I really like how you can hide the console for the middle of the van under one of the seats. When I moved, it really helped that I could put down all the seats in the back to help me move more.
It is low to the ground. I can live with it.

I love it!!

Kinston. NC—(December 4, 2013)— Lenoir Memorial Hospital officials today announced the launch of a process to search for a strategic partnership with another hospital, health system or hospital company with the goal to further strengthen and enhance healthcare services and better meet the needs of the community for the long term. Recently, Lenoir Memorial engaged an outside hospital consulting firm that spent a year learning about the organization, the way it operates, its finances and its culture. The firm conducted studies inside the hospital and in the community to understand what Lenoir Memorial is today – and what it can be in the future. At the end of its work, the firm found that in order to continue the 100-year legacy of excellent, high-quality care in the future, the hospital must consider partnering with another organization. "For a century, Lenoir Memorial has been a trusted, essential care provider for patients in Lenoir County and the surrounding region. We are a strong and profitable organization today, but the world of healthcare delivery is changing, so we are taking proactive steps to ensure continued growth and success to protect access to care close to home," said Gary Black, president and CEO of Lenoir Memorial Hospital. The Lenoir Memorial Board is directing the partner review process with the assistance of Juniper Advisory, a Chicago-based financial advisory firm. The firm is a leading national transaction advisor to nonprofit community hospitals on partnerships in an era of accelerating consolidation. The systematic approach offered by Juniper will make certain that all options and types of partnerships are considered and that Lenoir Memorial's opportunities are fully understood. The Board is in the process of generating several objectives that will guide its selection of a partner. These criteria will be identified and discussed by the Board, then finalized over the next several months. Confidential discussions with a number of potential partners will begin in spring 2014, with the process expected to take 12-21 months to complete once those discussions have begun, as a variety of partnership models will be explored. "We recognize that the way healthcare is provided today – where it is offered, how it is paid for, how it is measured – is changing dramatically," said Ray Collier, chairman of the Lenoir Memorial Board of Directors. "Reimbursement for care is declining, the care itself is shifting to more convenient outpatient settings, and more emphasis is being placed on keeping people healthy, not just treating them when they are sick. Hospitals and health systems, as well as physicians, are partnering in order to meet these new demands." "We believe now, when Lenoir Memorial is financially strong, is the right time to look for a strategic partner," continued Collier. "We can evaluate our choices from a position of strength and allow ourselves time to conduct a thoughtful and thorough review on our own terms."

4.26/5 rDev +5.7%
look: 4 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.25
Rich deep golden color with fantastic clarity. A quarter inch thick white head rests on top with a bit of Brussels lacing. Fantastic aroma of coriander, pears, pale malt, and Belgian Strong Ale yeast greets my nose. The mouth is moderately carbonated and fairly dry. I get pale malt and Belgian Strong Ale yeast on the front of the palate and then an appropriate burst of coriander in the follow through. It's so easy to do overkill on the aroma and flavor of coriander, but they nailed it on this one.

3.95/5 rDev -2%
look: 4 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4
In review is a 2011 Vintage.
A - Pours crystal clear medium bright gold color with tones of cascading bubbles and a one fingered creamy, white frothy head that sticks on top without dying down.
S - Very dry and musty, fruity lemon, spicy, crackery aroma.
T - Very, very tart on the first several sips until the palate starts to adjust and then starts to subside. Nice lemon and coriander spiciness, pears, white grapes, and crackery dry malt. There is alcohol effervescence on the back end but never to the point where it creates heat on the way down.
M - Heavy medium body and very gentle carbonation, very dry on the finish.
O - A very solid beer, would love to compare this one to a more recent bottling date.

4.13/5 rDev +2.5%
look: 3.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 5 | overall: 4.25
A: Pours a golden amber with a fair amount of fizzy white head. This dissipates quickly to just a ring around the glass, leaving reasonable lacing.
S: Honey, cloves, and spices, with a slight phenolic note.
T: Medium intensity mouth coating sweetness, with yeasty spicy grainy overtones. The yeast comes forward through the finish. The booze is hinted at, but hidden.
M: Medium body, but coats the mouth. Medium carbonation.
Overall, very very good. Nice balance, and while there are hints that this is as boozy as it is, they are well hidden; dangerously drinkable.

When a truck is lifted above the manufacturers factory height, the steering geometry is changed. Depending on your truck and how high it is lifted, the angles of the steering components can be affected enough to cause steering problems and prematurely wear out steering components. Steering problems include ''bump steer'', poor ''memory steer'' and ''reduced turning radius''.

