Neato Robotics used to maintain their own repair facility in San Diego, very near Neato Robotics HQ, in fact. Vorwerk shut all that down. Vorwerk subsequently contracts with some third-party repair service/vendor who operate out of a business park in Fort Worth, though exclusively for Botvacs that are still under warranty.

Neato's cleaning days are numbered

One of the best robot vacuum makers around, Neato Robotics, is sadly being shut down, marking the end of an 18-year journey for the robovac pioneer.
Neato was founded in 2005, but it didn't release its first robot vacuum – the XV-11 –until 2010. That model was a technological treat, challenging iRobot's Roomba despite its $400 price tag. In the decade since, Neato's vacuums have made a strong contribution to robovac technology.
Neato's D-shaped vacuums – which made it easier for them to sidle into your room's corners – were one of the first to use LiDAR technology to help map your room in darkness. The company's BotVac Connected model was also among the first to offer Wi-Fi connectivity to help it connect to companion apps.
In both cases, Neato was able to steal a technological march on its main rivals, the Roomba, along with others like the Dyson 360 Eye and Samsung's Powerbot series. The addition of Wi-Fi also opened the door to voice control on the likes of the Neato Botvac D7 Connected.
While it wasn't the very first maker of robot vacuums – that honor to Electrolux and its Trilobite, which was first demoed in 1996 – Neato has left its mark on the cleanliness-obsessed robots. From here, Neato's parent company Vorwerk will fold its technology into a new R&D site that will apparently develop "both professional and consumer robotics systems".