"Neato Robotics' XV-12 surpasses Roomba, easily. " - Steve Anderson, Gadget Review
RPS Laser Mapping System
- Creates a map of everything in its surroundings including furniture, objects, and doorways.
- Analyzes the room to find doorways. Then, it vacuums the area using a straight line pattern-vacuuming the room methodically, thoroughly, and efficiently - without bumping into furniture or bouncing off of walls. And, it of course avoids stairs.
- Updates its map continuously so it can either move to the next room to clean it. Or, if done cleaning, it automatically returns to its charging base.
High Performance Vacuum
- At the vacuum's core, a centrifugal cmpression-impeller follows jet engine airflow principles to create sustained high-powered suction.
- Powerful enough to remove all kinds of dirt and debris, including annoying pet hair.
- Thoroughly cleans whether on carpet, area rugs, hardwood floors, Pergo, tile, stone or linoleum.
Corner Clever +
- The rectangular front design allows vacuuming close to walls and into corners - right where dust and debris collect and hide.
- Its low profile allows cleaning under furniture, without getting stuck.
- The intuitive user-interface allows you to get started right away with the press of the START button. You can also schedule daily user-defined cleaning times with ease. Your house will be cleaner than it's ever been!
Designed to meticulously clean floors on a daily basis, the Neato XV-12 All Floor Robotic Vacuum Cleaner covers every inch of your floors, smartly seeing and working around furniture, stairs, and more. And its simple user interface allows you to schedule the XV-12 to clean your rooms while you are away.
Neato's laser-based Room Positioning System gives the robot vacuum a full 360-degree view of a room so it can create a map of the room, detecting walls, doorways, furniture and other obstacles. Using its map, the Neato XV-12 avoids most obstacles that other robots can only detect by impact. Just press the Start button and your Neato determines the best cleaning path to clean the floors using its unique, methodical straight-line pattern.
Once it finishes cleaning one entire room, the XV-12 drives through one of the "recognized doorways," to start cleaning the next room. And, with its powerful vacuum suction, it picks up all your dirt, debris, and pet hair on your floors. Schedule it to clean every day with just a few button presses. Your home will always have that "just cleaned" look.
It's Smart
The Room Positioning System (RPS) is the proprietary technology that makes Neato as smart as--sometimes smarter--than a human housekeeper. It sees 360 degrees, maps out your room, and then methodically vacuums every square inch, carefully avoiding any furniture, obstacles and stairs. Go ahead and rearrange the furniture: Neato will adapt its course without missing a beat.
Additionally, if running low on power, the XV-12 returns to its charging base, recharges, and then returns to where it left off and finishes the cleaning job--making it a great choice for houses larger open floorplans.
It's Powerful
The high-performance vacuum inside your robot works in a precise back-and-forth motion, picking up even tiny specks, and easily sliding under sofas, tables and beds. It works on all floor types--carpet, rugs, hardwood, Pergo, and tile--so you never have to clean another floor, even in your bathroom.
It's Simple
Just charge it up, press the Start button, and watch it work. Once it's finished in one room, it will begin working in the next--or return automatically to its base for recharging and resume cleaning where it left off. Schedule everyday cleaning with a few simple button presses and your house is always ready for guests, even when you've been out all day.
Neato Innovations
Some of the other innovative features and benefits of the Neato XV-12 all-floor vacuum cleaner include:
- Scuff-free navigation: At the vacuum's core is a centrifugal compression impeller that follows jet engine airflow principles. It creates sustained high-powered suction, allowing the Neato XV-12 to thoroughly pick up dirt and debris.
- Low-profile access: The robot's RPS technology constantly updates its internal map so it can accurately detect objects greater than four inches in height and carefully clean around them without damaging furniture and walls.
- Smart design and large dirt bin: The robot vacuum cleaner's low profile (less than four inches high) allows it to clean under beds, sofas, and toe-kicks in the kitchen.
- Self-docking to re-power: After completing its cleaning, it returns automatically to its base to re-charge itself. By utilizing the charging base, the robot is charged and ready to go when it's needed most
- Cleaning scheduler: With its easy-to-use interface, consumers can schedule the robot to clean every day, resulting in a more spotless home.
What's in the Box
Neato XV-12 robot vacuum, charging base, power adapter, batteries, boundary markers, filter replacement package, quick start guide, user guide, 4 replacement filters, 6 replacement brush blades and 1 replacement squeegee blade. Backed by a 1-year limited warranty.
